And the world collectively groans.
I really hope people remember Squirtle's comeback rather than MVP's crap win.

Speak for yourself, it takes major bollocks to do what MVP did.
'Oh shit he just defended my fucking all in even though I executed everything perfectly, better risk everything and looking like a twat in front of my family and friends if I fuck up and go kill this motherfucker.'

My exact thought. Wouldn't call it a crap win thou, I just think that Squirtle is the real winner of this seasons GSL. His first Code S ever, and he his way to the final had a record of something like 14-1 in games.

MVP is better than squirtle though, so if squirtle won it would have been bullshit.

They're equally as good, but Squirtle showed better in the series, maybe not at the start, but Squirtle was making a comeback from just playing better and MVP didn't want to play another game like that.

Other than game 6, I didn't see where he outplayed MVP. The metropolis game mvp threw away completely even and game 7 squirtle showed that he had very little understand of how 2 rax works even though that should have been 50% of his practice.

He outplayed him by beating him in 3 macro games from being 3 games down, he had momentum on his side, a slightly protoss favoured map and knowing MVP wouldn't be in the state of mind for another drawn out game.
He did outplay him overall thought MVP did great in the first 3 sets.

he didn't outplay him in the metropolis game or the final game. Daybreak they played equally well so squirtle wins due to the map. It really shouldn't have been close. MVP just seemed like the clear better player seeing as he won macro tvp games for the first 3 sets and then threw away a sure win on metropolis.

MVP played well but this last game felt like spitting in a face of squirtle and all the fans. Im dont want to hate on MVP he did all he could to win. Its just sad to see those strats work on this level and in tournaments like this.

squirtle fucked up, he misrallied the stalker from that gateway into the marines, he didn't get his 2nd gateway up in time, he didn't pull probes out of gas, he didn't drop down a forge after he stabilized and instead lost his units while in the middle of the map

Don't worry bro, you're gonna get downvoted to hell, such as my comments/thread about how I'm not happy about MVP's play in game 7.

Frankly, you both deserve your downvotes. Your attitude is childish.

Agreed. It completely baffles me that kids get upset over stuff like that. That series, final match and all, was one of the best I've ever had the pleasure to watch. It's pathetic that someone could be so indignant to let such a beautiful match be remembered as "oh that scrub mvp cheesed in game 7".

I really hope at some point the SC2 scene matures enough to understand how strategy works instead of this dumbfuck "zomg i need a 40 minute game for it to be legitimate" crybaby mentality.
It really is disappointing to see these kinds of threads. Honestly I chock it up to OP being a baby who can't hold a proxy and crying whenever he sees anyone else lose to it as well. The thing is, Squirtle is a very good player and should have been able to hold. It was cheese, but it was scouted in time and both players know how to deal with this kind of play.
Squirtle lost for two reasons -- sloppy positioning with a lack of attention on his stalkers that attacked the rax, and being way too calm after he held the initial attack.
This game was good, and you have to appreciate the pair of balls for MVP to put it all on the line in this game this way, even if he had lost, but definitely for taking the win.
welp that's a terran for you! ;-)
