kinda weird and awkward imo, i don't really know what they were hoping to accomplish with this, but i'm pretty sure most people will not be too happy about this (including myself). It also kinda takes away from future MVP title holders.

Yeah, but this isn't a "most impressive achievement" award. It's the MVP.

winning a match in proleague in sc2 and BW are completely different. should seperate BW PL from sc2 PL when you talk about such matters imo

That's nice. Two and a half years later Broodwar foreigners and Koreans are realizing what we've been yelling in their ear since sc2 release, mainly that Warcraft 3 players are not held back by some imaginary line that says some broodwar cultural thing that I can't even remember, something about if you're a korean something like that.

Yeah, but this isn't a "most impressive achievement" award. It's the MVP.
There's also translation, so don't look for the most precise meaning; and this award has not always consistently represented the absolute best-performing player of the given period. It clearly takes other factors into account.

As for the best-performing player in round one - it's Rain: 6-1 and 2-0 in aces.

It's not the "absolute best-performing player of the given period" award either. I know that. It's the most valuable player award.

We all know Thorzain wasn't the absolute best-performing of all. Obviously. MVP is a bit more vague. But still.

Happy for Thorzain, but going 1-3 and getting the MVP title is uinfair. I feel like this is koreans pandering to foreigners.

This is like my sixth grade sewing teacher giving me an A because I was the only boy in the class. I couldn't knit a damn mitten, but I still got an A because I had a penis.

Anyways, why are people surprised? Yes, this is very condescending and destroys the meaning of MVP, but did you all forget who they gave the MVP to last season?

Was it:

Player A) 19-12
Player B) 19-6
Player C) 15-4
Player D) 18-11 and led his team to their first ever Proleague championship
Player Jaedong) 15-15

They gave it to Jaedong.

These MVP awards are pretty meaningless when half the time they're given to a player with a good story instead of a player with good results.
