For such a shy guy, TaeJa's sure can talk.

Hopefully he's got the right stuff to back it up.

I think the main reason TaeJa might be balance whining about TvP is probably First, it's not like he has a TLPD winrate of like 65% in the matchup or anything... But First took him out a couple of times recently, as the only person really able to do that.

And lol, humble Mvp, makes it to code S round of 16, claims there are 50 players better than him. It's the perfect anti-jinx. TaeJa on the other hand might be totally jinxing himself.

Both very interesting interviews! Thanks as always SeeKeR. :D


Seed also took him out convincingly in S3.


Ahh, I thought I remembered that happening, but as I was about to write "Those LG-IM protosses", I realised I had lost track of when it happened and decided to go for the option I was 100% sure about, that being First. :p But yeah, Seed took him 2-0 in the round of 16 last season.

What is with the "Truth be told" that keeps repeating in MVPs interview?

Taeja such a boss, why does he have to switch mice? He was always a logitech mouse and razer keyboard user, did the team force him to?


lol I was about to make a post saying "take a shot every time he says truth be told"

It's nice to see that MVP is humble and admits that he's not as invincible as he use to be.

Thanks for the interviews. Nice to see how MVP is humble even though he is still so good.

Taeja is on a roll. Hope he can win Code S.

lol

Oh you fools...

In Korean, we use the phrase: 솔직히 말하자면 to convey that there is something we need to get off our chest. And that phrase translates to truth be told. Don't belive me? Here is Mvp's interview:

Source: This Is Game

솔직히 상대전적을 의식하지는 않았다

솔직히 말하자면 실력적으로는 다른 테란들보다 많이 부족한 상태다.

솔직히 지금 GSL에서는 전체 선수 중에 60등 정도 하는 것 같다.

솔직히 별다른 감흥은 없다.

솔직히 별다른 기분은 없었다.

Now I admit I could probably use another word like "honestly', but truth be told works fine.

They respect each other enough to not have to hide strategies to win, I doubt MMA held back at all. There's not much you can hide in TvT when you play marine tank vs marine tank, It's just whoever plays better wins.

There are tons of different variations and mind games going in TvT. To say it's that simple is ridiculous.

Sure there are variations and mind games, but the point is that they are rivals and probably don't care or want to hide strategies in order to win but instead want to use their raw skill to outplay each other. I mean why would MMA practice with him if he was hiding things?

mvp's interview reflects the reason to like koreans besides their mostly higher skill level. theres no excuses, he blames his losses on himself and his own skill, and doesn't blame it on the "bullshit" game.

This is true for alot of Koreans, but MVP alot moreso. Read any of the interviews, it's the same, even when he was dominating last year. Like when he lost to MMA at GSL finals at Blizzcon; where the interviewer was trying to say that MVP was in bad condition and MVP said that it would just be an excuse if he said that and was just not up to par in skills, or his Blizzcon winner interview: "Nestea is the best zerg, and I'm a decent terran". He's incredibly humble.

Sometimes I forget that MMA is an old man and I am briefly surprised when someone like MVP calls him hyung. For whatever reason it seems to me like MVP is the older of the two, MMA just has that little kid feel to him I guess.

Yeah except they also blame their wins on a perpetual streak of luck, and theres nothing to respect about that forced humility bullshit.

MVP (and almost every other Korean) has complained about balance publicly at some point or another, as well as made excuses based on other things. Yes, they try to avoid it more than most foreigners, but a lot of the time it's just because they don't want to sound like they're whining more than actually believing what they say.

Because gamers have said that in interviews all the time?

That they won't use any special strategies they have prepared? Sure, he may have played as strong of a standard game, or threw in some known tactics here or there, but if he had anything special planned I highly doubt he would have used it.

In fact, if anything, being rivals would make them significantly more likely to hide something.
