I bought the GSL pass because I couldn't catch the finals live.

So glad I did. That was easily one of the greatest final series in starcraft 2. Not really any super one-sided games, a variety of builds/strategies from both players. Sick comeback. Sick mind games.

Just..great...

I loved the previous GSL S Finals, but that macro BC mothership play game had my jaw on the floor, probably best SC2 game I have ever seen.

the first 3 games that mvp won is amazing, the next 3 game is even better. but the final is 9.9/10 because of this way the final game is won.

I wonder if that battlecruiser build will actually get used more. I don't think squirtle could have won that fight without the vortex. So maybe if terrans can prevent the vortex this strat might work?

Maruprime is currently streaming and it looks like he's trying this supreme late game BC/Raven/Ghost comp against P

http://www.teamliquid.net/video/streams/Maruprime

EDIT: Game is over now. I only caught the last 2 minutes and it seemed like he was toying with the other guy (idk who his opponent was, but he was also GM).

Depends on the map....Metropolis was the perfect map for it since you can camp quite easily behind PF's. Other maps could prove far more difficult!

Also it has islands that you can put turret rings round to protect against Prisms and VRs.

Magnificent finale!

Great series, but that all in, just pisses me off.

Even though, congrats to MVP.

I think that maps like Antiga shipyard/metropolis are pretty good for BC's but also maps like emtombed valley/ohana/daybreak could work too if you reach late game

The BC toilet made me so happy! LItterally the most exciting match ive ever seen.
Im also mad at the way squirtle lost after his comeback, but i think if i was in MVP's position, i would have done anything to win also.

I was gutted at the way Squirtle lost in the end. After holding MVP's first rush it seemed clear he would hold. So sad...
You need to be 100% behind someone before you can stab them in the back

That is why you have to stay persistent if your are behind, force your opponent to make a mistake.
