A solid player vs a Bio ball who love base trading...........Why I have see this kind of matches already? I bet marineking will win for sure. It's hard to come up a good strategy to combat his style over night. Plus no body on ladder doing it.

MVP just recently beat MKP 3-1

Erm, do the players get to choose what pose they want for the picture or what? cause the 2nd Winner's picture really doesn't fit his personality I think.

Rather than the race being imbalanced, I just think there are terran favoured maps in the ladder pool. I personally think changing the maps instead of patching the game will make the other races more playable. I think the reason why terrans have done well in the past also comes down to that.

Hopefully people who think the current map pool is balanced will read this part.

great interviews, these guys are getting good at it heh

regarding the finals, i'd sure like to see mkp win, but unfortunately for him he's gonna lose in the finals, AND to an IM player, again

and, as always, thanks for the translations

Thanks for the translations. I feel like this may be the first GSL finals where we see amazing play from both players. Even though MVP beat MKP 3-1 in the Gainward tourney, it seems like MKP's bio terran is improving at a rapid pace. It's gonna be difficult to practice against MKP's style since no other terran does it the same way. At the end of the day, I still think MVP will come through 4-2.

You wont find almost any high level terran players who dont think the maps are a bit of a joke.

Usually something like "can you do this? ok, now this plz. Ok, now free pose". SOooo could be free pose or could be something they asked him to do.

A. I've played countless games against him on the ladder and it's been around 50:50. I think I'll take the final 4:2 or 4:3. Even when we practiced together, he was never an opponent you could just walk-over 4:0 or 4:1. That's why I think it's going to be a difficult victory for me.

What a stupid question. And answer, I might add. No part of the interview suggests any advantage for MKP at all, even his reasoning for winning.

Jinro v MKP spoiler
+ Show Spoiler +

It really feels like JinrO chocked during their matches... he really didn't play to his fullest during the last two matches or he'd be really close to winning. Just check the decition to attack MKPs third (nongold) when JinrO knew he himself was all in and had no backup coming: He should've went for the terran main and he knows it.

Yeah, it seemed a little strange but I guess they just assumed that MKP thought he was going to win. Maybe this kind of winner mentality is prevalent in korean sports/esports.

In no interview you are going to say " I'm going to lose." That's just silly, even if you think so deep down.

True but it shouldn't automatically be assumed that you think you're going to win. I have no problems with MKP's answers but I think the interviewer missed a step when asking that. Oh well, it's no big deal.

MK is a good Terran idk why so many people like to use "well this guy only won cause the other guy wasn't playing up to ability" So many people refuse to give credit to some players -.-
