Yeah. But there can only be one MVP award. They have to make a choice anyway.

Meh people really overstate this "tired" thing. These kids train/play 10hours straight every single day, not to mention do best of 3-7s in regular gsl... and I'm supposed to believe they are super tired and cant play well after 2-3 games? Not to mention he got a nice 30minute break to chill out cause of the drama thing. Sure its a bit stressful to play a few diff people in a row on tv, but ppl like mvp and mc should be more than used to stress by now and I doubt that effects them much. Theyre more than used to playing a dozen ppl in a row laddering/practicing, the only difference is the tv which they are used to by now. So really I think the whole tired thing is overstated a bit.

MMA was player of the tournament easy: He had to face the two guys who have won the past three GSL's in the ACE MATCH. It was all on him and he did it.
Also add in that he was the main reason why they beat Startale by taking down July, Squirtle and Curious and almost crushing Bomber in that amazing game.
He was also the only person in the first GSTL to win for his team. He almost reverse killed ZeNex, but he got sniped by Nuke at the end.

I believe you are wrong. You believe MMA is on equal skill level as MC and MVP? I respect your opinion, especially because it's full speculation from both sides. =D Maybe he is not as good MVP and MC, but using the words ''far worst'' is kind of silly. MMA's multitasking is his only weakness.
Yes, "far worst" was a bit too much from me. I said all that but i don't mean to take anything from MMA, it was insane games, he played wonderfully and the emperor deserves to get all the glory he can get because he is just too much of a hero. =D

Im in awe he basically kept up constant pressure/poking/contain on mvps bases lined with siege tanks and never made an error, his movements and control and patience were just amazing. Sicko. Im impressed by that as well. I guess it's really easy, especially against MVP to fall for the "OK I'm ahead, better kill him fast" -push He played the last 10 minutes so safely, tried not to commit, keep MVP from mining and eventually starve him out. Great play
thats what happened to ryung, he outplayed mvp and thought that his massive tank count could just walk through into mvp's base and he didnt scout the strange thing that MVP doesnt have much ground forces. and suddenly battlecruisers post patch comes out and wrecks the shit out of his army and he has no vikings

it was epic, but still i'm sad, i'm always when mvp loses
|
that decision by MMA to attack mvp's 3rd instead of defending his nat was the best ive seen.
|
MMA & Alicia so amazing!!
Oh Boxer <3
|
Slayers goes from a joke to the cream of the crop. Well played Boxer & friends, well played.

Guys, anything I should add to the OP?

Due to his efforts in this tournament, MMA is now tied for third in ELO. Tied with Nestea and only behind the two guys he beat in the ace matches - MVP and MC.
I hope we can see him and MVP meet up in the Code A finals.

wow, suprising, yet amazing results
|
That was the best thing I have ever seen. GSTL > ALL

Yeah. But there can only be one MVP award. They have to make a choice anyway. I think it was also a tournament wide award and MMA did more than Alicia (winning the important games in the OGS and IM games) as well going 3-0 (almost all-killing ST)

Sadly the LR guys rarely send me their work, actually only one guy did it. If someone post summaries(I don't doubt that a blog is written as I type) I'll give a link in the OP.

This was much better GSTL than last one. I think this GSTL was more entertaining that last GSL.

Man, how come the GSTL and Code A finals are always so great but the real GSL finals never live up to the hype? =/
