But in all seriousness, it's a shame that we can't see what the players in Korea are really made of due to a low sample size. I mean, a few bad games and Nestea was no longer considered the best. And IMMVP losing a few games that were really just that, a FEW and then no longer considered the best. | ||

Then Nestea went and won another GSL and became the clear Zerg King. Same thing for this thread really.

And IMMVP losing a few games that were really just that, a FEW and then no longer considered the best. The way Nestea just dominated everyone last season showed that he was above everyone else. Even after getting knocked out early this season, he's still considered to be the best. I don't think too many people will argue against it. The way MVP played this season convinced most people that he is indeed the top Terran. Even if he gets knocked out in the round of 32, I think most people will still consider him to be the best. I know I will, unless someone else outplays MVP and shows that they are better. | ||

While I would have said that MVP was the king of the Terrans a few months back, he seems to have fallen off and slumped a bit recently. Of course, if we want to talk about who's the most accomplished Terran, it would be indisputably MVP (followed by MKP with his throng of silver medals). Its rather hard to judge who is the best Terran right now. If I had to group the strongest Terrans together this would be how it looks like within that category overall, including each of the best match ups (some players are inconsistently left out because I feel that they aren't all that great or haven't proven themselves): The Definite Best Terrans 1. MVP 2. Bomber 3. MarineKing Top Tier Terrans 4. Polt (Optimus) 5. NaDa 6. sC 7. MMA 8. PuMa 9. Byun Best TvT 1. MVP 2. PuMa 3. Byun* 4. Bomber 5. MarineKing 6. Polt (Optimus)** 7. NaDa 8. MMA 9. TOP 10. Clide * TvTing his way through to the semi-finals, taking out MVP, sC, NaDa and Bomber ** Dismantling and outplaying MMA in the finals, who TvT'd his way to the finals Best TvZ 1. MMA 2. MVP 3. MarineKing 4. sC 5. Byun Best TvP 1. Polt (Optimus)* 2. Bomber 3. MarineKing * Yeah sure his opponents play terribly but he holds a 4-0 record against MC and held a 100% win rate before Killer took a game off of him in a close match you do realize that all the people you listed in best TvT that SlayerS_Ryung would destroy them right? rofl | ||

He seems to rely on the all-in that shall not be named more than any other terran out there. The few times I've seen his standard TvP, I wasn't very impressed. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Looks like we get a dream GSL finals. If MVP wins, then he no doubt will be the terran king for a while and may, dare I say it, be on his way to bonjwa status. If MMA wins, then I feel that the crown prince will fail to unseat MVP, but there will be enough doubt. These 2 haven't met in a serious match before - the MLG finals was played in low stress since MMA has already secured Code S. And there was some online tournament which in my opinion doesn't count. Also, MVP vs Bomber, Code A finals should not be used as a benchmark because that is a low pressure match. If that match was for a Code S spot, it would count for far more. MVP is a big game player and MMA already showed weakness in a big final (i.e. Super Tournament). However, MVP is not a "timing attack" player, so the games should be fairly epic. Looking forward to a very even mech vs bio contest. | ||

MMA is underrated, he and Bomber are second best imo. MKP and Puma are overrated, and there are a bunch of random code S terrans who are also pretty good. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + MVP will win this GSL... only has to go through MMA now, who admittedly isn't an easy foe. Harder than MKP, that's for sure. I think MVP will do it though. Regardless, when you take a look at the history, there's really no doubt that MVP is the best Terran though. | ||
