He should be able to snag a gsl win sometime in the future. Hes young, and hes shown hes capable of pushing his race to the limits.
Even if he doesn't win another WoL tourney, I expect him to abuse experiment with the new units/mechanics that come with the expansions.
+ Show Spoiler +Just against MVP imho. They're much too close methinks. But anyway, I voted MKP though I felt MVP was going to win. Still, 4-2, not bad. MKP gogogogo! He'll be champ yet mark my words. Esp. since MVP is in code a now. Hehehehehe.
Next season MKP has a great chance to win the GSL, MVP is not in the competition and he can take out anyone else. GL!

That last game just came down to two errors... so close.. MKP fight on!

I don't know what he was thinking the first game  if he had won that he would've had a huge confidence boost, same with game f5 which should have been his oh well, I doubt it's his last final He would have won Game 1 if it wasn't for that Marine. I've said it before, I'll say it now - MK is at his best during the mid-early late game. But I wouldn't worry about it, he'll get better eventually. Hell he's improved so much it's impressive. SlayerS had to throw half the team before they could take down MvP, most players never win vs him and here MKP just showed us that MvP ain't invincible in TvT.
Yeah ;p if only he had scouted before going down, he would've had that and the game with the tank so it'd be 4-2 for him
Ah well, GSL finals 3 out of 6 of the individual events so at this rate he'll win eventually!

Kong sc2 line begins with MKP

thanks~

im confident that mkp will win at least one gsl this year. MKP FIGHTING!
|
This got buried in the game thread last night. Thought it was appropriate for the fan club!

Alright, I just watched game 3. Amazing game!!! After seeing that game, I don't mind the 4-2 at all.  Foxer marines owning BCs. Hehehehe. I don't care what Artosis says, MKP's style works. He just has to refine it and instead of going pure marines mix it up with mech. Is there a way we can send him a shoutout? MKP don't be sad. Baby steps is fine.
step 1- beat MC
step 2-become gsl champ (this season since mvp's not here)
step 3- beat MVP!!!
then he can retire. or not. lolololol.

So many silvers.

Dont worry, he still is making some questionable decisions, but im pretty sure he is going to win GSL MAY

I think MKP needs to work on his decision making and just... play better.
But that one tank... omg. That one tank.

You know, the only time he has ever hesitated and made questionable decisions was when he fought MVP. The only time I've seen him rattled was also when he fought MVP. If he gets over MVP's psychological effect on him (MKP thinks MVP's the greatest terran) and plays like he usually does, I think he can win it. And this finals series has shown that. Oh, but he does need to get used to drops though.

