Theres a reason why there's no such thing as rock paper scissors tournaments. Game is a joke if the best player in the history of the game can lose to someone like monchi, sorry... The best player in Starcraft 2 history still has to play well to win. Mvp played very sloppy and lost. Just as he should have. And I say this as a huge Mvp fan. Exactly. I'm a huge MVP fan but his play thusfar has been very underwhelming. Nah, huge bw names rarely lost to random foreigners(even when they "played sloppy"), it was like the happening of the month, in sc2 it happens so often to players like MKP, MVP, MMA etc. it makes the game seem a lot less interesting, that's just the way it is. maybe random foreigners are good as well`? Or maybe this game has a low skill cap where exceptional players cant really stand out? Both, but i have hope the later one is gonna be fixed with HotS as some of the new stuff looks promising. | ||

Was this when he stopped practicing and started playing LoL.. no. | ||

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. A tournament with no upsets would be the most boring thing ever. | ||

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... You're only insulting yourself by saying the community is impossible to please. What? Explain this logic to me. | ||

If you actually think that, then perhaps you should just turn off the stream right now and stop posting in this thread. No one is forcing you to watch the game. If you don't like it, then gtfo and stop whining about skill caps and just enjoy the show. | ||
