To me, he is European because he is of Caucasian descent, though you could argue that he is actually African due to ancestral migrations. When people say Korean they usually mean Korean in terms of actually spending time in Korea. That's why we call Select a foreigner and not a Korean. | ||

Obviously HuK is a white dude and American-Canadian. What matters for SC though is his training, which is obviously Korean. | ||

This meant MKP could not stop producing marines to make reactors, because he might have been overwhelmed by mutas. -By doing this, however, Idra's mutalisks were forced into small encounters with MKP's heavily upgraded marines, this means muta numbers never went over the top as Idra likes. The end result of all of this is an apparent weak macro by MKP, when he was actually strangled into that position, you can tell he was actually macroing by looking at his SCV count, despite losing around 50 SCVs to harass he kept the number high, all while attempting to take a 4th even while harassed. All this also meant that Idra had to keep replenishing mutas, which kept his tech back, probably delaying infestors a bit. By the time MKP pushed idra had no counter to MKP's upgraded marines. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it lol, but that's how I see it. MKP only had an apparent bad macro, but he was actually executing his build really well, he probably could have added barracks though, but he was being stressed by harass. Everything you said was true. MKP didn't have the time to make reactors due to Idra's constant pressure, but that doesn't excuse him for not making a few barracks instead. Even with that mistake though, Idra made an even bigger mistake falling behind in upgrades and sacrificing his mutas to marines at the end. | ||

MKP gets 3-3 marines, a bunch of medivacs and wins. It's hard to say he out played him when MKP was losing a lot and manages to win due to a handful of marines. Forgot to mention how MKP took a quick third and barely defended it against Idra. That's a lot of drones he could be making. | ||
