So rewarding to see that ridiculous base trade get crushed. If you have to base trade, it is the sure sign that you are either being out played or that your strategy is flawed.

No, he's actually abusing the immobility of Tanks

Fuck. MarineKings play is so damned infuriating.

"I'm loosing my base. What should I do? Should I defend it?

Nah, I'll just base trade"

I'll just run my doomdrop into missile turrets"

He's like a snake. Guy refuses to play you straight up, he will find any way he can to base trade.

Ugh, go Jinro!

That seems like a compliment to me.

That was such a good first game. Surprised that Artosis and Tasteless didn't mention how similar Jinro's strategy was to oGsTop's vs ZenexByun the other night.

Jinro really studied MKP's style thoroughly. MK's ridiculously good marine micro and dropship play is what allows him to get away with infantry heavy style in TvT. Jinro answered that with turrets and sensory towers.

Despite doing the perfect counter to MKP's gameplay, MKP's persistence and surgical strike style is truly scary, perhaps comparable to Flash's insane combacks in TvT to a minor degree.

Many forumers here are actually retarded. They all comment on how MarineKing can only trade bases, not win in proper battles. This is Starcraft, it's a freaking strategy game. MarineKing is abusing the fact of mobility of marines to pull himself back into the game, which is the best possible option he has, given the helion drop and banshee harress. That's what makes him a good player. It's not that he wants to base trade every game, but the way the game plays out, it is the best option he has.

So HATERS CAN CONTINUE TO TROLL, BUT GET THIS INTO YOUR HEAD.

Wow! Just another awesome TvT game.

Feel pretty sorry for all the TvT haters. Get over it, folks!

Get over yourself. People who have opinions that you don't agree with aren't by default wrong.

Can be the best TvT on the planet, some people won't like it. Not their style.

I'm not sure if there's an eye-rolling emoticon. If there is, pretend i just put it in. ^^

Why are people so blind?

Marineking left some rines/ lots of tanks to defend the push from jinro... basically jinro could not attack into the tankline defense of marineking (tanks on tanks is retarded) and MKP knows that his bio ball is better off in his opponents unseiged base than at his own tankline, waiting to die slowly.

Agreed, thanks mods, please work your magic on all the veiled/subtle whining as well, don't let them outsmart you :o

Steppes is a strange TvT map, really makes a lot of TvT builds not viable.

I remember an ancient game of TLO vs Brat_OK that ended up in a split map and uber nukes from TLO .. hope it heads that way :D

It's actually pretty amazing that MKP can flip such a disadvantaged position, to one he can win. I dunno about you, but I admire that.
I wish I could do that in ladder....

They would have gotten crushed and done no damage if MKP sent his marauders in front of his marines. That and the 2 mules put MKP so far behind, he lost that game, Jinro didn't win it.

Sometimes I wonder if MKP concentrates mainly on marines just for his names sake...because when he was known as foxer he was a little more diverse, and in that case, would've held off the banshee harass much better =/
