To be fair, Squirtle messed up the last game, he had the game in his hands and then threw it away. You can't overlook a races strength just because a player makes a mistake with it. | ||

It wasn't won based on a long-term game plan with tip-top mechanics. Props to you for noticing that. I'm just saying that your opinion of this game not being "legitimately good" makes me think you're one of those people that complains about anything to sound insightful. Everyone will remember this game. It is going to be enshrined as the finale to an amazing GSL finals. I'm just saying I tuned in for the last game hoping for a game that showcased good mechanics and decision making and I was dissapointed. I'm just saying that the execution wasn't that good on either end. Thus, despite the fact that it was the last game in the Bo7 of the GSL finals, the game wasn't, in my opinion, good. I don't care whether it was "memorable" or "surprising" or "omg MVP's got mad balls look at how much he's blowing my mind" or not. I'm just commenting on how the game itself played out. You may or may not share the same opinion, but it's entirely up to you. | ||

Also, its hilarious that whereas someone like MC all-ins his entire SC2 career and has mad fans for it but MVP does it in a deciding game 7, after dropping 3 games in a row, including that heart breaker on Metropolis and he is 'cheeser' ? come on guys, get some perspective. Some people just like games like Game 5 a lot more than Game 7. Can you blame them? Do you like a 15 minute game more than an epic 120 minute LOTR battle of good and evil? You decide. And stop with the haters calling, it´s getting old. | ||

Protoss hits storms = Terran dies. Terran hits EMPs = Protoss dies. Protoss snipes Vikings = Terran dies. Terran snips Colossi = Protoss dies. It's balanced. Didn't say it was GOOD, but it's balanced. | ||

Under half the number of wins of Zerg, under a third of those of Terran. Hell, half of what MVP has managed by himself. Terran has as many or more Code S medals in every category as Protoss and Zerg combined. And way more overall. Last season Zerg beat Protoss in the final. This season Terran beat Protoss in the final. Terran players: "Whaaa Protoss is OP." lolk I'm actually not all that unhappy with the principle of MVP getting a fourth championship because he's a great player. But it seriously bugs me when I see constant Terran whining in light of that kind of record. Except that the terran winning is MVP, he is not just the best terran, he is the best player, but you can keep on blaming whatever you want to blame. | ||

Personally I found the entire series as a whole to be exhilarating, by far the best GSL finals. Like, going into game 7, after Mvp got up 3-0, and Squirtle did a ridiculous comeback to 3-3, I was flipping out. | ||

Maybe next season will bring some zergs to revert my attention back to the RTS, but until then I must liberate Heavens from Diablo's invasion on the highest difficulty  | ||

I don't blame him for using all-in: he's progamer, he does what it is needed to win, al-in are strat like other and he's a great player he has proved it so many times last year and in this season of the GSL how good it is: the three first game against Squirtle were well played and he did an amazing job against Parting . I blame just a bit Blizzard for the MULE, couldn't they add something like the MULE can't mine if there are less than 5 scv mining or something like that? It wouldn't change the game at all except those all-in which are getting really annoying... Perhaps if if terran late game wasn't garbage, they would not be so much allins. | ||

After Squirtle came back, I couldn´t stay still. I didn´t expect this AT ALL. Even though I wanted this finals to be good. And boy, it was GOOD! | ||

You can't have it both ways. If winning is purely player skill and racial balance shows who is stronger than Terran had more players than Protoss or Zerg in Code S. If winning is based on racial balance then Terran won the whole thing. Arbitrarily picking a point and saying "oh look, more Protoss at this point" does not prove you right. | ||

I think you tuned in to the wrong game then, very rarely will you see a starcraft 2 game have 40 minutes of constant action and brilliant decision making, the GSL finals of all things where 4-0 is the name of the game. | ||
