Fanboys hating on Mvp because he cheesed.

He has CTS, he's one of the most macro-style players in the game, but if he were to play long macro games there's no way his wrists would survive it. Even after the Ro16 against Leenock he said that his wrists were completely numb after the matches.

Either way, I don't mind, Mvp is my favourite player even when cheesing Bo5s or losing because of wrist pains and low practice time.

GOGO MVP


Personally i don't hate MVP, but games like that are why i don't pay for GSL anymore. If i was naniwa MVP would have worst problems than CTS after i waited for him in the parking lot...lol

Mvp is the better player, why are people even disputing it xD...

NaNiwa's record prior to this GSL run was absolutely awful, even with this GSL run he's still only won 40% of his games.

Wow the MVP hate is strong in here.

He was obviously playing to win, if you knew Naniwa has an advantage after 15 min mark why would you deliberately play a game over that length?
Combined with the pain from CTS I think he made a sensible decision. His job isnt to play long macro games for the audiance, its to win tournaments.

i don't understand why you people bash MvP for the things he did..
okay so he cheesed but then again Naniwa cudn't counter any of those? why?
once or twice? he knew the rush was coming and still failed to def....
MVP might not have shown a good game but same goes to Naniwa for failing to defend rushes he KNEW were coming
it's not a good game from both sides when all things are said and done

Couldn't have said it better myself. MVP just lost my respect. He should have faced Naniwa like a man.


spanjoar - Sweden
Substah - Sweden

...

Let me put it this way. If Naniwa was Terran, had bad wrists, couldn't practice much etc. and MVP was Protoss and the games were exactly the same, I guarantee you wouldn't be saying this. You would most likely be praising Naniwa for smart build choices considering the circumstances.

In addition, you're also making it sound like MVP has to prove something to everyone. Guess what: he doesn't. He's a multiple-time GSL champion as well as being the second highest money winner in SC2.

By the way, you're just presenting another opportunity for people to typify Naniwa's fanbase...



May I say that I strongly disagree with that statement:

I would not be proud if nani won by cheesing 4 times in a row, maybe a little less intoxicated by rage than I am right now, but still I would not respect that win.
Cheesing all the games in a Bo5 is just saying : I have no chance against you so i'll just backstab you during your sleep. It wins war but it feels dirty and simply brings dishonor on the victory.

This, once again, is not the starcraft we want to see nor is it the one that I can respect.

And people talking about the money are freaking killing me, don't let the money bring all the things we hate about the other sport industries ...

My 2cents



It was never my intention incite hate by mentioning his relative winnings in SC2, it was just an indicator to his success.

I'm personally not bashing anyone and i'm not angry, maybe i would be if i had payed to see good games and got to see that, it's like paying $250 for concert tickets and the band leaving the stage after 2 songs...lol

I hate terran overall, it's the only race that can make tier 1 units and an engineering bay and win 30 minute games with just that....lol

I don't get you people hating MVP for what he has done. He was playing maps and the player, what's wrong with it? He prepared cheeses which catch Nani off guard. You really think it's easy task ? I bet he need to practice much more to prepare perfect cheese - 'cause one to make ideal cheese can't be late for even one second and needs to put his building so that it would be harder to scout. I think this types of games are exactly what make GSL so good. Playing normal straight game is simple task, but playing perfect cheese in Round of 8 in one of the biggest tournament and execute it in such a way that you won requires much more nerves and much more preparation. I personally admire MVP that he has done what he has done and win with it Best of 5 against one of the best player in the world.

Rofl why you all hatin on MVP because he punished a greedy protoss? Mvp has shown us some of the greatest games through his career and he also showed us that he manage sick macrogames as well as cheesy earlygames. Please stop crying cause its really pathetic.

i understand where you're coming from but you should also realize it would be two VERY intense songs especially considering the amount of micro in those cheeses.

oh and you do realize wen tier 1 units with full upgrades on both sides toss vs terran, it would be more advantageous for toss at 30 mins? rofl it's only up until around the 10 min mark where tier 1 unit for terran is really strong

First of all, Mvp did not cheese 4 times, he cheesed twice.
A strong tank/marine build on the first game that eventually countered the Colo 2 base push that Nani was trying to do gave him the first game in the midstage of the game.
Game 2 and Game 4 are cheeses, ok. Game 3 was a very fast CC into a composition in the style of 1-1-1 with 4 rax after the first banshee, I don't even know how people can call that a cheese.

But the most important thing is that because Naniwa is cutting so much corner in the early game, he is weak against pushes but very strong in the late game. I don't see the point of letting him unpunished to get crushed afterwards whereas you just need to break him before this point. Naniwa scouted both cheeses and he still didn't manage to defend it. If there is a problem, it's in Naniwa's build, not in Mvp's mind .

a theft is a theft
a criminal is a criminal
cheese is a cheese. (sigh) .. disappointments always come from high expectations.
YES, Mvp, technically did nothing wrong.
But, for petes sake! I thought we all agree GSL is the most prestigious sc2 tourney.
Well, I doubt that.
At the end of the day, our goal is for the money, and money alone. (not the pride, glorious and straight-up battle BS)
