[MVP]: To be completely honest, I’d say no. I rarely get recognized by people in public, let alone hot fan girls. T_T


I lol'd a little.

Thanks for the interview

Awww man I usually cheer against mvp just because he's always been the huge favorite, but now I will cheer him on a lot more. I love how he's like "no artosis you're wrong"

Wow this interview was awesome. Before this tournament, I admit that I only knew MVP as "that really good Terran player", but now I can get an idea of this player as a human being. Please do more of these kinds of interviews.

As for other teams, do more of these as well please. I really want to see what type of people these progamers are when they are not just in a booth or playing. Thanks

Rofl artosis


isn't that actually what artosis has told us though? He's always told us that bio is viable if you can play base trade scenarios and they will always work better on larger maps. I also thought he told us that MVP has always made fewer mistakes which is the reason why he wins, it just so happens that he uses mech and wins by huge margins when he does play perfectly. Mech has to be played perfectly in order to win because it's so hard to rebuild, but it truly IS the strongest army in TvT.

I don't see how artosis is wrong here, MVP is only confirming that mech play can't be unique, it can only be played perfectly and he's only telling us something we already knew, bio is more mobile and does better on larger maps.

The point I think MVP is making is that mech is going to become less and less the optimal choice as the current trend toward bigger maps continues. If you're playing to win, are you really going to choose the style that requires perfect play in order to succeed when you can become the best at a different style that allows more mistakes but still allows you to walk away with the win?

Also, when he was talking about mistakes, he was talking about his mech play in relation to the mech play of others, not necessarily vs bio.

In the end, mech is never going to be optimal as long as Terran still has marauders. Or unless one of the upcoming expansions introduces a factory unit that can handle them without the high risk of getting caught unsieged that tank play possesses.

Awesome that his dad actually encouraged him to do gaming. And LOL at his response to Artosis. Now Artosis has to argue against the best Terran in the world or give in.

Poor Artosis, all his dreams shattered...
All the koreans seem to have huge respect for Thorzain (I can understand, he's amazing) relative to foriegners.

The problem with artosis is that he states that if you play perfect mech vs perfect bio the mech guy will always win. But that isn't nessarcily true. It most likely is map dependant, and even then we dont really know.

The logic of Artosis is that if you just defend perfectly with mech you will eventaully win. But thats not true if the bio player (if he plays perfectly) is able to get a better economy every time and hence tech to air and beat the mech guy.

Wow, that was a great interview. I love to get to know the players a little as opposed to just seeing them as a sick nerd baller. I would really love to meet his dad (or see them play a 2v2), he seems like a really cool dude. The interview made me like mvp a lot more.

I doubt that tbh. There is/has been some really good Code S players streaming here (not GSL champions tho but still) but they get like 1k viewers from TL because they aint Zerg.

If it was MVP, race bias and player favouritism wouldn't matter. He's the best goddam player in the world...
