As a fan of both:

MC was indeed better today, no doubt. That said DRG's play was particularly poor. I was worried last week in his vs Naniwa, but he mentioned in the interview that the builds threw him off which is why it looked closer than I expected I thought.

But DRG hasn't looked good vP in a very recent number of games. Odd, but perhaps he's struggling with the MU more than he knows.

Either way, not taking it away from MC or Naniwa previously. DRG played poor, but he's still probably the best player in the world.


Maybe it is a practice partner match up problem. MVP has some protoss but comparing them to the ST protoss or MC they fall way behind. He can maybe hold all pushes from other protoss but MC is a different beast with his control. Even so though today was very lack luster play from DRG. So happy about MC making it to the finals.

PvP is often the most entertaining PvX matchup. I really enjoy the intense micro situations, although sometimes it really does snowball after a single volley vs a single mis-micro.

DRG v MC... on the paper this could be a great finals, but after seeing this series I'm relieved it's only a semi finals.

Anyone with a brain could see DRG wasn't playing 100%, still got capalised on by MC who looked very strong, but the games weren't even competitive. You think he's THAT much better than DRG, a player who has had absolutely rock solid ZvP and is probably the best player in the world?

DRG was off it.

Hey, playing against someone who is better can make your play look a little trash. all i'm saying is people are too quick to come to the assumption that something external was the reason (contributing factor).
Where in some instances (maybe this one, maybe not) there is no reason. The opponent was simply better.

Better today. Im a huge MC fan but if they played 100 series I bet the win rate would be close to 50/50 for them

yea better today ^^
hi. big fan.

Agreed. PvZ is boring boring boring at the moment. Not to mention overplayed.


So looking forward to these finals now. I'd love to fly out there myself to be honest. Not sure how I'd go about it though at such short notice or if I need tickets or anything. :-\

There are no winners without losers, sucks for DRG but that's how it goes. He just won two MLG's I'm sure he will survive.

When you see protoss overwhelming zerg in unit production you know something's wrong with warp ins


that's uh, quite a random statement to make.


I don't think so. I have had a problem with protoss warp ins since the beginning of sc2. As day 9 says it seems a bit odd that the most powerful tier-1 and 2 units can be produced the fastest AND at the nearest place from the fight.

I know this is a balance wine but i still think something's wrong with it. I'm ok to receive the punishment for it but I will will stay true to my belief


Try watching the game and getting some basic knowledge of what's happening in PvZ to understand why MC was so ahead and able to outproduce DRG?


Outproduce is a thing. but outproduce a Zerg and get your units spawning like 1 screen away from the battle is something I don't get balance-wise.....

DRG was off it.


But no one has analysed what he did wrong. It's just "He didn't play well" which is so vague. They should be pointing out the mistakes he made but the casters are not able to.


Game 1: suicided an army trying to trade with mc's, doesn't target colossi properly. +1 corruptors end up being a huge waste of money
Game 2: expands too slowly, donates roaches for free while MC takes no damage.
Game 3: doesn't macro well enough to hold mc's 2base timing

Happy now?

I'm glad I didn't heed my alarm and wake up at 5am to watch these matches. I would have been disappointed on both fronts, and a lot more tired!
Oh well. I'll definitely watch the finals cause it's the finals, and the games will probably be really good, it's kinda unfortunate it's PvP.

There has always been a lot of anti-Protoss whiners in this forum.


It's not just that, it's that there's always been a lot of PvP whine on the forums. Somewhat rightly so, there's really only like 2-3 things that can happen in PvP. Unless your name is Choya.

It's to do with the MU. As a viewer there is really only ever the one moment of excitement. PvP doesn't as easily have mini-battles like ZvZ and TvT. It most of the time just has the 1.


The match-up and maps have changed drastically. It had a bad reputation due to 4-gates but 4-gates isn't that prevalent anymore. And no, it definitely does not have just the 1-battle. You have not been watching enough PvPs. e.g. blink stalkers vs quick collossus. There's no way that blink stalkers can engage quick collossus directly so you'll see a lot of blink tactics.

Watch Genius vs Naniwa where Genius forces Naniwa to defend both his natural and his main. There was literally no downtime in that game. Naniwa had to split his army and Genius kept exploiting that by blinking at the right time and position.

A collection of opinions is no more a fact than a single opinion

And that collection of opinion is what determines is most entertaining. PvP is least entertaining because it entertains the least amount of people.
