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. You're making an uneven argument. Life's most dominant streak was during the BL/infestor era, yes, but Mvp's most dominant streak was not when Terran was at its weakest - it was in early 2011, when Terran was universally considered the strongest race. For proper comparison, you should compare Mvp's win vs Squirtle to Life's win at MLG Dallas or his out-of-the-blue win at Blizzcon 2014. | ||

Extremely early in the meta before anyone quite knew what they were doing. Zerg was seen as weak, Terran abused their slightly better (or better? depends who you ask) race and they both won over Terran players. | ||

Mvp played in an era where MKP and Nestea consistently made GSL finals... He was smart and skilled for the time though. If Boxer played later in BW he'd suck as well, he played in an era where a foreigner could win a starleague. Whoop dee dipity doo. While we are at it lets do this with every other sport and talk about how much less successful players in the past would be and how inferior their competition was. While we are at it, I'm jumping at head of the time, with that in the future Life wouldn't be nearly as successfully if he played later compared to random dominant kid who hasn't even played Starcraft yet. Therefore Nameless Bonjwa is #1. | ||

Results are not the only thing that make a player, stories are essential too, and I can't think of anyone with a better story than Mvp. His fourth GSL win was, by a distance, my most emotional SC2 moment. I'd actually go as far as comparing it to Federer's Wimbledon win the same year : against strong odds, relying on sheer talent and brilliance alone. I cried after both. Haven't paid attention to SC2 for quite a while, this article sure resparked my interest. Thanks stuchiu. | ||
