You can never count out Mvp. He always shows mental superiority over his opponents. But he never met someone with an attitude of Life or Stephano in the Grand Finals, so it may be hard to pull off his mind games. In my opinion, if there is one player who can beat Mvp, it's Life. But at the same moment, Life is the biggest threat to himself. He may just try to over-mindgame Mvp and "commit a suicide" by trying to play too tricky.

Around this time last year, I was writing an article about Mvp that was defending him against arguments that he was boring, claims that he was going to get swept aside by KeSPA players, and against those who downplayed his success as piggybacking on the Terran wave. Basically, the point was to tell people that they should appreciate Mvp some more. Funny how things change.

Opening paragraph is just so typical Waxangel. Goes on to call people hipsters in the next paragraph no less.

Great writeup!

I don't understand why we even bother predicting matches Mvp is in. We all know that Life is better in every way than he is, but we also know that Mvp might very well just...win.

I have gotten about 4-5 hours of sleep during the week every day. I have to get up early this Sunday.

I could theoretically sleep long tonight... but I'll wake up to cheer for Mvp.

So chances are the finals will be bad and Mvp loses 4-0.

That's pure gold. Great writing Waxangel!

So, essentially, if Mvp wins this, and maybe another OSL (or GSL), than he technicly surpasses bonjwa status? That's just mind melting!

... ehem, Go Mvp!
