Taught me to deliberate on my Liquibets, I voted before VortiX went on his Korean killing spree.

I have to do them as fast as possible to get rid of that yellow icon. I've seen some netizens don't do their bets. How can they live with yellow icon?

I felt that this basetrade on polar night was anticlimactic, kinda like "oh huge armies okay mvp just wins cause tanks + turrents + pf at 4th". game 3 was actually sick imo

Idk it looked like that game when Taeja just died to that same attack on this map.. not sure who was he up against.

I think the counter attack was fine. It was sending the vikings that was questionable (especially since they ran into one of the banshees).

I can't either, good thing the yellow icon doesnt show up for BW liquibets for me, I'd just guess random shit anyway

And Mvp has agood psition in the middle, but MMA surrounds from two sides, forces an unsiege, and then runs in from two sides and crushes a big part of the army. However, Mvp still up 126 to 118, with better upgrades, and mech vs bio.
MMA 50 workers to 65 for Mvp, who is attacking MMA at the fourth and third. Mvp still does NOT have a fourth.

24
Mvp is about to finish +3 attack while MMA has just started +2+2.
Mvp does take the fourth as well, but has actually lost more resources than MMA. Mvp uses sensor towers to control the WHOLE area.
Mvp building a fusion core!

No clear attack opportunity for MMA, while Mvp attacks hard down the middle. MMA however goes for the base trade!
Full blown base trade going on. MMA tries to take down Mvp's fourth, but that was WELL defended with a PF and many tanks, and Mvp has killed his whole base.
MMA building several CCs trying to find a good fighting position for the rest of his bio vs Mvp's mech.

Mvp crushes through. THIS IS GAME! Mvp one up on MMA!

Game 2 is on now!
Habitation Station is the map it will take place on. On the top right, and in fiery, agressive red, is MMA! On the left hand side, dressed spotlessly in blue, is Mvp!

And interestingly enough, considering how MANY TvTs we've seen today, thi is the first with a mirrored opener. Rax first into 15 gas for both players. Both push the SCV witht he first marine, and then decide to build a reactor.

4:15
They both take the expansion, on location, and even place the same depots, in le border of the base.
And we have the first divergence! MMA goes second gas and a starport, seems to be looking for a banshee!

MMA actually cancels cloak as Mvp spots it. Mvp however pushes out with marines and hellions and will elevator to MMA's main! Potentially dangerous even though MMA has several hellions.
It is deflected with moderate losses. MMA actually goes for blue flame, while Mvp has no tanks yet. He just finishes two factories now. at 11. And MMA has finished the third in location!

12
Mvp floating the third to the side actually, just like MMA did. Both going for mech in this game, and MMA looks to be forward. Mvp getting blue flame, but his +1 attack is slower than MMA's.
Mvp trying to do damage with hellion drops, but he's shut down but vikings and hellions. MMA's better map control paying in spades, tho Mvp kills the SCV that built the fourth.

16
Mvp going into 2 starports, looking for a transition, but MMA goes into the a big push, kills some of Mvp's army. Mvp's army tried to dislodge MMA's but failed, and THAT'S GG folks.

1-1, we're looking at the final game.
Misread by Mvp this time.

Last game baby!
MMA or Mvp? Who keeps himself in WCS Europe this time? Only one will survive!
We're in Yeonsu!
MMA starts in the top and Mvp in the bottom Mvp opens reapers. MMA defends those with marines and counters with a marine hellion push that kills 12 workers!

Mvp goes back with a hellion runby that deals big damage, but a double banshee play by MMA kills the few workers left before they can build turrets.

MMA comes out on top! Scratches by barely. The king falls and must look to come back in the second WCS EU.

Final interview with MMA:
Redeye says that the mark of a true champion is getting through, also when you're not playing well.
MMA counters that he really wasn't sure he'd make it, and he actually went mech in the second game without planning it. It was "what his hands were doing". The winning move, in his opinion, was the one fight where Mvp moved outside of the 3rd, but before he thought he was behind actually.
Regarding going for it in the third game, he did what his fingers told him as well, he thought he would lose to hellbats, but he still got the banshees anyway, which won him the game.

Regarding whether he pressures himself, he says he does, and he actually trained a lot of TvZ, but he didn't use that against Vortix at all.

Betwenn now and the quarterfinal, he'll really prepare for his opponen and play better than today.

Well gentlemen, that's it for my LR. Thanks for reading and drop me some constructive criticism if you can. First LR ever for me! :D
