Either way I wish him the absolute best in his aspirations as a coach, he was a true BW legend and I'm glad he still wants to stick with esports for at least a few more years. I hope he does get the coaching job he wants | ||

The biggest argument against MVP being the greatest Starcraft player was that bw was harder than sc2.. and that if bw players switched to sc2 that they would completely dominate the scene and that players like MVP and Life would look average in comparison, boy were they wrong. People also said Flash would dominate sc2 scene, this never happened. There is no doubt in my mind if MVP didn't have his injuries that he would still be dominating the scene like he was 3 years ago. I also believe that if you were to take MVP in his prime and face him against Flash in his prime that MVP would beat him handily. MVP's 2011 run is unparalleled. | ||

There were 30+ premier WoL tournaments in 2011, if you only go by GSL events MVP made it to the finals of 5/9; there were only 6-9 BW tournaments in 2010 depending on your definition and flash made it to the finals of 7. | ||

Flash had wrist problems as wel for a while iirc. I also doubt MVP would dominate at all. The kespa transition did bring in a lot of very talented players although not the ones we expected. Flash dominated a scene with TBLS (not to mention a lot of other sick players)who are in my mind the best rts players to have ever touched rts. MC and Nestea simply don't compare. | ||

MVP's 2011 run is unparalleled. if you're going to say "Starcraft" meaning SC1 and SC2, these games take different skills. if you want to call the SC2 players the "greatest Starcraft player of all time" when some of the SC1 pros came onto SC2, possibly trying hard to apply Starcraft skills into it with mild success since they don't matter the same in SC2, then I suggest you wait until the best SC2 players prove they can beat the best at SC1 ^ | ||

I read about BW greats when I started SC2, but I didn't try to watch their games (not only Flash but Jaedong etc) except the old stars who switched early such as NaDa, Boxer, WC3 stars Lyn and Moon because I was very active during WoL ; yet the fact that such a great player was still playing sc2 was nice, there was hope that greatness could emerge again, but now there is no hope anymore. Old players go and new come in. Plus, sc2 was a new and different game and comes to show that the difference between a bonjwa and good player was that small as otherwise flash would've owned everyone. I did not watch BW myself but if flash doesn't like the game, then that's ok and better now than later imho. | ||
