Absolutely this. MVP fans tend to be the ones who value skill over "sensational characters".


MVP fans are the ones who tend to root for whoever the top player/team is. Like the guys who rooted for Michael Schuamacher in F1


Mvp has been slumping, doesn't mean he's lost his skill and smarts.

Respecting someone's talent is a valid reason to be a fan, now stop being a douche and watch the game.


This. I've been an MVP fan for well over a year now. It's awesome to watch him fight back against his wrists. :D

The rating poll is NOT to say "my favorite player won and I am happy". It is to show what truly amazing games are.

Or I rate it whatever the fuck I want to for whatever reason I feel like.

This is just a LR thread. Who honestly cares what the polls say?


People who do not have a lot of time and want to watch the best games of a day.


And what makes a good game is highly subjective. Some people love bitbybit. Is that hard to wrap your head around?

I sure hope Johan can pull himself together. A 3-0 for MVP would be a terrible way to go out

Sharing some priceless knowledge needed to understand what korean casters are saying

농성 = it's to siege a place (like put 10 tank and 5 goli)


Do you have the phonetic english (or whatever it's called) for that?

True story. There are so many pathetic games with zerg or protoss winning that get 5 stars or highly reccomend JUST FOR THAT.

Rate it what you want, I thought it was a well thought out and calculated build/execution.

It was not impressive from MVP at all. First game Naniwa made game-worth mistakes (attacking siege tanks in the choke, using ffs in the second encounter even though he only had chargelots and archons in his army). The second game was an all-in from MVP.

MVP great after these two games? I don't think so...


1) Naniwa did screw up but that doesn't take anything away from how well MVP played.

2) All-in or Cheese is no different from any other standard play, except for foreigners. MVP wouldn't only play standard just to please his foreign fans.

why are the mvp fans blindly voting 5 stars? By no measure was that game 5 stars.


The rating on the games is purely a popularity contest. Fans of either side will always vote * or *****

marine scv all in never deserves 5 stars.

When your favorite player is winning and killing a Protoss (and a player you don't like) with it to boot, it's totally a 5 star game.


Which in other words means that your rating is worth less than shit (since its 100% subjective) and you shouldn't vote in that pool.

MVP assuming a Nexus first on a 4 player map is pretty safe.

MVP's barracks hiding, denying probes, and brilliant splitting of his marines so they wouldn't all get spotted on approach was how he won. MVP did a great job with that all-in.


I am in platinum leauge and i could that all in the same way. Its not hard to deny probes with marines. Its not hard to pull 3/4 of your army through the back way, especially on Entombed.

Nice attempt on covering shit with gold


But you don't know how to play macro games, so its pointless to compare yourself to this high-level play. Things that don't work in lower leagues actually might work at the top because of how scouting works and how mind-games happen


Not to mention 9/10 times that guy would probably lose with this on ladder. So ignorant to think you can compare yourself to MVP.

I'm so glad to see this. I hoe it's an easy 3-0 for MVP

Those code S are stupid. I mean naniwa is 0-8 in PvZ and is in ro8 ? this is stupid.
Too bad most people are so driven by the Anti-Korean sentiment they don't care.



for me anyway, its more about having a PROTOSS champion of GSL code S because it hasn't happened in so bloody long. I guess I'll probably be putting my faith in SQUIRTLE now, I don't think there's any way Nani can save this series.

Squirtle? Not Parting? I have to question your choice of Protoss superheroes.



Squirtle's just had it coming for such a long time. He's been insanely talented and on the scene for a long time and seeing his evolution has just been awesome. I feel "attached" to him more because I've been able to watch him learn and grow. Back 15 months ago he was the pvt specialist who dominated the teamleague. His pvz builds were outdated, and he was average at pvp. He was good, but relatively 1 dimensional and didn't experience a whole lot of tournament success. He's improved just such a huge amount in the past year, more than possibly any other protoss.
Since then, he's become the best pvper in the world, arguably, and one of the best pvzers, but is actually a little weak in pvt at a time where most protosses in the GSL are doing really well in pvt and poorly in pvz. His styles have changed a lot, but he still maintains fairly original play and has a very "nuanced" style. It seems like he prefers a lot of "finesse" intensive styles rather than just beating the fuck out of people with a 2 by 4, if that makes any sense at all.

Parting is good at abusing the current pvt metagame. Talented guy and created huge metagame changes in the matchup, but there's not the same "history" where people have been waiting for him to do really well in the GSL for over a year.
Our Protoss, Who art in Aiur HongUn be Thy name; Thy stalker come, Thy will be blunk, on ladder as it is in Micro Tourny. Give us this win in our daily ladder, and forgive us our cheeses, As we forgive those who play zerg against us.
