In terms of raw results I think Flash should have been MVP. But his awesome, history re-making win against BaBy was pretty cool, too. People need to remember that there's like 7 more rounds of PL or something.

To be fair, a foreigner winning a game in proleague IS super valuable for any foreign team. This is a question of which player is the single most valuable player, not necessarily in terms of skill, but overall. I don't think anyone doubts how valuable a player ThorZaIN is to EG, and I know it's only because of EG-TL that I even really care about proleague this season.

Completely ridiculous. Recognition.... Sure. But MVP? Are they aware what MVP is an acronym for? Give me a break.

They just want T-Zains attention because they think he´s cute, and who can blame them really?

Cool, but "Spoon Terran" is a 1000x cooler nickname over "Blue Eyed Warrior"

It's quickly sounding like no-one is happy for Thorzain winning the award, or for Korean press for recognising foreign talent (the MVP is voted for by reporters, as it says in the OP). Lighten up

Congrats, Thorzain!

This must be either a whole new level of pandering to the foreign audience or a semi-sarcastic "holy shit foreigner won a game" reward oO

His achievement - be the first foreigner in 7 years to score a win in Proleague - is far more impressive than that of any other player that round. Well deserved.

Foreigners win games against koreans quite often, and SC2 proleague can't be compared to BW proleague. The whole "First foreigner since 2006" thing kind of ignores this fact. In fact, it cheapens the memory of BW and just how incredibly hard the professional scene in korea was.

No it's not, because the only reason why it happened is because ITS A DIFFERENT GAME

It's not like thorzain accomplished something where all those other pros failed.. he accomplished something completely different, and much less notable. There are dozens of foreigners that could have accomplished the same given the opportunity, whereas in BW NOBODY could.

Funny how JD is in the list but not people who did better like Taeja or any number of players. Those were all by reputation.. Grats to Thorzain though!

Ah, look, getting up there to the opportunity is part of the battle that he has already won in his career. Please don't undermine that.

Despite that, say what you want about the difference of the games - it's true, of course - but for Koreans, it's still like a miracle to see a foreigner beat them on their own turf, so they respect him a lot for that. And I respect them for being respectful.
