Sigh.. Totally agree. Also there seems to be some trend where some people use "timing attack" as if it's a bad thing. Why? I mean, why would you -not- coordinate an attack with an important upgrade finishing, if you can? Is it more honorable to go "oh well stim finished i'll wait a minute or two then go" or something? This is ridiculous. | ||

People like to root for the underdog, and MVP is ALWAYS the favorite. Plus his play is just solid, which isn't especially fun. MKP is fun to watch because he has famously good marine micro. MMA is a lot of fun to watch as well because his multitasking with drops is soooo good, which just creates really fun games. MVP does everything well, but he usually just stomps people with nice clean play, which honestly... is not that entertaining. So it's way more fun to watch him lose. He's a nice guy and I don't think he really has many anti-fans, but it shouldn't be too surprising that he doesn't have many real fans either. | ||

Yes we all know MVP struggles more against P then against T/Z. On the other hand MVP learned from the series where he lost 2-1 to MC. He adapted and won. Call it what you want, i call it the work of the GAME GENIE | ||

First of all, he is the best. He'll get huge respect for that, definitely, but people like underdogs. People also don't like to see the same person win everything. Secondly, he doesn't show emotion. I actually quite like that, because it's very professional and it means he can keep calm and not play on tilt. However, that lack of emotion doesn't translate well to fans. Fans like when you can see how much a win / loss means to a player. I think it's the same in any sport, really. I do think MVP has a huge amount of respect though. I'm a Protoss fanboy but I'll openly admit MVP is a fantastic player. You don't get that good by just being lucky. I'd like to add, that Flash (the greatest RTS gamer in history) also went through the same things as MVP. During his reign, when no one could beat him, people were actually joking he might destroy e-sports because of how boring the scene had become. It's the same thing with MVP. | ||
