Just finished the read up on both MVP and Life. Amazing work Stuchiu, you truly understand the kind of player Mvp was, down to the very core. And you backed your arguments up with facts. Mvp should be proud to have a fan like you do him justice!
Forever the best, IMMvp <3

Hahahaha classic swag_bro


Not the troll we deserve, but the troll that we need!



Okay, it's not trolling if it's true. It is a known fact that Life is better than Mvp. Life in peak form is so much better than Mvp when he was in peak form. So what if he won if he was injured? Squirtle got cocky in that GSL and didn't he beat a foreigner in the WCS EU finals?


Well even is Life is better, he might not be the greatest of all time. LeBron James could beat Michael Jordan at his peak, because the game and players developed so much since then. But Michael Jordan is still the GOAT, period.

Regardless

this part has to be trolling a little bit at least . And how is this article an insult to Life and where does it call him a bad player?

Oh and I usually don't agree with Thorin, but this came at the perfect time haha.



This article directly implies that Life is a bad player because the writer made him #2, not #1.

I was halfway through typing a real response before I realised it... fuck, your are good at this!
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

I was hoping that this article would go into it more scientifically with all the achievement list comparing. But injury/age/macro based play, has distorted the list a bit too much for my liking.

Still a freaking good article though, not gonna lie

Prediction: by the end of 2015 Parting will be on the list and Life will be #1. For now though, great work Stuchiu!


Parting gets top 4 at Kespa cup he beats sOs/Leenock/DRG. Gets top 2 he beats MKP. That's how close it was.

HE WAS ROBBED

seriously tho, the exclusion seems to be a indicator than the criteria you used had some flaws, mainly not recognizing consistency enough and a somewhat arbritary ranking based on what players they beat. like i said i think this is the only weak spot of your otherwise great series

Great propaganda. How much you got for putting up this bullshit?
Just saying your opinion is laughable. Great writing and research nonetheless.

To be honest I'd say they're even right now, but that means that the next championship Life wins will propel him to number one.

There is just so much rose tinted goggles effect looking back at Mvp's career, sure it was impressive, hell, top 2, but just so much stuff gets credited to him it's getting beyond ridicolous.

MVP, I still expecting you to come back, pls.

I dont like Rain's play and I think it is overrated. HerO, herO or Jaedong (maybe Parting) would fit better in the top 15, even if not in the top 10, than Rain, imo.

The article is great, specially MVP's part.
The other race is OP

Life dominated two completly different games WoL at the end and Hots. His streaks where cut down by game modifications when Hots came Life was dominating so hard he could won 10 premiers. The same is happining now.

Jesus christ.

I didn't actually know Mvp was that good. I knew he was good, but Jesus Christ.

Incredible Miracle indeed.

Meh... I had expected Life to be number one even though I know everyone fanboys so hard over Mvp just because he was the first great player in SC2. I still think Life has surpassed Mvp and lets not forget that Life is currently the best player in the world.

But since my 2nd favorite player is Mvp, I will allow it.

Well writ! I'm guessing PartinG would be 17th then?

I think your top 10 is spot on. Maybe Nestea could be higher, maybe not.

I think that the part for me which made Mvp the top was actually the fact that he was very much alone, and still impressive.

After that is Mvp’s 1st in GSL Season 2 Code S 2012. There he beat a Top 5 P, Top 10 T, Top 3 Z, Top 5 P, Top 2 P, and the best protoss. In comparison to that I equated this to Life’s Blizzcon and IEM NY runs. At Blizzcon he beat a Top 1 P (though jet lagged), Top 10 P, Top 2 T and a Top 5 T. The format again was better for Mvp and so was the player list. Yes there was prestige for Life, but the era in which Mvp was playing was worse for terran against protoss than it was for zerg during Blizzcon.

In that era which according to you was so bad for Terran, there were 3 T in the top 8 of GSL. How many Zergs were at the top 8 of Life's Blizzcon? That's right, only 1. In fact, Zerg was not just the least represented race at that Blizzcon, it had been the least successful race in all WCS events in HotS up until that point.

"But Squirtle, in one of the greatest moments of SC2’s entire history, vortexed the army and won the game. "

Hmm, I don't really see how an uncontrollable spell can be one of the greatest moments of SC2?
Insane writeup nonetheless! good job Stuchiu!
