As usual, don't player bash, don't flame, and don't balance whine. Failure to heed this warning will have consequences.

Probably when he becomes the equivalent of a BW bonjwa. And that hasn't happened yet.

This is totally not true, he used to stream a couple months back and he would talk in the chat, and make a channel on NA and play 4v4 with fans.

Yeah, I actually got to play a game on his team vs Nestea's team. Was a lot of fun, and he was very friendly talking to us all.

I consider him the first SC2 bonjwa.


In his prime he was the best player to ever touch this game. Perfect play, highest ELO in SC2 history. It was just glorious to watch and it gave me a BW feeling. Shame he got injured.


He was always injured. He just couldn't practice as much anymore due to the increasing pain on his wrists. MVP is as good as he is without practising as much as he could. Imagine what he could do with perfect wrists seriously.

Yeah, CTS and sc2's release were the reasons why he retired from professional BW.

I think Vortix's biggest mistake is attacking only from one angle. If he would have flanked more he would have won that g4 easily.

Really no hype at all in this tournament, such a quiet crowd :/

That and the lack of a decent observer are killing this for me.

MVP being a boss is the saving grace.

Did Mvp win the game for your team?

im terran but i dont consider him a bonjwa yet, I would rather wait until he achieves something so huge that no other player can come close to overshadowing him.


To me, winning GSL when people argued that his time was over with his wrists half destroyed, is enough.

Also it was at a point where the TvP meta was really good for Protoss.

GSL August was a facecrushing display of dominance but Season 2 this year was really something special.

I'm glad mvp beat this utterly medicore Zerg. That said, I think Nerchio has a very good chance of 3-0ing mvp. If mvp struggled vs Vortix, he's going to have a very bad time vs Nerchio.


I actually agree. This series was closer than it should have been.


erm, thats just how TvZ looks these days. The difference in class and skill is shown in the engagements and multitask etc, but you cant just walk in and kill the zerg just because you are better.

MVP continuing to save IEM.

Now to eradicate Nerchio please.

Unlike Vortix I have no problem with Nerchio winning, he is actually top class player.

I dislike the thought of Nerchio winning, mostly because he's not Mvp and that confuses me.

I get that If there was one of my favourite players in the finals I would also probably cheer for him and aginst the opponent, but in case of those two I am just waiting for good games.

It reached the late game and nestea's team threw away all of their armies.

I think it's because there's too much LoL fans T-T which is quite the "easy game to play for everyone" so much more fans for LoL T-T

Oh and he gave us that game 5 in the finals. My personal favorite game of all time.
