Maybe people need to start accepting that Mvp is not the best player in the world anymore.

Just like they accepted before GSL October. Or before last GSL.


Win one GSL and suddenly you're the best player in the world. Good logic. I remember when the thread monsters were slobbering all over Jjakji because of one fantastic run. Where did his other championships go?

No, win 4 GSLs and you're the best player. That's the point, just because he doesn't win every single tournament he enters doesn't mean he's suddenly not the best player anymore.


He isn't the best player anykmore because he cannot consistently beat everybody else, which is what the best player does. Honestly it's embarrassing when people just call x or y the best player, do they understand how utterly dominant you must be to be considered for the title? Mvp doesn't possess that dominance anymore.

I don't think this holds. At any one time, someone must be best (by definition), even if we can't clearly tell who. However, it is not given that at any one time someone must necessarily dominate everyone else. Whatever happened to the first-among-equals situation?


That's a false assumption. "Being the best" is a judgment call created by people based on outside evidence, not some intuitive ranking system that naturally exists. If there is no sustainable argument for any single individual then nobody occupies that position. Right now anyone can trash anyone in the KR scene and they are doing it on a regular basis.

But there is an objective ranking system. Let's say a hypothetical N-round robin involving every player played under identical and simultaneous conditions. Of course this is not realisable, but that's not a problem. I put it to you that as N goes to infinity, the winner of such a hypothetical tournament will be stable, e.g. P(this player winning) will approach 1 as N grows.



This whole argument is stupid, youre saying x is the best player and everyone else is inferior and that starcraft should be a game were its impossible for the superior player to lose against a inferior one.
In that case every tournament would have exactly the same results.

In every sport a inferior player/team has a chance to win otherwise nobody would watch because it would be fucking boring.....

Kind of the same issue I have with when people are asked "Is it okay to play the game out rather than give you a walkover since your opponent broke some rule". I'm rooting for MVP, but allowing him to not wear headphones does make the game quite... questionable.

No way a professional player (especially one that lives, is going to live or has lived in Korea) is going to pass up on a chance to beat the best player in the world. Implying Nightend is going to give it anything but 100% is bullshit.
