No one said marines were OP before he made them OP. Most people were complaining about marauders.

He changed the TvZ matchup completely.

He popularized the 2 rax build.

He got 2nd place 4 times in GSL.


A lot of people said marines were good before him, they have insane dps and efficency, and how did he change TvZ ? Dont terran do marine/tank/medivacs anymore ?


Before MKP vs Kyrix, NO ONE knew that splitting marines against Banelings was effective.

No, MVP was the first to split marines, but MKP just made it really famous through that series and being only marine heavy.

How can't you like him?
He got into GSL Open 2 from nowhere. And after a very scrappy first round, he picked himself up and beat Kyrix in an amazing matter, he beat both GSL Open 1 finalists on his way to give Nestea the scare of his life, being the only player to take a game of him and ending the finals at 4-3 in Nestea's favour. He changed the complete matchup in that tournament.

In GSL Jan, he showed of that Marines worked in TvT as well. The match against NaDa comes to mind.

He just delivers great matches time and time again.

He wears his heart on his sleeve and the Kong line helps him to get some popularity as well.

He just won me over at the start I guess


The into GSL Open 2 'from nowhere' thing made me laugh. Not only were half (guess) the qualifiers new, he played BW (and not very well [relatively])

Although there were a ton of new players on GSL2, MKP had what was arguably the hardest road to the finals, having to get through recent GSL1 winner Fruitdealer, runner-up Rainbow, and the then-formidable Kyrix to get to the finals where he almost beat Nestea.

AOL suffers from the same GSL Finals syndrome.

Ah, I see. I forgot MarineKing can win online finals easily.

You poor bastard. You missed GSL2.

It's not your fault, it was a busy time in all our lives.

Go buy GSL season 2. Start watching the player known then as "Boxer". Note the rage, Artosis HATES him. Watch him kill the former champion fruitdealer... then watch the exact moment when rage turns to admiration as Foxer shows terran how to micro in what is STILL one of the best GSL series to date (MKP vs Kyrix). Think he can only do that TvZ? Watch the next series.


Beat me to it. I know I wasn't the only person who was converted to, and remains, a MKP fan after his series against Kyrix in GSL2.

The most recent example of a flash of brilliance from MKP that I can recall was game 4 against Leenock in GSL August... I know the majority of his play seems uninspiring, but games like that keep me hooked into MarineKing.


Oh man, yeah, those splits. Mkp such a beast. I don't know how he held that.

Not true, MVP was splitting marines in his sets vs Zenio in season 2 in the Ro32 or 64, before MKP vs kyrix happened.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Wow, I bought the $5 pass just for the finals, and even at the price of a bus fare, that was not worth it. The last 3 games were just MKP makes hellions, and DRG has no units to defend. Another terrible GSL finals.

So true. Sometimes it seems like that all those MKP Haters didnt even watch that series.

Good for MKP. Shame DRG couldn't give him more of a fight.

Man that's so weird that DRG lost like that. Dunno how to feel. DRG is my Zerg Idol but I'm a foxer fan to the end.

Yay MKP! I guess. Still can't believe DRG got beat so bad in a ZvT.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

It's more that DRG is like a foreigner zerg, not in the same league of MKP, not deserving a longer game of him :D. Jk jk

Can't watch the game, but from what I read poor DongRaeGusta is being torched to death. I would never have bet on this, seeing how fearful is DRG's vT. One part of me is sad because it probably means he'll get owned this final, but another part is happy because he'll work on his vT even more and it will get magic.
