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.

I said the same thing yesterday :D He really is just waiting and defends what the guys throw at him. He does it really well but it's boring to watch imo
Hopefully this is no longer the Protoss style in HotS. Many more viewers would come.

Mvp 3-1
Taeja also going to beat life, Taeja can adapt very well and plays a very solid early/mid/late game compared to Life.
Taeja 3-1
I disagree about MVP vs. Rain. Sure, MVP is a beast and you should never count him out for sure. But Rain is just just looking so scary and he is all over the place. And I think his brilliant use of storm drops might catch MVP off guard a few times, unless MVP prepares for it. Rain just plays his own style of Protoss and I think that makes him hard to prepare for and to anticipate, even for a killer like MVP. In a way, I'd like to see a 5-time GSL champion... But then again, a 5-time GSL champion?!?! Should not happen!
As for TaeJa vs. Life, I think you're right. And I would LOVE to see a final between TaeJa and MVP --> Clash of the two best Terrans in the world right now! I know, I know, it's TvT, but if TaeJa can dethrone MVP, I think that would secure him a place in SC2 history with that victory being the culmination of an amazing win streak. And I'd like to see a Liquid GSL champion!
Liquid FIGHTING!
But never the less, this will be an amazing semi-final and a memorable final in any possible scenario!
Rain isn't a flashy player but his fundamentals are fun to watch for me. I'm just learning a lot as to how he uses his units to gain intel on the map. Just the patrolling units and where he places them. Pretty smart stuff.
