MKP's style is that he really has no style. He adjusts to whatever situation is given to him. If you think his base trade playstyle will continue to exist for the next couple of months, I'd say think again. He will only continue to refine his play and outthink you

I don't think he lives there at all.

Nah, they'll both find a way to fail with getting the gold.

Constant draws ends up with the referees having to cancel the game. No one is declaired a winner.

Something like that, ya. :D

I dont think he is that rich that he doesnt need 47k or whatever is the prize for 1st place.

Damn there's a lot of complaining about sieging. The fact is MK built a ton of medivacs so he can stim and move around at will. He'll engage, kill Nada's bio and retreat/load up in medivacs as soon as the tanks begin to siege. MK only engages while Nada's army is moving around so Nada never had a chance to use siege.
Marines > everything

NaDa admitted that he barely trains, if think he just didnt have enough experience of those situations and didnt played them well.

But yea I don't think MKP's style is really good, definitly have some huge weaknesses.

im pretty sure with MKP's style, he is now the #1 base trader in tvt in the world ez
im positive he faces a vastly superior tank/marine army every single game and just side steps it and forces a base trade as the only remaining tactic

this shit is seriously ridiculous and needs to stop. eventually people are going to catch on to this


How do you catch on to it? Tanks are slow, it'd take them forever to get back to defend the main, and if you unsiege Foxer can stim and kill your tanks.

Yeah Jinro can't go into the MKP series thinking it'll be a standard macro game, prepare for base trades and have a mobile army to counter his. If jinro does use siege tanks, hes gotta use them extremely carefully or MKP will just straight up stomp him.

Its gonna be hard, his style is very hard to beat, You either have to play the same style and do it better or play a flawless siege tank/marine comp which is alot less forgiving than pure bio.

Bolded for the truth. Siedge takes some time and then they are defenceless. Nada didnt make a mistake in game 3 by going without siedging. He was in no position for immoblive siedge push. He knew that if he had done it MK would just run by him or into him masacring his tanks.

People asking for NaDa/Terrans to try and defend, slow expand against this type of Marineking play are looking at it wrong.

Terran plays slow/ defensive and Marineking will take more bases, a lot quicker. He will make overwhelming amounts of units and/ or make MORe TANKS than the defensive, immobile terran.

Basically, Marineking's style is more legit than people give it credit for.

However, a strong 2 base push with some bunkers and a few tanks back home i think would kill Marineking before he gets too big.

The question I really want answered that Artosis didn't ask is "what kind of challenges does MarineKing face in his regular life due to his giant, giant balls?"
And isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick: rational thinking; but, when you're good and crazy, ooohoohoohoohoooo, the sky is the limit!

People underrate MKP so so much. The dude is the most innovative and creative player I've seen so far. He fricking nuked a hatchery 3 times in his first game against a zerg on LT and he's playing around with Battlecruisers in his practice. The dude's got some serious strategies but sticks to what's working for him and is safest and most solid. And he will kill you with mere marines if he can ... if he can't he's still not at a loss like a one-trick-pony would be.

Couple of things that would've helped Nada against MKP:

Vikings (completely wipe out MKP's buildings during the trade).

Planetary Fortress (good vs. marines).

Using the gold as your new base instead of your opponent's natural.

If Jinro is as good as I think he is, I believe he will learn from Nada's mistakes and be able to pull out wins in the same situations.

So are you saying ppl cant complain about so many terrans makeing it each time and still enjoy the game?....

I am saying i cant keep up with the crying, a few days ago it was that protoss was IMBA,

Given that terran hasnt won a GSL yet its a bit ripe.

I play protoss, just getting sick of all the crying its like an MMO forum at times.


If anyone made the argument that protoss was IMBA because they made their first and only GSL semifinal they were idiots. Blizzard didn't just buff toss because they were overpowered.

With terran on the other hand the argument is legit. In every GSL more than 1/3 of qualifiers have been terran. In every round of every GSL more than 1/3 of players have been terran. They have made every final. The total GSL semifinalists over the first 4 seasons have been 15 terran, 3 zerg, 2 protoss. Thats ridiculous.

Just went back and watched Jinro vs MKP and I think Jinro's chances are quite good.
