Will "Korean Protoss" be the new scary thing? I feel like there are almost more scary protoss players from there than terran now. | ||

Because i didn't say that. At all. Re-read the quotes if you are getting confused before trying to answer that way. | ||

You've got pages and pages of people commentating on how MKP looks like he's going to have a heart-attack whenever they pan to him and you could see his play reflecting his nerves-issue plain as day. Nobody made excuses for MVP, he got himself into an bad position with his build and from there didn't have the right upgrades to compete with the protoss. Nobody is giving a shit about the BW guys besides the BW fans who need to legitimize their game, the sc2 fans are excited to watch a new crop of players come in. You guys need to stop being douche bags cause it doesn't look good in the least bit. | ||

These guys practiced for a week or 2 for these matches... they learned every build the opponent does and their patterns. It's basically a counter vs. counter and players change stuff up mid game because they notice they're getting countered. Not to mention you have to play your heart out because you have no chance to come back, better player always wins in Bo1. Bo3 has more to do with who is lucky, who cheeses, etc. | ||

Then, he felt the game was won, and actually killing his opponent was merely a formality. He tried to drop which got shut down badly due to miscontrol. He then got stuck to the though of attacking Rain up front, and after several bad engagements they got about even. After that, he got dropped, and I don't think he had the watch tower at that moment, so he didn't see the protoss army moving towards his 4th proceeding to kill all his ghosts. Overconfidence in his position lost MKP the game. MvP figured Protoss would go standard with his scouting, but even with 2 sentries he didn't go nexus, he went robo. Really non-standard build, and it completely tricked mvp, who had gone fast 3 CC's. I feel like the Protoss could have killed MvP if he had followed up with 2-3 more gates rather than the nexus, but he decided just to pressure, and with the bunkers barely not going up he managed to get a good position down the ramp, allowing the warped in zealots to kill a substantial amount of scvs. Honestly, I think the Protoss build was risky, and if mvp had built the bunkers seconds earlier, mvp would have won that game easily. This was bad luck for mvp, and the game was basically lost after that. Always hate this kind of "what if" analysis. They made mistakes because of opponents' decision and disguises. And no need to rationalize, it is just one game. With the small skill gaps among top Koreans, anything can happen, especially when KeSPA players have much better preparation scheme than GSL guys. | ||
