MC 4-0 or 4-1.

Second best player this tournament was SanZenith. MC crushed him. July cannot beat MC. MC is far and away the best player currently.

I desperately want July to win, but if we can be honest, Protoss are very strong against Zerg right now and MC will take complete advantage of that.

I hold out hope, though, since July has a very unique style and has shown some good games against Protoss even though he hasn't beat MC yet.

I'd agree, MC. His gamestyle seems a lot more solid and P > T in dealing with blings, which seem to be his bread and butter.

Ell, everything is pointing towards a blowout victory for MC. To underestimate a golden mouse winner however is something you do at your own peril.

I think MC will take it 4-2 with July's wins being very close and awesome games. I don't think July will get rofl-stomped like others seem to believe.

He did and it didnt work vs July period.

No. Nada didnt know what he was doing. He played that match poorly.

Its not insulting to admit a player you admire played poorly. It doesnt take away from the player. EVERYONE plays bad at some point


yeah every1 is perfect with hindsight, we all know that.

July won the match and moved into the finals period, no matter what excuses you want to dream up.

if july is winning, IdrA will probably tweet " Thanks MC for making Zergs look good" same way he did when FD trashed Rainbow.

I don't mind the balance insinuations so much but it seems like he is always calling zergs who win bad/lucky/all-in to justify his points.

I do agree though that PvZ seems P favoured at the moment and i think imbalanced is not such a taboo word. It is just like BW prior the revolution where ZvP is auto win for the Z.

The game will change ( i know the ling baneling ultra style seems like it is working well for some people)

I believe there was already a GSL game between MC and July, and that was as 1 sided of a macro game as you'll ever see.

I think the first 2 GSLs have showed that you can't just name which race is the 'strongest' at that time and say they'll win. In 1 series it's all up to the players. But still MC is gonna take it, because as many have said already; MC is a boss.

Besides the fact mc plays protosss, I just truly think mc is a better player atm and therefore he will win this.

I loved IdrA's reasoning.

I'm going with MC but I wouldn't mind at all if July won.

I would be SHOCKED more than MVP going to Code-A sort of shocked that MC would lose this. July is just not good. He's not. He really really really is not good. He catches people off-guard sure, but it's going to be a one sided fight with MC compleltly outclassing July in Macro, Micro, Strategy and awareness. All parts of this game MC has an advantage over July.

Lol at Idra and TT1 calling Julyzerg bad. There is a reason July made the finals. He is immune to scrubs in ZvT and ZvP. Unlike our foreign heroes.


What are you talking about, IdrA only loses when his opponent does stupid builds
*runs*

Anyways, I think July is even a bigger underdog vs MC than Rain was, simply because of the current stance of PvZ. I don't know if protoss is truly overpowered in this matchup, but it really does seem like few zergs can overcome a toss who gets his deathball rolling recently. And MC just doesn't make mistakes, PvZ may not be his best matchup, but it's rocksolid. He will never lose to any cute stuff, I think if anything then he could lose to an extraordinary macro-zerg. But that's not July, at least not from the games I've seen from him.

Whiplash


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MC,hes 2-0 on julyzerg.and he plays in a style that can handle julyzerg's hyperaggressiveness. I anticipate it will go 3-1 for MC, and 90% that july 6 pools game 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lol WHOS GONNA WIN Whiplash you havent decided yet ?
There is a reason why i keep score, winning is everything, losing isn't.

I don't care who wins since they are my favorite players along with MKP. I think it will be best final thus far tho.

Good to see IdrA thinks July is terrible but is somehow in the GSL finals. I'm sure if it was his ass in the seat I'd be proclaiming himself best Zerg in the universe.

IdrA is nothing at all like combatEX. combatEX attempts to use insults to gain a mental advantage in his games. He spews bullshit from his mouth and is a bad player not because he talks shit but because he is so mechanically inferior to IdrA. IdrA speaks what he feels, he is not going out of his way to down talk julyzerg he is simply sticking to his principles. as he said "Zerg is a macro race and it is the only way to play it" obviously july enjoy cheesing from time to time so IdrA sees him as an inferior zerg player because he gets lucky with cheese. The game is imbalanced and he won with cheese, I think that upsets IdrA and myself because it portrays the image of balance to see a zerg in the finals when you really aren't looking at how he got there and who he beat.
