So was there a second vote for actual MVP or do we just not have a real one for this round? There's players out there who have actually won multiple games, sometimes even in the same match.
Life is too short to take it seriously.

I think that's really cool. It could be viewed as condescending, and i may even agree with that, but i want to look at it positively and will do so.

Can't stop me.

interesting. This must be tough for Thorzain to express. Even if he feels unjustified, he may owe it to his sponsors to be cordial with the extra exposure.

Personally, I hate the feeling of my viewership being bought like this.

This is like Jordan carrying the Bulls into the championship game 6 and some random white player on his team scores the last 2 points to win it and getting MVP for the tournament just for winning the game and being white.

You are going to post the finished product in his fan club, eh?

This is their nod to the new team, the foreign fans, and Thorzain himself. It's not just about winning the most games. Thorzain represents what is valuable, now, to the Proleague...

Giving MVP to a foreigner with a 1-3 record is pretty condescending, especially since he beat classic and has been playing SC2 since release.

MVP for round one because he took a game off Classic and he's the first foreigner to win a game of SC2 in Pro League? Sorry this is kind of a joke and they know it too. lol

No offense to Thorzain, but comparing Steve Kerr to him seems awfully kind to Thorzain.

This award does seem like it's just a white guy award though.

Pretty much Jibba and someone really needs to tell KeSPA to stop trying to combining the stats of the two games. It's a running joke at this point.

1-4 = MVP? I guess Stephano's a lock for round 2 MVP.

This total stinks of marketing shanenigans to get more attention from foreigner viewers. I mean, it was an amazing accomplishment and a memorable day in SC2 history, but that doesn't elect you the MVP. It just doesn't. It's like playing in the NBA and winning the MVP because you scored 60 points in a game that gave your team a spot in the postseason.

It was either a marketing strategy or yet another proof that you don't ask the public to vote for anything.
Wisemen speak when they have something to say. Others speak when they have to say something.

lol true Kerr had ring already by that time.

Oh well, I hope at least the Koreans won't complain too much as they were the ones that voted for him.
