Watch how you approach the topic of match fixing. You can speculate, saying "I'm not so sure about the finals, something doesn't sit right with me," but if you are going to outright accuse players of match fixing you need something more than your word. TL takes match fixing/abuse seriously and as such there is a burden a proof when you are accusing players. - p4NDemik | ||

Except that boxer is terran and people love me, just like mma, or marineking, and so on... And that no one cheered for the "unknown" underdogs yesterday ( on the opposite, it seems the bashing is still going on) so it's not that simple. People also like players who seem to have a strong personality ( a long discussion would be needed to define what that is) and I think (just my opinion) MVP is one of the least charismatic players around ; I've seen him in plenty of matches, I still know nothing about him, his few interviews are always kind of dull, he barely shows any emotions, and so on. Not that it's a bad thing, but it makes it harder to find him interesting. His play sure is, but the "character", not really. | ||

Not when he dropped two games to FD (who has said he himself has realllllllly bad ZvZ) at IEM, lol. It's not bad, but it's not "very good." Sorry, but if you have "very good" ZvZ, you shouldn't have FD outclassing you for two games. (And yes, FD actually legitimately outplayed DRG in two straight games before falling apart in the next three. That's not what I'd call a strong ZvZ showing.) | ||

But Blizzcon showed me that ESWC is a great tournament and that we could have it much worse. Thank you Blizzard. | ||

And then they have Nestea as a bit of a safety net. Okay, I'm taking off my foil chapeau and being mesmerized by this fascinating trivia. Around 85 seconds for a probe to pay itself off? Fascinating! | ||

More importantly you aren't a true fan if you can't support your guy through loses. I still love FruitDealer and he has been losing for almost a year. Same with Moon. And while I am an MVP fan he doesn't fall into the territory of the above two who are really inconsistent, MVP certainly wins a lot lot more than he loses. Taking only this tournament as an example he dropped games to Toodming, Select and showed poor game sense in game 2 vs Nestea. Also, while he is like the most consistent player in the GSL, he dropped out of code S once I think, and has other losses like in TSL. Also I'm unhappy with his 4-1 loss to MMA yesterday  I believe he is the best player in the entire world, but I would want it reflected by not only many titles, but also an ability not to lose to people he shouldn't lose to. I want consistency, and I want SC2 to reflect that the best player in the world only loses to the other almost best player in the world people. Lastly I don't claim to be a "true fan" or anything like that, I'm simply stating that he is my very favourite player. I base it on the way he plays with amazing macro and marine control. If he would completely slump and do nothing but lose he wouldn't be my favourite player anymore. I like MVP for his skills and play style. | ||

The phrase is definitely duking it out, not duking off. Duking off was just a mistake. | ||

Despite that being rather farfetched and silly, what purpose would it really fulfill? I can't see anyone really care about if a zerg wins or not. | ||

Well, it's almost impossible to do without knowing the exact timing. And even if you guess the timing right, it will most likely be an even fight, and zerg will die at the next random timing. | ||
