Get over it guys, cheese is part of the game. Squirtle is at fault for derping and losing to it twice. Luck plays a huge factor in cheese scenarios like this. It doesn't matter who is playing or how well they are, if they get bad luck in scouting/micro, they auto lose. It's just not a good way to determine skill.
How hard is it to scout?
He literally had the same information he had in the 2nd game and he held it off then. A game he probably would have had a huge lead if he didn't derp around by losing stalkers in the middle of the map.

MVP has shown consistency. And amazing play. Which Keen never ever did. He is just bad/lucky.

MC defended an 11/11 rax on I believe Atlantis Spaceship in the Up n Down matches, with ease.

Listen guys. IM.MvP and Keen are in the top 20 Terran players in the world. They are cheesing because the matchup is impossible late game.

Blizzard has forced their hand. and squirtles top 5 toss perhaps they know he's a better player and THAT's why they cheese. But that can't be possible right? Has to be imbalance.
And why wouldn't keen use the strategy he thinks is most likely to result in a win in his favor?

AAhh yes if your a GSL champion its ok to cheese but if your just a semi regular Code S player cheesing is a big nono, playing to win and making a livelihood out of your success? Fuck that random internet guy angry..

Squirtle gonna be so on tilt if the winner of t-zain/keen does it again and wins first game haha

Yes, a 4 time GSL champion cheesing because he thinks Squirtle is a better player clearly makes more sense than lategame imbalance.
You're missing my point. Most people tend to look straight at imbalance where there could be other factors involved here.
Take MVP for instance. Pre-Final he expressed confidence in his PvT late-game but we often saw him use mid game timings maybe becuase of imbalance (kinda contradicts himself) or maybe because he's undergone surgery and the longer the game goes the worser the state his wrists become.
It's entirely possible that he thinks Squirtle is better than him in PvT. I mean he did 3-0 a Terran in semis right?

As a terran who recently swapped to protoss, its much easier to win a TvP with a 2 rax than it is a macro game, the terran has to be leagues ahead of the protoss to get it done, which Keen isnt on Squirtle. Good job for him recognising this and just abusing 2 rax, i mean why fight the clock when u can win before the clock starts?
Game 1 was a really clear example of this, Keen arguably played a bit better, but Squirtle is competant enough to defend and hold on until the clocks in his favour, and then its gg. This is why u wont see Squirtle losing any PvT where the terran tries to go head to head macro against him, Squirtle is good enough to not be completely outplayed so he'll win once the clocks out.
I really do hope that every terran swaps to these 2 raxes in GSL atleast, then blizz might do something about the futility of TvP lategame and i can swap back to terran without feeling like a retard in every TvP i play for choosing to have to be twice as good as my opponent to win

if you really think squirtle is a better play than MvP in any regards you have no clue about this game

First game was terrible from Keen (~2ghosts in lategame all the time and attacking without reason in bad moments all the time).
And 2nd and 3rd terrible from Squirtle not knowing how to react exactly even though he has played vs that cheese, before too =/
I wonder how you would react if people rated your games with the same attitude.

I used to enjoy reading these things but man this thread :/
Pages and pages of balence whine followed by a huge circle jerk.

If Squirtle doesn't advance because of this I'm going to be so mad. He deserves it, he needs it.

Thorzain please learn from Keen.
If you ever rematch, repay that pokemon back.

Never seen someone try it though.
hmm this is what i do on ladder, seems to work well. Terrans ALWAYS follow it up by pulling every single SCV, so i just build 2 cannons and get called a hacker o.o

Squirtle's reaction to that all in:

This is without exaggeration what happens, it's retarded.
I'm fairly new to TL, never expected the whining to be this bad. Getting flashbacks of what the official bnet forums are like O.o

lol squirtle so desperately loves his greedy builds.. keen just exploited it.
it's not greedy builds its toss needs gas and a cyber core to hold off mineral only units. Toss is in for 225 minerals and 3 workers on gas just to hold of marines. So terran should be able to build more stuff being that don't have to tech to survive, this is why T rushes have always been good.
