People are judging the situation by Mvp's previous skill level, not his current play. Keep in mind, that the 2 Protoss he beat last season in Code A to make it back to Code S both finished last place in their up-and-down groups.

bang on.

also, simply put. there isn't much of a skill gap yet anyway.

BW had 10 years for the Koreans to break away from the pack.

come back in 10 years and see if the best players are losing to some b team foreigner.

You're simply comparing two very different beasts.

I don't understand the balance whine MVP a few months ago was owning people before the infestor nerf. Hell during the match gowser made a total of 0 broodlords and max 10 infestors a game. MVP is injured, gowser has been working his ass off, and anyone who watched the games could clearly see the choice of strats were totally in gowser's favor. This is SC after all MVP tomorrow could 3-0 gowser and no one would mention a thing. It is only when an upset that had all the right things for the underdog fall into place that everyone jumps in uproar for nothing.

So you choose to be disappointed by a guy that spent the holidays in France, an ocean away from his family, in a country where he doesn't have a lot of friends so that he could have a shot at beating a wonderful player - though diminished. It's easy to scream patchzerg but to even think goswser isn't working his ass off to make it to the top is very condescending.

People complain when no foreigners are beating koreans, then they complain when they do.
Refer to my post.

Leave the France part out. That ruins your argument so much, at least to Americans. I'm not sure if you know.. but spending holidays in France is kind of normal and considered amazing to most Americans (even if we hate French people). I get what you're saying but god it sounded so awful and funny to me.

You have any idea how many Korean Terrans Goswser has beaten? It's a lot more than just MVP.

But, all in all I agree with the guy you quoted.

Foreign vs Korean TvT and TvP are the only matchups you can predict with confidence anymore. Even if a player's skill is unrivaled by the other's-- Bomber vs Scarlett, Gumiho vs Vortix, Roro vs idra, or Grubby vs MC for example-- you can't blindly bet on the more skilled player like you could in BW.

better player wins 100% of the time is a bullshit theory that should NEVER EVER happen, the underdog factor is what makes games interesting, as both players have enough chances to win that it wont be a 1sided landslide

Yup. But looking at his condition during the GOM year end awards and his game play in Season 5, WEM, Blizzard Cup, and Iron Squid, I am not sure how much Mvp has been able to practice since his finals vs Life. He kind of dodged a bullet in Code A in that he probably got one of the weakest brackets.

Hopefully, he has been taking his time to have some rest and treatment on his wrists.

Why is it dissapointing to see a foreigner beat a korean?
This is a actually a good thing from a competitive point of view
