His control may well be in the top 5 in the world. I can't think of anyone that has definitively better bio control than MKP. And with this GSL one could argue he is at least in the top 16 in the world overall. | ||

People think highly of him because A) His reputation in Korea is second to none. His play online is ridiculously strong but he's known to suffer from nerves which makes his lan performance kinda weak. 2) He's a unique and original player, he does a lot of weird stuff and it's fun to watch. and three, a lot of long term SC2 fans remember when he first came onto the scene. With the exception of his first game in GSL 2 every game he played that season was new and exciting. He elevated the game as a spectator experience. | ||

I know it sounds harsh but he never seems to win ANYTHING of merit and yet people still worship the ground he walks on. Strange. I have never understand why people actively root against a player simply because he has fans. Also there is more to liking a player then simply winning. | ||

MC picked MVP because he wanted to show off, NesTea picked DRG because ZvZ is still his best matchup (his only good MU right now, by the standards people expext of him?!?) and there are not really any bad players left anyways in GSL Ro16 2012, unlike Ro32 2011. | ||

Genius has been stomping GSL and SC2 since forever. Back when he was NEXGenius he topped the Korea ladder. He hasn't had as much exposure in foreign tournaments as a lot of other players and he hasn't been able to shine in GSL like MC but hes up there as one of the best protoss. | ||

he is definitely one of the most funniest players to watch, always doing some crazy awesome stuff, has insane micro, good manners, what do you want more? he has doing very well on many korean and foreign tournaments recently. For sure he is much mure awesome and unique than that standard stuff you often see in gsl. | ||

Curious is less of a threat than DongRaeGu. He could have picked Curious. | ||

Why do people always forget that he won the first Blizzcon SC2 championship? That was huge at the time. | ||

He won it when the only real threats to him were Maka, Loner and Dimaga to a lesser extent. In a tournament where KR qualifiers only invited 8 players meaning better players (ie. Fruitdealer, Rainbow) could not participate. Don't get me wrong. He was good, but hyping that win up isn't really saying much, considering the relatively low level of competition that tournament had. It's good to see that he's still dedicated and has been improving far better than Rainbow and the others. | ||

It's good to see that he's still dedicated and has been improving far better than Rainbow and the others. He still overcame the terrans, in a period where they routinely won games because protoss couldn't forcefield their ramp well enough, it was a great performance in the context. edit : I was talking about that earlier, but any player that was there during the open seasons and who is still relevant/code S has my eternal respect. | ||
