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.

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

No he's not, White-ra just owned him.

It's really hard to argue that whitera won that game. You can argue that MKP lost it, and the reasoning for it, if it was brain fart, underestimation or was trying to not reveal his strategies against a lesser player, but making 3 robos when you see your opponent is not bothering with fact and going colossi is something I think most toss atleast in master if not lower would be able to do.

You guys ever think that maybe MKP was doing a legitimate build and got caught off guard by three robo-colossus? Afterall, he didn't ever really scout more than the natural being up.

I don't think mkp was "trolling". His build seemed kind of weird but considering the sheer amount of units he was pumping out due to the fast third and no tech (at one point he was at like 75 scvs to white-ra's 62 probes), he would've demolished any non-colossus build that relied on double forge upgrades (which white-ra was going). It was really White-Ra's good read after seeing only ghost bio and adding on two more robos for three robo collosus that made that look like a joke. Saying "omg MKP is disrespecting white ra by using troll builds" is completely wrong.

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...


I don't think MKP had any intention to lose.

It was an extremely sub optimal build though. 22 ghost push isn't good...

Don`t try to use logic with MKP. He does silly things all the time especially MLG. It was a troll build.

That's your opinion, not a fact.

if he is dropping games to troll, he is pretty stupid.

I like how the same people would whine the shit out of meta games and meta builds yet every time someone does something unique and new that could and might be potentially risky and on the outside looking stupid - they rage and call it bm.

I'm rooting for WhiteRa, but please. Cut the fucking bullshit. Let MKP do his build.

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.

Stephano wasn't playing the absolute best players in the world though.

Polt's great and all but I'd hesitate to put him top 10 in the world. MKP was ripping through MC and DRG like it was nothing.

I've seen marineking go mass marine vs colossus and win, but even in those games, he got medivacs. This is simply trying to take it too far. Its not like he's playing a mid master player, in which he would win with this build no problem. He's simply trying to play polar opposite to game 1 lol.

HELL YEAH!!

you realize, that MKP is trolling correct?


the worst part is, he isn't trolling. not even close go learn the use of the word.

this is shit MKP does anyway, this is him as a player he does amazing shit he does stupid shit

I'm pretty sure he is putting on a show. Have you seen his regular TvP?


putting on a show, at a tournament where every loss could spell defeat and fuck you over.

yup you're correct

MKP does this at every tournament not named GSL when he is the heavy favorite dude.


no he's just a gimmicky as hell player

he tried it at orlando during the open bracket and it backfired much as it backfired this game

he does this when he is a heavy favorite. The mass hellion build wasnt a gimmick. It was well thought out on that map. This last game was just having some fun. He knows he is gonna win the series. Has it backfired on him before? Yeah it has. But to say he wasn't trolling in that game is wrong

LOL this community has such double standards.

White-Ra himself plays strange and risky tactics :

SPECIAL TACTICS FTW !

MarineKing does it :

Omg, disrespectful as shit...

MKP is trying to be too "Cool" for himself.....

I still remember an Orlando loss versus Drewbie that cost him first in the pool and his best shot at the tournament.

It didn't he came first when he beat IdrA. He then lost to Huk.

He said in an interview that it was a mistake but people kept on saying he was trolling and just fucked up the trolling part..
In the same tournament he floated his CC to the gold on meta and people said he was trolling.
He also went for that thor build against IdrA and people said he was trolling.
