He was much like our current Rain, but in times where going macro as Protoss wasn't as viable. But we should never forget that great GSL run and his EPIC run at IPL4, the trial of stamina. He went through Open bracket which was countless matches, then groups, then he quickly lost to Nestea in Winners bracket, to drop down in losers bracket and fight the entire way back to the finals. To then win the first bo5 and the cruelty of the tournament made it so that he had to win yet another bo5 vs Alive... Who honestly could do that? | ||

He surely was during that IPL - GSL span (though he didn't won any of them, but that was near soO level of dominance + fail to get a title, just on a shorter period).

Mentioning "the" GSL 2012 season two finals game will always make people think about Mvp vs Squirtle, not just of Mvp. Because the two ended up playing one of the most insane game we've ever seen in Starcraft 2 (which is always mentioned in those top 10/20/30 games of all time). It was not just the performance of Mvp vs someone playing meh, or an unknown. It was the performance of a then declining Mvp, that everyone called out each round of this GSL, that managed to get to the finals with broken wrists, only to face one of the most incredible players at that time, who just went back from an IPL run many consider an insane feat (going all through the open bracket into the finals and even winning the first set, playing and winning so much games in such a short timespan). History is not always written by the winners. Do you remember who won IPL4? Everyone knows about Squirtle 2nd place at this event, but many people forgot it's been won by aLive... I also bet that in a few months (~8 I'd say), many people will remember about 2014's soO, but will have to check to remember against whom he lost... | ||

I was unable to find the correct fitting team for Squirtle and he made this decision - which I respect. Next time I am in KR we have already planned to meet up! Will try get something from him for TL! | ||
