This was considered by me as the group of death. But with MC and Marineking playing so poorly in their series, omg. He got really lucky that MC got a very late robo in game3. He really needs to hide his early game better if he wants to play non-standard... letting reactor hellion being scouted is normally gg. oh boy, he really needs to step it up. But maybe he will do better this season. In the first 3 season he was regarded as one of the very favorites but now he settled everyone down and noone will bet on him after this performance. That may put less pressure on the kid :o
He's going to at least Ro8 this season, I can feel it.
Kind of worryingly bad play today..his reactions vs runbys and ling/bane amoves vs the zergs was quite slow, and that's so far from ideal it's not funny, and that marine/tank push on Ohana vs MC was so pedestrian and poorly executed, just didn't look like a usual Mkp 1 base play. But still, when players struggle and just manage to advance I see it as a positive, so often I see this and then it kind of gives them a wakeup call and they come into their own later on, hopefully he can do the same
I feel most confident in his TvT these days, easily. A far cry from 16 months or so ago when he was losing to basically any Korean terran So hopefully a few more Terrans advance!
Wooo MKP coming through in the clutch! Hope he wins OSL and GSL, but I don't want him to win WCG as that's a nothing tournament these days and want him to win IPL instead.

Well he can leave IPL for Creator and grab the WCG title. There should be nothing wrong with that :-)

Not to downplay his wins or anything.. but he played nobody opponents in OSL and WCG. And we can attribute his win over MC in that last game to a big mistake by MC.
Honestly, with 20 kills from the banshee and 1 base vs 2 I don't think it would have changed the outcome at all if MC build a robo bay. He probably could have stopped the push that killed him, but he wouldn't have been in good shape still.

Heh, no I want to see him compete at IPL because I don't really care about WCG as it's no longer a relevant tourney. I'm afraid if he gets to WCG finals he'll skip IPL just cause it's finals of WCG. However, MKP can just get to ro4 next season in GSL as he wouldn't turn down ro4 at IPL 5. Honestly, looking at who is left in WCG, he only needs to win 2 more matches in WCG and I don't see anyone that can stop him. Selfish of me,I know.
