Guess him and Byun spent a lot of their off time practicing rather than participating in tournaments.
Wasn't it 6 months ?

youve got to be kidding me right now. lmao. mkp had easy opponents everytime. he first played liquid taeja who's 2nd weakest match up is tvt. then he played eg jyp who's worse match up is pvt. now he plays slayers coca who's horrible at zvt
Good jokes brah.

Hey, hey, Coca hasn't won the series yet. But I agree he's perfectly capable of it, and should be in Code S too.

I always remembered CoCa as that godly ZvP player with a ridiculous winrate (what was it, like over 90%?) but I never remembered his ZvT to be as strong. Then again, I guess staying at SlayerS gives you a whole lot of Terran players to practice against.

CoCa is better then MKP, regardless of the balance patch. Disregarding the fact that he lost in the only GSL qualifier he's been able to participate in since he was Temp Banned from GSL, his preformance and gameplay has been super strong, in Korean Weeklys (getting 2nd to Life) and Qualifying for OSL, and doing well in GSTL, and getting awesome results in TSL.
This post was hilarious.

Whether or not he's right, it felt like a year T_T. Coca...

hehehe I think it would be pretty funny to see some of the old maps with the current meta and patch changes.
Anybody else wanna see them bring back Blistering Sands? No?
How about Desert Oasis?
....tumbleweed....

No he's just gonna win because *insert balance whine here* He did really really well until him and Byun (GhostKing) got suspended for a year because of a "Match fixing" thing that happened.

It was Raleigh, took 2nd place after Bomber ^^

Of course he is, first OSL champion incoming.. lol kidding. But I still believe he is Code S material. No belief neccesary, his gameplay proves he's Code S level.
Even as a Coca fan, I have to admit that his play has been inconsistent. He has had great games, and not so great games.
Also, even though such a statistic is meaningless when matched against MKP, I would like to mention that Coca had a 100% winrate against Protoss in the GSL in 2011, when he was Code S for multiple seasons. He's good.

iirc he had a 100% match or series zvp winrate in GSL. However, this was mostly because he combined amazing mechanics with strange builds and styles, specifically stuff like Bane Busts and builds that denied the Protoss's third.

I think MKP shouldve thrown down PDDs instead of waiting for HSM to finish. He lost so many vikings and ravens by doing so, and then started to win the air battles when he laid down a single PDD despite having almost no vikings left at that point.

Ah, I looked it up, the coaches of both parties involved said whenever both players had the right "mentality" again. Source here. But it's been about 8ish months, so quite a long time.

I think with the balance as it is, 5-2 or 5-1, without balance as it is, it would be 5-3 at least if not MKP winning 5-3 5-2.
However with Coca ZvT as is and ZvT in general as is I'm staying with 5-2 or 5-1, happy to eat my words though.

What I remember most was the mass overseer style to keep P from reinforcing xD

Inferior Zergs have been beating the top Terrans commonly since the queen buff so yes he is a real threat to win this series.
