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.


5:00- Mvp throws down a double gas, fast factory after barracks. 2 gas for Vortix as well.

if all it took to tilt mvp was killing an enemy worker with his worker he wouldn't have won anything

Hopefully MVP won't get mindfucked when he kills vortix's third, as usual.

I doubt she's even realized she got a $1000 piece of equipment yet.

There was nothing sexist about the comment.

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

hahaha

I'll be happy whoever wins this match. If MVP wins, no more ZvZ and if VortiX wins, foreigners.

At what point is Tasteless going to stop casting like he is talking to people watching their first game? These are pro games at a pro tourney.



Never? His job is to cast the games for the masses, just like every commentator is suppose to do?

Why cast for the 1% who understand everything, they are so hardcore and addicted they will watch regardless, no money in casting for them.

Tasteless is doing great

The good side in Tasteless' hyping is that every player gets their turn to be the best player(or t/p/z) in the world.
