Mvp won the 2011 Global StarCraft II League Season 1 championship. The South Korean Terran player, whose real name is Jung Jong-hyun, defeated Hong “Jinro” Jin-ho in the final.
Mvp won the championship during the early period of StarCraft II’s professional scene. His strong Terran play, especially his strategic use of marine-and-tank armies and precise tactical control, made him one of the game’s defining early champions.
The GSL was operated by GOMTV and became one of StarCraft II’s most important recurring leagues in South Korea. Its 2011 seasons helped establish the game’s professional tournament structure before the later global WCS system.
This answer is distinct from the 2012 WCS Global Finals, which were won by another player. The GSL and WCS were related parts of StarCraft II esports but were separate competitions.
