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.


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.


You said that the hypothetical situation could identify the best player in the world by placing everyone under identical and simultaneous conditions. My objection is that such a situation would only prove who is the best player in the world under those conditions.

You disagree with my assertion yet agree with it immediately afterwards. I don't get it.

The Progamers / Casters do the observing themselves. There is no designated cameraguy.


So why did they think this was a good idea? most progamers plays the games with such fast pace and move the screen so much they might as well have ADDS. they need to have some dedicated guy to control the camera and not progamers that keeps moving the camera
