Ro16 and Ro32 were best of 1 back then. true, but bo1 also means that it's easier to get knocked out by just one mistake. the bo3 is less punishing i feel since you can drop one map but come back ...and then he roflstomps the -supposed to be- best player in the world with 3:0. Arguing seems a bit silly.
drg derped hard today, most people agree there. against an in-form drg it might be different

Ro16 and Ro32 were best of 1 back then. Bo1 is not an easier format for the better player. However in the case of MVP specifically, he stated himself he much prefers the bo1 format, he obviously feels comfortable under the pressure and with his skill it'd definitely be scary to vs him in one.
probably since mvp lacks the stamina due his wrists? that's what i chalk it down to

Watch the match. If you scout a 4-gate with 2-gate robo and use your chrono correctly, it's fine. If you did not scout it and they get up the ramp and the immortal is not out yet., you're screwed. MC lost a pylon which meant his 1st immortal was even more delayed.

I absolutely did. MC micro'd his units and won against a 4gate, like I said. Squirtle made a best effort with the failed all-in to unpower everything, but it didn't matter.

If only Immortals had splash...
But that would be OP as hell

Yeah lol. Robo build only holds it if they never get vision up your ramp. Usually if they get 1 unit up to be able to warp in its gg. That hold was crazy.

I said start with pylon in base. As in, you have 2 warp-ins inside their base killing your production and probes already.

4 gate is out of style
1 gate builds beat it (alej's guide on our own strat forums). MC proves this quite often. The MU is not 4 gate anymore. Most people dislike it due to colo wars. I like the blink/immortal midgame though

OK, this is really something. You think that for a 4gate to work against a Robo build, there has to be an unscouted pylon INSIDE the main and 2 warp-ins, otherwise it's an auto-win for the Robo player? I said it doesn't matter any more, but this is hilarious.

Bah I was rooting for Byun so it wouldn't become a PvP.. T_T

PvP finals isn't something I look forward to, but cheering for MC nonetheless.

Just casually mentioning that HerO held not one, but two unscouted 4gates in one day while going two gate blink. With blink not even halfway done. So basically 2gate > 4gate. If you're HerO.

0 points in the liquidbet ... wauw just wauw. Grats to the winners, intrested in the Byun/Seed games will watch later.

No. I want the Colossus. Although if they buffed Gateway units, I may be more receptive to the Colossus being removed.

Man... this is disappointing, drg's zvp looks horrendous, he needs to learn from stephano. Gratz to MC,but i hope seed wins the finals.
