Feels like MVP will win this GSL now with relatively unimpressive play from beginning to end. Disappointed in parting.

Better than someone winning who will probably never make it far again..

I happy for MVP, but kind of sad at the same time. Blizzard's balence thoughts on this gsl: "If the best SC2 player can win tvp, then anyone can! In fact, we're worried that terran might be too stong, and are considering removing their "level 3" upgrades." /rant

Dont wanna be rude or anything but I think that MVP is most likely the only deserving one to win the GSL from Ro8 players.

When I look at the other players in Ro8, it feels like it's just a metagame thingy (or balance, I know it's taboo talking about it..) going on and the other 7 players arent GSL Finals material at all (maybe Parting tho?)..there are better players than the Ro8 players that dropped down or didnt make it to Ro8, like MMA, Leenock, NesTea, Alive, MC, DRG ..etc.

edit:
hopefully MVP wins the goddamn final now.

MVP FIGHTING

To be honest they are balancing it at the highest levels of play, I'm sure they can see Protoss is in a very strong place right now.

Problem is that at this level it doesn't matter what the race balance is like, it's just about strategy and mindgames; like Mvp said he's punishing PartinG/NaNiwa for going for being too greedy, and that's the reason he's winning.

Proper macro games undoubtedly end with Protoss winning unless they're heavily crippled early on, so most of the TvPs will look like all-ins until Blizzard decides the match-up is not working out.

MVP will take the finals, though it will be a close series. Still, all hail to the king! Winners will win.

To be honest, before todays games I thought Blizzard was stupid and utterly wrong with their statement. After today´s games I have to say they are only partially wrong. Protoss was too greedy and Mvp showed us how to deal with it!

MVP's victory shows us that strategy and intelligence triumphs above all else. His wins were because he made the correct decisions while Parting made bad ones. Game one Parting screws up and randomly moves out before storm finishes. MVP read his build correctly and went for 5rax kill instead of 3rd cc. Game 2 Parting neglected to flank the 1/1/1. Game 4 he could have denied the drop by positioning his stalkers closer to the edge. Instead he was greedy and tried to kill the drop as it was coming in.

No matter how far MVP's physical condition deteriorates, he'll still have this strategic decision-making edge + he has lots of experience playing on the big stage and no nerve problems.

""Parting’s PvT has been so strong lately. His clutch defence in particular was impressive but you demolished him today.

Before today, Parting just defended against everything and got the composition he needed to win. Today, he went a bit overboard. I’ve been talking to him since ro8 and he said time and time again that he would make the finals as long as he got to ro4. Since then, I expected to win. Overconfidence can be anyone’s downfall.""

WHy are you SO SMART mvp?

hahaha MVP comes out and says he didn't even practice that much. dude is a total baller. even though his wrists hurt his mechanics and unit control, he is such a cerebral player that he still is arguably the best in the world.

Apparently MC is the best practice partner in the world, helped DRG beat Genius, helped STC beat DRG, and then helped MVP beat Parting.

Fuck yeah MVP.

And his parallel comment is really amazing. He's so nice, no matter what he's talking about.

I'm partially inclined to agree. Imagine the backlash if MVP somehow rolled Squirtle 4-0 or 4-1 in the finals and Blizzard decides to nerf something from Terran due to it. I think Blizzard has a bit more common sense than that and won't necessarily try to pander to any Toss players that QQ if this happens, but I've been wrong before...

Either way, it's interesting how MVP really didn't train hard in his matches vs. Parting. I figure he will at least watch the vods of aLive vs. Squirtle on IPL 4 finals or maybe even talk to aLive to figure out a way to beat Squirtle.
