MVP had to fight against more terrans. Terrans are the most skilled players according to popular opinion. This means MVP had the harder meta! POW!  | ||

Rain, Zest, herO are all very good but they lack something to stand next to Life and Mvp who are of a very special kind. | ||

Just wait a bit, now that Zest is back on track he's going to be the one and true GOAT. | ||

I've read your arguments but none of you have made a compelling argument. All you've done is yell revisionist history. | ||

He played TOP, MKP, and MMA in 5 different finals. The only weak one was TOP and even then TOP had already proven himself to be a top tier TvT player before he got smashed by TvT. I've read your arguments but none of you have made a compelling argument. All you've done is yell revisionist history. Funny thing is that people tend to praise players that won during terran dominance but when it is zerg or protoss they are called patchzerg´s/protoss. When your race is dominant what matters the most is your mirror matchup. | ||

Why do some people consider Zest's run at KeSPA Cup (or anyone's run in any tournament during an era when his race was dominating) as less valuable then? The Protosses he beat were no scrubs either. | ||

I've read your arguments but none of you have made a compelling argument. All you've done is yell revisionist history. One of your arguments was that Life had an easier Meta than Mvp which is just objectively wrong and shows "some" bias, maybe if Mvp had played and done well during the 8 or so months of Protoss faceroll in HOTS but no, almost all of his success comes from gomTvT..... Your other points are sort of meh, such as who "innovated" more just completely subjective, I can't even begin to quantify this, maybe if they played the same race, even just counting premier's doesn't seem that fair to me, the level of talent on the game is so much higher, it's not that players just got better, it's that we had a huge influx of highly talented players (kespa switch), so it's much harder to win things, even foreign tournaments have much much more raw talent, they're not fielded by BITBYBIT with another 2 koreans and a bunch of foreigners, you can't equate a 2015 GSL with a 2011 GSL and think that's a 100% fair comparison, if you're willing to make this leap that this is a 100% comparison sure go ahead and say Mvp is the best. | ||
