ESFI did an interview with IM's Coach Kang and I found something interesting in there about Mvp.

" Why are only NesTea and Mvp exceptions to not having to live in the team house?

At the moment Mvp and Nestea are training in the team house. Nestea commutes to the team house and Mvp stays with us full time. Their sense of responsibility is very strong and they know how to take care of themselves. They set an example for other players and act as role models. "

So I find this pretty interesting personally, I thought Mvp usually stayed at home and came to the team house only rarely, his return to form might be connected to being full time at the IM house.

It's ridiculous how we're about to head into the Ro4 and people are still debating about Mvp's form. Usually, when a player enters the Ro4, it signifies that the player is on the hottest streak of his life.

Not Mvp... he can win a championship nonchalantly, and people will still be aware that he's not "in form"...

Nowadays, PartinG doesn't seem like too stiff of a challenge to Mvp. However, let's go back in time, back a few months during GSL Code S Season 2 2012...

Mvp is looking incredibly shaky. He didn't have solid, convincing macro wins vs. Naniwa... Mvp basically relied on timing attacks/early game shenanigans. Sure, Mvp sent a message: "You're not going to beat me in the GSL." Still, it seemed like Mvp was on the verge of getting knocked out. His health condition was getting progressively worse and fans even feared that he simply did not have the ability to play a macro game anymore due to his health.

PartinG was known as The Terran Killer, perhaps the best Protoss in the world at this time. His PvT was considered nigh-unbeatable, and only ONE player had a reasonable shot of taking him down consistently in TvP: MarineKing. PartinG's PvP seemed decent and his PvZ fluctuated from shaky to solid, but his PvT really shone through.

Well, we know what happened then. How about now?

Mvp is looking stronger than he has in all of 2012. His victories over Symbol were very convincing macro games. This time, he truly looked like he outplayed Symbol through and through. Even given Mvp's recent weak TvZ and Symbol's amazing ZvT, Mvp dismantled Symbol 3-1. It didn't really look all that close, either.

Rain is a beast. His PvP seems ridiculously strong (3-1 PartinG, 3-0 HerO), his PvZ isn't as tested but he claims that PvZ is his best matchup, and his PvT is amazing. Period. He has crushed through Terran opponents to get here and rolled over the largest Terran threat to him right now: TaeJa.
However, let's not forget how he lost to Happy...

People on the hype train say that Rain is unstoppable, that he's going to dominate this GSL and Rain is going to dominate Mvp.

Well, this GSL looks a lot better for Mvp than Season 2. Plus, it's Mvp - he'll plow through the best PvT in the world by a score of 3-1 again.

GSL Season 2
Mvp 3-1 Naniwa
Mvp 3-1 PartinG
Mvp 4-3 Squirtle

GSL Season 4
Mvp 3-1 Symbol
Mvp 3-1 Rain
Mvp 4-3 TaeJa/Life

Rain, I'm sure if he's overrated or not. Basically that's MVP's job to show it though. Like in season 2 all the hype was for naniwa(foreigner) parting("best pvt" idk who even started that), and squitle(new toss champ/royal roader).

MVP beat them all. But Rain has had some major success already. However if I had to compare him to someone, it would be to ForGG. He was named as the code S favorite then dropped from the highest level of play real fast.
I don't want to over analyze it but I think MVP has a pretty good shot at this GSL. But I really can't be sure whether it's greater or worse than his season 2 chance.
Either way go MVP!
