Someday when gaming gets large enough will see this less often, but until then it's just part of the landscape sadly. IM sure had a good run while it lasted that's for sure.

Pretty sure it him alluding to Tasteless casts when Mvp is involved, referring to him as the greatest RTS player of all time.

whoaaaaaa. RIP IM, but to be fair, They kinda lost a bit of their essence when YoDa, First and LosirA went, then when NesTea left, Mvp was all that held me on...

I hope Nestea and Mvp can join the same team for old time sake.

He's not far from that. He achieved more in SC2 than anyone so in a way he is like Flash. But there's no comparing these two players.

No he isn't "like" Flash. Mvp was the best Brood War player to ever switch to SC2 (at that time) so that's why he have won so many. But after Kespa players made the switch, Mvp hasn't done shit.

Mvp is no bonjwa, but you're wrong. Mvp won so much because he's fucking brilliant. Even today, I'd wager Mvp in terms of decisions is top-tier. The guy knows how to plan a series out.

It isn't Kespa that accounted for Mvp's drop in results. He was already withering away on a mechanical level long before they made the transition.

You know, nothing besides go 5-5 in semifinals across two premier tournaments against the best kespa players a few months to a year after the switch. And nearly win one of those tournaments. And, you know, he totally obliterated everyone at tournaments where there were no kespa players. -.-

Outside of all that I just hope he doesn't retire. I remember reading about him tell his story earlier on in SC2's life about how is family was poor, how he used to be very sick, and how SC2 really gave him a light in the darkness. I just hope that light hasn't been eclipsed, or if it has that he has a solid next step (then again this is MVP and the guy is tactically incredible).

Mvp's decline is more likely due to wrist and neck condition than anything.

When it began, he couldn't clip his own nails since his hands had no strength, and it only got worse after that. I have no idea why he continues to play games rather than heal at that point.

I truly believe Mvp would be the indiscutible bonwja of starcraft 2 had he had't had (is this a correct phrase? lol) wirst and neck problems. Come on, look at all the things he did with all the problems he had.

As someone who was rooting for Mvp´s opponents in his most important matches (Nestea at blizzcon, Squirtle in gsl finals), so you could say i am a non-believer or whatever, I think what Mvp has done in SC2 is pretty close to the level of dominance of Flash.

I´d rather compare him to Boxer anyway as both were just matchup-defining, creative killer machines that could/should have won so many more titles.

MVP is 6 time GSL finalist and 4 time winner and is the greatest RTS player of all time.
