MLG wasn't a regional tourney- and that tournament was Flash vs. Life, the best BW pro vs the best SC2 pro, an epic clash of the titans. Sick games too. I'm not hating on MVP, but a regional tournament needs to be region locked. Well you know what's going to happen with region locks right... every region outside of korea will immediately become irrelevant, because you may get 5 europeans representing europe but they are going to get butchered in the world finals. Allowing people to play wherever makes the thing competitive. | ||

He's only one man, Europe can stop him next season. It's not even like Mvp is the best player in the world anymore. Having him there build huge hype and storyline for any foreigner that will face him in next season! | ||

I get that in the case of WCS AM, because It's a lot of Koreans without the history of Mvp. But this is Mvp, he's an icon of this game and any tournament featuring him will be better off for it. We know his story and can relate to him, It's not like some random person who has never won a tournament before took the crown. EU will fight back. | ||

The Stanley cup final isn't between the best NHL team and the team in Mexico. | ||

Hopefully they work out a plan to keep ToD as a caster even though he's in Premier, I like him a lot and I think he's gotten quite a bit of praise during Season 1. I'd love it if they managed to get HasuObs as a replacement for when ToD is unavailable. | ||

The only reason I watched the finals was to watch a European player defend his region, and it didn't happen. I love MVP, but he shouldn't have been in this tournament. | ||

The Korean matches are at a terrible time for Americans and probably not a very good time for EU though I assume its slightly better. Also its not really fair to make a claim and then say since you cant prove or disprove it my claim is true. | ||

Strangely some people don't like that and are having to find stuff to bitch about. That Final was so fucking epic man, and the MVP vs Dimaga game ..holy shit. Just let yourself be happy | ||
