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

Mvp vs. Vortix Game 1:

Ohana, Mvp top left, Vortix bottom right

3:00- Mvp goes CC first, Vortix goes hatch first then pool.

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.


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


Creators play still hunting you? ;d

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!

Obviously not, but when you send your entire army to defend an 8-marine drop, you can say he either has stage-fright or has bad multitask

What's a patchzerg?


Zergs that used to be very unknown and basically never won anything before 1.4.2, but since 1.4.2 have suddenly been owning up tournaments and consistently been beating Koreans, hence "patch zerg"

Vortix loses a drone, Mvp was probably surprised that happened. Hope it does not mess with Mvp's mind.

evil spaniard vortix will tire out mvp by forcing him to play 50 minute games each time, even dragging out losses forever

vortix isn't very fast, and handles drops poorly

Kinda absurd that the best sc2 player of all time is not a clear favorite vs the best spanish zerg.
A timing is a build done by a player you like. An allin is a build done by one you dont. -sOda~

I'd bet that Tasteless knows his target audience better then you.
