I don't think I've seen MKP play a straight-up TvP in a good while. Not that I don't understand why he uses all-ins and gimmicks, but it does make me question whether he's got the goods other than that.

Perfect drops, feedbacks, denying third the whole game with one single DT. In the end it didn't even matter.

Edit: And yes, maybe he wanted to do a 1-1-1. That's not the point. He didn't. Stop claiming everything under the sun is a 1-1-1.


Not exactly, the primary components to the 1-1-1 is a Fac/Port/Barracks, it's a reactionary all-in. If you get VR rushed, you cut the banshees and go Viking, you can also go Tech lab instead of reactor and skip cloak, opting for a Marauder mix. Hellions also have their place, but I forget what they respond too, maybe mass zealot.

The only decent match ups in SC2 atm are TvZ and ZvZ XD A third of the match ups are decently entertaining after 1 year. Good job Blizzard!

What's even more interesting is that JYP defended very well - denying drop into his base and delaying push, but still gets rolled very easily when the attack hits.

The tech lab on the Starport was building and canceled as soon as MKP saw the void ray. MKP was going to aiming for the variation with the banshees. He was going to one base regardless as soon as he went for the 1-1-1 build.

Didn't JYP cheese as well?


It's supposed to be a counter to a 1/1/1, except MKP did a different variation on it. MKP has tried it vs both Toss, and is generally relying on a huge number of 1base plays as a crutch nowadays.


Ah ok. Did not know that.


For the record I used to be a huge MKP fan, but his refusal to adapt to current trends in most match ups, and his increasingly heavy reliance on one basing after going through a period of great macro games at the start of the year has just steadily turned me off.

---

On the plus side for the Protoss fans, you either get 1 more toss guaranteed to be in Code S, or you get a tiebreak with none of them out, so it's not all doom and gloom just yet.


Admittedly, 1/1/1 is the current PvT trend

LOL, even naniwa is giving up hope it seems like.


No, he is just crying every time a Protoss loses. If he continues his way, he will be like IdrA and no one will take care if he cries again.

GSL Aug is the first and last time I will watch Up & Downs. As entertaining as they are I need to do something else in my life besides watching 10 games + tiebreakers each day. XD

I guess that's true but I'm sure almost all of us would prefer JYP to Trickster.

Out of curiosity, is there a limit to the number of rounds of tiebreakers there can be? I mean, there has to be a limit to (1) how much they can cast/play in a single day, and (2) how many rounds they can play (assuming we are very lucky/unlucky to keep reaching tiebreakers)

This is how it looks right now:

(T)MarineKing <Dual Sight> (P)TesteR
(T)Taeja <Tal'Darim Altar> (P)JYP
(T)MarineKing <Antiga Shipyard> (Z)viOlet

Let us assume this happens:

(T)Taeja <Crossfire SE> (P)TesteR
(T)MarineKing <Terminus RE> (P)JYP
(T)Taeja <Xel'Naga Fortress> (Z)viOlet
(P)TesteR <Tal'Darim Altar> (P)JYP

If so we will have a 5-way 2-2 tie, right?

That would be kind of epic...


2 games left for a 5-way 2-2 tie!

(T)Taeja <Xel'Naga Fortress> (Z)viOlet
(P)TesteR <Tal'Darim Altar> (P)JYP

Go Violet & JYP!

It would be a total rematch of all this series!


I hope this happens, GOM needs look at how they mess up everything they do ^_^ im pretty sure the players prefered the old system of playing BO3s as always the better play would win a straight up BO3 for example in a BO3 in this group the only player MKP would lose to is Taeja and that would be very close. But in BO1s he fins himself 2-2


More games = better odds for the best players to advance.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

Theoretically, they could go on forever.
