Summing up the interview with MVP:
He says he's more skilled than MKP and has an upper-hand in the mind games. He adds that he doesn't feel disadvantageous when it comes to the mind games in any games he plays.
(Something about his wrist?) He gains a lot of strength from fans.
He has a feeling when it would be best to all-in. It's just something intuitive.
He said that his wrists hurt so much in today's games that he couldn't micro properly.

I don't really know what makes a bonjwa, how close is MVP if he wins this season of GSL?
Well typically, a Bonjwa back in BW is someone who becomes highly dominant at one point in time (around half a year to one year). This dominance is usually composed of a high win percentage in most if not all matchups, multiple individual league titles (OSL and MSL at the time), and an aura of invincibility.
The concept of bonjwa isn't really applicable in SC2 as of now because there are so many tournaments around the world that it's hard for one player to win most if not all of them obviously due to distance, scheduling, etc. And GSL, unlike OSL, has its seasons set weeks apart from one another, unlike OSL and MSL where it usually takes a month or two until the next season starts.
MVP is undoubtedly the closest thing we have to a "bonjwa" in SC2, but in the strictest sense, he's not a bonjwa, nor do I think that the term can be applied to the SC2 scene. Bonjwa died with Savior.

Really think Artosis should go with a "any last words for your fans?" as a standard ending of the interview, it's really nice.

"he said his wrists hurt so that he couldn't macro so well" oO This is really relative lol !
I still remember his game from Open Season 2 where he lost his entire army to kill a base, they panned back to his base and he had exactly the same army just about to move out. :D

Probably upset that he had to use 2 scans for one of those banshees...

i have to admit ( don't know if fellow mkp fans have the same feeling ) even though mkp lost he showed much more composure than he used to.
remember when he played parting in season 2? when he lost he was completely crushed. at least this time he knew he still has a shot and i hope he makes the best of it!

MVP is the most successful SC2 player ever, labeling him as dominant for a long timespan is a disservice.

Nobody says he's overrated I don't think, but people shouldn't be saying he's the best 'player', he's just the player who is playing best at the moment.
Others have reached similar peaks in their careers; Bomber is a good example, he did incredibly well during early-mid 2011.

Good point. Can anyone tweet Artosis?

b-word or not, with HotS coming out next year I simply don't see anybody replacing him as the most successful WoL player ever, unless MC / Nestea / MKP suddenly wins every GSL after this one.

Curious and his chewing gum...

Youre right, that is the first time I can remember where MKP didn't cry at the end of a series - win or lose.
