MKP taking game 4 with an unscouted economic cheese. Brilliant.


Rofl, literally every single thing he does is considered cheese.

BANSHEES = CHEESE
EXPANDING = CHEESE
MACROING = CHEESE
MICROING = CHEESE

Christ.

Last game was the only cheese mkp did this game, I mean yeah possibly proxy banshee as well but that can be effective even if scouted. Bw players should understand.

The double expo was a clever, clever economic cheese. It was amazing play basically.


Taking a third v a FE is safe. See what MVP did on metal. Nothing cheesy at all about it, the 400 resources is negated by the defender's advantage because you know your opponent can't make more than your army + 400 minerals.

Bio is so so so strong. MKP is a fucking beast though. He deserved that one. Such fluid and dynamic play. Jinro's a great player, but he's a great conventional player. MKP is revolutionary, not cheesy. He's playing it perfectly and knows exactly what he can get away with. People need to start recognizing his brilliance and realize that his decision making, timing, and breathtaking risks are AMAZING play, not cheese.

This is like a Terran version of Savior in his bonjwa days. Executing builds with razor's edge timing and having JUST enough units to get away with it every single time. His earlier strength by going bio also allows him to dominate the map and deny scouting, which allows him to get away with his insane double expoing strategy. He does the unconventional moves because he KNOWS his opponent will never see it coming nor know how to deal with it.

In essence, MKP is everything you wish to see in a great RTS player. Nothing but props to him.

This pretty much!
Also JInro so manner and boss!! GL HF for next GSL, man!!

Hahahaha, I feel bad for laughing at that. I really wanted him to win, but he just didn't scout. Two out of three games lost because he didn't scout the gold.

I think MKP is actually handicapping himself by using the same style every game.

I can totally see him being top in the world if he would just practice different styles.


Yea clearly this is his problem what a loser, only top 2.

You act like this one small thing is separating him from winning lmao.

Very awesome series. MKP, despite only using only using marines and mauraders, won through superior positioning and strategy and taking advantage of Jinro's lack of scouting. Which is not to say that Jinro is bad at scouting - it's just that MKP was doing unorthodox moves that haven't really been seen before (or as artosis would put it - "changing the metagame" :p), which broke all of Jinro's timing assumptions.

Jinro was awesome, but he was truly outplayed. At least this time we can be happy the better players won in both semifinals.

Best foreigner Terran though!

yeah MVP will take this, my heart got broken when jinro lost his gold but damn man If only he attacked the production facilities instead of the 3rd expo maybe it would have been different
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

No one is going to watch the Finals....TvT


Are you kidding TvT is probably the most interesting matchup out there.

ZvZ is 20 minutes of visual anesthetic and PvP often (but not always) degrades itself into who can 4 gate better.

Actually anything with T in it can be fairly decent, forgot to address other matchups.

That said I may not watch cos Jinro wont be in it and that makes me sad...

Sure its TvT but with MKP its very different. Think about it a terran player who abuses mobility in TvT, its unheard of. Games usually consist of position wars, but this is refreshing. zerg terran ftw

I seem to be the only one that thinks MKP is really boring to watch. Its not because Im Swedish and I wanted Jinro to win. MKP's style was fun in s3, now its just frustrating. Frustrating that people still cant figure out how to win against it.

Doesn't that say something about how good MKP is?
