Okay, I get that when Zergs don't punish it and let the Terran max and push with mech it seems strong, but believe me if every Zerg reacts to Mech like Violet did there you would never win a single game with it.
It's actually depressing how horribly you die against a roach max with drops trying to go mech.

awww poor mvp, but grats to violet. But lol split sieging against roach drop, unsieged and with a few worker on autorepair and kiting away from the overlords, while a few vikings forcing the drop. And the hellions being in the middle doing splash everywhere. Even having the siege tanks clumped would have been better, the way mvp had split the tanks the first roaches that got dropped splashed around 3 tanks.
Really bad engagement from mvp, but he was clearly expecting the drop in the main not on his army.

A really sad day. Why don't people seem to like upsets? It's better than rooting for the same overhyped player 6 seasons in a row. because people cheer for their favorite player. is that too hard to understand? o.o
It's not about not liking the better players or cheering for the favorite, I was fine with Symbol going through because he looked really good, very, very unlike Violet compared to MVP.

Someone please explain to me, what is theorycrafting?
And please explain without theorycrafting yourself I was actually under the impression that it meant actually making theories about builds, balance, how units should be changed etc but evidently it's expanded to suggestions about what certain units are capable etc I guess? I thought that the warning for ghosts and emp was actually pretty surprising provided it was true. I guess some more heavy-handed moderation can't hurt in preventing future whining/excessive theorycrafting though. Poor MVP ;__; it's mostly to prevent ridiculous derailment from the actual tournament and games theorycrafting about the developement in the current games the LR is focused on and what could have been done different is for me one of the main reasons to even be in this thread. Or is it purely for people that doesnt actually watch the games so they can follow what is happening?
It's not like LR threads have 100% set in stone rules, but they're definitely not a free-chat thread where over 50% of the posts can be about something entirely different from what's going on in a game/stream

Why MVP's face was like he didn't even care about it....

At least he can stream more often now

WTF did I just see about Archons? That is straight up inappropriate. I'd be pissed if I was Tasteless or Artosis.

Sigh MVP.
That was the only counter Violet could have really gone for, and MVP was completely unprepared for it. The only way to prepare without spending thousands of minerals on Turrets is to not go Mech in the first place. There's ways to drastically mitigate the damage that can do. The easiest of which is to see it coming beforehand and pull SCVs before the Roaches actually start landing and keep them on auto-repair. Every shot used on an SCV in that scenario is one that isn't used on an expensive mech unit.
Don't the SCV's just get melted by the tank fire?
Thats why Violet drops his roaches slowly, only a couple of ovies dropping at a time. Only unloading everything once the tanks are down.

It's absolute madness to pick a small map like Ohana and go Mech so MVP was rightfully punished
Also it's good that the exact same people aren't in the finals every year aside from the occasional year so the entertainment value in the later rounds will sustain
Not true. Mech does well on Ohana because it is narrow.

Well it was bound to happen given his writs and playstyle.
Now it will be interesting to see what strategy TaeJa will go for.

Liquid'Taeja!!! gogogogo!

Taeja seemed to have a strong TvZ against Annyeong and BboongBboong yesterday in IPL Team league. Let's see how he does.

You haven't been watching enough games, that's what happened in the recent god-knows-how-many mech TvZ games that got scouted within reasonable time by the zerg, which is the vast majority of time.
Mech used to win games by delaying a third with hellions, then hitting a pre-hive timing. The only mech build I've seen working recently was Puma's build at MLG with hellion into 4 cloak banshee.

Don't think MVP thinks of this as an "upset". If you go into a match with a 30% winrate in practice you're not gonna really be disappointed when the outcome is what you expected. He didn't really try anything new that hasn't been seen for the past year so I doubt his mindset/practice changed since the last time.

Face of a champion, he needs to get home to spend his money on skymall.

That's the spirit! Also, he gives Seed and Nestea a chance to win now for a change.
