Okay it's the truth moment, if he wins this bo3 MKP will probably win the whole thing, beating Mvp will be the biggest momentum he can get.
I'm so worried t;t, wanna see him win so badly

Well, if he wins with MVP, he will still have to play with HerO ( terran killer ) and Nestea. I hope he gets into top 6 !

MKP has a pretty even record with Hero.

Well, he lost game1, cause MVP was ready for the case, that the 2 armies run past each other, with his bunker up the ramp, while MKP wasn't, so he lost the basetrade. And Game 2, well it's easy to say, but I truly believe, Reaper Expand isn't a good strat on a small map like Shattered, where there are so many options for early game pushes and cheeses, cause you really lack of units in the early game, when starting with a reaper, so he picked either the wrong map or the wrong strat. Was very sad to see.
But he played a very good MLG. Even the most of his opponents weren't that strong, he had to play a lot of games, and that's very draining, and then go up against his nemesis MVP, very hard call. Was sad for the terrans as well, since the three best terrans of the tournament and probably the world eliminated 2 of them by themselves. (sC > MKP first, then MVP > sC, MKP > sC and MVP > MKP)

In game 2 his build was perfectly fine, but you have to guess/scout that the opponent is dong this build especially if you expand, in order to bunker up your ramp and attack the hellions asap before critical count. He defended very well against the hellions and the banshee, he really had nothing. These sort of build are forced by the bad mappool but you can't do anything about it. Game 1 he would probably have won/not lost if he stayed in defense but it was some of these random moments you can't really predict.
His run was amazing tho, especially winning an extended series, him, Mvp and Leenock did it beautifully

I remember reading this pretty good MarineKing fan fiction story a while back, anyone have a link to it?

Very nice interview, thanks for the link!

EDIT:
During MKP vs DarCell, MKP used mass Raven/BC to win the game. I can't find the VoDs and I quickly browsed through Beta 1, but I couldn't find it. So does anyone know if this game was casted at all? And if so, do you know whether it was on Beta 1 or 2? Thanks

I don't think it was casted. I think that was mentioned but not casted.

Some pics from Providence

EDIT: I resized the pics as they were tooo large according to TL standards.

Also, I believe these VoDs have been posted yet.. I really believe they should be included in the OP:
