His play vs Stephano was really good, go watch the games if you haven't. He played better games than Yoda, Gumiho, Fantasy and lots of other Code S Terrans. Some people just like to randomly bash EU. EU is pretty good, despite all the smack it gets. | ||

I was really delighted by TLO's reaction after qualifying for the grand finals by beating Lucifron: "I still think Lucifron is the best foreigner and out of respect for him, I'll train as hard as I can to do a good run in Korea". With that, he is now my far my favourite player. It was also nice to see DIMAGA smiling all along the tournament; he seemed so happy to be here... Before facing MVP, he said: "I don't know what to do against him, but I hope the games will be fun to watch". I think it's a very good spirit, and I hope we'll continue to see him do well in tournaments from now on. | ||

Mvp too good. Time for Korean domination in WCS AM. And then finally the WCS Global Finals. | ||

There's no reason to prevent some of the best players of the world competing in the world finals just because they're Korean and we have to save some spots for the poor little Europeans/Americans. Last year's WCS were just a joke, with dudes like Levin, Insur, Mafia or State and no Life, Leenock, MVP... just because we had to make it "fair" spotwise. Do not mistake equality and equity. Equality is unfair: the truth is, Koreans are superior. Equity is giving everyone the same chance, and allowing the best to rise. That's what's happening right now. Great decision-making by Blizzard, and may those who rage about it use their brains for a minute to think outside their little European/American box and see the thing as a whole.

Also, after seeing Stephano pass forGG like a butter through the knife, I thought MVP would be an easy beating (and it kinda looked that way after game 1, as he made a LOT of unforced mistakes), but man, he is still so good in strategic thinking! | ||

I find it funny how people are calling blizzard bad, stupid, retarded for allowing Koreans to participate. If you didn't realize, foreigners in EU did very well in their WCS. Besides, if it was another "world finals" with only a handful of korean players and a bunch of foreigners who get stomped one sidedly, what's the damned point? I didn't watch those matches in the previous WCS finals that had foreigners in it, except for Sen, because I know anyone else would just get destroyed by the Koreans. Saying that sc2 is faltering is just a hallucination you yourself has due to rage at not seeing your national heroes win. The game is great, and I for one would not care if sc2 only remained in korea, but the skill level continued growing. | ||

However I am so happy to see Mvp somewhat back to his old dominating form and really happy we get to see him face off against the best of the world, hoping for a Mvp - Innovation grand final. Me too. My favorite moment of MVP was when "he showed us that Terran can still win" in the late half of 2012 when Terran wasn't doing so great (but MVP still owning it up). That really help me realize how great MVP is (not that I didn't realize that before, but it definitely help made him one of my favorite players now). It's great to see him winning WCS Europe. My main fear with MVP in HotS is that if he doesn't do as well, he won't be remembered as well. MVP was one of the only few players to consistently be relevant (and probably top 5 players) throughout all of WoL (and that's almost 3 years of SC2), and that kind of feat deserves recognition. I hope he continues his legacy and manages to reach top form again in HotS. | ||

We know this isn't how you wanted your ticket, but do your best at the Season 1 finals in Korea! (And I'm jk about Mvp, good for him, though being an Mvp fan for a while, you sort of expect this when he barely survives the group stages and plays nothing but Zergs in the elimination rounds when TvZ doesn't require you to play 10x better than your Zerg opponent. Also, this is WCs EU, not WCS Korea. Mvp needs to be back in perfect physical condition, then train to be back at the top. His mechanics are great if his body is up to it, and his BoX performance is like no other.) Haha you may be joking, but this half true. TLO played a great tournament, far better than I had ever expected and even managed to bounce back after a devastating loss. He may not feel a winner, but he can certainly take a lot of positives from this tournament. It will be cool to see him play next season. Btw wouldn't it be cool if every EU qualifier trained a bit with Mvp before heading off to Korea. The way he approaches Box is still top class. | ||

He plays to win, which is obviously really smart, but damn it's incredibly boring to watch. He makes his opponents seem like diamond players and the games keep on disappointing. Build order wins vs Sase and TLO only. I definately counted him out way to early, not even believing he would advance past ro32, im such a fool! Either way, impressive by him to take this tournament! I don't know how anyone could not appreciate watching MVP at this point. His decision making is always spot on, his positioning is second to none, his timings are razor sharp, his multi-game planning is leagues ahead of everyone else, and he has the most builds of any Terran in the world. He can no longer compete with the very best in the world on pure skill, but that only makes him a more compelling story. He's just a different breed of player. And if he somehow manages to take the season final, I'm ready to start calling him a bonjwa. And just to say it, I loved just about everything about the way WCS EU was handled. Didn't think ESL had it in them. | ||
