Articles like this keep reminding me why this is my most visited site and the first bookmark on my list for 4 years now. Thank you stuchiu, thank you TL! On a side note I feel like the bad guy thinking back that I was up for Squirtle, Bomber & MKP vs MVP in finals and up for MC vs Duckdeok. Im glad for stork, sorry for Yugioh and miss the days of when I gave a shit about most of the most successful Koreans like MVP, Nestea and MKP. Innovation and crew almost killed my love for watching SC2, but its back with a vengeance! | ||

I'd imagine it always going something like Game 1:  Flash > MvpFlash reads Mvp like a book, using star-sense, and maphack mode to catch every little thing Mvp is doing, completely countering Mvp's strategy through smart scouting, and using a strong timing attack where Mvp is rendered useless. *Mvp proceeds to take off his jacket* Flash 1 Mvp: 0Game 2: Mvp > FlashGame 2: Mvp bringing forth a never before seen TvT strategy in HoTS catching completely off guard, catching Flash, all the players and especially by audience by surprise and barely scraping through Flash's last defense lines and decisively taking game 2 *Flash proceeds to drink Pocari Sweat* Flash: 1 Mvp: 1Game 3: Flash > MvpGame 3: Mvp challenges Flash to a Marine/Tank macro battle. Game goes to 4-5 bases for each player, but Flash slowly outpositions, out-macros and backs off Mvp into a corner. Mvp has no wriggle room and forced to gg *Mvp proceeds to take off his cap* Flash: 2 Mvp: 1Game 4: Mvp > FlashGame 4: Mvp goes on to do an ancient WoL strategy that is still viable in HoTS due to the meta never thought of by a player. Flash is caught with his pants down as he predicted a macro game based on his scouting and being overly greedy. He is wiped out quickly *Flash takes out his ruler to recheck his dimensions* Flash: 2 Mvp: 2Game 5: Flash > MvpGame 5: Flash challenges Mvp to a mech vs mech macro game. Mvp is outplayed severely in dropship player/positional player and micro/macro after multiple exchanges. Audience wonders if Mvp can even scratch Flash in a macro game. *Mvp mouth opens* Flash: 3 Mvp: 2Game 6: Mvp > FlashGame 6: Mvp proceeds to challenge Flash to mech vs mech, but brings out his trump card: battlecruisers. Mvp outplays Flash with terran air and after another slug fest, takes a decisive, Game 6. *Flash eyes twitches* and *Mvp's mouth remains wide open* Flash: 3 Mvp: 3Game 7: Flash 2 rax all-in's, Mvp barely defends. Flash sends hoards and hoards of army on Mvp's turtle position where he barely holds on each time in Marine/Tank composition. Mvp proceeds to counter and switches to bio composition, where Flash then switches over to mech, and now he holds on with his patented, turtle terran. Mvp attempts to transition into Mvp, but Flash suffocates him with his mech army and proceeds to parade push him and Mvp leaves the studio. Flash > MvpFlash: 4 Mvp:3Flash, the macro player, who just outplays his opponents in all aspects of the game. God of StarcraftAnd Mvp, the innovator. The King of Wings.The story: In the innocent land of Bw, heroes came and gone. then it was ruled by evil and the world of starcraft was corrupted. Suddenly, a divine came. He brought salvation. He laid the groundwork of how beautiful the land could be. he ruled the lands and then just as he suddenly appeared, he disappeared, but was replaced by a lovable King, revered by many. Years past and the king suffered health problems, and slowly grew of age, and as prophecy told God was to appear in two years. The prophecy was fulfilled, the king bowed down and dethroned and God took his rightful place. *shrugs* I have to too much free time on my hands. | ||

What happened to the barracks from the first 2raxes? | ||

They have a lot of exposure in every major tounrament. I dont see why foreigner could not have 1, not 15, just 1 MAJOR tournament (meaning with a good cashprize, and exposure) for them to show us what they can do. I will thx koreans everytime to make Esport getting so big by their skills, but they are not alone on this planet to enjoy this game or make it enjoyable to watch. (Nationwars, plz!) I'm talking about the very existence of this website, which was Brood War. You had the pro gamers in Korea and you had the foreigner community as well. We co-existed and this whole topic of major tournaments is silly with everything that goes on nowadays. It's in a much better place than what it was in the BW days. Nothing wrong with nation wars (another thing we had way back when). In fact, how do you think those guys came up with it in the first place? We've been asking for it to come back for some time. | ||

Mvp owning everyone was amazing to watch - overall the prime of (LG)IM was unbelievable. Especially Mvp's Mech was beautiful to see. On one hand I really miss the old days, but on the other it's amazing to see that the GSL is getting harder every year - Ro16 this year is sooooo stacked! Regarding Mvp vs Flash: I love Mvp, but at the moment he would most likely get owned pretty hard by Flash. Flash is on fire and Mvp is sadly way past his prime. | ||
