For everyone advising adding ghosts, ravens, or reapers, you don't understand MKP's style.
MKP is all about trading units more cost efficiently than his opponent. But to do that he needs replenishable units or units that just don't die. Against Zerg everything on the ground will eventually get cleaned up, so you can't use ghosts very well (they're kinda slow too). Even tanks are a bit hard to keep alive with MKP's style, that's why he doesn't make them in very high numbers (he could siege them earlier however ;D).
In the air, medivacs are kind of a good choice, they're fast, and can be reactored, so kinda replenishable and you can keep them alive easily even after being cleaned up.
In the end it just makes sense that all MKP produces is marine, marauders, hellions, medivacs and some tanks, that's essentially every tradable-ish unit Terran has.

If you want to play the ghosts/raven/mech/whatever slow push game, you need a much more turtlish style than what MKP likes to play. The fact that MKP doesn't make PF's is also related to this btw.

Whether this is a good TvZ style or not I don't know, but it's certainly good enough against lower Zergs than Symbol for someone with MKP's mechanics.

Er. Terran has been handling the absurd Z and P lategame for nearly a year now and have slowly but surely had all of their early pressure abusive builds nerfed into nothing. TvP is now almost universally decided by the outcome of a 10 minute push. TvZ used to be decided by 3rd base denial into an awesome late game.

You did not have forums full of terrans going "LOL L2P" because the amazing terrans at GSL were not representative of the experience except for a very brief period where terran could a move into a protoss army because not a single one of you bothered to build templar.

Terrans have not had it "easy" for years. We've just had arguably the best player in the world playing our race.
