But I have to say, as a casual Starcraft 2 watcher, if Koreans keep winning MLGs I'm just going to stop bothering entirely. Why, were you not entertained by that game? Why does it matter where they come from? Was that game not intense and exciting? If a player's nationality is what prevents you from watching esports why even bother? Some people doesn't enjoy seeing a tourney roster and knowing which players will finish top 6. It's his opinion, are you that intolerant? There are more than 6 Koreans, and if pool play shows us anything it's that foreigners are more than capable of making it top 6 anyway. SC is about the games, not about where people are from.

TheStC flying under the radar still hah (at least comparatively to others).

I remember day9 saying he was getting an ifnestation pit. i was so excited that he'd be ready for the next waves of marines and thinking in my head "damn idra doing exactly whats right" but didnt end up making infestors :<
sometimes i do think he overcommits on mutas but i guess he likes that playstyle so yeah. grats on mkp and hopefully idra smashes face to get further

Reactors was probably a metagame against IdrA on shak, because mutas killing the reactor cost 50 gas and 50s to replace, those 5 minutes that he was floating min, he was CONSTANTLY microing to hold off IdrA's ling muta agression in his main, yes he should have had more rax, but to say his macro is terrible is not right

The pool has both IdrA and MKP as 4-1, 9 wins 3 losses, aren't they TIED? Why are they saying MKP gets 1st place?
Because he won against Idra... standard rule in most tournaments.

Im not to sure but even if map score is more important its tied the secondary tie breaker is head to head.

and then the other guy was better and won instead?
+ Show Spoiler +i don't get the whole 'idra should win because he's idra' thing, MKP can actually hold his own in CodeS where idra conceded, is it so unfathomable he might be better? just maybe?
|
I don't know how can someone blame balance in that game. Idra never went past Lair tech, did not upgrade his army and again suicide his mutas into marines with medivacs...

BEAUTIFUL GAME FROM MKP!!! HOLY SHIT the nerd chills|!! Beautiful?.... banking minerals and macroing terribly is the way to go... The lack of macro and production was offset by the huge advantage in upgrades, a small amount of marines can hold the line against superior mutalisk numbers if upgrades are early enough, in this case, MKP had 3-3 in 15 min while mutas were 1-0. Does it make it a beautiful game from MKP? certainly not. The hard part is to macro decently, not getting 3/3, even I can tech to 3/3. Sure you can , now go sit over there.

The medivacs covered the marines number. Idra thought he can finish them off with his forces, but unfortunately he underestimated.

OMG is sase about to take down bomber

lol. And he did. In your dreams lol......... nope looking at marineking first in his group. maybe in your dreams? That means he outplayed idra? lol lol better player won. 3-3 marines against 1-1 lings and no infestors? nice try
I guess that means drewbie is better than marineking.

If you invest 500 min and gas into 3/3 ups yes your gonna be behind until they kick in
lol 500 min and gas... you mean 5 mutas... again you didn't prove anything, idra just was playing by cutting too many corners that he didn't have to cut. And MKP didn't play great at all. The game itself was a little sad.

He needed infestors. He need hive tech. Also 3/3 marines with enough medivacs can take out infinity supply. Infestors I think are the biggest thing. Fungaling the SCVs and marines would've won it for him for sure. at the end, every unit had a personal medivac so all fungal does is negate medivacs. If he was sniping medivacs, fungal would be awesome. that also means marines cant micro banelings the difference it makes is massive.
at 4 bullets per baneling, most of the banelings died before impact even without splitting

Wow I'm glad HuK is facing MKP and not Bomber.

SAAAASE!!!! He just straight up owned bomber!
