I didn't know about Starcraft during Mvp's reign, I am so late to the party that I didn't see him play. Still enjoyed the read =)

Stuchiu so great and famous he even has haters!

Oh man you missed out. MVP is easily my favorite Terran and was sad he just retired. One of the very very few non zergs I liked and would even root for him against Zergs (rare for me to do! They couldn't be my favorite zergs though ).
When I think of something else, something will go here

Kinda short, and I somewhat agree with the criticism (did he really dominate 2012?)

Honestly, for an article titled "The MVP dynasty" (instead of "Mvp dynasty"...), I expected more about his breakthrough in how to play Terran, in how he was emulated and copied, how he is the only guy with 4 GSL wins (I think?), etc...

He could just not write a new article until something comes up instead of recycling a topic he's already extensively covered.

Besides, I'm pretty sure stuchiu still has articles about other topics done that haven't been released yet.

There is always a story to find. If you are skilled enough (i think stuchiu is) you should be able to connect the dots to a meaningful story, even if it isn't about an era of dominance.

I will quote my last post and hope someone bites, because i would be interested to see some other opinions on that :>

I don't understand how you can define 2012 as part of Mvp's reign tbh. You could even make a point about some poor performance in 2011, but i don't wanna go that far.


If you are only looking at his results, I agree... Mvp was not particularly dominant in 2012. but I can't stress enough how much he shaped the meta in that time. 2012 is the year Mvp pioneered and developed mech vZ. he destroyed all the patch zergs at IEM Cologne, despite the advantage of infestor/brood lord. Mvp almost beat Life with his mech style in the S4 GSL finals.

even though Mvp's mechanics were inferior to most players in code S, he still managed to get 1st and 2nd place. every terran player was copying his builds and tactics right until the end of WoL. his understanding of the game was light years ahead of every one else. well experienced and an expert in mind games... strong mentality that never weakened under any situation... a man who had the balls of steel to 2 rax bunker rush in a GSL finals... that is why Mvp is called king of wings.


Well yeah i hink results are kinda important tbh :D I am not saying he didn't do anything in 2012, but i don't see how it would ever count as part of his dominance. I think that statement is quite absurd.

I also don't agree with "innovations" being a factor because it's hardly tangible. All we can say is if a player was succesfull with a particular style, giving credit on top of that for something we have no idea about is questionable imo.

At the end of the day you need results, Mvp had some good results in 2012 but not nearly good enough for it to be called dominant i think.

The funny thing is if we look at 2011 you could argue that he didn't really dominate the whole year either, considering that after his GSL win in January he had rather poor results till august (yes he won that wc thing, but the rest wasn't that amazing)
So just from looking at the results in liquipedia i could even say this: Mvp was dominant Agust 2011 - January 2012. 6 months


Is that too hard of a judgement? Why?

Yeah MVP's reign was in 2011- he's only the greatest player because he managed to defy all odds again and again in his career after that- such as his GSL win, 2nd place to Life, and that one WCS run he did in 2013 where he beat innovation.

But his accomplishments in 2012 are the anomalies in that year- which makes them special. He was not dominating by any means.

I watched SC2 since beta reguarly and heavily up until late 2013, so I remember all the relative strengths of players at different times. I feel like I've been reading a lot in the few things I read now on teamliquid which are trying to repaint the past in a more romantic light.

Also can we remember that even though I might say that during one timeframe no one has dominated as much as MVP ( and that might be true)- let's not forget that while he was great in TvT and TvZ during his reign in 2011 his TvP was always mediocore and that's where he often lost.

Not trying to offend here, but it really detracts from the quality of the article when there are so many grammatical mistakes. It makes it seem like a 2nd rate effort was given.

I disliked MVP so much back then but I accept him now. I wish he could've been able to practice like he wanted. In my opinion, it's true, no one dominated like he did. He was on another level.

No i am looking to argue about the statements made in the article instead of either saying "wow stuchiu you are the best" or "wow stuchiu you suck"
I am not interested in either of those two tbh


I don't think there is any value to these articles if it isn't dicsussed afterwards, stuchiu's word isn't inherently correct/wrong.

Do you also hold that opinion for novels? Poems? Textbooks? Of course people find value in reading.

I miss him from the scene. I miss how you usually saw something new when you watched one of Mvp's series. Then you saw every other terran doing it. I miss how he crushed MarineKingPrime's dreams almost effortlessly, denying him every time they met. I miss his tenacity, it always made for the most exciting games. He had (and subsequently has) no equal. He reigned supreme as the King of Wings. His team shirt heavy with GSL gold champion pins.

Thanks for the reminder Stuchiu. Oh yea, also I remember when his physical condition wasn't great he just busted out the multi cheese in every series to win a GSL, that was pretty epic.

Ah we may never see his like again.

oh i forgot to mention how much I loved that he was still ridiculously good even when the Terran race wasn't, he was like a meta machine forging his own way
