It's crazy how he can go out so early in a tournament like this. Losing to NesTea is fairly understandable since it's a team-kill situation, but man...

You can't win them all.

Yeah, and he clearly doesn't enjoy travelling too much, so it's understandable. Just such a shame. :p

there's no way I can say that with a straight face considering he just had a really disappointing result in the chinese tournament, losing to Nestea who is in Code B then losing to Alive in the first round of the lower bracket and being the first player knocked out.

Where can I see the results. Whoa Big shock :O But let's consider his injury. :D

this is the tournament: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/World_e-Sports_Masters_2012

to be fair it does have some pretty tough competition but losing to Nestea is an upset and losing to Alive is disappointing.

1-2's so not totally one sided but still, disappointing result for someone who just took 2nd in GSL losing 3-4.

Yeah well, you can't win every game so it's to be expected he loses sometimes. Now, GSL just ended and i guess he took some sort of break. While Nestea and Alive had lots of time to practice, he probably was resting. I don't think MVP cares a lot about anything outside the GSL.

I think it's not a bad thing that Mvp lost this tournament. Remember, Mvp likes to rest between his big wins and the majority of his big wins come from GSL seasons.

That just means that he's resting until he can win the next GSL season!

Seeing Rain beat down DongRaeGu in the OSL Finals just makes Mvp's win over Rain that much more impressive. It's almost like the story of Jaedong: Jaedong is so good and he would have won a lot more, but he got stopped by Flash, putting a damper on his record...

Mvp is the damper on Rain's record.

Mvp could have even been the one to prevent Rain from taking both OSL and GSL, considering how good Rain's PvZ looks.

I know that :x I was implying that if Mvp hadn't put a stop to Rain he might have beat Life pretty handily like he beat DRG. x3

For some good news to counter the disappointing result in China, Mvp has now earned over 330,000$ after the OSL prize money was added to sc2 earnings!

MC is still a decent amount ahead, third place prize money for OSL was quite a bit.

Mvp, Creator, DRG in the same group. This is obviously the group of death

Well, any group with Mvp is either a group of death or a stomping ground.

My gut tells me that Mvp will advance from this group, first by crushing Bbyong, losing to Creator/DongRaeGu, and beating the final opponent.

Too bad the semi and finals are gonna taking place in the US. It's harder for Mvp to win the G5L trophy this season

Well It's more efficient, he can win IPL5 and GSL 5 in the same weekend without travel. :D

That would be so sweet. O:

Let's focus on his Ro32 group first (titled the Group of Death) before we think about semifinals. After all, Mvp seems to always drop out early in the season after he goes far. He calls it his "rest season".
