He showed time and time again sheer brilliance(intelligence?) in his game and sometimes it wentbeyond that, some of his games were inexplicable, it sounds silly but I feel like he sometimes transcended the game when it seemed as if every single move that happened were fitting their part in his grand plan.I've played DotA for almost 10 years, sc2 for at least 3, watched countless games and yet I can safely say that Mvp was the only player/team of any game to provide so much excitement through his play.Life though, well Life mostly just murdered people through his raw mechanical advantage for at least as long as I watched him, I doubt much of that has changed. | ||

And how do you know Mvp didn't just get lucky until his luck ran out? | ||

Such a painful game for me to watch again. I was wholeheartedly rooting for MVP haha. BL/Infestors aside (I think that now, looking back at it, most people acknowledge it was imbalanced), Life's tech switches were amazing. | ||

It's just a few tall guys running around and throwing a ball into a basket. StarCraft II, on the other hand, is evolving every day. Players find new ways to play and there are balance patches that can change everything. Also, players play different race so that also changes things. Basketball is just who is faster and more accurate. That is all. This is actually not true at all, the way basketball is played has changed tremendously over the years because of the invention of new offensive and defensive schemes as well as rule changes. The shot clock didn't always exist. Neither did the three point shot. Or the three second violation, or the restricted zone, or any number of rules that changed the level of contact and physicality that was permitted in the game. Comparing the best players of the 50s up through part of the 70s to the best players today is very difficult to do for precisely those reasons. They played under different rules and in a time when the overall approach was much different and in many ways simpler. | ||

Mvp did everything right to come back in that game. There was a gargantuan gap in skill between Tefel and Bogus with their respective encounters with Mvp. Against everyone else at the WCS Season 1 final, Bogus had only lost 1 game to RorO. It was also a TvT, where Mvp didn't have the mule advantage to help cushion against the huge worker deficit. | ||

I was for life up until reading MVP's list and in particular the post injury miracles. 5 stars. Thanks for putting this together! | ||
