Standard LR rules apply: No balance whining, no KeSPA vs. GomTV inciting, no excessive derailing ESPECIALLY when games are on. This is not a thread for you to argue with other people.

I really want mvp to win this gsl and cement his legacy as the first great sc2 player of his generation, then retire and get surgery on his neck. Rather he leave the game on top on his own terms than to fall to new blood or the transitioned kespa pros.

Same. I hope after the end of this season (and hopefully his 5th GSL championship), he temporarily retires and gets the care he needs.

Another possibility is for him to get his surgery, coach WoL for a bit and then come back for HOTS.

Sad I missed those games live, but I am impressed that Rain managed to win more then one game wow (Rain uses mostly one strategy to win engagements, not good if you fight someone like MvP). Sad for Taeja though but it was Life, his standard play was perfectly for beating Taejas standard play.
Wished for a TvT finals really, would have been alot of fun especially with those two Terrans. Life should be no problem for Mvp though ... but more then Taeja.

A bit sad that Rain lost but he made it very close and it's scary how quickly he has been improving.

I am going to agree to 3-0 for Rain over MVP. The production team running behind Rain will come up with as many match-up revolutionising strategies as is required to win every set in any single elimination round. Those people, whoever they are, put the S in RTS.

To Rain's other credit is that he is the cleanest player in the business. There are no unforced errors in his gameplay, and I guess I can attribute this straight away to the rigorous training regimens of the KESPA teams... and we thought we knew what korean training meant.

The big hurdle with the coming of KESPA to SC2 has been the (somewhat expected) revelation, that noone in the ESF establishment has a brain. MVP is actually the only plausible exception to that, but he isn't a convincing exception by comparison, nowhere near ingenious enough.

In closing, I conclude that the entire non-kespa starcraft establishment are slackers, no-brainers and inexperienced in their approach to RTS gaming. Rain 3-0. He is coming in with training and preparation on a whole another level than what the established SC2 scene is yet even able to comprehend.

Please refrain from arguing with me until the results are in.

Though that sounds wise and perhaps the right thing, for him this is a sign he's still good enough to keep playing even with a injury and pain. For 50k people are willing to endure alot of pain.
Currently is the best time for him to earn alot of money, there is no guarantee he will be able to do the same after the surgery.

The most hilarious thing is that the best SC2 player in the world is a guy who's crippled by neck and wrist pain.

Gogo, Mvp, go get 'im~

With luck, maybe he can even recover in time for HotS.

Is there some more information what is actually wrong with his neck/wrists?
I always wonder how he would play while being perfectly healthy.....
One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch...and kablooie!

Is 50k worth the possibility of being crippled or in chronic pain the rest of your life?

He's already cemented himself as the first sc2 great (yea i don't like the word bonjwa) like boxer was in sc1.

Insane fortitude imo.


And on reflection we're rather being spoiled with "significant" finals recently. Regardless of what you think of the actual games:
- Last season GSL was the first Protoss win in well over a year (something like 15 months) and the first PvP finals.
- Last season GSTL was the first all-kill GSTL finals.
- This season GSL is either the first royal roader or MVP notching up an almost unbeatable record of 5 GSL wins.

The biggest reason I think he's so reluctant to leave the game temporarily is because he is aware of how much it will impact his play. His recovery time could take months if not a year before he's back to regular form. In that time, with the influx of kespa talent, he would certainly fall behind if not in the metagame, than in his mechanics at least.

You gotta remember these guys caught up in only 5ish months? Mvp's recovery would certainly take that long at least I think, and who knows how monsterous those guys will be in another 5 months time.

Anyone realize with only 5 GSLs this year, Mvp still managed to reach TWO finals, despite having a so called "off-year."

Just amazing. DRG won the first, where is he now? Seed got knocked early in this one, Mvp steps up again.

I can not answer that question, also we don't know if he will be crippled or in chronic pain for the rest of his life.
But yes 50k is enough money to stay in pain for.

It's also a asian family thing, they earn money for the family, something like that could play a rol to.

MVP probably doesn't want to have the surgery because the LG sponsorship is so important for IM and SC2 so he needs to keep performing.

Yeah it is if you're poor as fuck.

He probably doesn't care about legacy as much about money.
The life of a progamer is short, so he should cash in on it while he can.
