Such narrow minded thinking. There has always been a lot of anti-Protoss whiners in this forum. 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. Cut the crap please... Stop using your opinion as a fact. Or maybe that was his opinion, and you telling him it was crap is you presenting your opinion as fact? Statistically (from big majority of polls on TL) PvP was found as one of the most boring match-up. A collection of opinions is no more a fact than a single opinion Really ? Entertainment is a subjective thing. 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. Assuming a random sample, it's statistically way more than enough. Though I wouldn't claim that TL polls are particularly random, necessarily. | ||

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. MC even has no teammates to practise with. But MC said a while ago that he practises a lot with Symbol. I'd imagine he can practice with LG_IM whenever he wants, or probably any player in general. I think him and MKP play a lot as well. | ||

After watching every game of his last season and knowing all th rumors and hype surrounding his opponents (and his injury), I actually feel like that mc's run is no greater. Also, he rolled his opponents too hard to call it a hard run ![]() | ||

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 This is how I feel... 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). But among a lot of protoss biased guys, you don't have the right to think PvP is a boring match-up. (I am NOT implying that every protoss fan is implied, but amongst those who give their opinions, that's what i feel...) | ||
