Why are people playing with jackets on in their tournament matches? Are the booths too air conditioned so it will get cold or is it just to avoid overall coldness while playing?

I love how quickly jump back on the MVP bandwagon after his extensive time on the sidelines due to his wrist injury. Pretty sure I remember seeing Marineking hype all over the various SC2 sites.

Mvp has always kept his fans, and I don't think anyone is saying that Mvp is better than MKP and that MKP has fallen off.

Mvp is my favorite player but I would say MKP is the favorite in all MU at least until Mvp gets his wrists fixed. I am just glad that he is still able to play at a high level after all this time and considering his injury.

Not from me. I was always the biggest Mvp fan, NEVER EVER MKP. Mvp is the smartest Terran so far.

I still think Mvp is smarter than MKP in every situation, so Mvp > MKP for me.

Did you guys cry when Leenock exploited Naniwa's predictable play at Providence as well?

Naniwa is nothing special. The reason why he has such a strong mid/late game is because he plays so greedy in the early game. If he didn't cut so many corners he wouldn't die to cheese but he also wouldn't be so dominating in the later game. Of course, you guys don't realize that because you have 0 understanding of the game.

You can punish a Nexus First build with something else than a 2 proxy rax. If you don't believe me, check Assembly replays for DieStar. MVP choose the easy way; and it saddens a lot of the foreign fans.

You can go back to aAa if you wish, I've heard they are nice.

You're just responding childishly. You aren't sad because "MVP choose the easy way", you're just angry because naniwa got crushed for being so greedy and instead of accepting that you're just putting the blame on mvp who by the way owes you nothing.

I'm glad you are a mind-reader, friend.

I'm not mad, I'm not upset. I'm disappointed because I wanted to see an epic battle with a glorious winner.

And NaNiwa didn't play that greedy, it's not like he did 1Gate into 3 Nexuses like the now famous MKP 1Rax 3 CC build. He lost, badly even, and that shows he isn't on top of the world. But that doesn't mean MVP didn't choose to play shorter games. That was his plan, he said so in the interview.

In Iron Squid, Symbol did some very prepared build too against MKP but those were innovative and meticulously planned BO. A proxy 2Rax is just a random thing you throw at your opponent wishing he doesn't blind counter you, it's not a specific Bo for a specific opponent. I expect more of a player who was the best not so long ago; wrists issues or not.

That being said, PartinG is on his way to a title right now and it pleases me.

A proxy 2 rax on Daybreak is extremely EXTREMELY risky on Daybreak, not something random by Mvp.

Smarter, not better. I totally agree with what MVP did, he's there to win and thus, did exactly what he had to. But to me, it doesn't make him a better player.

You're delusional if you think naniwa is better than mvp. Smarter is better -.-


Ok dude, i never said that Naniwa is better than MVP. I said that the way MVP won doesn't make him a better player than his opponent. I'm not gonna enter a contest to find out who the best is between Naniwa and MVP. Pointless.

Winning a BO5 (regardless of how you win) makes you the better player.

Funny how people seemingly proclaim "MVP can't macro!" as if they just wiped out his 3x GSL runs from their memories. Reminds me of protoss players forgetting what MC did for their race.
