This is the year 2014 and the game has been figured out a lot more than the year 2011 I never understood that argument that it's more impressive because the game is more figured out, is figuring things out and innovating not impressive at all or something? | ||

If soO had won instead of came second he would be the bonjwa that bonjd I think | ||

Its pretty obvious that former bw players will be good at sc2 let alone good bw players. But i am tired of this kespa vs non kespa war, this is pointless after 2 years. Almost everyone atm in the scene was a bw player in the past so whats the freaking point of this argument | ||

Yeah, actually you could defend the opposite conclusion that dominating when the game is still mostly terra incognita is more impressive because it shows how ahead of your time you were. | ||

I don't think the meta should even be relevant. The greats from previous "eras" should be compared to their peers. | ||

On a serious note do you not think the game is still being figured out? | ||

Probably soO. I think 2012 Mvp's run was more impactful though, (not because of results) but because of what he was fighting. | ||

There are still things being discovered every tournament, the game is still getting figured out. I'd say the general skill level is higher nowadays though, making soO's run definitely one of the most impressive feats ever (also, don't forget GSL happened more frequently when Mvp was at this peak. With up to 8 GSL titles a year, maybe soO would have already won 3). | ||

Personally I think mvp was a bit like batman, he fought against injustice and succeeded. Compared to soo who lost 3 times in a row to protoss. Not the role model I will be showing to my kids for sure. | ||
