nevermind that. We can read about it in the newspapers tomorrow. Its all about Mvp vs JD!

The fallacy here is that you assume that people would even report on that.

He applied once and Wax cast him down.

Actually what happened with writing, I got bored and played league instead of applying.

No one's better at preparation than Mvp. If anyone can come up with a new, ground breaking strategy for TvZ it's him. Can't wait to see what he's come up with.

When he's playing well, Nani can go pretty far.

Really annoying hearing all these people who watched the SK Naniwa series and thinking Dear crushed Taeja

? What is annoying...
Dear crushed TaeJa and SK won pretty convincingly

Out of curiosity did you watch the series? Because that most certainly did not happen.

First game was complete destruction. It was over in 12 minutes without a chance.
Second game - Frost - was a bad start for TaeJa with 5 barracks against Templar opening, yet he cought Dear pretty much offguard and actually could and should have won, yet he made big mistakes being offguard on his own, dying to storms / feedback
Third game - only really good game of the series. Taeja played well and won
Fourth game - once again, scouted immortal allin... got way too eager and wanted to push after it was held. Got dismanteled and raped after. His base-trady decision and killing the natural doesn't make the game less dominating from Dears point.

So yes, I would say it was pretty clear domination.

How was game 1 clear cut? Taeja did a early gg when he was probably ahead. Dear was down a base equal on supply and upgrades and didnt have any storm left. But yeah I guess that is clear cut without a chance. God people are fucking hyping up Dear worse than Innovation. They act like really close games and games where he probably got outplayed are clear cut and easy wins for him.

Also game 4 the only reason taejas pressure went so bad after the all in was he got feedbacked on one of the medivacs losing 10 army supply instantly. If that doesnt happen Dear is in a TON of trouble there. That game could have gone MUCH different if Taeja unloaded just a few pixels farther back. But again you are right totally one sided.

I am Terran myself thanks. Even without losing the full medivac to feedback, those would still be no-stim, no combat shield, not being healed marines that are about to unload. Photon overcharge was available so dropping the natural isn't really an option and the standing army of Dear was strong enough to obliterate the push anyways.

Also first game - yes I saw how ahead he was, maybe you should play a bit of Terran and especially TvP before making such a claim!

Yeah, game 1 was not an early GG.
Game 2 and 4 were close but Taeja failed to react properly where as Dear did. As a terran and Taeja fan it's hard to believe but dear was the better player.

How was game 1 not an early gg? Can you give me any reason why when they are equal in army supply and dear is out of storms it is still a lost position?
Game 2 he failed to react to ONE FUCKING STORM that was it. He outplayed him the entire game up to that point.
Game 3 Dear started out way ahead and when he went late game with Taeja got demolished.
Game 4 Taeja reads Dear perfectly then on the counter pressure accidentally loses a full medivac to feedback.
If he doesn't lose the medivac or doesn't get hit by that storm the series would be going to game 5. That is how close those games where. A couple pixels of a difference would have completely changed the games.

Give up.

still waiting for one of them to go full ack-ack mode. and naruto has a nasty way of arguing :/

Yeah he really does