Made some tweaks to the 2 Rax Concussive Shell Timing Attack just to make it clearer, and figured out two more builds from studying the GSL WC VODs. Should be accurate, but hopefully I'll have some free time to practice the builds and confirm the exact timings.
Any suggestions on how to go about writing out MKP's macro builds? I noticed that even with something like his 2 Rax FE, the timing of the buildings after 20 supply or so often changes, depending on how harass is going, etc. It's easy enough to see the sequence of things and the resulting, as Day9 would put it, "look" of the build but there's a lot of variation...
=============================================================================
MKP 2 Rax Concussive Shell Timing Attack
10 Supply Depot
12 Barracks => Scout
13 Refinery => Saturate
14 Barracks (Maka/Proxy)
15 Orbital Command (@ 100% 1st Barracks)
15 Reactor (1st Barracks, @ 100% 1st Marine)
15 Supply Depot
15 Tech Lab (2nd Barracks, @ 100% 2nd Barracks)
24 Supply Depot
32 Supply Depot
* Cut SCV Production @ 14 Supply
* Pump Marines + Marauders
* Resume SCV Production @ 19 Supply
* Research Concussive Shell
* Pull 2 SCVs From Gas @ 20 Supply for Timing Push
* Attack With 3 SCVs + 3 Marines + 1 Marauder
* Build Bunker in Opponent's Base
* Rally Reinforcements to Opponent's Base
Other Notes:
1. Terran vs. Protoss
2. Close Positions by Air on Metalopolis
3. Scouted Gateway + Cybernetics Core + 2 Assimilators
=============================================================================
MKP Thor Rush All-In
10 Supply Depot
12 Barracks => Scout
13 Refinery => Saturate
15 Orbital Command (@ 100% Barracks)
16 Supply Depot
18 Factory
19 Refinery => Saturate
20 Reactor (Barracks)
21 Supply Depot
22 Armory (@ 100% Factory)
22 Hellion
28 Tech Lab (Factory, @ 100% Hellion)
31 Supply Depot
34 Thor
40 Supply Depot
45 Supply Depot
45 Thor
* Deny Scouting With Marines
* Pump Marines From Barracks
* Cut SCV + Marine Production @ 34 Supply
* Resume SCV + Marine Production After 1st Thor
* Cut SCV + Marine Production @ 45 Supply
* Resume SCV + Marine Production After 2nd Thor
* Attack With 13 SCVs + 13 Marines + 1 Hellion + 1 Thor
* Rally Reinforcements to Opponent's Base
* Use SCVs for Repair
* Use Hellion to Attack Opponent's SCVs
Other Notes:
1. Terran vs. Terran
2. Scrap Station
3. Scouted Barracks + SCV Going to Natural
=============================================================================
MKP Faked 1 Rax FE Into 2 Rax Timing Attack
10 Supply Depot
12 Barracks => Scout
14 Barracks (Proxy)
16 Orbital Command (After 1st marine)
16 Supply Depot
20 Supply Depot
* Wall-Off Ramp With Barracks + 2 Supply Depots
* Attack With 4 SCVs + 4 Marines
* Build Bunker in Opponent's Base
* Rally Reinforcements to Opponent's Base
Other Notes:
1. Terran vs. Terran
2. Crossfire SE
3. Scouted Orbital Command + Barracks + Refinery

Sad to see another silver for him. O well, next GSL season is his. <3
|
Add me! Sad about his loss. Although with MVP in code A, MKP is arguably the best player in code S right now.

How come i'm not in this club yet?

Since my post was suggested to be popped on here and the thread was being drowned, I'm posting it here. This was my reply to those who said he cried too much in games (after the MKP vs MC first two games, then final)

Imagine yourself joining a public scene, and you move under the spotlight instantly. You suddenly have lots of fans, people giving you names, lots of foreign people cheering you on, and close family/friends supporting you. You do well, you believe you can be the best, and people tell you so. Then you start doing bad. You lose on public scenes. You try to do well but you know people are disappointed. You are disappointed. Forever 2nd.
You don't give up.
You practice hard, you practice harder. In VODS of the Prime house interview, I never even saw him raise his head once. Just kept practicing, kept practicing, you have to do well.
World Championship now, RO4. And you lose 2 embarrassing games. Very very embarrassing games, in front of the whole world, millions watching. If it was me, I wouldn't just cry, I'll probably go kill myself. The amount of effort, the pressure, and you get raped like a child in front of millions, defenseless and countered at every turn.
Then you tell yourself you didn't make it this far to give up, you have to win, you WILL win.
Then you win three FANTASTIC games in a row when the rest of the world believed you to choke and die. You believed you'll choke and die.
You are overwhelmed.
People don't realize that many of these pro players are just kids. They are teenagers/young players trying to prove themselves. Even in other professional sports scene, older players will break under the amount of pressure.
Why can't he cry? This isn't a game to him. This is probably more than life and death to them. That is the kind of attitude that makes you better.
"Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I'm very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that."

^: good post, his implication is understandable.
MarineKing can definitely take the GSL May!
MVP is in code A and players are less afraid of MC, I think that the hardest thing will be get out of BO1 groupstages (Alicia is very very good in PvT so it'll be very hard, and NaDa and Zenio are good so BO1 against a good opponent is always hard :/), then there is nobody left that can't be beaten by MKP in BoX!
