Yeah I think it's a good matchup too
The other mirror matchups are quite boring, but TvT is enjoyable to watch

This makes me realize just how strong a style MKP has. It is so strong that he can win even if he is extremely behind. So many fall back options.

He lost something like 30 or more SCV in the first game and he still almost beat Jinro even when so badly behind. When Jinro was hurt a little by Banshee harass he pretty much slowly died.

I wonder if MKP wins the GSL this will become the main way to play Terran.

MKP actually kinda plays like a Zerg. Very impressive. MKP might actually be losing his games against MVP later on but might pull out wins anyway.

It can't be the main style of playing terran, because it requires a ridiculous amount of skill and training (imo).


Anyway, I iwll root for MKP for the finals.


Ahh, but think about it. If bigger maps start entering the map pool this style becomes stronger. Macro Terran with mobile units.

TvT finals is like eating the same meal every day for a month. You can get sick of even the most delicious food.

This series will rule though. Unless the players all resort to all ins and junk. I see no reason why they would. They've both played awesome and i expect nothing less in a week (or whenever it is).

Doubt we'll see many thors or BCs though.

Going for MKP. Not even defeating Jinro can make me dislike him.

To all of you surprised at how well bio and/or marines fare against tanks, it's because in the circumstances tonight, the bio had huge upgrade advantages(medvacs are great too).


And alot of space to spread the bio and make a sick concave.


It's not just tonight's circumstances. Pure bio in general requires a lot less gas than tank/banshee/marine/medivac. Also, it's always the guy who goes bio that gets to expo first, knowing he holds the army advantage. The tank player has to do some type of tech harass while turtling because the tanks need to get up to large enough numbers that they won't get swarmed by bio when they move out.

Well, even thou I was cheering for Jinro, you really got to be impressed byt MKP, this was truly an exiting series, and I dont think a TvT finals will be boring with MKP in it.

Still congratulations to Jinro for making it this far and putting up a good fight!
Sweden fighting! =)

Yeah this was definitely a much more entertaining series than the one vs oGsMC. Props to Jinro for continuing to play at such a high level and continuing to improve so that he remains a top contender.

MKP the best starcraft2 player on the planet .. MVP is going down like a mule.. No words can describe the epicness of MKP play , its on another scale , nobody can do that , thats what i want to see , crazy strategies , epic macro and micro games..

congratulations for mvp but Nestea losing like 10 mutas for nothing on move command , that was very sad, i really felt like he could win ..

It's funny because MKP thinks MVP is the best terran player in the world atm.

That's also what NaDa did against Genius in Shakuras: good macro with a mobile MMM force and then adding vikings/ghosts. If I recall correctly, Artosis called it "the future of terran macro".

It was a good run Jinro, round of 4 two seasons in a row is nothing at all to be ashamed about.

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 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.


By no means am I trying to say that MKP is a weak player. And I'm not trying to argue that Jinro is superior because of mechanics at all (in fact I'd argue that MKP's mechanics are generally superior). Jinro's play just seemed more creative and planned out than MKP's, but in such a way that he would have more to fall back on if things didn't go quite right. In MKP's case, he was almost dead when he decided to try and take the gold in game 2, and when he decided to surprise drop Jinro at the last moment during game 1. He really makes a lot of risky decisions and I can only wonder how long they'll keep favoring him.

Again, I'm not saying MKP is a bad player by any stretch of the imagination. All of the decisions he made were excellent, but risky. Perhaps gimmick was a poor word to describe it. I just think that Jinro is generally the better player just between being able to play very safe but very creative builds.


I think this is a cogent point. The way I see it though, is MKP knows just exactly how many buttons he can push and still win. Like he knows just how much risk he can take with his creative builds and still come out the victor. It's like zergs always trying to find the maximal number of drones they can make at the beginning of the game and get away with it before making actual units. IMO ofc

i really enjoy mkp's style, it's very decisive and risky, reminisicent of fruitdealers style in season 1

- i bet mkp can be a really scary zerg if he was a zerg player

MKP uses Marines only in the early game. But later on switches to Marauders and steamrolls anything. A CC goes down in 5 seconds with 15 stimmed Marauders.
