T_T i hate that gom did this. I will never understand the hype for mvp vs squirtle game 5 | ||

i'm really glad for this list though, i remember watching most of the series when they aired live, the jjakji-leenock was so intense in every game down to the very last second of belshir winter, where jjakji was using buildings to find burrowed banelings. watching the MVP vs squirtle series now haha, friggin' BCs in the vortex | ||

When talking about this final, a lot of us point to the fifth game game as the pinnacle of the series, but I disagree. Game seven was the best game we've seen in StarCraft 2. It may have been just twelve minutes long and ended by a cheese rush, but not even the longest and most action-packed macro game could compare to the excitement and emotion in that game. Agreed, which is why the "Best Games of 2012" article baffled me so much when it wasn't even included in the top 40 (baffles me even more now, since you were a contributing writer  ).Loved the article though. Game 7 of the #1 and #2 (along with game 5 of Nestea vs sC) were some of the most emotional moments of my life. Mvp vs Squirtle could have had the added context about the general balance of the time, with most people thinking Protoss was very favored against Terran, as well as the fact that Mvp's TvP was thought to be by far his worst. Also, game 1 of MMA vs DRG was sick, especially the ending. Surprised that didn't get a mention. | ||

I remember how I felt my spirit sink as I saw Mvp's first part of the all-in get pushed back, and then I remember pure elation when he managed to dupe Squirtle and kill the Zealot and Stalker, then the explosion of joy when the GG came, and a big smile spread across Mvp's face. It was beautiful, SC2 is truly a great game for being able to kindle such strong emotions in us. Unfortunately I haven't felt that happy about a final since then, I really miss that feeling, and Mvp's magic. Edit: Well, I did forget Mvp vs Stephano, yeah Mvp has that magic. | ||

EDIT: And the only game MVP won in his GSL finals set was the one where he decided to go for a 1-base strat. He couldn't beat MMA straight up and he knew it. | ||

Are you claiming that DRG's either: A) lack of APM/awareness while managing the game-deciding attack and macroing for it or B) decision to not spare resources to save his last remaining base for sending every last bit of his army for a chance at crippling a Terran's production line is a comparable blunder to Squirtle's decision to send his army out of his base when MVP's only chance to win the game was with a followup all-in? Is this really the argument you want to go with? I would argue that the average Gold-level player recognizes that a failed cheese can only be followed up by an all-in or an incredible gambit (double-expanding/teching to DT-etc.), and that the best course of action is to play safely, get scouting out immediately, and basically everything not what Squirtle chose. Squirtle's brain-fart was on the level of Fred Brown's pass to James Worthy in '82. It was that big of a mental collapse. | ||

He couldn't beat MMA straight up and he knew it. Please, Mvp had another $50,000 final the next day, he had to focus on two at once. I wish they wouldn't have organized it that way, would have made a much better series if there was at least a week or two between the GSL finals and the Blizzcon finals. MMA got off easy | ||
