But whoever titled this post is a @#% because it definitely made me believe I missed WCG and MVP already won. [I wanna watch him do it live] Edit: Yup, I said what I meant. | ||

He's better than pretty much every other possible player for Blizzard Cup mentioned in this thread, although I understand people being blase about Korean Terrans. He makes intelligent plays and with bio or biomech doing very well matchup wise, I'm sure he'll deliver some great games with marine-tank or pure bio. Plus 2012 will belong to fOrGG, so one last hurrah for everyone else.  | ||

Which is the stronger one? MKP's destiny for silver, or MVP's fate as the destroyer of all things (except Leenock). | ||

MKP hasn't been past the Ro16 in Code S since the Super Tournament which Polt won. | ||

The Blizzard Cup is supposed to be a year's summary from the best players over the year. Fin/Jjakji have recently picked up steam (though you can't really say anything about how Fin matches up to the best of the best yet) but they haven't been major players over the year. Almost everyone in the list that's been invited so far have been hyped all year to some extent at least. They got their wins and they qualified. | ||

I also don't like the decision. It just feels uninspired. You could take the winner of a major tournament, but instead you keep digging lower and lower in the GSL Rankings. I love GSL, don't get me wrong. It's pretty much all i watch. But this tournament felt like it was going to be more than GSL, and if you're taking fifth in rankings.... Since when the hell does 5th place mean anything ever? At least he's a solid player, could be a lot lot worse. | ||

MKP hasn't been past the Ro16 in Code S since the Super Tournament which Polt won. do you realize you just validated my point even more ? so polt has 1 final (won)+ 1 semi final, while MKP has 3, THREE finals, at least 2 ro4 that I can remember and I think in the first GSL MC won he got ro8... During all this we did not even know who Polt was.. so yeah, I still do not get it. Did they change points regulations or points attributed to players at one point in time ? Or is it just that winning a GSL gives you just SOOOO many points that a 3 times runner up + several times ro4/8 is below that. Anyway, I think giving the spot to the 5th in the GSL ranking point is pretty fucking dumb regardless. I think it's cooler if they picked people from different tournament. They should have given the spot to the 2nd place guy in case MVP wins WCG. On a side note, and this may be completely subjective, I think Polt pulled an Inca. I do not think he is bad or lucky or anything, I just think his bracket in the super tournament and the way some of his opponents played made him the winner that particular time but we won't see that anytime soon. In fact, MKP is still way more dominant than Polt even if he did not win a GSL yet, just look at recent results, MKP has been placing really high left and right in online and offline tournaments while Polt is struggling heavily since he won that title. That is why I like MKP, yeah he has been slumping a while ago but overall he is super consistent as a player. Super strong play. I think he's only second to MVP as skill, but his mindset while playing on big stages fucks him up. No wonder online and from the comfort of his Prime home he's a beast and no one wants to face him :D Oh well | ||
