I suppose so, just because ThorZaIN is a foreigner he does get a little special treatment. I'm pretty sure this was more of an informal award than a serious one, but nevertheless, there were better people who deserved it. I just hope you get the next one Greg.

Noo, this isn't good at all. I would rather see the actual most valuble player recieve it so that the MVP title actually brings pride. Now it's just a joke. I love ThorZain, he's my favorite player since Jinro retiered. But he's not MVP and everyone knows it.

i'm not sure whether this should be considered the most offensive to koreans, foreigners or thorzain. feels like a loss for everyone really.

Holy shit, if KeSPA were a publicly traded company I'd be shorting them so hard right now.

Jaedong won MVP for hilariously almost losing to Flying because of an idiotic mistake. This is not a meaningful award, and it's implications aren't much. Please stop overreacting.

Racist as it may be :O

I forgot about this.

Start from 12:24 <- this was the best moment in first round, thus MVP award

GZ ThorZaiN!

You should remind, that in the mentioned game Jaedong fought with half of his army for a good amount of time and he still looked good. :uglyface:

I think its kinda sad/cute how Korea has such deeply entrenched racism that they don't even see things like this as condescending.

giyom(기욤) is easier to spell and thats how koreans pronounce it hehe

guillaume not giyom would be 기욤
hard g
silent double l
and aume is like long o -> m

G`ee`oh`m

giyom would be pronounced with a short o (and maybe short i?)

He has used the ID Giyom before (among others) and it's the name of his account here on TL. I think it's safe to call him that.

It's not a serious award. If any of you watched the Gom Awards Ceremony you would know these things are about as credible as the Oscars.

They do have problems with racism, but this isn't indicative of that. It's just a random award that they give away for really dumb reasons.
