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!


Did you watch the clip/see it live back then? If not I can understand why you say that. If you did, idk, maybe I just remember how tense the entire series was

This is very surprising that Life is #2. It is clear that Life has better achievements and is a much better player than Mvp was. He even defeated Mvp in the greatest GSL final of all time, playing from behind in every game. This article is a direct insult to Life calling him a bad player. Whatever though, Life and other smart people like me know that Life is/was better than Mvp so we don't need some random article to tell us so.

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?


Your trolling is getting weaker and weaker!

He successfully baited Thorin, so I'll give him the W here

as a post-mvp starcraft fan i don't care at all about mvp or any of his accomplishments, and life clearly plays in the more legitimate competitive era

Uncontrollable as in players fighting against vortex can't really avoid it.

While Life is my top choice, its hard to fault anything with MVP at the top. Both are incredible players. As many have said, Life's continued dominance and youth should allow him to surpass MVP through the rest of SC2.

Great write up overall. Love every bit of it.
I have a question...

The fact that everyone knew Mvp would be #1 makes Mvp the correct person to be #1.

Life is fantastic though. He's one of the few players that fans of the other race will tune in and watch.

My prediction was spot on:
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/starcraft-2/482893-lets-vote-on-stuchius-top-10-of-goats?page=3#43

1) MVP
2) MC
3) Life
4) Taeja

One can argue about the order .

Thats like saying "as a post Michael Jordan Basketball fan i don't care at all about michael or any of his accomplishments, and life clearly plays in the more legitimate competitive era"

Even if you didn't watch them play, you must recognize the influence, and the skill and achievemts they had.

That Mvp section was absolutely perfect. I approve of everything.

I think you did an excellent job illustrating the transition of Mvp from being a dominant player into being a repeated underdog. The latter got the proper emphasis it deserved given that that's probably where he became such a beloved player. I always wonder what his legacy would be like if he never did anything after 2011.

The series against Bogus really was like his farewell performance. So fitting that the final game ended with hellion vs hellbat, probably the two trademark units of both players.

Glad to see the King getting his due, there's never been another like him and there probably never will be again. SC2 just isn't nearly as interesting without him around.

Another huge premiere win or multiple smaller ones imo.

GSL, 3SL, Blizzcon, or an IEM WC should do it. Kespa Cup isn't bad either.

I got literal chills from the Mvp section.

Bravo, sir. Bravo.
