can't really prepare for him considering the different builds he's capable of, shown, and has had success with in TvZ | ||

Marine thor? Hellion thor? Or doing things like meching vs protoss. The list goes on and on without even needing to go back to far in time. This is not solid play! He is such a great player but makes me not like him for constantly doing gimmicky strategies that rely on the opponent not knowing how to defend them because they are rarely/never used by other players. Of course he plays solid games as well, and im all for doing stuff like that mixed into regular play but he does that stuff constantly! He always finds new gimmicks too. Back when he first got famous for mass marine and splitting vs mass bane I said it was entertaining but obviously not going to work in the long term, and I was right, but he just switches to new weird ass strats in cycles >.<. Oh, also, he fits into a group of terrans that use a style of play that I really can't stand. Another person who does this is Sc. That is, low econ terran aggression that lasts several minutes that relies on mules to maintain unit production while zerg is forced to make units or workers and can't keep up the trades. Players who use this style of play leave a bad taste in my mouth. Again, he is a great player, and can execute any strat as good as any other top terran, I just hate the strategies and approach he takes to the game. | ||

He plays very greedily (for example, the 3 orbital/2 ebay build) and that can bite him in the butt against July. MKP will roll Zenio though. I had never considered this...MKP takes HUGE MASSIVE risks in the early game, like tripple CC and double upgrades where if he doesn't die by the 6 minute mark the game is over. July should totally do 3 roach bane or ling bane busts on MKP, assuming he plays greedy of course. | ||

You mean the Halby mass marine mass mule strategy? Only time I saw this properly dealt with is Losira vs sC at MLG Providence. It's obnoxious as hell to fight against. Anyway, MKP is one of those players I just wanted to go away for a long time. He is indeed very gimmicky, but he's also very smart, abusing the Terran arsenal to the max. I think after those two MLG games, it's safe to say MKP is here to stay. You don't have to root for him, but he is definitely a serious contender. That being said...I hope he loses tonight. XD | ||

Hey that shit is pretty hidden so it really is not a bad question, I expected it out in plain sight myself. Loafmaster Tastosis is indeed casting. | ||

I'm a DRG/zerg fan and I don't like MKP either (too effeminate), but the reasons you give for disliking him are what make him a great player. He does what he must in order to win. I respect that. It would be foolish of him to play standard games when he knows that DRG would beat him at standard games. That's why he takes huge risks like his 3 orbital/2 ebay build. And if his opponents aren't prepared for his tactics and strategies, then they don't deserve to win. | ||

That and similar play to that is just insanely annoying. And yes, he is very gimmicky, but also chooses his gimmicks well and plays enough normal play that I have accepted he probably isn't going anywhere any time soon. Doesn't stop me from rooting against him heavily . | ||
