Mvp is too good. We'll see in a year though...

If Mvp transitioned late into SC2, he wouldn't be anywhere near as successful as Life. There are much more talented players currently. Mvp played in an era where MKP and Nestea consistently made GSL finals...
He was smart and skilled for the time though.

Great article, it's funny when you read the comparisons of who they went through Life's opponent's are almost always much tougher, like I said Mvp has the strongest claim to bonjua, but Life is the GOAT. Post-Kespa switch tournaments should really be ranked a bit higher than the 2010-2012 stuff, we had a huge turnover of pros quitting because they couldn't handle the increased competition.

I suggest you read the article. Even when nearly a cripple and far removed from his prime, he kept up with INnoVation, who was at that point a legitimate monster. It's not that easy.

Had MVP not been injured he would be a laugher for best player ever.

Even after his injury and with almost no practice Innovation barely got past MVP 3-2 in the WCS world semifinals.

And yeah, those players that were competing against MVP would suck now like bomber, mma, polt, mc, maru...

IMO if you do this list a year from now, Mvp will still be top and life will be maybe top 5 at best. He's been on a tear but his skill comes and goes. Mvp was crazy dominant for almost 2 years. Did you know that from his first GSL win until the end of WoL Mvp was in half of the GSL finals? And from there he took the win 2 in 3 times.

Great list. I'm surprised that there was no mention of Life being a "Royal Roader" though. Also, while Mvp had to deal with physical adversity, Life had to balance StarCraft and school at only 15 years old. Like Mvp, he could not practice full-time. As stated by the StarTale coach: "Because of the law for the compulsory shutdown, the tournament had to be played earlier, and to have enough attendance at school, Life is unable to attend the media day in the morning. As a student in middle school, Life faces a lot of restrictions. We can overlook the compulsory education, but now there's this law for the forced shutdown. This makes it really difficult for the player to play to the best of his ability, and I think it's quite a pity."

life has been as dominant as mvp except he has been doing it for way longer.

I read this as "I looked at the numbers and didn't like them, can't be bothered reading the whole thing.".

Hey guys just wanted to weigh in and say you counted Blizzcon 2011 twice.

In terms of Life vs MVP, MVP did it during GomTvT; Life did it when his race was the weakest. Life also has prevailed in the wake of KeSPA.

MVP was a good player. He was certainly the best Terran of 2011. He won a remarkable number of titles during this period because there were more of them to win. GSL was almost monthly then; now its 3 times a year. It's not really a fair comparison.

Don't really care about the journalism stuff because it is obviously biased. The only thing to look at is their achievements and prize winnings, and I see only one outcome: Life as #1.

Only twice? You should put more effort into being his #1 fan, don't you think?

Life's highest peak was during the BL/Infestor era.... MVPs GSL win vs Squirtle came at a time where Protoss was ridiculous dominant.

MVP's list of achievements is missing gainward. Definitely deserves to be at least a Tier 3 event. Godly player pool for the time it happened and was played offline.

I guessed the players for 6-10 and 1-5 right! Guessed Nestea/MMA and Life/Mvp backwards though.
