Here we go again. This weekend is about good games and good fun. Don't rain on that parade. Play nice guys. Here's the very standard and friendly:

- NO Balance Whine.
- NO Player Bashing.
- NO Caster Bashing.
- NO BM whatsoever.

Breaking these rules (from pg 166 forward) will be met with severe punishment.

How come MVP doesn't have any fans? Being the best player in the world ought to count for something, and earn him some fans? If MKP or Huk would have been the best, they would have tons of fans. It is a bit weird, he is always well-spoken, doesn't cheat and don't cheese, he is pure talent, but still, as he said himself, he doesn't have many fans.

He definitely has fans, judging by this thread alone, but there's maybe a bunch of reasons why he isn't the most popular with the fans.

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.


The difference with Flash and MVP (apart from Flash being an RTS genius) is that people universally acknowledge Flash to be the greatest player of his era, and arguably the greatest BW player ever (and some would argue, like me, that he's the greatest RTS player in history).

As you can see in this thread, there are people who think MVP isn't even the best T in the world. Huge difference. It's a fucking joke, because there's no denying that MVP is the greatest SC2 Terran to date.


mvp won't be able to reach flash level in sc2, not until SC2 expansions are out and add more depth to the game and raise skill ceiling to further differentiate skill levels... hes very mortal ex: mma and nani and haypro who I feel he is a more complete player but the difference is not that big tbh

Who is FXOLeenock? Has he ever come to MLG before?

Gonna be funny/sad if some random dude comes into the championship and takes the 50K over all the other plays who came to every MLG.


Leenock random dude LOL ? hes maybe one of the next best zerg of korea


I meant it that he has never come to MLG. I don't watch Korean SC so I have never seen him before.

Just kinda undermines the whole grand championship thing if some guy can not participate the whole season yet still show up and take the big prize. Sorta like NASL, they do like 3000 matches, and then some guy who never played in NASL takes the big prize, making the 3000 placement matches pointless.


Leenock has been around and good ever since the very first GSL

yeah well...TLers are complaining about their favorite players losing only because of tiredness or whathaveyou so...

Leenock just rolls that way, Minors fighting.


I think people have a point.. It should be very difficult for Open bracket none seeded players to advance...

seedd players should be able to choose the maps.., is one way of giving advantage to the seeded players..

I do think MLG needs to rethink it's championship tournament format. It is INCREDIBLY biased towards the championship bracket players. At least force them to do pool play for seeding - it still gives them a big advantage and seeds still matter. The fact that a player who never won an MLG this season can simply win the championship in potentially as few as 6 wins vs. the completely ridiculous number an open bracket player has to play through is kind of crazy. Allowing open players to earn the right to get into the late championship bracket by winning the open brackets and dominating pool play was the redeeming factor in the tournament structure anyways.

Haypro wins the 7th/8th Place match with Idra by DQ. #MLG xd


Or maybe he's actually a nice guy in real life?

$750 difference between 7th and 8th means a lot more for Hayder than Idra and Idra did a nice thing. Plus he never shows up for those consolation matches on principle.


No. Greg has said in the past that he doesn't care for consolation finals and placing so much. Look at the other MLGs where he's done this before. It's the same story man.

He doesn't give a shit. He just wants to win.


You just repeated what I said back to me...


It's not the same thing.

There's a difference between not giving a shit and having a competitive edge to not participate in a consolation rather than playing the nice guy card.


I said he never shows up to consolation matches you repeated it back to me after I said it.

And he knows how much that match was worth and what Hayder stood to gain. If it was somebody he didn't like he would not have given them that money. Hence the "maybe."


...

Look at the whole rather than the half and you'll know which part I'm addressing.

Yes, he would. Hayder and Greg aren't good friends man. What you said is very presumptuous. IdrA isn't donating to Hayder's charity.

It's as I called it. He doesn't give a shit and he never shows up for consolation finals as a result.

There are no maybe's. It's his character.


That's just your opinion. What you're saying is just as presumptuous so spare me the argument of your opinion over mine when I at least qualified mine with "maybe" and you're just spouting nonsense as absolutes. Annoying much?

Nor has he been as dominant as a guy like Flash. This is why calling someone the best in SC2 right now is silly especially when the lines are just going to continue to blur.

That's how it's been for the majority of the MLG's....


There are currently no player left who have been to every mlg.

Nani has been to all but 1
MVP has been to 1
DRG has been to 2
Leenock has been to none

Exactly, at least the other guys have participated in MLG in some way. Anyway, just funny to call it the GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP OMG when a guy who never played at MLG can just come and take all the money.
That's how I roll!

Wait why are people mentioning Naniwa when talking for Code S spot, isnt it this time reserved for Koreans only, like it was every MLG, or this time everyone can get it?
Would be a bit waste of the slot if its like that, considering he failed so many times winning first match of Code A over and over again..


Code S has never been Korean only, Coda A is non Korean only, it's just that Koreans have been finishing best (except Orlando, but Huk already had Code S)

What Naniwa is def Code S quality. What are yu saying?


That's debatable, being hot for one tournament doesn't entirely erase his horrible showings in the GSL's he participated in

MVP got this. Half the reason I hope he wins, though, is so we don't have to see extended series vs DRG should Naniwa win the upper bracket match.
