More actions and less mistakes??? What are you talking about? MarineKing played pretty horrible. He was lucky to even win one game on DQ. That game on Jungle Basin was not even close the entire time. He let the one proxy gate did way too much damage on BS. I guess MC did not make mistakes but overall that series is onesided. If by beautiful micro you mean the ghost keeps getting picked off by not staying with the army and no cloak is researched then yea.

I totally agree. I hate it when people characterize the first game as just another void ray rush. That was extremely technical. There's no way he could pull it off without amazing micro, always chronoboosting and always ensuring he warped in zealots immediately when the cooldown is up. It's the type of strategy where if you're less than perfect, it won't work.

And it's really so ballsy to be so aggressive against Terran. First of all, it's really hard to attack a fortified Terran. And Protoss really need a big army to win against Terran. Small army battles usually favor the Terran. And because of that you really need to keep your army alive especially sentries to build up energy for forcefields and guardian shields. Yet, he dares to keep up the aggressive pressure on the Terran instead of waiting for a much larger army. It bite him in the ass in the 2nd game but it really shows his confidence in being the better player. And making a second zealot in response to a marauder concussive shells rush??!! A stalker is so much safer but it just shows his confidence in his zealots micro.

He also showed his versatility by going templars and using it well which we don't see of much in GSL. I bet alot of Koreans are out of practise with using Templars. Marine King probably didn't know how to respond. He could have used snipe but he probably had not much practise with it. MC on the other hand seems to good with every single Protoss unit.

He can beat JulyZerg in a macro game, he can outmicro and outcheese MK. I admire these people who have a repertoire of skills rather than players who only know how to play safe or only know how to play macro.
