Don't get me wrong! TvT will always be my favorite match up to observe. But watching one race dominate the latter stages of a tournament gets old fast. king of foreign tournaments? he didnt win dreamhack, he didnt win homestory cup, he didnt win mlg, he didnt win nasl. he's only won 1 foreign tournament.
He won dreamhack stockholm, copenhagen games, and starswar 6. Just saying. Plz don't argue.

Wow come on don't be so ill informed and still fucking post. He's won copenhagen, dreamhack inviational, stars war inviational, and has gotten top 3 at NASL, HSC and MLG. He is king of foreign tourneys if there is one. You need to win more than 3 tournaments to be considered 'King' of tournaments. That's like saying Nestea is 'King' of GSL. He's the best player in the world right now, but he hasn't earned the title of 'King' just yet.

Hence "if there is a king he is one". And I was more responding to the guy who said he only one 1 foreign tourney.

Anyone found out the trick to voting for the MVP Nomination? Registered and logged in fine, still unable to vote.. several people in the comments with the same problem. Hopefully I'm not missing something glaringly obvious.. but I'm usually pretty good with these things. >_>
|
I hope MC wins, toss needs someone doing well lol. And MC is the only one that seems to be able to do it.
|
MC should take this. Puma's solid, but on the whole I think MC is the better player.
|
MC 3-2 PuMa in very close games.
|
It could go either way, they are both quality players but I would like MC to even things up at 1-1 after losing the NASL finals.
|
is there a reason this is not in the TL events tracker? its annoying as hell to convert the time difference and i've doing that for like the last 4 days.

I appreciate the OP for making the pictures of the players look better by making the corners curved. It is much better than when it was plain old 90 degree corners like in the day 4 thread. Anyway I'm rooting for PuMa to take this!

Please show some respect, especially to the two time GSL champion. He's still easily one of the best still in the scene. Yes, he did recently lose dreamhack and hsc3, but they were all to a volatile matchup of PvP. and go to up-down matches Nestea has fallen to the Up/Downs before, and not only has MVP done that, he fell all the way to Code A. So what? -_-;; The reason he needs to be in up and down is he picked mvp. If nestea does so, he would be in the up and down now no doubt. Yeah MC messed up picking MVP. It's a hard lesson he had to learn just like SCfou did who is now toiling in code a because of his bravado as well. Go for the easy pick to secure your Code S is what players should do. With a bo1 situation, it's not worth the risk. MC picked MVP because he wanted to maximise his chances of getting top 2 in rank points for GSL so as to get invited to BlizzCon. The way it worked, he maximised the chances of MVP and NesTea playing their toughest opponents - himself and each other - early on, giving him more opportunity to overtake in rank points. Of course, that's not how it worked out, but the strategy was intelligent. Heh yeah I know why he did it, but it wasn't worth the risk. He's called suicide toss for a reason!  Hopefully MC beats puma though! Go MC go! That's why he's most baller nerd ever. Cowards die a thousand times those with balls only die once inside when heart stops pumping. I hope you all are voting MC
.Puma is terrified on stage and terrified to speak English = not a baller.

You can't win em all even flash doesnt but MC is not only KING of foriegn but overall too. Money is tells the story and he's number #1 by about 10K over runner up Nestea. Next closest to these two is 100K behind. No foreigner even comes close HuK's won about 30K.

He's had the best 2 series (vs select and vs mana) and only dropped 1 game, and his interviews are great as always. Plus his expansions in pvp and HT/warp prism play are awesome.
