It has by far the most variety and more action around the map than any other matchup. Aside from drops/harass all the other matchups are focused around 1 big engagement. TvT is the only matchup where you can split up big sections of your armies and move around the map. This is due to the huge defenders advantage that exists in TvT compared to other matchups. | ||

As I recall, it was like build order win, Flash moves out at the exact wrong second and gets surrounded, build order win. not all build order wins are luck based. ask yourself, why did this guy choose this build, and why didn't the other guy respond. | ||

(which ofc is to be expected, considering that there are twice as many semifinal series than final series.  ) | ||

Mvp only went to IEM, and while he was in the spotlight there It's only one tournament vs 4 or 5. | ||

in general, i think that taeja's strength lies more in his super-solid standard play while mvp excels at preparing for a series. therefore, taeja is more suited for winning 1-3 day foreigner events that become a grindfest, while mvp is simply made for gsl/osl type of tournaments. | ||

It's not long ago TaeJa was considered 'the best player' by a lot, and MVP hasn't done much since that period. | ||
