This is the saddest I've been because of starcraft in a long time, lol. At least when he fell to Leenock in November he played amazing games and nobody could bash him, but today he just seemed frustrated and didn't play up to his standards. I have no doubts that he will show his skills once again and silence the haters, skill like he had doesn't just disappear overnight, but the next few weeks are going to be very disappointing without MVP playing. | ||

for those who want to know the gem + Show Spoiler + even tho mvp was losing he was doing a beautiful job of spreading his army and constantly chipping away at curiouses econemy. even tho curious had a far superiour army mvp was trying to destory curious ability to remake the army and just micro really well against it to hopefully get a decent trade so he could stop it and force his pressence back on the map. | ||

Nobody else bar MMA (who is really looking dodgy with the Return of Protoss to GSL) is even in the running for the title. Until he loses for more than 1 month and somebody else can take up his mantle, I don't care what Waxy says: MVP still No.1 People say that Oz has some of the best PvT in the world. He beats MMA 3-2 in a series where MMA was sick. MMA has crappy TvP. | ||

MVP is still maybe the best player in the world. But he is nowhere near "hands down" the best player in the world like some people have been saying. He has been losing too much for that. | ||

He has been losing too much for that. I think he is still probably the best in the world but there's no doubt that the tip top of the korean scene is getting very crowded lately. The skill gap between players in the ro16 is razor thin for the most part and mvp can't just roll over players by playing his b game like he used to. Very exciting time, hope mvp comes back in top shape next season to silence the haters and anti-hype train that is picking up steam | ||

Flash didn't make every semifinals that he entered but nobody would consider placing another player at the top of Brood War. There are players that can take games and even sets off of him but it takes more than that to dethrone him from the top especially considering him obviously playing below his standard. Comparing MVP to Flash would be like comparing the St. Louis Cardinals to the New York Yankees. Yea, the Cardinals have 11 World Series wins, but the Yankees have fucking 27. The point is, MVP's reign is no where near as impressive as Flash's. | ||

I'm not sure who you are making this point to, considering I never said that MVP was as impressive as Flash. My point was that when Flash gets knocked out of a tournament before the semifinals nobody brings his skill into question, and nobody asks if Flash is still the best player in the world. People seem to realize that even the best player in the world will have his off days and poor performances and that this doesn't constitute a 'slump'. MVP isn't as impressive as Flash but then again nobody is. MVP is the closest to Flash's domination that starcraft 2 has. The gap between MVP and MMA DRG etc isn't as big as exists in BW but it takes a large sample size of results to figure out where people are skillwise and MVP's results speak for themselves. | ||
