I didn't get MKP's plan either, it's like he was going for standard bio play but chose to be passive with it.

yeah the only reasonable explanation is that scarlett is miles ahead of MKP in terms of skill. Its obvious!

No, the only reasonable explanation is that MKP played a bad game.

Individual games or even series say nothing about skill.

you guys forget that terrans have to at least move out and engage the zerg every once in awhile. Lets not just blame Scarlet here because marineking didnt harass, didnt drop, didnt do anything to get her away from her build he just let her build up. On top of that most terrans would still drop harass and stuff but marineking just kept letting the creep spread and engaged her head on.

If you really think imbalance played a factor in that game and that was not Scarlett's absurd mechanics and MKP's passivity then I don't think SC2 is a game you will enjoy watching. It's beyond obvious. Done with the discussion, hope the next game goes the same way if only to make a point about Scarlett's mechanics.

Well, MKP's play was awfully uninspired in that game

I know Scarlett is a fantastic player, but ZvT just shouldn't look this easy for the zerg.

I dunno, just awkward to watch.

Zerg is macro race, if you play macro game you die :D

You can play macro games vs Zerg. "Macro" doesn't mean you're not allowed to harass or attack before 15 minutes.

The problem is you can only play "macro" games against zergs (straight up no attacking) if its on a massive open map like Whirlwind, because Brood Lords are weak there, but on a map like Ohana, it's almost impossible to abuse the slow brood lords, its up to the zerg to not stop drops.

Sadly it would not be a live report without people complaining.


Yeah scarlett showed good mechanics, but imo it shouldnt be 200 vs 200 army, terran loses everything in literally 10 seconds while zerg loses next to nothing, except for banes which are suicidal

Remember Bomber vs DRG on Ohana? Bomber was dropping everywhere with Bio and constantly pressuring DRG with no avail. He ends up winning because he wasn't passive despite being down in economy (I think) and bought his way back. A player like MKP should have used his multi-tasking and Bio micro to constantly pressure the Zerg, not just turtle up with Bio when it is almost guaranteed a few Fungals would end it there.

Because every Zerg in the world has mechanics that good.. seriously there are ZERO other zergs in tournaments currently who can creep the whole map in 12:00. Either her opponents need to step up and deal with it or they can expect to get strangled by creep the whole game.

To be fair, they seemed to enjoy it. But, I suspect is because of their biases.

I dont understand the game plan from Marineking

I always thought this was standard for MKP?

sit back and do nothing for 14 min is standard? he usually puts at least a little pressure on

I meant the no gameplan part. He usually just stumbles into a win with solid mechanics and super aggression.

One Raven, one, instead of wasting so many Mules worth of scans.... Terrans keep saying "OMG how am I supposed to put a tech lab on a Starport?" How do you get Banshees? How did Flash do it against Zenio?

all hes tank was in the middle of trying to siege. if most of your units cant attack. moving unto creep and doing that, then yes you should lose them in 10s because the zerg sees what you are doing and you have no way of attacking back

Scarlett did win the WCS NA championship, best NA player, 24,000 dollars for her achievement, she's a good player no doubt but MKP just sat back and figured scarlett would leave. 0 workers killed in an entire match? Whaat?

It's not usually that one-sided, mkp just engaged horribly and got everything fungaled. He fucked up his control

Defense is a lot easier with creep spread that good (the best in the world, period)... she could see anything coming a mile off. Don't know what MKP's plan is though - turtle in base and a-move into her army? Really weird.


Well, that was her plan. Maybe MKP thinks that is the reason Zergs have been so successful lately. His decision making has never been, uh...well, even adequate, really.
