I have a good feeling for MVP after watching Rain vs Last.

But it depends if we see exploded wrist MVP or if we see game genie terran MVP

They all said the same thing about Parting... And then Squirtle. Yet somehow MVP just wins. He just... wins. That's what he does.

MVP will beat rain 3-1.

if Last can go 3-0 on rain before crumbling horribly (and last doesn't have half the macro skill MVP does) MVP will shit on him.

good feeling as in mvp doing all in and trying to kill rain in the first 10 mins? i dont see how anyone can beat rain in longer game.

If I were MVP I would all in every game. Today really showed that Rain is weak against it and why no abuse it? Really looking forward to tomorrow .

Seriously, the OSL games give more hope to Mvp fans than Rain fans.

1) Rain looked pretty vulnerable.
2) Mvp will be able to study these games extensively.
3) Rain has a busier schedule.

I'm willing to bet that Mvp studying Rain's OSL games will be more effective than Rain trying to learn from his own games.

TAEJA FIGHTING

Back in 2010, Flash was in a situation very similar to what Rain is in right now. At the time Flash had qualified for both the OSL and MSL finals, and he was due to face a zerg in both. His opponent was Effort in the OSL and Jaedong in the MSL. Flash rolling over Effort, who had only barely gotten out of the group stage, was a foregone conclusion, and everyone was more concerned with hyping up the Flash vs Jaedong rematch of their infamous power outage series. Effort, however, had different plans and pulled off one of the most shocking upsets in Brood War history by coming back from down 0-2 and sweeping the rest of the series to take the OSL. Flash's aura of invincibility, buoyed by his astounding 80%+ winrate in TvZ the previous 10 months, was shattered. If Effort who was clearly inferior to Jaedong in every way could reel off 3 games against Flash then Jaedong surely would do even better right? Actually, Flash 3-0'd Jaedong in arguably the most lopsided series in their personal rivalry.

Now, replace Flash with Rain, Effort with Last and Jaedong with MVP. Look a little familiar? The details are a bit different but the prevailing mood is the same. We might be seeing a little bit of deja vu tonight. Or then again we might not. I'm not making a prediction here, and in fact I'd actually prefer a TvX finals over a PvX finals. I'm just saying that contrary to popular belief progamers are humans not robots and transitive property doesn't work in SC2.

Effort did get pretty lucky in those games, though. As I recall, it was like build order win, Flash moves out at the exact wrong second and gets surrounded, build order win.

Rain might have less time to prepare, but as I said in the OSL thread -- he has an advantage MVP doesn't have.

Really hoping for a TvT finals. By far the best match-up these days.
