MVP was a very solid player near the end of his BW career. He has wins over Stork, Best, Jangbi, Effort, Flash, Mind, Snow,2-0 over Baby in MSL ro16. He was a solid A teamer at that point. Uh no nick, it doesn't make as much sense as my claim. MVP was lucky in the sense that the level of competition was much easier thus allowing him to get so many titles. If the Kespa players transitioned as soon as he did, the level of competition would have surely been much harder. He was basically a Brood War pro going up against amatures. Your post only confirms my statement. If he gets more titles now that the level of competiton has risen, I will be impressed. Also MVP doesn't have "wins" over flash. He has one win, with losses that trail it. | ||

But it doesn't matter, he's still the most iconic e-sports figure on this planet. | ||

The difference between the Boxer situation and the MVP situation is that when boxer started SC when everybody was on the same level. Boxer just surpassed his peers. So comparing boxer to flash is pretty dumb because of the different timelines. Flash used what boxer created and built upon it. In MVPs situation there were already a bunch of players better than him that didn't transition until recently. | ||

They all had the chance to break off from kespa and try starcrat 2 but they didn't take it, their loss. Maybe they could have won 4 GSL's and made 300,000$ instead. Yah it may be a dumb discussion to you but its still a fact. | ||

Not much to discuss if It's a " fact " It's pointless fictional speculation, It's like asking if Nada would still win 3 OSL's and 3 MSL's if 2010 Flash went back in time to challenge him. I mean if you feel like attempting to devalue his accomplishments because " the competition was a farce! " then cool go ahead, but that's pretty disrespectful. | ||

MVP was never a significant player to keep track of in BW. 39 % win rate is a classic no-name progamer record. And nowhere it is solid. At least he didn't choke and was an a-teamer full time as far as I know. Still he didn't have that many games played. Not a single BW fan would tell that MVP was a good player. He was mediocre and ok at best. And as far as I know he was the first pro to transfer to SC2. He certainly did his SC2 homework well. But that's about it. I sincerely hope that kespa player shall open a completely new chapter for SC2 skill level | ||

No. It's much like Roy Jones junior. Time periods are irrelevant if you're going to argue about fiction, if they had been playing Starcraft 2 but only between themselves in Kespa leagues and Mvp won all his championships in leagues where they didn't compete I would agree with that. They were not Starcraft 2 players at the time, you can try to guess and assume which of them would have been the best at Starcraft 2 in 2010/2011 but that's pointless. I don't see people arguing about if Moon or Grubby would have won OSL's had they played Brood War instead. Sure the competition would have been tougher, perhaps Mvp would overcome it and win anyway, perhaps he would never win a single GSL. Like I said before might as well argue about Nada vs Flash in 2003. | ||

BW fans like me are spoiled to the bone by the epic history and we demand much more that SC2 can currently give at a spectator level. But I still do watch, mostly because of a lot bw players transitioning. In my head SC2 shall continue to be a mere shadow until players find the way to make it really shine. I think everyone old enough to witness BW knows what I'm talking about. | ||
