| MMA is really a multitasking god, he came back from a huge deficit vs mech through pure multitasking and wits, so unbelievable (40 supply down and behind a base!) |

One of the best TvTs ever. MMA has the best multitasking in the business. He was attacking everywhere, and even though Orb is a great observer, he missed at least 3 nukes and numerous more small attacks. MMA even killed his own CC with a nuke.
So well played by both players, congrats MMA! |

MMA is 3-0 in games where he destroyed his own CC. |

Unreal play out of both of those guys. But especially MMA.
It's kind of bittersweet though. MMA played so unbelievably well in this tournament, going 6-1 vs Protoss and beating MKP in an epic finals.
+ Show Spoiler +And yet he craps out of MLG and the GSL Up/Down matches.  |

His early game seems very very weak, notice how MMA tends to get behind in the early game vs everyone and somehow just wins in the lategame through waaaaay superior multitasking and tactics. |

MMA is 3-0 in games where he destroyed his own CC.
What was the second game again? I remember he was on the east side of Shattered Temple. Was it against DRG? |

| MKP prob should've just gone and kill MMA when he had the 40 or so supply lead. |

Well, you can't win them all. But good lord, MMA looked superhuman in this qualifier. Even some of the world's best Protosses (Creator, Squirtle) couldn't even stop him. I really enjoy his nuke play in particular, which he used to great effect in the finals and against Creator. He already has legendary multitasking, and incorporating nukes into his play allows him to leverage his superior multitask against his opponents. MKP is a damn good player, easily one of the world's finest, and you could tell he couldn't even keep up with all the nukes, drops, bio hitsquads, etc.
Well, that's enough gushing. I've got enough Slayers bias already before this series  Last edit: 2012-05-26 13:05:01 |

And it's almost always due to his own greed that puts him behind early (Still can't get over him dropping two mules when he scouted Keen going for cloak banshees. He never would have even needed to go to the Up/Downs). That greediness coupled with aggressive play makes him dangerous and led to two GSL's, but I wonder if he's better off playing safer in order to reach the late game where his multi-tasking can overwhelm the opponent.
Oh well. |
