And I think that the most Kespa Terrans can easy keep up with his mechanics, probably not with this micro, but the macro and multitasking for sure and everyone who played BW and followed the BWscene a bit will agree with this. | ||

Anyway, as I stated once, I wish there were b.net profiles linked to each post so I could know who's stating what. I.e. someone in Diamond thinks MKP has bad mechanics - then I would not even reply or try to argue about it. Not implying you are, but it would be so much better. And fty I am 950 points in masters on NA with T, sure far from pro but def no bronze around here. Fangirl of MKP? Maybe  | ||

I doubt this does matter and i also think that you don't know much about BW, since you seem new to the scene. I think MKP has great mechanics, but there are several players wich have better mechanics, but lag at other aspects. In the end i don't wanna discuss this, cause MKP is an awesome player no matter whether mechanics, strats or simply his proclivity to make crazy decisions. | ||

Half of the kespa players have better mechanics than him, wich is not suprising if you see how hard they practice. MKP is my favorite player by far, but i'm no little fangirl who thinks MKP is the best player, cause he is not. Last GSL the players said MKP would be one of the easier opponents in the GSL. Then you have no idea what mechanics are lol. I saw MKP launching his 3-3 upgrades at the right timing despite being in a battle with the sound of dying units and stuff, he always profuces in time despite no tapping which is far more impressive than people who macro well with 50% redundancy APMbecause that means he doesn't queue up despite looking at his production tabs a lot less. I won't talk about his control because many people have commented on it, his storm splits vs PartinG with his marines oriented comps are ridiculous and almost only TaeJa has displayed such control but not for a long period of time (his last series are painful to watch what happened to you TaeJa?). The fact alone that you want to compare mechanics between players of different races is... | ||

SICK mechanics, never floating any minerals at all. I don't quite get why people say KeSPA players mechancis are better, they may practice a bit more, but I'm pretty sure that MKP doesn't just sleep all day, and while playing 14 hours a day can give you good mechanics, the same can be said for 6-8 hours a day. | ||

I will watch it when I have the time, didn't even know he was in the prime house ><. | ||

Funny how he completely rolled Stephano the one game where he did something different. I think his main weakness right now is being too predictable. He "rolled" Stephano because of the big lead he got after the early game, the casters may have said it was even or ahead for Stephano, but the worker count was even when MKP got his 2nd CC up. Stephano was in the position every terran is at the start of a game, when the worker count is even at 6, do I all in, go tech greed, eco greed or both forms of greed? Stephano chose the wrong type of greed and just got even more crippled by the follow up attack from MKP, after that it was just a rallying of units untill Stephano died. | ||

Strange, I figured he was just hiding builds against ret and xlord, but he just used the same 1 rax FE into mech, and then the CC first into 3CC's. I would have liked to see that build he used against Goswser in their first match set 2. It was very Polt-inspired and just abused the crap out of greedy Zergs.
