reminder that mvp battles through gross imbalance and excruciating nerve pain to feed his starving family.

It's either that or a working an office job.

[PhoenixPause]

Zerg get baited into the absolute worse ZvT engagements on this map (Metaopolis)

[Won]

MVP must have a "spawn medivac with marines at enemy base" button he hits everytime Nerchio attacks.

[syllogism]

MVP is so much better than nerchio

[fanboi]

MVP is insane...
Jesus christ.

[Aaron]

MVP wins yet another tournament. *yawn*

[TheThunder]

Tarson would drop his pants to the knees if MVP just breathed his way.

[ghst]

terran is dominating - mvp wins tournaments.
protoss is dominating - mvp wins tournaments.
zerg is dominating - mvp wins tournaments.

his parents must be obese by now.

Dem ESL hosts.

[Haunted]

Well played by MVP, another small paycheck heading his way.

[Deadman]

Damn these imba zergs winning every tournament

[(._.)]

completely forgot the TSL4 is on going :S

MVP, closest thing to if not bordering on Bonjwa in SC2?

[Zzoram]

TSL4 has no interesting names left. Maybe Sting because he's teamless.

[Keikaku]

This was a neat play from Calm (Z) in the SPL yesterday: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d2NNmY36XA

SPOILER WARNING FOR SPL FROM LAST NIGHT
Watch the horrible quality VOD and skip to 6:45 to see it start.

EDIT: This is an SC2 game, by the way.

He's won so many tournaments I'm not sure if anyone can argue against his bonjwa status.

[PhoenixPause]

MC probably second on that list in terms of winning* but you're right, MVP remains the most dominant SC2 player ever. He's only 22 also, so if he can continue recovering from his injuries he could have a few more major championships in the next couple years. Hell now that there are more SC2 tournaments in Korea, MVP will probably dominate even more.

*Nestea has more GSL wins than MC, but I'd put him behind MC here simply because he hasn't won nearly as many tournaments overall

I wish I could understand Korean, then I would just watch engine and crew's casting instead of listening about nerds getting/not getting bopped.

Blame Tasteless, not Artosis. Replacing Tasteless with Wolf would create the best, most analytical casting in SC2. Tasteless adds nothing, constantly seems to be unprepared or speaking in generalities, and clearly does not play the game. Obviously you don't need to play SC2 to cast well (look at Total Biscuit) but the very best casters play. All he does is declare players bad, point out "horrible" mistakes that wind up being irrelevant, and repeat the same jokes he's been doing since season one.

But he looks good so he still wins.

[Sliver]

Spectator Client for the upcoming International 2 Tournament. You can watch the tourny in game with team and broadcaster audio, if you please. Everyone on Steam got it.

[Yoshichan]

When and where was it?

[Corran Horn]

Recco has so many ultras...

[Zzoram]

That Korean twitter cast is fucking awesome.

I want to understand Korean.

If Nerchio is a mediocre Zerg, I don't want to know what choice words syllogism has for JonnyRecco. Terrible performance against Keen just now.


RIP TSL4

tournament is such a bust. should've followed the iron squid model and had a live event for the last four in one evening.

I can't believe how hyped I was for TSL 3, watched every match, screencapped every splash screen (I've still got the folder)... and TSL 4 does nothing for me. I've seen a handful of games by accident, and they were uniformly terrible, played by B-tier pros I don't really know nor care for.

Really skirting the "premier tournament" cutoff.

[Zzoram]

It's not really TSL4's fault that all the big names failed to qualify or got knocked out by scrubs early on.

I just tuned in and it's 3-3. Was he playing really poorly in the first few games?

[Holden]

GG's MVP, my second favorite SC2 player. Pray for those wrists to hold out from all dat multi-tasking.

[Stephen_drewz]

Yayay MVP. Pretty enjoyable tournament over all. Wonder if ill actually play the game this weekend or just spend the entire time watching another 1(or multiple) tournaments. Lol.

It'd say that, but that's not the problem. English just does not sound as "exciting" as Korean and none of the English casters bar maybe Day9, Moletrap and Apollo really sound like they're having a blast casting and really enjoying the game. Maybe Wheat too, but Tasteless and Artosis always sound half dead.

All we need now is CC that can read twitter feeds.
