Something is fishy Yeah, its about as credible as MLG. Comments like this are dumb. Progamers dont play to lose. | ||

Usually T Pushes with marines and 6 or so blueflames, but now he had 10 blueflames and exceptional micro. Same with the mass hellion build on dual sight, extremely hard to hold without roaches. Maybe the time of skipping roaches zvt is past?! | ||

His fruitdealer games are ok, but they were more shocking at the time. FruitDealer had just won a terran-heavy season 1 at a time when TvZ was widely considered imbalanced, and (as today) MKP exploited wonky timings to kill him. My personal favorite is when MKP walks into Fruit Dealer's base with like five marines, snipes an overlord, and leaves. (On Jungle Basin or something, ick.) | ||

Not only were half (guess) the qualifiers new, he played BW (and not very well [relatively]) I'm glad I made you giggle  I just meant most players were already playing in GSL 1. MKP just arrived in GSL 2 using BoxeR's ID and people were just laughing at him for being a BoxeR fanboy thinking he's good enough to actually compete | ||

Game 5 was often overlooked due to the shock value having worn off slightly from the earlier games, but it was even BETTER in my opinion. Still TONNES of great marine splits. | ||

Doesn't matter about how good DRG is at defending, just comes down to builds and unit composition. MKP basically knew DRG was never going roaches, so all he had to do was mass helions in different ways to beat anything ling heavy. Go with some spines? Just do some helion drops. Pretty simple, and DRG really needed more time in between games and some good coaching after the 3rd game. | ||

The problem is that it is just as gimmicky, and going roaches for safety on a map like TDA means you lose the macro game pretty hard. The roaches can clear the rocks at the 3rd so it's not as bad as it used to be (though the map is obviously much, much better for TvZ than it used to), but you need mutas to delay/deal with any tank/marine push which is just so, so strong when you can siege the natural this easily.Stop crying. DRG doesn't know how to make roaches. Marineking mixed his pressure very well, mixing full hellions, marine/hellions and hellion elevator. Don't act like DRG is mentally challenged for not going roaches, when going roaches is just as big a gamble as relying on queen/ling micro to defend. Decent series overall, MarineKing deserved that win, he played great games. | ||

Does no one else think marines are one of the most boring units in the game? Or do people just feel sorry for him? I dont get it I agree completely. I feel like I'm in bizarro world where this boring gimmicky abusive 1 baser has a huge fan base. I feel confident in saying if mkp played the way he plays now(now being since the earl seasons where he got popular with marine splits) people would hate him. | ||
