Standard LR rules apply: No balance whining, no KeSPA vs. GomTV inciting, no excessive derailing ESPECIALLY when games are on. This is not a thread for you to argue with other people. |

Also I feel life's right on the ball when he says MVP is not really good at actual game itself but he's so good at planning for a BO7. That is why I expect MVP to win the final :D I don't even really understand that, he crushed Symbol straight up in Ro8 without even using any mindgames afaik. Well MVP is not exceptional strong mechanically. He wins his games through strategy but even more through decision making. He does not have crazy micro and macro skills like fellow Terrans Taeja, Byun or Marineking, but he knows how to solve problems he's facing much better than anyone else. This will be definately an interesting finals. On one hand we have the incredible gifted Life with the best mechanics we have ever seen from a Zerg player (sry DRG, but this is it!) and on the other hand MVP with his great preparation and decision making. Could make up for a great finals but could be very one sided either way too. where do people get this "he's not exceptionally good at mechanics"? he was up 30 supply vs symbol without even an engagement in the quarterfinals in one of the games, and outmacroed one of the best zergs in the world heavily, you know, symbol who all killed like 3 teams in gstl. he never ever lost by being outmacroed... also i remember plenty of crazy micro feats from MVP and crazy multi pronged harassment. His mechanics are pretty damn strong. Yes, I think people just saw MKP having better micro and Bomber having better macro but did not consider that both these players sacrificed the other. Mvp was always able to balance the 2. He would sacrifice one or the other depending on the situation. mkp actually has excellent macro and micro, but dies on mentality haha ;p
yea exactly. MKP's macro is insanely good. I think to be a code S player as of now you need insane mechanics as a terran, so the gap between the macro abilities is much less than a year ago. Most of his losses come out of the opponents abusing the hell out of his arrogance- not scouting, not walling in, going the greediest builds possible blindly- and after 1-2 lost matches he always breaks mentally. Strictly in the aspect of mechanics I think he is close to MVP but with a much less of a winner's attitude.
I don't know about bomber though, he's good but haven't seen many games of him and he always lost those to players he shouldn't have (at least in my opinion), I remember his macro was crazy a year ago but now that's not enough that's for sure

This is actually not so bad for Rain. Now he doesn't have to prepare for 2 finals (and possibly losing both).

IM is more like the current Barcalona team where they just have an embarrassment of riches. And that their '2nd tier' players would be stars on almost any other team.

My main issue is it should clearly be Happy instead of Yoda!  Happy is better in team leagues, and has superior results, even if Yoda is the practice bonjwa.

I honestly thought Rain was going to win and go on to take GSL and OSL at the same time. But I'm really glad Mvp won! 5th GSL title, yeah?
And I'm a little sad TaeJa lost, but Life has just had plenty of momentum right now.

It's also pretty insane how much player retention IM have, they've had the same roster without losing any players for such a long time. I'm not sure if they're well paid or just really loyal/family-like - probably a bit of a combination of the both I guess.

I am going to agree to 3-0 for Rain over MVP. The production team running behind Rain will come up with as many match-up revolutionising strategies as is required to win every set in any single elimination round. Those people, whoever they are, put the S in RTS.
To Rain's other credit is that he is the cleanest player in the business. There are no unforced errors in his gameplay, and I guess I can attribute this straight away to the rigorous training regimens of the KESPA teams... and we thought we knew what korean training meant.
The big hurdle with the coming of KESPA to SC2 has been the (somewhat expected) revelation, that noone in the ESF establishment has a brain. MVP is actually the only plausible exception to that, but he isn't a convincing exception by comparison, nowhere near ingenious enough.
In closing, I conclude that the entire non-kespa starcraft establishment are slackers, no-brainers and inexperienced in their approach to RTS gaming. Rain 3-0. He is coming in with training and preparation on a whole another level than what the established SC2 scene is yet even able to comprehend.
Please refrain from arguing with me until the results are in.

I would agree with you until seed became a GSL champion, losira came close to two all-kills, and yongwha has already had two all-kills this season.
IM - the greatest ever? Yankees of SC2? Maybe in terms of Championships. However, we all know who the real Yankee is in SC2, the one that buys all "best" players. Funny thing is, all of IM's players are 'home-grown'. Even players like First 'transferred' over after retiring from BW. I know IM's coach gets a lot of flack in team leagues but that dude knows what he is doing. IM is more like the current Barcalona team where they just have an embarrassment of riches. And that their '2nd tier' players would be stars on almost any other team. It's also pretty insane how much player retention IM have, they've had the same roster without losing any players for such a long time. I'm not sure if they're well paid or just really loyal/family-like - probably a bit of a combination of the both I guess.
from IM coach after LG sponsorship.
What are the benefits to the players? *
First of all, we will now pay players every year. This is a little "gift" to all the players who stayed and played with IM. Especially, NesTea and MVP will receive top-tier salary. In addition to this, all traveling fees as well as basic fundamental fees will be covered.
