Mvp is just a washed up shadow of his former self, with a wrist injury to boot, right? Wrong. Even if Rain had crushed Mvp 20-0 in other tournaments, that doesn't mean a DAMN THING to Mvp right now. The GSL is Mvp's playground. Rain is trying to get a legitimate claim to best in the world, but he can't do that unless he beats Mvp on his home turf. You can talk about Rain's amazing run all you want, but the truth is EVERY SINGLE TIME people count Mvp out, he wins. GSL is Mvp's home turf, where he thrives in this EXACT kind of environment. Throw out your statistics all you want, but they don't mean a damn thing to Mvp. If Mvp wins, Rain is another derailed hype train, just like so many before him. But if Rain wins, he will win this season of GSL and be on the road to immortality. No. What separates Sun and Parting is attitude and skill level. Season 1: Winning so many of his PvTs and deemed a PvT specialist before he played his first official PvZ Code S match against DRG and got smashed 0-3. Season 2: Parting literally show only PvT( he won 2 PvP against Oz who then claimed  vP is all about skills lol) until he got beaten by MVP .Parting thought MVP is free ticket to the finals.Read up his interview. Got cocky and lose. Got tilted after being 1/1/1 by MVP.Unlike Sun who is a total beast in all of the match-up(PvP,PvZ,PvT), Parting was only a PvT specialist and a good PvPer. Sun is humble and doesn't show much in interview but in his games. Sun is gonna beat MVP 3-1 or 3-0. But I never count MVP out since he is a 4X GSL champion and has the uncanny ability to fucking win games with his injuries. | ||

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. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Note that I am arguing for why Rain is invincible, not for why ESF is shit. I respect what the ESF have been able to bring about, but it all ends right here. | ||

Even Rain has noted that he feels a lot of his wins are due to a stylistic divide rather than a skill gap, once people figure out his style he won't be doing so hot. | ||

Sadly,MVP can't practice as much as anymore due to wrist and neck injuries. Sun on the other hand is fine and healthy and can easily do his 12-hour rigorous Kespa training regimen everyday. | ||

They're not, Kespa players have a great training environment and years of experience but they are not naturally more gifted at RTS, they do well because of their hard work. Rain just happens to be a genius at sc2 and in one of the absolute best practice environments at SKT. " In closing, I conclude that the entire non-kespa starcraft establishment are slackers, no-brainers and inexperienced in their approach to RTS gaming. " just lol, that's all I can say. | ||
