I feel proud considering my countryman xigua has got at least a 2nd place lols.. but seriously...there's no shame in losing to MVP as a zerg .. congrats to both players As a Zerg? WTF. MVP TvT is better than his TvZ. Ya MVP is obviously famous for his horrible TvZs......oh wait. | ||

Didn't John the Translator say that bonjwa doesn't mean in Korean what the TL community means when they use it? I remember him saying once that bonjwa is just something a person says about themselves, as in "I am a good player". | ||

MVP TvT is better than his TvZ. I don't know for sure if his TvT is better than his TvZ considering he pretty much has the best TvT and TvZ at the same time. However, it seems like you know it for sure. | ||

All game he killed 1 CC and like 1 drop ship lol. MVP was toying with him. YOU play against MVP and tell me how it goes That's irrelevant. Anyone who ever argues with the "you couldn't do better" idea is always wrong on so many levels. Just because you aren't able to sing for instance, does that mean you can't critique music that sounds terrible? Xigua played horribly (in both games) and was completely outplayed. MVP had no reason (unless the minimap was too blurry for me) to pull back from his triple bunker/triple seige tank push, he had the game won at the point. There were only ~9 lings across the side of the map and he already had 1 tank and a bunker at his expansion to defend. The amount of banes/lings Xigua used to try his 2nd attempt at busting the push would have died if MVP left his units at the Zerg natural. Afterwards, MVP was really just toying with Xigua who couldn't handle his drop harass at all - why else would you bother to make 3 nukes (which requires that many academies) and 25+ cloaked ghosts? Fun game to watch but Xigua was nowhere close. I agree. He should've/could've ended it, but decided to make a spectacle of poor Xingua in front of a packed Korean crowd. To me, it's kind of BM to pull back and wait to rape someone like he did, embarrassing him like a little child who knew no better. He was clearly not playing on MVP's level, and MVP should've had the courtesy to win gracefully like the champ he is. | ||
