I drink in the tears of the butthurt fans. Failed 2 rax into 3CC + medivacs is a terrible transition and MKP deserves to be punished. Did he really think he could get away with a 1 base hellion elevator push into 3CC too? I'm sorry but you're not playing foreign zergs, Korean zergs will maul you at the slightest hint of weakness. 1 rax CC would have been so much more stable and given him a better chance to execute his midgame aggression.

I wish MKP would show more MVP-esque type of play sometimes, against arguably weaker players. Keep all the fanciness and unpredictability for GSL series :/


His whole game is not solid standard play, he couldn't be successful with MVP-like gameplay.


Exactly- MKP only knows two ways to play- cheesy or greedy. Symbol was smart enough to find ways to exploit that fact.


Exactly this.

These games are not at all indicitive of whether or not symbol is a good player.


Just indicitive of how bad a player marineking is by that logic then?


More of how bad he was playing that day.

I'm real sad that MKP is out, but it's nice to have something other than terran in Paris.

I guess for racial balance it works out. But let's be honest--who gives a fuck about Symbol? Good for him and all but I feel bad for the Iron Squid organizers, who were probably wishing for a very popular and well-known Top 4 for the live tournament. While one might argue that if Symbol shines through and wins the tournament (haha, against Nestea), he will be gaining a big fanbase, it seems more likely he'll be treated in the same vain as Alive as he's a bit of a colorless dullard.


They re actually glad, they were kinda bummed that it could be all Terrans, now they have TvT, ZvZ and ZvT.

Still can't believe MKP lost 0-3 to one of those forever border Code A/Code B dwellers. Kind of embarrassing but whatever

I'd bet for as many people as get turned off by no MKP you have just as many now firmly interested at the possibility of NesTea vs aLive/MMA too (let's face it, symbol rocks but he'll still be a massive underdog in a NvZ series).

Finals going to be so sick =)

say whut, Symbol steadily improved last year, but made it to Code A only to hit Genius at the start of his god streak. He had good games in the GSTL and requalified this season for Code A again. Tough match vs sC but we'll see how he does. He's at least Code A and Code S capable in my books.

These games were played on 4/11, right as MKP landed on his vega trips, as someone has mentioned.

These games showed that Symbol really did his homework, and studied his opponent and played countered to that, while MKP didn't do his HW. But it's understandable that MKP didn't, as I doubt he had time, and had more important things to practice for (GSTL, IPL, etc)

Just like he is an underdog vs. MKP. He can pull it off. Nestea might be the god of ZvZ but gods still bleed, and he can lose the series to symbol

I know, I'll be cheering for him to do so again =)

Was just saying that general opinion will be that NesTea will probably win which will mean people will be excited for a rematch between NesTea and one of the Terrans
