Wow I've almost watched every single GSL game since season 1 but I don't think I can handle a 20 out of 32 player Terran playerbase for this next seasons code S. That's just ridiculous, do we really have to wait until HotS to get this pro level more racially diverse ?

O well maybe D3 will draw me away until the terran domination ends ><


I find it annoying that the best players keep choosing terran. I know each race has a few players who dont deserve code S but it seems terran players are just solid lately with a pretty low amount of protoss players who honestly deserve code S. Honestly the only protoss who deserved code S who didnt get it was JYP but fate intervened so that MKP would get 2nd yet again.

Innovative, really? He spent the first two seasons making nothing but marines and bringing SCV's.

Current TvZ still uses ideas that MarineKing pioneered in open season 2.


How?
U mean mass marines with medivac?
Thats not even viable anymore.
If your talking about marine splitting, mvp did it way better and it probably was already on the ladder for a long while.
Slayers pioneered the blue flame into marine tank play.
MVP was the marine tank solid macro.
Someone else did full mech.
What did mkp pioneer exactly? 2 rax + scv all in?

Seems like everyone is this thread has forgot how good MKP TvZ is. The only matchup he really is struggling with is TvT.

Patch 1.4 will buff protoss a little bit, so they're not without a chance.

I don't see it doing much tbh. 1 more range on immortals isn't suddenly going to chance what's going on in TvP atm.


I think the bigger change will probably be guardian shield effecting siege tank damage, not a huge thing, but still pretty helpful.

His t v t is just bio but it is bad compared to the likes of polts bio.
T v Z has great marine micro but poor decision making
Don't even get me started on his T v P.


I want to agree to you except 1 thing:

Especially korean pro's play to win. MKP is by no means the only terran who just 1-1-1's all protosses to win. Demuslim did it when it was important at MLG (not even a korean), Puma used it several times at IEM.

I think more People should quote SlayersAlicia on this one :

...and has Hongun carry the team with his all-ins.


Optimus? You know the guy who won the super tournament and lost in RO4 this season.


He's never used in the GSTL. The coach never uses him in TvP situations. He's 0-2 this season versus Puma (before he ditched TSL) and DongRaeGu.

Still think Prime needs to go find a new terran to teach their guys some mech. MKP needs more help than Optimus at the second, but both need to learn some sort of variation if they want a chance at a title. TOP/Optimus showed that Optimus can't depend on splendid micro/splitting/attacking to win a game and needs to learn different builds.

Steal Byun. Try to buy Supernova. Anyone. Prime needs a new terran that doesn't like bio.

Lol. You whiners are really pathetic. Did you see how JYP and Tester lost their last games to MKP ? I doubt it.


The whiners are also paying customers and viewers. When it reaches a point where there are barely any protoss in Code S, the paying customers no longer want to watch and GOM loses money which will probably put pressure on them to do something.


Even if GOM was dissatisfied what would they do, bar anymore Ts from playing in code S. It is not there game to balance.

I find it annoying that the best players keep choosing terran.


No.

That's not how it works.

Many Terrans don't show very solid play as well. The race is just a lot more forgiving.

Not a massive fan of MKP but I'd much much rather he did what he thought was most likely to win him matches than worry about what people think of him. There's no real competition if all players aren't playing all out to win in every game.

It couldn't hurt Blizzard to do a PTR in which they removed a percentage of DPS on every single Terran unit. Would be interesting to see how that would turn out.

Glad taeja got through, not so happy MKP got through. Always does 1/1/1 or ghost rush in TvP and he's lucky he was in this particular group over the others.


What a dumb comment. He rarely does 1/1/1 and he did the ghost rush twice.

Unfortunately i agree that that is the sad state of the game, which is why i can't wait for the new patch to come out.
I won't hate MKP but i will dislike his play, and thus rather him drop out of code S where i wish to see the best play and not abusive builds.
