As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences.

What Artosis said about the game length feels right. Even though Bomber v. Violet was only three games and was very one sided, it seemed to last longer and have more action than a couple GSL matches.

I like vortix's chances here

Mvp plays for late game (like most K-Terrans nowadays), but his multi-tasking and harassment ability is pretty standard, and not nothing really special. Vortix has shown that unless you can really harass the shit out of him, he's 100% okay fighting Korean Terrans in brute force vs brute force late game scenarios.

One quirk is that Vortix uses weird mid game aggression from time to time, which is kind of a double edge sword here. Mvp has gotten wrecked in the past by lair big lair attacks when he tried to go for 3 base too greedily (esp with mech). Vortix has also gotten himself killed doing this ^^;

I really liked Mvp's old ability to do strong 2 base stuff, but I guess queen patch has raped that option for most Terrans


How is his multi-tasking pretty standard? Despite him being crippled, its still one of the best out there.


It's because a lot of players can't multitask at all. They just don't count.


That would mean Vortix is out, because it was pretty obvious against nova he couldn't multitask. At all.

But he's the best at BL pushing in the entire world.

That was a limiter blizzard imposed on MVP to stop him winning every event and making sc2 competitions a formality.

oh lord that ZvT whine again and again....

plz ban them all

Stephano said his ZvT is 50:50 and feels very balanced so stfu


So because Stephano says it, it must be true? DRG said the opposite, does it mean it must be true too?


Not necessarily, although Stephano readily admitted Zerg was OP versus Protoss when the 12-min roach max became popular. And as far as I know, DRG has never admitted Zerg being stronger in any match-up?

Regardless, there seems to be some discrepancy between foreign and korean Zergs in terms of win percentage in match-ups.


DRG said that zerg is the strongest race and I think that was even before the queen patch. After the patch he said that if he doesn't make mistakes, he basically doesn't lose to terran.

MVP, do it for justice.

Troll post Wax?

Vortix was sending his entire army to defend drops against Supernova....



Come on dude, watch his stream. He knows how to send small groups of units to defend drop harass...that does not mean he is a perfect player!

Which one is that, I had it muted (like most of the time 'til the game gets going and it's not only Artosis who can provide actually interesting information -.-).

WrathBringerReturns said: No no no. Sarcasm is detected in the voice. When this forum is riddled with stupidity, you think I can tell every post apart? Fair enough it was intended sarcastically, was it obvious? Of course not.

Well, maybe. But to my great disappointment and despair, SC2 is usually decided by things other than multitasking. :/
