Wax, your article was confusing and not that entertaining (unusual). JYP advanced to the last round of the losers bracket, and Naniwa... lost. A lot.

So last laugh goes to... grubby! WTF is the top of your article about anyway?

I get the feeling that NesTea sometimes chooses how well he does at a tournament. The farther away from the finals he is the worse he does.

You see, NesTea doesn't actually lose, he just provides the illusion of his defeat to make other people think they have a shot. It would take the interest out of SC2.

It's like Wax has something against Mvp. You mostly write only negative thing about him when he doesnt' really do that bad recently -_-". Saying he is living off his reputation is ridiculuos. Considering Taeja the player people are hyping as the best player in the world atm could get knocked out early in TSL4 even in his prime then I think it's fine for Mvp to not win the tournament.

Exactly. People don't see the business side of eSports. Who the hell would sponsor it if it was just won by one guy again and again and again? It's just not fair.

That said NesTea will have to do better than obviously throwing a won game vs. Killer (in game 2) to make us think that he's mortal.

eh, I can live with Mvp going out in ro 4 or somethign :o

Waxangel curse trlololol

That said, Mvp is terrible when he's not playing in the GSL

Well, it seems wrong cuz MVP just crushed Grubby / Targa who destoyed Oz and Ace out of this tournament.

btw you forgot MVP won

MLG Anaheim
Blizzcon 2011
WCG 2011
MLG Providence 4th (where he went through the whole tournament from open bracket and recording 26-5 overall)

MVP is also the MVP in the players by players tournament

I don't want to be That Guy, but Grubby and Targa were doing well vP ... so unless Mvp suddenly race-switched to Protoss for this tournament, what does Mvp beating them have to do with anything?

Also MVP didn't really crush TargA, except game 3 after the barely failed all in.

Isn't it easier to just say MVP and NesTea are good players? Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Even this year, they have done more than most players will ever manage in their careers, when you think about it. I think this writeup is needlessly sensationalist, regarding both their ups and downs. Everyone can lose, it's actually very easy, but only few people can properly win.

And I seriously doubt LG would be worried about their sponsorship if they went out in a single tournament early, after winning GSL twice in a row.

I would not be at all surprised to see PiG turn some heads and possibly even make it out of the group.

JYP obviously erred but was still only had the intent of greeting nani. Unless that happened at a crucial moment like a battle I really doubt it changed the outcome, bad excuse nani.
