I think at this point MKP is playing WoL by hear and hoping to win his up&downs with sheer mechanics. Which he's capable of, but is not easy at all :'( KTFlash is playing a lot of Protoss on ladder right now, so either a Prime Protoss is using the account, or MKP is offracing, which is not a very good omen . He's losing a lot too. I'll stalk the HotS Prime accounts a bit more in the next days to be sure they don't play too much HotS :D

MKP was playing some times with protoss in wol and was pretty good so he might be doing the same in hots

That would make more sense, but at least until now the Up & Downs have always been at the beginning of the season, not at the end. Last GSL ended 12/1/2012 and the Up & Downs were played in January, as the first games of the first 2013 GSL. That's what makes me believe the next Up & Downs will be part of the next GSL, and what would make it so weird if those games were played in WoL.

yeah but if you consider that up/downs are usually played with the previous season's maps, it makes more sense

MKP should stop playing mech >_>
|
mech is a smarter choice on daybreak than bio. With bio you autlose if the zerg doesn't mess up completely.
|
I don't even remember the last time MKP won a TvZ with mech other than that really weird game against hyun. His bio play is just far stronger overall. Daybreak is pretty in favour of zerg these days but MKP did beat Life with bio on it so I wish he would just not use mech anymore
|
he should continue to use mech to improve it

He's losing a lot too. I'll stalk the HotS Prime accounts a bit more in the next days to be sure they don't play too much HotS :D I am fairly sure that almost every korean pro offrace. I know that the best koreans offrace a ton. Creator famously occupied the three first spots in KR GM with different accounts at some point, one for each race. MC claimed once that his Z is better than his P. It's really smart as it helps you in the matchup vs the race you're playing. MKP can do those new Protoss strategies against other Terrans to figure out how they deal with it in order to learn it himself. Say he proxy oracle other pro terrans 100 times, don't you think that puts him in a good position to defend that same strategy himself? And if he's losing then, that's even better! Marineking also said he was near equal skill level with all 3 races at one point but he played Terran because he thought it looked the coolest. It was back around the time of the Gom All Star match where he beat MMA as Protoss I believe. Also sometimes when he's mad about losing a GSL game he offraces as protoss and 4gates everyone on the ladder for 2 or 3 days. That's what happened after one of his ro8 losses

creator had postions 1/2/3 as protoss only, not one of each race
MKP beat MMA as protoss since MMA let him back in the game lol

Hahaha Choya cracked me up there.... for those who don't know MKP and Choya(hell all of FXO team even) are really good friends... I remember when one time Choya was streaming MKP was behind him and trolling him at their team house...

I forgive you for being forever 0-1 vs Choya

Actually MKP is 6-4 vs. Choya, but in HoTS he is 0-1.
