Please, immediately dismiss the thought that this is going to be even remotely relevant to Team Prime. Ok, now that I've clarified that, here's what's up.

+ Show Spoiler +
Mvp only wins championships on his x#th final, given that x is a prime number, excluding 1.

Mvp won his second championship at his 2nd final. 2 is a prime number.
Mvp won his third championship at his 3rd final. 3 is a prime number.
Mvp lost his 4th final. 4 is not a prime number.
Mvp won his 4th championship at his 5th final. 5 is a prime number.
Mvp lost his 6th final. 6 is not a prime number.
Mvp will win his next final. 7 is a prime number.
Mvp will lose the next 3 finals, unfortunately. Then he will win 6 championships on his 11th final.



It only makes sense as Mvp started out his legacy by defeating MarineKingPRIME. MKP put a Prime curse on Mvp.
Let a man play chess, and tell him that every pawn is his friend. Let him think both bishops holy. Let him remember happy days in the shadows of his castles. Let him love his queen. Watch him lose them all.

Mvp is the key to the deep connection between prime numbers, of course. Nestea might have created the universe, but Mvp's got a few tricks up his sleeve too.

You know, you just gave conclusive proof that 1 should be considered a prime number! The exclusion of 1 right now is somewhat arbitrary, but as Mvp's first championship was his first finals, 1 must be a prime number!

Six tournaments as a sample size is virtually a non-factor. It sounds natural, but your divisive assertion leaves a lot of remainder for doubt.

We already know that there are infinite prime numbers. Finding them is the problem
Even more, there is the question, whether it is possible to define a prime number function. The OP suggests, that Mvp himself is this function.

This is really silly, you can't start out by excluding the number one. MVP had his first championship in his first finals. One is not a prime number, therefore your theory doesn't work.

The question is, was this a counter-curse from MarineKing? Will Mvp's prime curse be lifted when MarineKing rids himself of the Kong curse?

But neither do all of the current proposed theories to finding the solution the the prime number questions that have been puzzling mathematicians for centuries. Maybe it's time to take a fresh new approach, and Mvp has found a solution, by excluding the number 1 from the equation.

That will be what they'll be called after Mvp revolutionizes and redefines them. 100 years from now, kids in school will be studying Mvp numbers.

Corollary. MVP will win an infinite number of GSLs.

Proof. Suppose that GSL2, GSL3, GSL5, GSL7, ..., GSLr are all of the GSLs MVP will win. Let q = (2*3*5*7...*r)+1 and let p be a prime GSL number dividing q. Then GSLp cannot be any of GSL2, GSL3, GSL5, GSL7, ..., GSLr, as otherwise p would divide the difference q-(2*3*5*7...*r) = 1, which is impossible. Therefore, GSLp must be another GSL that MVP will win. Q.E.D.

..finding prime numbers is a problem resolved like 2100 years ago; a bit precise formulation is how to find them in a polynomial time, which is at this time unknown.

always wondered why people dont consider 1 a prime. It is divisible only by itself and 1 to make a whole number, doesn't that qualify it as a prime?

It depends on the definition of prime numbers.
For example, you can define them by how you did, which would make 1 a prime number.

But you can also define them by: a number is a prime number if and only if it is divisible by exactly 2 numbers.
Then 1 isn't a prime number, because it is (the only number that is ) only divisible by one number, by 1.


The reason why math uses the second definition and not the one you have given, is that there are a few theorems about prime numbers which only work for prime numbers =/= 1, as the unity number one has various special properties which other numbers don't have.

now: prove that MVP will win infinitely many gsl titles!


Corollary. MVP will win an infinite number of GSLs.

Proof. Suppose that GSL2, GSL3, GSL5, GSL7, ..., GSLr are all of the GSLs MVP will win. Let q = (2*3*5*7...*r)+1 and let p be a prime GSL number dividing q. Then GSLp cannot be any of GSL2, GSL3, GSL5, GSL7, ..., GSLr, as otherwise p would divide the difference q-(2*3*5*7...*r) = 1, which is impossible. Therefore, GSLp must be another GSL that MVP will win. Q.E.D.



Well, there we have it!
LOL btw :D thank you so much for this post

Can i include this in the OP?


Ha - sure. ^.^

That requires an additional assumption.


That there are infinitely many GSL numbers ~_~ i.e. that there are infinitely many GSLs.

So we can "weaken" the corollary as "If SC2 doesn't die, then MVP will win infinitely many GSL titles." ^^

What? You don't believe? How can you not believe in MVP?!
Just ahead of time, know your addiction's not a crime. It's just a smaller part of who you want to become in the end.

Mvp gives no fucks about the second law of thermodynamics

Being subject to the heat death of the universe is for Zergs, Mvp gonna win infinite GSLs

always wondered why people dont consider 1 a prime. It is divisible only by itself and 1 to make a whole number, doesn't that qualify it as a prime?


Thing about prime numbers is unique prime factorization. 1 screws this up big time.


Well, it's not a big deal, just exclude 1 from the theorem (many theorems only work with exclusions of finite amount of cases):
every integer greater than 1 is either prime itself or is the product of prime numbers (=/= 1)

Especially, as the OP clearly proves ( ) the theorem: Mvp wins every of his prime numbered GSL attempts and we also know that the sentence Mvp won his first GSL on his first try, we have a good reasons to consider 1 to be prime to unite those two statements into one: Mvp wins a GSL title, if and only if it is a prime numbered effort for him to do so.
