Thats not a fair assessment and you know it. The balance has changed, the maps have changed, the races have changed, the metagame has changed and Mvp was in large part responsible for multiple evolutions in Terran play.

It's like saying, well I think Soulkey could beat oGsTOP, but if we had them play a WoL 2010 pre-patch Reaper on proxy metalopolis, steppes of war and desert oasis, I'd bet good money on oGsTOP beating the shit out of him.

To reiterate my point about some viewers seeing HoTS with crazy multitasking and say "OMG WoL players such noob compared to this". A lot of that can be attributed to David Kim increased the speed of the almost every unit. As an example, Polt wasn't a crazy nexus sniper back in WoL because slow medivacs wouldn't allow that.
I think mechanics of players in late WoL is comparable, maybe only a bit worse than the players in HoTS.

you really think that if SK had time to prepare for a BoX against TOP, knowing the map pool, that he'd still lose to 2010-era cheese?

well if you wanna put balance into this, then that doesn't help mvp's case either, since terran was much stronger when he was strong...

and i stand by my statement
