Well, if bl+infestor life win else mvp win end more simple, isnt it? | ||

Stephano does very poorly vs people who have prepared extensively for him and does well in ladder-style tournaments like MLG. In the GSL you will have an entire team of people dedicated to figuring out how to abuse your style (which stephano is rooted in 100%, he is a stylist player) and how to counter it most effectively. Honestly I would not expect stephano to do well at all in the GSL, he`s simply not the kind of player who will excel in those circumstances. That being said, if all zergs would plan out their attacks like stephano does then i doubt we`d ever see a less than 90% zerg win rate in tournaments. | ||

The GSL bias is kinda ridiculous sometimes. | ||

So you should not only be an idiot, you should be proud of it as well? x) MVP obviously took a big risk when he walked out with 5 Thors solo, he knew Life had zerglings on the map. Life sees them and get 5 thors for free. GG | ||

Everyone said Mvp's big advantage was set preparation and ability to use many different builds and styles, but all we saw today was mech, granted with significant differences in opener Clearly he did this for a reason, and Life responded (eventually) | ||

It was amazing, for those who really sat through the entire season this was probably top 3 GSL finals ever AND combined with the story lines of the whole season this finals was even more amazing! Truly worth the watch. Also the montage at the end was sooo sick! | ||

What amazes me is that in all 7 games, Life's playstyle was COMPLETELY countered and he still won. I do have to wonder, other than 100% countering a player's style that he never deviates from, stopping his cheese every time he does it, and not making the smallest of overextensions, what else could Mvp have done better in this series? Make vikings when he saw the spire late? Doesn't really work, Zerg can mass Corrupter/Brood Lord WAAYYYYY faster than Terran can possibly get up 2 Starports and get Vikings out. I'd also like to note that in the games where Mvp continued tank production while Brood Lords were being made, Ultralisks were the unit being produced after the initial push every single time. He's damned if he does, and damned if he doesn't. I want to know what Blizzard believes is the correct way, as a Terran, to play against a Zerg who tech switches at will, after having your build completely countered from start to finish. They were not necessarily new builds, but Mvp showcased really cool transitions that changed them from all-innish builds into solid macro ones. A BFH opening doesn't counter zergling openings. Life slowly downloaded Mvp's hellion movement patterns after Game 4. On Ohana Mvp couldn't do a thing and constantly lost them. | ||

So basically, he wasn't able to scout properly and prepare the necessary units in time, but should still be able to defend? | ||
