I believe MC has proven himself enough times to be treated with some respect. He is the only person to ever win a GSL (code S) with Protoss, not only that but he did it twice. He has also won more prize money in SC2 then anyone else so I would say he has every right to call himself the overall best SC2 player in the world. He has beaten most if not all of his terran and zerg counterparts that you say he looks weaker then. He is one of the only players to consistently win/do well in tournaments both when his race is doing badly and well. How can you say something like "it's not Mvp's fault that the Protoss race conspired to collective failure during his period of dominance". Part of the reason why MVP (worst match up TvP) dominated was because Protoss were underpowered (Not whine, going by the stats from the winrate graphs) for so long. Protoss is and has been the most played race for a long time, you really think over 1/3 of the SC2 population would conspire to collectively fail...even less likely since they all play the race that has won the least GSL titles and want to shut up biased critics who start convincing themselves that the 1/3 of people who chose to play protoss just happened to be less talented then the 2/3 that didn't. As for PvP coinflip: "PvP is pure skill. Pure micro. If anyone thinks they can win using luck, I will play you and I will beat you." - FXOz...Go play Oz, thx fionn for bringing that quote to light :D Mabye I am interpreting this all wrong due to my complete lack of sleep in which case expect an edited reply whenever I wake up next. If not, please less of the race bias, it takes away from the preview. | ||

His PvT ist just so awesome and I don't see MvP beating him with his injury. lol this is 100% exactly what I was thinking. I really hope naniwa makes it through though | ||

No but seriously Naniwa has trained like never before against the ST terrans and he is possibly in his best form ever. Also he said that he finally have come over his nerve issues in the GSL studio which he thought hold him back before. I think MVP has to bring his A-game if he wanne go through to the next round, and we have not seen that performance from MVP for ~6 months so.. | ||

No zergs left. MVP in a handicapped state. Lots of Protoss left. This is Naniwa's GSL to lose. | ||

Strictly speaking, there's always been a 'best Protoss player in the world.' Even if everyone is terrible, someone is bound to be the least terrible, and thus by definition, 'the best.' That's not to say Protoss players have all been terrible for the last year. MC has been a very capable stand-in for most of that period, winning his fair share of foreign tournaments, but he can't help but look a bit weaker than his Terran and Zerg counter-parts. Luckily for Protoss fans, there happen to be five Protoss players left in this GSL, and with all of them having a good shot at winning the GSL championship, we may very well see a Protoss player who we can all stand behind when we say he's the best in the world. Two of them go head to head tonight What did I just read? Like, is it a free race bashing session covered by some match previews? At least we should have someone less terrible to make those articles. | ||
