rofl how astonishingly dumb
Well if he was truly trying hishardest would of probably gave moreemoton whenhe lost.he kind ofjust shrugged it off. Unless he stopped being emotonal after losing.
T.T
You did great this weekend MKP. I'm so proud to be a fan of you.

Turns out 2 base colossus is pretty good against storm dodgers.
Every tvp I see mkp lose is due to col play. He doesn't scout much and is always caught without vikings. Happened against genius and many of his tvp losses. Col play is mkp's tvp kryptonite.
I'm sorry, I really try hard not to bash and provide constructive feedback, but the reality of HD getting flied to events, being accomodated, and perhaps even getting money for this level of casting just breaks my heart. You can get at least 5 better casters from random youtube channels.

Yeah, I just got back but was it streamed at all?
Squirtl's 2 base colossus with thermal lance proved too much for MKP since MKP loves to delay his vikings for medivacs which is great against PartinG's early templar tech but sucks balls when dealing with colossus

Ah well, falling so closely to the best ZvZ player and to the best TvZ player, no real shame in that. He didn't have much luck with the bracket after all
As much as I love Stephano, I have to agree with the people saying that MMA had the entire game. There's a reason people don't go broodlords--because then you just get dropped / expos sniped to hell as you're moving out. CK is a horrible map for ultras, so it was kind of forced, but MMA was in control from the early-mid game to the very end; his economy was never really threatened, he was constantly maxed...
My opinion is that currently TvZ end game is T favored, about as much as ZvP end game is Z favored. As for TvP, I'd say it's a bit P favored, but much less than the other matchups. Which explains the number of terrans in such tournaments.
The fact that Stephano lasted this long proves he is one of the best Z in the world, one of the 5 best I'd say. But atm, only way for him to win vs MMA-like terrans is to avoid end game, or have the "luck" to have a Z favored map to developp his amazing hive play.
I have the feeling the Terran is right now the only race you can play consistenly on the very top notch. Nestea and DRG dropping to Code A. MC is also very inconsistent. But look at Terran: MKP, MMA, MVP (although struggles lately)...
