Like iloveoov and Fantasy being part of the SKT-Boxer dynasty in BW. Anyway, enough about linguistics. In a sense modern terran play is a descendant of Mvp's play and the use of the word dynasty better reflects this than legacy. You know exactly what he means by the use of the word and that's important thing. Until someone comes along and revolutionizes terran or blizzard changes terran enough to make it no longer relevant, we're still playing Mvp's terran.

Yeah I never consider Taeja the best Terran ever. I consider him a top Terran player for sure, but the best? No, him never winning GSL (don't think he ever made it to the finals either) really hurts him. When he played every event in NA and was dominating, well made sense as he wasn't playing all the best Korean players (I do know he beat them in some of the tournaments, but a majority would be foreigners). | ||

Some of those events were seriously stacked. I think Taeja was just a master of the weekend tournament, his latest interview shows that mindset when he says he plays by instinct instead of planning or something like that. I think his game sense/talent is probably one of the very best and with better pre-game planning he could've well taken a GSL. | ||

How succesful he was and where you rank him in terms of achievements depends on personal criteria but I think when he played at his peak he was the strongest player of all time together with Life at his prime. | ||

Stuchio is 1. a grand TL bias, 2. a grand Terran bias and consequently 3. a grand MVP + Taeja bias. It is getting boring and old. Not worth to read it. | ||

I feel like sc2 took a big hit in popularity when Mvp had to retire. Games were exciting and the competitive spirit was amazing. One of few memorable experiences that are similar lately were MC's return and his Proleague debut as well as Taeja's 2016 GSL s2 ro32 games. Right now, the most similar excitement for watching starcraft on the level of Mvp comes from watching great Terrans in BW games for the ASL. We kind of need another Mvp | ||

Call MVP an 'Emperor' if you want (though the Boxer fanboys may revolt), but he sure didn't leave any dynasty. The title would've made more sense if it was 'Slayers Dynasty'. Trace the history from MMA to Dark. See? New storyline! I think the point is that he's the King of Wings, thereby the word dynasty. | ||

MVP is greater than Flash, Jaedong, Faker etc. I hated Terran, but have to respect him for being on his class of his own when the game was super competitive with players like Nestea and MC etc. | ||

BTW, how many GSL seasons they had during WoL era? | ||

17-24 gsl march code a 2nd gsl may 17-32 gsl super tournament 17-24 gsl july Yes he won that world championship tournament in april, but that's hardly dominating the scene overall when he only had 1 good result in 5 tournaments in the span of these 6 months. In the same time frame Nestea did arguably better than Mvp | ||
