Prolly gonna be 4-0 for MC imho, maybe 4-1
When you came along so righteous with a new national hate, so convincing is the ardor of war and of men, it's harder to breathe than to believe you're a friend. The wars at home, the wars abroad, all soaked in blood and lies and fraud.

idra can complain and play his macro style for 10 years because "that is how zerg should be played".
..meanwhile in GSL: fruitdealer wins gsl, nestea wins gsl, july is in the finals

ps. July wins 2 maps, MC takes the title

July vs NaDa showed that July's tactic was simply super effective against standard playing style. There was nothing wrong with him playing that way, because it worked.
It is not a logical conclusion to say that he cannot play differently only because he sticked to that playstyle - there was no reason to play differently, because his way of playing worked!
When they were introduced, he made a witticism, hoping to be liked. She laughed extremely hard, hoping to be liked. Then each drove home alone, staring straight ahead, with the very same twist to their faces.

I don't quite see how Idra is in a position to call the God of war bad...
Whatever floats his boat i guess. MC will most likely crush july.

I'm still convinced that a player like July has an edge over a player like MC. Call me irrational, but July has already proven hundreds of people wrong time and time again, and while it may not be as apparent just by watching the games, he's just legendary and one of the best RTS players of all time and has just reached finals of the biggest SC2 tournament. I don't care how sloppy his game LOOKS, it's no accident or coincidence that he was the one who managed to reach the finals while playing sloppy, while some of the so-called best players in the world dropped to Code A.

Somehow I doubt a player of his calibre will let this chance slip. He will silence the non-believers once again.

MC is obiously the favorite for this game, but July has more experience. I think it can go both way; MC can roflestomp him 4-0 , but if July manages to take a few games off MC , MC can start to choke and July might take the finals.
So in my opinion ( not a pro :p ) , it's going to be either 4-0 for MC or 4-3 for July.

I think the same will happen , but i have more doubt then ever , because you can't win by just being one of the best at RTS games of all time when the game isn't as balanced as it could be right now .

MC because he is Protoss.

Yes... yes he did. I don't think you've been watching the same July as everyone else.

I would be willing to make a wager to anyone that if july does beat MC and he does it throughnon "Idra's I will make drone all game long Ah! imba world imba world", Idra will still bash July for being bad.

Really interesting comments (Idra's is hilarious per usual). Thanks Diamond for taking the initiative and doing a great post like this!

MC will win, because he is better

But if July does win, perhaps the notion that you make 4 Zerglings in the first 12 minute of the match and otherwise drone your ass off, will be looked at more critically and the meta game might change.

It takes greatness to change Starcraft like that, no reason as to why July cant do it, Moon showed some new ideas and ways to play other than the standard, boring, drone drone and more drone.

These predictions always give me a good laugh as there's always a lot of comment for the fotm... Yes, MC is protoss, and protoss is the 'OP' race right now, if we read anything anyone has to say about the game. But it was exactly the same for the first 2 seasons, where it was Zerg vs Terran, and everyone saying the terran would win, terran's OP, etc...

Anyway, I think MC will win, because he's a real badass. An overall really good player, awesome macro, great micro, sick timing, unbelievable unit control, extremely good game sense, and isn't afraid of using both cheese and standard play.

He will win, but not because he plays protoss, but because IMO he's the best at it at the moment.

I say 4-2 MC.

Magic is "just" magic until I get my hands on the source code.

Everyone who asks what you have to do to be good to IdrA...he probably doesn't like July due to his super aggro playstyle. Not to mention, he loves to be hated, so typing a barely coherent sentence and getting a ton of flak for it makes him smile.

I want it to be July 4-3 but I doubt MC is beatable in a BO7 at the moment.
