There's one thing I really love about Mvp's play and It's that he knows timings to bring scv's and kill his opponent, not the first time he's used this build on this map vs Protoss, he beat Parting with it.

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.....


That's not what he said at all. >_>


I was quoting ( and addressing ) the whole argument...i thought that was pretty obvious


He said that despite my claims that "the best" is a matter of holistic interpretation of outside facts, there exists a hypothetical situation that could objectively identify the best player in the world. It would be impossible to perform due to impracticality but it was theoretically possible. As N goes to infinity the irregularities (i.e. losses to inferior players) would gradually hold less weight.

Let's go MVP, just win this 1 and in.
It's cool to love to win, but it's better to hate to lose.

That doesn't still prove anything since part of labeling someone "the best player" is succeeding despite circumstances.

Prove what? I'm not trying to prove anything.

I also disagree with this labeling. Best simply means best. Not dominant, not succeeding under these or those circumstances, simply best on average, period, end of story.

Anyway... I get what you are saying. Just disagree 'sall.

Nightend lost that when he move commanded his units, he was in a good spot until then.

I'd say blinking half his army down to the low ground was the move that lost him the game. Stalker's melt to marauders.

Yeah I don't know did he do that. Such a bad mistake, he could have just sit there and enjoyed his 3 bases, may be getting a few templar or sentries to FF'ed forever.
