After all, in 2012, Mvp got to the finals twice: against Squirtle in the first half of the year, and against Life in the second half. Well, in the first half of 2013, Mvp faced Stephano in the finals... I think the second half of the year will hold yet another finals appearance.  (Except there is no Life in EU, so Mvp won't be stopped!)What do you guys think about LG and IM? (http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=424494) I think I will remove LG from this Fan Club for now. I really hope that Mvp's team isn't in trouble! I added 5 more articles (page 25). | ||

it says:더욱이 e스포츠 선수들은 10대, 20대의 젊은 청년들로 구성되는데 이러한 청년들을 사실상 무보수로 LG라는 팀을 걸고 활동하게 한 것에 대해 LG전자가 제시한 재계약이 이뤄지지 않을 경우 젊은 선수들을 착취하는 행동이라고 판단할 수밖에 없다. means players play games for LG without any payment for months.. well...that sucks... | ||

Mvp has absolutely sick bracket luck. His bracket contains no Koreans (he dodged players like StarDust and ForGG), and even the foreigners in his bracket aren't the absolute best. DIMAGA - I won't deny that DIMAGA is a good player. However, Mvp destroyed DIMAGA last season. Also, Mvp dismantled Ret... I think Mvp's TvZ is still solid against foreigners. He should be favored to beat DIMAGA again. BlinG - BlinG may actually be Mvp's toughest challenge due to Mvp's TvP. He looked terrible against Grubby and HasuObs. Indeed, facing another Protoss is worrying, but BlinG is nowhere near as good as Grubby and HasuObs (in my opinion). Also, are two series enough to determine Mvp's TvP? Probably not, we'll have to wait and see. Honestly, if Mvp were facing another Protoss like MC, NaNiwa, or MaNa, I would be worried, but I think BlinG will be an okay opponent. Beastyqt - Mvp's TvT is actually somewhat of a mystery right now, since he has not played the matchup in a few months. Thinking back to Mvp vs. INnoVation, Mvp's TvT seemed very good with a weakness to Hellbat drops (which have since been nerfed). I think we can simply rely on Mvp's mechanics to pull through in TvT. I added 25 more articles (page 19). Check out 35 new photos from IEM Cologne, 1 new photo from OSL, and 4 new photos from GSL Season 4 2012! Edit: DIMAGA just eliminated BlinG, so we won't have to worry about a TvP anytime soon! 1.5 days remain until Mvp's triumphant return to Premier League!  Mvp's TvZ: 66% DIMAGA's ZvT: 48%Head to Head Record: 3-3 (50%) - DIMAGA 1-0 Mvp @ GSL Korea vs. World 2011 (WoL) - DIMAGA 2-0 Mvp @ WCS S1 2013 EU Ro32 Group Stage (Online) - Mvp 3-0 DIMAGA @ WCS S1 2013 EU Ro4 (1872) Mvp 0-0 DIMAGA (1274) Estimated by Aligulac. Modify. After a disappointing exit from WCS EU S2, the King looks to return to Premier League. Here is an interesting fact: throughout 2011 and 2012, there have been times where Mvp has fallen out of Code S, but he has only played in the Up & Downs exactly once (April 2011). Europe also has its version of the Up & Downs but Mvp will undoubtedly want to qualify for Premier League without complications: directly, through the Round of 16. It's no secret that INnoVation has been terrorizing Soulkey and Polt just crushed Jaedong in WCS AM. It is clear that the metagame is favorable for Terran, but just how good is Mvp's TvZ? Truth be told, it's hard to tell. I will say with confidence that Mvp does not win due to lucky Widow Mine shots - in fact, he is probably one of the most unlucky Terrans in that regard. However, his other skills are certainly up to par, as his games against Ret demonstrate. He won game 1 by simply out-multitasking Ret, while game 2 was won by early game Widow Mine drop strategies. Admittedly, that does not really tell us how he would fare in a "standard TvZ" (Biomine vs. Ling/Bling/Muta). How good is Mvp's TvZ? With the memory of a disastrous 0-6 against Korean Zergs online fresh in our minds, the answer remains unclear. Despite this, his TvZ is still probably good enough to take care of business here. Prediction: Mvp 2-0 DIMAGA | ||

Here is a recap of the games (spoiler-ed in case you want to watch for yourself). Game 1 + Show Spoiler + Long turtle macro game. Newkirk Redevelopment Precinct Mvp opens CC first into 3CC 2Ebay while DIMAGA quickly takes 4 bases. Mvp's first Hellions get caught by Zerglings and die. Mvp attempts a Marine/Mine push, but the latency was noticeable. Casters kept lagging the game, it was pretty much unplayable. Mvp's push got steamrolled, Ultralisks came out for DIMAGA. Mvp retreated, took his side of the map, and turtled up with PFs in the middle of the map. DIMAGA played passively, trying to deny some bases of Mvp. DIMAGA ended the game with a 10k+ bank. Mvp attempts a BC transition with tons of Ravens, DIMAGA spots it and makes tons of Corruptors. Mvp tries to take the bottom base, DIMAGA attacks. Seeker Missiles hit the Corruptors too late and all the BCs die, DIMAGA remaxes instantly. Watch the first ~15-20 minutes for a showcase of how bad KR-EU lag can be! DIMAGA 1-0 Mvp Game 2 + Show Spoiler + Bel'Shir Vestige SE Mvp opens 1rax expand, DIMAGA hatch first. Mvp cleverly hides a Starport and goes for Cloak Banshees with Hellions. All of his Hellions die to Zerglings again, but Cloakshees do lots of damage (kill almost 20 workers). Mvp takes a 3rd and starts a stream of Biomine towards DIMAGA's 4th. DIMAGA tries to defend but Mvp leaps ahead, up 30-50 supply. Mvp shows some decent control despite lag. DIMAGA's 4th goes down. Mvp pushes into DIMAGA's 3rd, DIMAGA can't hold. Mvp 1-1 DIMAGA Game 3 + Show Spoiler + Neo Planet S Mvp opens with Reapers, DIMAGA opens gasless 4 queens. Mvp pushes with about 2 reapers, 4 hellions, and a medivac with 2 hellbats. The hellbats find a great position and roast all of DIMAGA's lings. Mvp completely denies mining in DIMAGA's natural and kills off DIMAGA's double evo chambers. DIMAGA finally gets roaches and pushes Mvp back, but Mvp comes back with Marauders and kills DIMAGA's 3rd. Ling runby into Mvp's natural is shut down with a wall + 5 Hellbats. Meanwhile, Mvp has 5rax and 3OC... Mvp goes in for the kill. DIMAGA has one last stand with roach/hydra, which crumbles to hellbat/marauder/marine/medivac. Mvp 2-1 DIMAGA The lag was certainly worrisome, but Mvp pulls through with some good play! | ||

 I have added VODs from Mvp vs. DIMAGA. Watch game 1 if you want a showcase of how bad lag can be. Watch game 2 if you want to see Mvp crush a Zerg with a Mine push. Watch game 3 if you want to see a 1-sided hellbat stomp like the WCS EU S1 days.  I have added 30 more articles (page 7). Also, check out one new photo from WCS EU S1! | ||

Mvp is going to a fan event in Sydney, I am so jealous of those who can go meet him  I have to wait until Blizzcon and even then It's not any kind of guarantee I will get a picture or anything. | ||
