If this were true, then Jjakji is considered a better player than MKP?

Perhaps another prediction wrong?
We'll see.

*I apologize for absentmindedly stating MarineKingPrime was the #1 Terran player in the world in a previous version of this article. Mvp is the #1 player in the world, across all races.

I'd say MKP might have the best micro/ macro, but his decision making/ tactics are pretty terribad.

"Hey, I'm going to make shit loads of stuff and throw it at my opponent and try to make the trade better by microing a bit. Hopefully he'll fuck up in one of the engagements and I can snowball to a win."

It's good if the other player is a good bit worse than him, but that shit don't fly with, say, DRG.

Anywho, Startale (in addition to being my favorite team) has more Protoss, so I say they'll win 5-3.

That's the same mentality that I hate from players like Gumiho and sC. If you actually watch Gumiho's TvZ, it's ridiculously sloppy. Half the time he forgets where he dropped his marines, and they afk idly or attack move into banelings without his notice. sC's style is similar to the Halby build where you just mass reactored marines in small clumps and cross your fingers that you will eventually overwhelm the zerg at some point. To me these styles are not strategic, they're boring and kind of brainless.

The best TvZ still comes from MMA who has some insane multitasking abilities, he pays attention to his drops and hits key buildings and expansions where the zerg cannot easily defend.

I enjoyed MKP's monster macro/micro thing for about one tournament (MLG Spring Arena 1 I think) when it seemed that he would just overwhelm the other side (DRG mostly) with endless armies and amazing micro. It looked so cool. But then you realized, hey, this guy is just making the best of a bad engagement a lot of the time.

Now if only MMA could figure out how to beat Protoss...

Maybe GSL isn't the best at showcasing who the best players in the world are then lol...

Why aren't Sase and Naniwa there for startale?

Game of the night was definitely Alive vs B4.
Alive's TvZ is so impressive, that marine spitting was so insane that it is on par if not better than MKP's.
I haven't been giving alive much credit so far, but he is slowly earning a place in my heart.

Not sure how long you've been following sc2 but when Jjakji won the gsl he was by FAR the better player, MMA and Mvp were the king of Terrans and MKP had no tournament wins and was failing to advance from the ro32/ro16 every season in the GSL.
