Because he actually has the talent to use a 50 mineral unit to beat other top players in the world.
You try it.
MKP overall knows exactly what he is doing. He knows that eventually marines are going to be insufficient so he is branching out, I've no doubt he will continue to do good in the future.
And good shoutout to Mvp.A good player should know when someone else is more solid or more well-rounded.

Others don't play this way, therefore it's different. And it takes a lot of skill to win this way - if it was easier than playing standard, you'd see a lot more people do this. Foxer is one of the few people who can pull it off.
Not to mention his first game in the GSL was a nuke rush. That was pretty baller

Marineking is right now the highest on the ELO rank, and has the highest ELO peak ever, AND is on a 10 win streak. It might be just that people ignore team league results (MKP has a reverse all-kill on oGs, a 3-0 in the same tourney, and an all-kill in the Gisado race v race tourney) but I think MVP is a little over hyped, plus MKP got to the Finals... MVP did not. A tleast most people will agree that they are both 1 and 2.

MKP is so humble, not like other progamers.....

NEXPuzzle all-killed oGs too (ensnare,mc,cezanne + someone), though they seemed to be offracing so maybe they dont take it very seriously

Ending the game with SCVs and marines isnt a show of skill. Its what people do to hide their lack of skill.
If you were a progamer who practiced the ins and outs of the game everyday and were actually good, why would you want to play like that? The point of playing standard macro games is that you are given more opportunities to outplay your opponent.
Why do you think people would prefer to throw marines and scvs at Idra rather outplay and make better decisions than him? Because theyre worse than him and they know it. Jinro plays standard because Jinro doesnt need to rely on 5 minute gimmicks to beat Idra.
Stop trying to justify this terrible way of playing. The fact that Foxer was almost crowned the best SC2 player in the world a few months ago is nothing short of a joke.
If hes trying to branch out and actually play good games, then good for him.

MKP hater warning.
Haters blame MKP for not playing macro game, ignoring the fact that he always expand ahead of his opponents and have more SCVs more supplies than his opponents.
Haters blame MKP for using SCVs to defend, ignoring the fact that both Jinro and MKP defended with SCVs at the end of the game.
Another proof that: haters will never stop hating no matter what.

What a stupid post. I'm hating on his play in previous seasons. If hes actually trying to branch out then cool. If he wins while doing it, good for him, he's a good player.
And i was actually referring to him pulling scvs for offensive purposes, quite often.

The ****? Few things:
1. MarineKing hasn't used this since GSL2, GSL3 he mixed Marines/Marauders and pushed for a longer game. And when MK did it was fresh and impressive.
2. He didn't use only that in GSL 2 either, he sometimes banked on 2 base marine play (the game on Shakuras Plato vs Zerg).
3. The last game he played he went for a tank push into marine drop vs Jinro.
4. The dude is playing a solid 2 base game, all-iners don't do that.
5. He held an all-in after FE... how the hell do you do that?
Seriously, don't hate on the guy just because he popularized a strategy (then again you guys hated on  iloveoov, so meh...)

Yeah? If you have ''more skills'', how could you get defeated constantly by the "lack of skills" player like, as you said, MKP?

Thanks for posting this. I really like him and wish him the best.
Some of the answers are really lol - esp about marines. I like his sense of humor.

Sorry, you are completely uninformed. Please watch his games. Foxer did so much for the TvZ matchup, he did not only play scv marine all-ins. That's just wrong.
He was also the first one who played 2rax-FE in a televised game, what is now pretty standart.

Funny interview  Love his humbleness too! A shame he didn't go for FoxeR, but MK does suit him and I'm hoping he'll just stick with it really.

Foxer, along with Boxer and Jinro, is the Best!! ;]
Hope for Jinro vs Foxer in the semifinals, and winner wins the GSL
