It's like saying that Tony Blair was elected with a landslide victory, therefore he is factually a really good Prime Minister. You can't measure what is factually entertaining, it is subjective. It doesn't even represent what is most entertaining - it simply represents that the selection of people who chose to took the poll (I didn't) were excited about a PvP matchup. TBH any matchup (except maybe ZvZ right now, due to the supposed "imbalances" of Zerg) would have a pretty high positive score on that poll. | ||

There are viable fast expand builds now, Phoenix builds, Blink, builds, Immortal builds. Its the only Protoss match up where the whole tech tree is viable at any given time. The finals will be just as good as the last few finals as long as all the games aren't turtle up to max Colossus battles. Or... People have seen it, they've watched it and understand it....And still find the matchup incredibly boring :S | ||

GSL is the biggest tournament and it matters a lot, but to say it it the only tournament that matters in the debate of who is the best SC2 player is Korean biased. Some people might simply do not want to live in Korea for extend periods and practice for GSL. The fact that you have to live in Korea in order to compete in GSL will ensure that GSL always will be dominated by Koreans. Thus will this logic ensure that Koreans by definition always will be dominating each race. With more and more Koreans flying out to tournaments all over the globe, with the amount of international tournaments and with smaller gap between foreign and Korean this point of view is becoming increasingly obsolete. I will also add that KESPA tournaments will also lessen the importance of GSL, because at the very least they will compete with GSL in prestige, popularity and probably prize money. | ||

In order to find the most entertaining match-up (a match-up which is liked by the most of the sc2 community) you need a high sample size. In this case, one opinion is almost worthless, however 50000 opinions is not. | ||

Forgot about the Group of Death, but I think Mvp's path was harder in his 3rd championship, except maybe the finals itself (but we are talking about the path to the finals here). I'm saying this even as a huge MC fan. | ||

True, very, very true, I think the format has something to do with it also. Having time to prepare for the matches leads to better games.

Game 3: doesn't macro well enough to hold mc's 2base timing Happy now? Game 1: Agreed. He really fucked up with the corruptors Game 2: He may have expanded slowly, but there is merit to MC's defense. He barely lost any units, I think he lost 2 units while defending, 2 fucking units. Game 3: He was macroing fine, and he defended the main correctly, the mistake was actually letting MC rape the undefended third. The WP play was actually done, MC just seemed to casually notice that the 3rd wasn't defended at all and decided to end the game. | ||

I think mirror matches tend to be a bit boring in a long series (i.e., a BO7 finals) and PvP is the worst of the three (though personally I have enjoyed it from time to time). | ||

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. MC even has no teammates to practise with. But MC said a while ago that he practises a lot with Symbol. | ||
