Mvp has won more Premier weekend tournaments than any other play! + Show Spoiler + It's some funny ones, but there's WCS EU S1 2013 (Offline playoffs), IEM Cologne, WCG, Blizzcon, MLG Anaheim. I didn't even realize it was the case, but it seems Mvp has more medals than MC, I figured MC would have more top 4's total because he went to every foreign tournament in 2012. | ||

I thought you were making a waxangel joke. turns out you were actually serious and actually believe that Mvp barely attends foreign tournaments, but when he does go he almost always wins or places top 4. in 2013 he went to the IEM world championship(top 4) MLG winter(16th) wcs season finals(top 4) I don't see how you can call that " terrible ".

Code A is still very very good. I also think it's higher than WCS EU in skill. Competing in Code A(making it past the first round) is indeed very good, and probably harder than WCS EU. I'm disagreeing about the qualifiers. I'm not sure if you guys have actually looked closely at the qualifier brackets for the past few seasons, but the brackets are really easy these days because there are fewer players competing for 22~ slots per season. This means that every bracket usually only has two known " good " players. In the WCS AM/EU qualifiers you have to win 6 bo3's in a row and there are only 8 spots to qualify for. JYP recently switched back to KR from AM after failing to qualify for AM Season 1 and he qualified for KR immediately.

Code A is definitely hard but actually qualifying for it is rather easy(this is what he means) for someone like Mvp, you only have to play like 3 series usually, as lots of people no-show or the brackets are empty.

I bet you couldn't even find a player with better weekend tournament results this year if you tried. edit: on second thought if we include WoL Life is definitely better, can't think of anyone else. or maybe losing to sjow and tlo at dreamhack erases the existence of his iron squid and MLG wins? all interesting questions. | ||
