Actually, it's the opposite of meaningful. It's pretty much an appeasement (for a lack of a better word) to the foreign audience.

What? MVP for winning 1 game? Jesus.

Congrats to Thorzain, but honestly this does somewhat make the award lose a lot of credibility. Thorzain only won because he had the fortune to be born in Sweden and not Seoul.

Honestly, I feel kind of sad that they gave MVP to a foreigner for this. I see the achievement, but this game isn't Brood War, the skill level isn't that different. I'm a huge ThorZaiN fan btw.
Don't let those anti-cheese advocates tell you what to do. Rush to meet life head on!

Even after Legionnaire,some foreigner players tried to play in proleague these years, Idra,LX,PJ,etc.All of them failed. Couldn't win or just as a B-teamer.Finally ,Thorzain did it.

Maybe it's a marketing, but Thorzain really beyond something anyone else couldn't. and it's R1 MVP not the season's,why should win/lose rate be the only standard?

I agree with the people that it was kind of a pity MVP. Should have been Stats imo with his 5-0 which tied him for best map score difference (there was a few 6-1) but the only player to have a 100% win rate with more than 2 games played.
Nonetheless, congrats Thorzain

Last season they gave Jaedong a weekly MVP for his legendary drone wall in his game vs. Flying. So yeah... I don't think they take the MVP award too seriously.

Please... it's a different game. Those things aren't comparable.

2010-2011,a proleague player very probable to grabs week MVP just by a win from defeated KT_Flash the God. no mattler how many he lost. Win rate never the only standard on week or round Mvp in proleague.

LOL I just lost it at this one XD

No doubt Thorzain is a great player but there are much more deserving people for MVP than Thorzain

Totally undeserved
Right now he's 1-5 in Proleague, and his only win came against Classic, and it wasn't even the ace match. I know he's the foreign hope blah blah blah but KeSPA could at least disguise this attempt to get more foreign viewers a little better.

I tho Draco got that nickname ^^


I must return to the time when I played with my own style, and when I determined the victory through strategies. And the strategies are a product of practicing more than anyone else. The key to success is to persevere through practice. Lim Yo-hwan

lol This guy is still trying to defend it. Yeah, he got the MVP for breaking Flash's streak. Much different than beating Classic lmao.
