I'm in a strange situation, I want both of them to win, and neither of them to lose. Ugg this is is so weird.
Done with Team Liquid for a while. Don't expect to find me here.

Squirtle's PvT is not that good as demonstrated in his loss to aLive at IPL

Rooting for Mvp, but Blastoise would be a pleasant surprise as well. Basically either way I'll be happy.

He has to be the favorite at this point.

Losing to aLive doesn't mean that you're somehow "not that good" at a match-up, especially one that aLive is super dominant at while you're playing on the other side of the world from where you are used to playing. At that event he also beat Bomber, MKP, MMA and aLive in a Bo3 (in the finals).

Then this GSL he's beaten MMA, Maru, and Taeja (granted as far as MMA and Taeja are concerned, I think that is their weakest match-up, but at the level of play that those guys are at "weakest match-up" doesn't mean bad).

That being said I think Mvp is still the favorite just because he has more experience and will be able to deal with pressure better, but at the same time in a match-up like TvP crazy stuff can happen. While skill becomes more and more of a factor the later you go, the early game of TvP can often come down to build order.

I think Squirtle will take it but Mvp is so unpredictable, it'll be close either way.

Didn't you read the article by Demuslim and incontrol? Protoss becomes significantly easier to play the later the game goes.

Should be a quick series, but it will be close. Giving the edge to Squirtle.

Losing to aLive dosn't mean you have weak PvT... that's like saying losing to MVP means you're trash against terran as well... :l

I liquibetted against MVP the last two rounds, which were the only times I've ever liquibetted against him. I've learned my lesson.

Do you guys remember the first GSTL final when Squirtle first faced MVP on Terminus? That was the best match I can remember seeing up to that point and still one of the greatest I've seen to this point. At a time when 2 base colossus seemed to be the only thing any protoss was doing, Squirtle came out with this amazing hallucination/immortal/high templar usage and slowly picked apart MVP's amazing macro in a long epic match, beating the greatest Terran in the world (only to lose the ace match to the greatest zerg in the world, sadly).

That single matchup completely renewed my excitement in the Protoss race and made me a Squirtle fan to this day. I have hopes that this final will be able to match the innovation and beauty of that great GSTL match. Even with how much respect both of these players are given for their skill, I still consider them to be underrated. Please be the greatest final ever!!

(GSTL Feb. 2011 Final, Match 8 is the game I'm talking about by the way)
