Slightly stronger, faster, and with an inherent genetic racial advantage, he is everything NesTea is and then some.


Sneaky sneaky!

Hoping for an MVP double win this weekend of course!

I like the dinosaur comparisons but MVP is a level above Nestea too. It's like in SSBB where Metaknight had his own tier, and for a while, Snake did too. Nestea has never looked like challenging MVP in any serious match.

The GSL Final, on paper, should be a pretty simple affair. TvT is MVP's best matchup, while MMA is decidedly average in comparison (58% winrate). Hopefully looking forward to two huge tournament victories from MVP to further cement his place as the world's best sc2 player. It's just gorgeous watching him play.

An awe-inspring write up as always but... it's a TvT finals. Again. With MVP in it. I'm sorry but you could march Artosis into my home and have him go on a hype spree and I still wouldn't care too much. MVP will murder MMA, hoist his well deserved and predictable trophy and I will watch the GSL finals curse take place again.

Bonjwas dominate for a year+. Only koreans can declare them. Flash is not considered one there, he is "God".


I agree that he might not be there yet, but I think in his case and his alone, it's possible he could get there soon. MVP is really, really dominant, and his play is truly something special. I really hate it when people throw the term around so lightly, but MVP is a case worth mentioning imo.

BTW, AWESOME article. Really enjoyed it in its entirety, these are becoming better every time.

Fortunately, StarCraft 2 isn’t to be the only game on show at Blizzcon. We’ve also received news that Blizzard has invited Brood War progamers to play a series of exhibition matches during the event. Here then, we might have an opportunity to introduce some new blood, to give someone a chance to reach the same prodigious heights as past invitees?

Brood War Exhibition Match Players: Bisu, Jaedong, Jangbi and Fantasy.


So is this completely confirmed or just speculation?

From the other thread:

Just an update, I already PM'd the OP so he'll update in a bit I hope.

Source: DES
Instead of a lengthy translation, I'll give you the one important part:
"Jaedong feels light-hearted and jovial about this trip because he doesn't have to play any scheduled games."

Scheduled games / broadcasted games / official games interchangeable, depending on how you read it, but the point is that he doesn't expect to play any matches there. So there you go people. In the words of Jaedong and according to DES, no scheduled matches for Jaedong (and probably the other three as well).

Full-time celebrity audience and fan meeting? =D


Eh, all this speculation just makes me want to watch all of Blizzcon. Anyways, great write-up. The MMA vs MVP storyline will be very interesting to follow indeed.

Still too early. Four titles is a great accomplishment, but when there's a GSL every month...

lol these preview articles are getting ridiculous. Hurricanes, earthquakes... now dinosaurs? rofl
Very creatively done. Loving it <3

Also, it was a good point the author made concerning "Occupy Blizzcon". Indeed, Blizzard regional invitationals need to be more flexible, and even though I come from SEA, it still seems unfair and reductionist to give the same number of available slots for Europe, NA, Korea and SEA and others. Hopefully there will be a larger tournament next year.

Anyway excited for Blizzcon and GSL finals (especially seeing NesTea oversees!).


Pretty sure none of that part was serious.

The preview on GOM says MVP 75% (18-6)and MMA 70% (17-7). That might count some old GSTL games or something.

Everyone knows MVP's the favorite, but quite a few are cheering MMA nonetheless. He's just not "on" all the time, similar to Bomber. Even then, he's arguably more consistent than Bomber and has definitely gotten farther. I can't help but feel if one player wants it more, it's MMA. He's got more to prove and the ST disaster to put behind him. I actually like MVP a lot more in the last several months, but MMA has my <3 and my cheers.

The write-up on MVP gave me chills.

Still think it's close to call either way, depends on SlayerS builds...
