Maybe if MKP plays standard, he'll win a GSL.

I just hope Goody wasn't watching that game. He'd probably have a heart-attack after all of those unseiged tanks got massacred.

MKP has this theory that he needs to mix up things constantly, instead of just using the style that maxmimizes his winning chances.

This is what I always disliked about MKP. You should only use a different style if it has synergies with your other kind of openings. Like making a 11/11 once a while is pretty good if you normally opens 1 rax gasless expand, as your opponent now has to prepare for both builds. However, this mech opening has no syngergy with his bio play, and most likely he has better chances of winning by just going bio.

Someone like MVP is a master of this. He has figured out a few bo's for each matchup that looks similar but in reality requires a completely different reaction from his opponent.

I think he just expects these white guys to be a whole lot worse than him. But even white protoss > mech

Yes that is exactly why he should just play standard. Or maybe he isn't playing to optimizing winning chances. Maybe he is just playing for the lolz. Who knows.

Uh-oh this looks scary for MKP. Super greedy colossus build is really strong.
