This is not the place to talk about LoL viewership.

This is also not a place to caster bash/balance whine/flame, etc.

Please don't argue about how many views LoL has, or which game is better, or we will be upset.
(added page 174)

Also, lay off Scarlett please. (added page 227)

Well that was a huuuge gamble by WhiteRa that payed off basicly. I remember seeing that he had 6 zealots and 6 colossi at some point before MKPs attack since he could not support all those robos especially with what he had invested in upgrades/twilight before. I am pretty sure that Mkp had a big window there but that move by whitera was so unusual that MKP just didnt scout it at all. Nice comeback play by WhiteRa

Hopefully the 3rd game MKP will show some true TvP, not some wierd tactics that I (and I believe not only me) dont know what he is trying to do with

He'd have to play Brotoss first.

I call bullshit on everything having to be in the GSL to mean something. You act like he's not beating Koreans. He beat DRG 5-2. He just got first in his group in GSL. He's doing well everywhere. He is obviously playing the best. You do not need to win a GSL to be playing the best at this moment.

The format of the GSL and the competition is what makes it more important than every other tournament. You have time to prepare for the GSL, time to prepare specifically for one opponent.

The GSL alone does not determine who the best person in SC2 is atm.

I don't think you can be called the best if you can't win a gsl.

In that regard, it does.

Bullshit.

GSL is not always going on. What happens during the downtime and someone's rolling over everyone? Do we just go "LOL THEY HAVENT WON A GSL THEYRE NOT THE BEST"? No. They're playing the best atm, therefore they are the best atm.


It's ultimately a meaningless title of the best when it's devoid of a GSL win.

It's like people calling Stephano the best player in the world. Yeah, he's ripping up foreign tournaments, but in a format like the GSL would he be as successful? I don't know.

I'm not amused by MKP doing this kind of troll builds.
Let me think he's arrogant enough to think he can win against foreigner by doing silly things.


MKP expression says that was in no way shape or form a troll build


It was.
You don't go 12 rax ghost without a factory before the 20min mark if you're not blantly trolling.


Indeed.


You don't drop games to "troll" in a tournament where map score counts. Try again...

Haha people are getting so mad.

I love this series it's interesting. Gotta give respect to MKP for taking such risks.


I agree, I love that there are players who aren't afraid to break the mould and try new things.

How can you be sure? If whitera dident go 3xrobo his push would most likely have worked.


There is ZERO excuse for a professional terran player of MKP's caliber to never get medivacs. You cannot win TvP without medivacs to compensate for stim/damage.

Thankfully DeMu is currently 1-0 up over Ruff which I am immensely glad about.

It's so hard to cheer for him and know where he'll realistically end up with his all over the place results. I really hope he takes up his GSL Up and Down spot soon (if it even still exists) as I'm just hoping, hoping that he can do well in that, have been for... four months and will probably continue to for at least another two.

Hope BlinG goes through as well for team UK fighting.

Sucks that Machine got knocked down to losers as I really like him as a person, MVP no show is sad as I wanted him to start kicking face again and finally big congrats to Scarlett for the 2-1 over Terious and White Ra for taking MKP to a game 3!

Fruitdealer has one more than MKP. Hmmm.

MKP must have been reading the "where did all the terrans go" thread and decided to try and use the 30 ghost build that all the protoss players have been saying is so good

Pretty close? Maybe before the Robos came up from White-Ra...

You guys are silly. MKP has been doing troll builds since his first televised debut, where he went for a really weird, badly-executed nuke build in a TvZ. I didn't think much of him after that series, but his defeat of Fruitdealer in the next round changed that opinion.

MKP has always had fun trolling around in tournaments, even in serious games. I remember his games vs Haypro at an MLG earlier this year where he went mass Hellions in one game and CC-float to the gold in another game. Not to mention another MLG game where he nuked his own army.

That wasn't really close. White-Ra won about 4 major engagements. It was a beatdown. I'm a bik MKP fan, but it's not Ra's fault MKP used a shitty build
