I seriously hope you are trolling.


link me to the games where MVP straight up outplays Life with mech

All the games he won.


http://www.gomtv.net/2012gsls4/vod/70653

Game 3+4: Life doesn't build roaches. Life loses economy to blue flame helions. MVP pushes with mech and ends game. Game 5 is the only game where MVP wins after NOT completely destroying Life's eco in the early game


you are crusading pretty hard for this, I have to wonder why.


Yeah it took me so long to open gomtv and find the GSL final link (10 seconds)


I'm talking more about the 10+ replies trying to convince everyone Mvp sucks even though no one seems to agree with you

Maybe if he tries hard enough he'll convert someone.

You'd be surprised then how many non commenting folk do agree with him. Secondly whether he is right or wrong, he's advancing his idea with arguments. So far I've seen him called a troll and that's about it.


thank you someone who doesnt' jump on the "omg he criticized MVP's play? he must be a troll" bandwagon.


I mean, criticize his play all you want but at the end of the day he's the only Terran player to even make a GSL finals this year so maybe the other Terran players should step it up and show us that they're better. This whole discussion of how he's not actually that good is pointless when you can't point to someone else and say they do it better than him.

He's kind of got a point though. Mech rarely seems to win TvZ games without doing a ton of Eco damage at some stage. I'd love examples, as perhaps I'm just atypical. To my recollection I have never seen a mech TvZ where the T won without roasting drones, or the Zerg screwing up in modern TvZ.

I'd love to check these games that disprove that. I currently think mech is outright bad in TvZ. It to me seems to rely too much on your opponent's mistakes. Would genuinely like to challenge my current views on mech


That's a bit like saying that bio doesn't seem to win without dropping in TvZ. Of course you are going to go for eco damage with mech, you are pumping out hellions, and going for drones with them is the best use until you build up your tanks. Your opponent doesn't need to "screw up", you can outplay or outsmart him just the same.

Dropping exemplifies you trying to make something happen and your opponent trying to deflect it. I feel suiciding hellions into drone lines is showing a blind hope to do damage rather than forcing it. Lucifrons mech is the coolest I've seen because he uses things like banshees purely to snipe rallied infestors if he can and other really cool subtleties.

Like I said, if someone has a vod of a mech player exploiting mistakes in more subtle ways and not say via a successful hellion run by I'd love to check it out. Lucifron vs Stephano is the kind of approach to mech I think has potential, even though he lost


You may want to try the abyssal city game in the GSL finals.

Leenock is the expected champion here, viOLet had a great run, but Leenock is simply better recently.

well sure, he's had a harder run, don't tell me Leenock isn't quite the favourite because of that

also check the polls in the OP

Not entirely wrong, just not always right. I've seen it work that way from time to time, but apparently not in this game.

I don't think the initial use of the ITs from Leenock to scare away 5 (or so) roaches was good. Most of Violet's forces were pulled back, waiting for the ITs to expire.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Lucifron has said a couple of times before that he didn't know how to play terran and that he only noticed this during Mvp's IEM run, then proceeding to mention how much he learnt during the tournament.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

I love these ridiculous "instant IT army!!!" comments. Yes, IT are strong but let's not overestimate them either. Sometimes (often) it feels like to few folks actually play the game and know the mechanics well enough and instead just repeat what they hear from the LR whiners or Twitch chat.
