I know most of you just read the order but #1 is 8900 words long, that is 1/4th the entire article for all 15 players combined.

It's hard for me to put it into words, honestly the new players should just go back and watch the god damn games, I'm sure they are enough testimony to Mvp's greatness. 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.

we're considering releasing mini-write ups for the players who are close to breaking into the top 15 (and maybe what they have to do to get in and where they'd land) if there is enough interest for it

LOVED THE ENTIRE SERIES

2 complaints one of which i already voiced and the second relates to the first.

1st It felt as you went closer and closer to number 1 the prestige of tournament became more weighed by the run of the champion (NOT THE PLAYERS INVOLVED) and while it has been argued that "bracket luck" has been a factor for players to winning tournaments, BUT they A) still had to win the games to get the finals and then win said finals and B) Someone has to win.

2nd which i already voiced is that to be top 3 or better than mc (take your pick) you should have needed to have won at least 1 preparation style tournament and at least one weekend style tournament i dont care if mc (i'll look it up later and edit this is just an hypothetical metaphor) but 3 prep tournaments and 4-5 weekend tournaments vs teagas like 11-13 weekend tournaments and 0 prep tournaments top 3 of the greatest of the greats and you cant win the type of tournament that started many peoples love for starcraft around the world simply feels wrong i dont care if teaga goes on to win another 10 weekend tournaments and mc 0 for as long as teaga lacks a perp tournament win hes locked into 4th place of the greatest of all time until then.

Also sorry for elaborate complaints and criticism vs the praise. It needs to be said that making this list regardless of the rubric and how much you do or don't stick to it, regardless of the order for most part, some people are going to be happy and some aren't and throughout the list there are a lot close calls that im sure given how you line up certain details of run against run etc etc there might be a switch in player ranking or there might not. BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU TOOK THE BALLS TO MAKE A LIST THAT TRIES ITS GOD DAM HARDEST TO BE MORE ABOUT THE FACTS THEN ABOUT FAN FAVOURITES OR PERSONAL PREFERENCE AND THAT IS A TASK THAT BASICALLY STARTS OFF ASKING FOR FAILURE AND WHEN YOU START A TASK THAT IS ALMOST A GUARANTEED F AND TO SCORE AROUND A B+ I GOTTA SAY WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS.

ps i do think you even though they included several koreans, koreans that also regularly attended them i do feel you weighed foreign tournaments to high. while you went into detail as to why you did it still felt in some small cases a little high.
