What can be so weird about Starcraft is that for a few months you can watch someone who seems unbeatable. I mean, there was a time when MKP was one of the greatest. Now he just feels like a punching bag.



A lot of Terran's TvZ went to the shitter after the queen buff.


MKP in an interview said that his TvZ winrate in practice dropped to 10%. He's never fully recovered.

When his TvZ was unbeatable he utilized a lot of early pressure and capitalized on his superior micro: combat shield timings, marine helion banshee pressure, 2 rax, etc. None of those builds are viable anymore.


honestly I was never impressed with his TvZ. Just feels like he's ridiculously greedy without the cerebral aspect of Flash, Bomber or MVP to get away with it consistently. Pretty good if he manages to get rolling though. It's why Symbol 3-0'd him last Iron Squid before the queen patch.


Yeah, his success wasn't based on intelligent play that much. He got away with greed when he wanted to, and had amazing micro, and good macro mechanics. But he wasn't a thinking player, and his decisionmaking was always poor. The terran players who are still good today, like Mvp and TaeJa, are all great thinkers, able to reinvent themselves, all having great decisionmaking. Mvp is the ultimate example, not abusing a specific metagame, or having metagame luck (As so many players have had over the years), but reinventing the metagame and thinking on a very high level about the game.

I don't even really care about this match but I have to watch because the tournament is just SO DAMN GOOD!
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Heaven's Devils is amazing, what you talking about.

There might be a couple of good ones in SC2, but if you compare the two games pretty much every one of the SC1 songs are better. In my opinion, of course.
I am here in the shadows.

And it'll be a while until we get another one.

Unless DRG beats Life and Stephano somehow beats DRG in GSL which is pretty unlikely.
