It happens in Football(Soccer), Basketball, Tennis, NFL, Hockey etc all the time.
Are these bad games?

I really cant take this game seriously when players like MVP lose to no name protoss. Dont even say it was an upset, because we keep getting more of them. I'm sure you said the same when MC lost to thorzain in TSL3... Or Fruitdealer to Thorzain... lol where's FD now? ........This was TSL 3. When FD was still a major contender. And Thorzain was an absolute nobody.
Was this when he stopped practicing and started playing LoL..

Nah. Impossible. Seriously though, this community is impossible to please. Have a tournament with top 8 only koreans, "omg no foreigners make the game boring". Have a foreigner pull an upset vs one of the best koreans "omg foreigners taking games off koreans make the game boring".
Can't please everyone...

Or maybe this game has a low skill cap where exceptional players cant really stand out?

To all those STILL whining about it; imagine a tournament with no upsets. MVP would win everything he entered and it'd be kind of cool for a while but then it'd get reeeeeal dull.

You realize they almost never played vs foreigners, and that the foreigner scene was completely underdeveloped with only a few players. This is not the case at all in SC2.
yea wtf lol the BW foreign players was all amaturs now you got pro players in in sc2. Its like a huge difference you cant compare it

I read an article on how to be decent at it and beat my wife like 6-0. apparently Humans suck at being random so scissors is least played and rock is statistically most played (by males) so it's safe to go paper usually when in doubt. Also playing the item that your opponent would have beaten you with his previous move tends to win. If an opponent goes for the same choice 2x in a row the chance of him giving it a 3rd try is extremely low as he is "trying to be random" as opposed to actually being random.
