This is not the place to talk about LoL viewership.
This is also not a place to caster bash/balance whine/flame, etc.
Please don't argue about how many views LoL has, or which game is better, or we will be upset.

I believe IPL won't be releasing timely VODs. Even if you paid $5

Your comment falls into the same category as when foreigners beat Koreans in Brood War. "Oh, he didn't try that game" when in actuality he did. If you think MKP was serious with that build you clearly dont know anything about starcraft I know a lot more then you do and I'd be willing to put money on that. People said the same thing about Flashes style. Look where he's at now.
A very bold statement. SC2 is a game of hard counters and BW is not. IN sc2 you cant mass units that are weak against its hard counter. In this case 1-1 marines vs 3-3 collosus. Getting a factory at 20 minutes will never be viable.

I call bullshit on everything having to be in the GSL to mean something. You act like he's not beating Koreans. He beat DRG 5-2. He just got first in his group in GSL. He's doing well everywhere. He is obviously playing the best. You do not need to win a GSL to be playing the best at this moment. The format of the GSL and the competition is what makes it more important than every other tournament. You have time to prepare for the GSL, time to prepare specifically for one opponent. The GSL alone does not determine who the best person in SC2 is atm. I don't think you can be called the best if you can't win a gsl. In that regard, it does. Bullshit. GSL is not always going on. What happens during the downtime and someone's rolling over everyone? Do we just go "LOL THEY HAVENT WON A GSL THEYRE NOT THE BEST"? No. They're playing the best atm, therefore they are the best atm. It's ultimately a meaningless title of the best when it's devoid of a GSL win. It's like people calling Stephano the best player in the world. Yeah, he's ripping up foreign tournaments, but in a format like the GSL would he be as successful? I don't know. Stephano wasn't playing the absolute best players in the world though. Polt's great and all but I'd hesitate to put him top 10 in the world. MKP was ripping through MC and DRG like it was nothing.
I realize, but it's not just the best players but the fomat itself which is so important for it's prestige.

Cats(THE BEST CASTER IN THE WORLD!) and PainUser(The master of offensive cannons in TvP) get on main stage while Wolf and DoA who are both great casters in their own right but also have good chemistry get shafted to the sidelines...

Only Collosi. Not even PartinG would be able to land a storm against MKP with 25 ghosts.

Only results that matter are ones that deal with the current metagame.

Two good storms and MKP loses 90% of his army. So I guess MKP thinks White-Ra is some sort of scrub who can't control templar eh?

Any unit composition would have hurt MKP badly since he stopped at 1/1 for the rest of the game. His build was essentially structured like a timing push, but he never attacked.

haha MKP wasn't happy about that.

MMA's achievements: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qk7A3.jpg) Looks about right to be a contender for best player in the world.  Boxer is the best broodwar player in the world by that logic. I guess it would be less offensive for fanboys alike haters to call him the player with the current highest form. No one else can compete with MMA for best player until MMA falls out of at least two tournaments against people he shouldnt or someone else wins this GSL and a couple of foreign tourneys. MKP has the foreign ones but if he can't at least come close to GSL champ there is no way he is best atm. At worst for MMA he is one of a group of best players and at best he is the sole best player right now. Dude needs to fix his TvP though.
MMA is by no mean the best player in the world.
