When you say hottest Terran, it should be taken literally when talking about Polt. This guy is a handsome need gosu.

He does cut quite a sharp image, but his forehead is too large.

Though that could also be taken as a sign of his superior intelligence, I suppose.

Let's extend the transitivity even further! But jokes aside, MVP is truly the first sc2 bonjwa.

Puzzle beat rain though, so the winner between him and Creator will be the true master.

Yeah, where's the rain v Jaedong write up! =P

Just quickly write something like:
"Jaedong beat Genius, but rain keeps beating zergs despite terrible engagements. Rain 2-1."

For those who are becoming disenchanted with GomTV Zergs and their recent poor performance, I'd like to humbly suggest the Curious bandwagon.


Shh if everyone listens to you I can't be a Curious hipster anymore

IMO, Curious has quietly become the best ZvP player in the world for a while now. Everyone talks about how frightening Squirtle and Creator's PvZs are, and Curious smacked them down pretty convincingly. He knows how to enter the ZvP lategame unscathed, and when he gets there, he makes it look almost unwinnable for Protoss, with Spine and Spore crawlers, Infested Terran harass, and Nydus worms everywhere, along with your standard BL/Infestor/Corruptor deathball. Also crushed By.Sun 2-0 who in turn stomped Leenock 2-0. Strange and sad that he doesn't get more recognition.

When MVP wins, it's kind of just like "oh, MVP won, I guess he won again"

(note, I personally think that MVP is the best terran in the world still, so don't take this post as if I didn't think that)

But the reason why TaeJa's streak seems more "hot" is that he just won 2 premier tournaments as well as almost fully carried Liquid to a victory at IPL TAC, and when he wins he looks unbeatable. A lot of MVP's wins don't look as dominant because they're slower and more methodical, and he looks like he's in trouble a lot but then handles the situation perfectly.

its because most korean terrans are very agressive (mkp, taeja, forgg, supernova, mma). mvp is pretty much the only top korean terran i can think of who plays a turtlely defensive macro.... so when he wins, it looks like the opponent jus gg's out instead of getting crushed out.

edit: not saying mvp can't be agressive. in fact, he can... which i guess is just another reason why i think if it weren't for his wrists, he'd easily be the best sc2 terran of all time.

I would very much like to hear a cogent argument for not naming Mvp the best SC2 Terran of all time to be honest. Or best SC2 player of all time for that matter.

Yah but he's always bad in Code S

his TSL4 prelim games against Seed just a few days after he looked so much better

rawr, dunno, if WCS winenrs 8 is equivalent to Code S in terms of nerves, then yah, he's fucked

Nice thread as usual. But I think Roro is being under estimated... The KESPA players have shown some pretty good preparation for this event. I wouldn't be surprised if he plays extremely defensive and pushes through at least 1 game.

okay I said rain will win 2 - 0, probably some combination of all-in and jaedong mismanaging some pre-hive situation

Also, I now want to see Curious win more than ever just so PartinG can use an awesome ceremony against a KeSPA player.

I actually dont see why Squirtle losing to Roro should be more of an upset than Genius losing. :/ Oh well, we will see
