On the one hand we have state, a North American who built some hype early on in his career but disappeared off the face of the planet only to reappear to go 2-4 in the WCS grand finals then we have fenix, a South American who built some hype early on in his career but disappeared off the face of the planet only to reappear to go 2-4 in the WCS grand finals.

I guess state?

What do you mean "now"? For the last year+ the question has been "is Fenix still with IM?" As far as I know, the answer is still "yes".

I think and hope Fenix wins this. Last time I saw him, he defeated Socke (although Socke was not really in his best shape at that point), so State should be not that much of a problem.

from what I've heard, fenix didnt prepare much for this, so I'm going to go ahead and bet on a State upset.

3-1 state ~

Fenix felt bad for State and probably decided to donate a full medivac per minute as an additional constraint.

It's my least favourite. Both sides are always funneled into the same things and there's been no variation since beta.

Toss have two options, either go templar into collosus or vise versa and at the pro level since release it's been bio 24/7 into ghosts into winning into the midgame or losing lategame (most of the time). T__T

Those games are so much better than those of yesterday. Yet, only half the viewers...

Anyway. Two good games. Very back and forth. Love Fenix build. Nice little touchs everywhere with the one reaper for scouting and the few widow mines into starport / classical bio.

Even Artosis said on SOTG that mech is actually viable now, it's just all the terrans who've shown off in the beta are all the terrans that love bio :p

MVP should maybe go mech, he loves mech <3

Awesome drop defense by state, Fenix just kept throwing 'dem units away.

That's because Fenix and State have been out of the spotlight ever since the BWC.

Artosis also said after the 1-1-1 horror era that TvP will evolve into mech play. The guy is just horrible at predicting stuff :[

Sometimes, I wonder why one would even try to bet his units on multipronged harass against a race that has supply-free stationary air and ground defense with built in detector and instant warp-ins everywhere in their base.
I guess in the end that is just a testimony on how bad gateway units are against bio with medivac in a straight up fight?

Well, in the past 2 games, State has been really focusing on anti-drop defense, setting up observers on the map's perimeter.

I feel like State didn't actually do that much damage with the early push. He lost a Zealot and Stalker for a few Marines and SCVs... had the Stalker escaped it would have been much better.

I tried one game during beta with a friend's account, TvP. When core arrived in my base to scout and start to make that much sound firing, I fled with my marines and put all my SCV as far as I could... until I realised how much shots it took to get just one kill...

thats actually a common complaint about the MSC

These games were a bit one sided once state got rolling though, always good to see a protoss qualify.
