How the hell Dimaga managed to beat Mvp 2-0? They don't look even close.

Well game 1 is really the only game you can take to much away from. That game it was decently close. If it was another map, it might've gone either way, but he had difficulty keeping his 4th alive due to map layout.
Game 2 obviously was terrible, guess he just doesn't have much experience with mech. Add ontop of that if you aren't going to be using swarm hosts that map is terrible against mech.
Game 3 was just a build order loss imo. Or well not to take anything away from MVP, he defended perfectly, but I feel dima couldn't really do anything much better than what he did.

Game 1: the game was close while Dimaga had a huge advantage getting away with a hive rush and a solid position.
Game 2: Newkirk isn't a good map at all for mech in TvZ. You can never reach his bases without exposing yourself to horrible flanks. Your mech army is always in a world of pain when marching beyond the middle.
Game 3 had nothing to do with a build order loss. Dimaga tried a gamble and Mvp defended, that's all.

Game 2 I'd argue is about as good as you get for mech(only akkilon better I'd say, again assuming opponent doesn't go SH). Call it good map or not, I don't particularly feel mech is strong, so yeah...
Game 3, well you can hardly deny that a reaper opening would've been much worse against the roach rush. Seeing the prevelance of reaper openings, what I was saying is that I think he was hoping for a reaper opening, else with good defense(and I think dima has enough respect for MVP to expect good defense), it can be held.

A Reaper opening would have been better actually, the Reaper can reliably scout gas mined beyond 100 + lack of second queen and even the Roach Warren if he comes from the right angle, then you get a Bunker and Marauders or a quick Tank and you hold without any trouble.

You do realize that the roaches were hitting basically when the factory finished... A reaper opening would make the factory atleast 45 seconds later and I'm hard pressed to see a rauder coming out early enough. He probably would've held, but the hellion runby would not have happened and more than 5 scvs would go down.

Edit: Hmm or maybe you are right, ugh assumed it was 13 gas expand, but rethinking it, it ofc must've been either 15 gas or 1rax cc

Dimaga arrived at Mvp's natural at 6'45. CC first builds the Factory at 4'25 - 4'30, exactly like Reaper expands.

If Stephano didn't party too hard yesterday he should win vs ForGG. He's in a bit of a disadvantage vs MVP but I still kinda like his chances. His normal level unit positioning and discission making is a lot better than Dimaga showed.
I Protoss winner, could it be?
