Mvp is a better mascot than Bisu, there I said it.

That was one of the best ZvP games of HotS. I like the direction of that matchup.
Symbol has a freakishly strong lategame too

squirtle is brokennnnn
i guess those infested terrans really suck without the upgrades
|
Props to Squirtle, but I think Symbol forgot that he's playing HOTS not WOL.... why no vipers....
|
This was actually by far the best GSTL day so far. Good games alot of players and no dumb allkills.

Perfect counters and army composition from Squirte. Those tempest were so effective against broodlords.

PvZ is one of those matchups that is constantly being figured out. Helps that the players were top tier, too.

Not building vipers ZvP in HotS is like not building Defilers ZvT in BW.

It seems the key to getting IM to win is for me to take their opponent on my LB.

Agreed. The GSTL lost much of its sheen after HotS came out due to so many allkills.

Squirtle on Mvp thumbs up: "you still owe me a GSL title"

Symbol was playing WoL all the way, no vipers, no swarm hosts, mass infestors (that got nerfed). The 3 tempests was all squirtle needed to roll his composition :D

Had a lot of fun with your links in the OP! Ended with being a HerO, pretty cool ahah!

Very entertaining game. I'd loved to see Symbol use Vipers for abduct and neural parasite on archons. Perfect counters by Squirtle, yeah!
