Not to undermine MKP's skill, but I do still think Jinro is the stronger player. A lot of MKP's play seems to rely on many gimmicks (sneaking the gold expo game 2, weird proxy play in game 3, double expand game 4, and trying to force a base race in general). It seemed like Jinro put a lot more thought into his play. I think you're confusing "gimmick" for "strategy". | ||

I think it's safe to say Marine King is the fourth race in SC2. The entire ogs house was probably devoted to figuring the guy out and he still beats two of their players in a row. Because they were pracitcing TvT, while he was practicing Marine King vs T | ||

It seemed like Jinro put a lot more thought into his play. I don't get it, when Boxer did this, people called him brilliant revolutionary amazing god of Starcraft. Foxer does it (get what I did there?) and people think he's weak? He's not weak. He's playing brilliantly. He's doing tailor made builds to pick Jinro apart. It's what every OSL winner has done to win the trophy. They don't sit there and try to do the conventional build on every map and hope that they will somehow have superior mechanics that take them to victory. It's horribly underestimating your opponent when you do that. AKA Why Stork has gotten so many silvers. He was arrogant and thought his mechanics were superior, then he'd get fucking picked apart by custom made builds. It's the same reason why he finally ended up beating Fantasy in an OSL. He put his ego aside and did really brilliant builds to pick Fantasy apart. | ||

Leenock did that last season, he lost. WHY DONT YOU BUILD TANKS, well, look at nada and jinro. MKP is just good, acknowledge it and stop being a hating fanboy. | ||

So here we go: Nestea vs MVP Game 1: Really nice play from Nestea, fantastic game Game 2: I don't think we've seen a Terran lose a game using that backdoor push vs Zerg on Shakuras. Nestea looked like he had it...but then he didn't Game 3: WTF, why no units? Why does Nestea insist on always getting a Baneling nest so ridiculously late? Game 4: WHY NO ROACHES, you can't kill that many tanks with pure Bane Muta... Jinro vs MKP Game 1: Jinro playing like a beast, such sick harrass Game 2: Holy fuck, MK has the sickest defense of anyone playing this game at the moment Game 3: Rage inducing game, MK just too good. He somehow always seems to come out ahead after these early exchanges. Banshee did a ridiculous amount of damage... Game 4: FUCKING MARAUDERS. Also, MK wins again with faster expos and by managing to keep his hidden expos unscouted for the entire game =/ MVP should still win the finals, but MK is gonna give him a hell of a run for his money. MVP 4-2. That is all. | ||

Jinro can't make any more than MarineKing can. 400 more minerals of an army isn't going to do anything considering you gather 400 minerals by time you walk across the map. | ||
