good interview and even more awesome answers. MKP is no doubt one of the best terran in the world right now with his consistent high performance.

Really nice interview, thank you for doing it.

MKP comes off as a really nice kid that's not got his head in the clouds. Hope to see him go far in SC2.

I really <3 this guy! Always been a huge foxer fan, something about him is just so captivating ^_^. Anyways as long as MarineKing, Jinro, or Idra win this season I'll be very happy.

No it doesn't. Manga is japanese comic. Manhwa is korean comic (and cartoon too I believe). You can say that manhwa means comic, but not manga.

Edit:
To clarify the translation: I believe Koreans use the same word for reading and watching, so it is not clear if MKP meant comic or cartoon.

As much as I hate the guy for only wining with marines, he just can't give me a real reason to hate him. Great interview, MKP is very composed and seems like a really nice guy!


Ha, I feel the same way, although I think I'm getting over the hate for his marine-only play-style. If I had control like him, I'd build as many marines as I could too.

I really like his style, because it's so different. I think he's a lot better than he's letting on, or has the potential to be.


LOL

Not to be a jerk but what exactly is different and likable about making nothing but a 50 mineral unit

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.


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.


What's so wrong about using 90%+ into marines...?

He's already shown to have expanded before his opponents at least once...

He's played quite a few long, drawn out games before...

He does play macro games while using a unit that can hit both air/ground targets...

He pretty much made 2Rax FE as one of the standards...

He's already starting to branch out to include other units... why would he want to practice 50 different things at simultaneously instead one at a time and gradually include them all...
"I fear the man who's practiced one kick 10000 times than the man who's practiced 10000 kicks once."
He's already shown to have slightly better micro in comparison to other pro gamers using the same unit when his opponents are forced into using that one air/ground/50mineral unit...

fear/anxiety/anger/hate doesn't make you more focused/stronger...why the hate...

what more do you want from him anyways? he's already fulfilled everything you listed with the exceptions of primarily using a T1 unit...

look at mc in season3, he excels at destroying terrans with a 15-1 on them...he tries to end the games quick, but he's shown to be just as good at long, drawn out games...

btw, his current and peak ELO are both higher than everyone else's current and peak ELO

An interesting and funny interview by MKP He's not that arrogant like oGsMC is. Furthermore i do really like his games.
And regarding to his 'all-ins' with marines and scvs : I don't think that he tried to do an All-In that much like BitByBitPrime did. MKP expands whenever he can. That's what I have seen so far :p

Nice interview! From watching his games, I didn't really feel anything for him. I was completely neutral, but after reading this interview, I kinda like the guy. Who knows, I might even find myself rooting for him one of these days.

Nice interview. MKP is hated because he refined the 2 barracks opening, and he defined contemporary TvZ. But even if you can use in that way, 2rax is not an all-in opening, in fact, he always uses it to defend a fast expansion.

Having played as Protoss in BW, why did you choose Terran in SC2?
For no specific reason. I heard Terran was good when I started playing SC2 so I chose it.


Huh? thought i read somewhere that it was because of Slayers Boxer

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.


I hope he doesn't stick with it and calls himself BattlecruiserAdmiral some day...

I like this kid, always did, even when he copied this guys name that is a hero of his who also happens to be a gaming legend that is so well known he is a living icon like Michael Jordon ... so at first it was like "..really?" and potentially even borderline awkward in a way.

But I could see he was a nice kid with seriously legit talent of his own.

I'm a Foxer fan.

If its not fun I dont want it.
