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.


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 yes, but Taeja no. I've never been impressed with Taeja and he was only good for 2 months last summer. Life is 7-0 against taeja recently and hero is like 7-0 against him too. MKP's tvz is terribad these days, but taeja's isn't any better, but mkp's tvp is far superior than taeja who has always had bad tvp. MKP destroyed hero in iron squid, and taeja has gotten dominated by hero a lot recently with the games not even being close. MKP has always been the better player than taeja and still is today, it's just he loses all his tvz but still wins tvp and tvp pretty well.


Bad analysis, but you can feel free to not be impressed with TaeJa. But his TvZ is still good, he's won plenty of TvZ even after being dominated by Life. Life is barely even zerg, he's something else far more dangerous... Ignoring his meetings with Life, since he lost to Life in GSL he's 29-11 against non-Life zergs. That's a pretty good winrate....

You should worry less about his tvz and more on his tvp

Yeah I know. T_T I've rooted for many of the Protoss players he's played through the last year as well, so I feel bad about that. His TvP is in a seriously bad state, while his TvT and TvZ remain near best in the world. TvP is going to kill him in all future tournaments though, unless he gets lucky.

Oh wow, DRG won thatsmall skirmish nicely, but his economy is still in tatters. Now Life has maxxed and DRG is hugely behind in supply. But he takes another great battle! :O This is very exciting.

Terrible position for an engagement for Life. Now it's in DRG's favour again.

Life has much better economy, he can afford to be cost inefficient. Why is Day9 talking as if Life is behind?


it`s an "illusion!!!".....*facepalm*

Day9's casting has been a bit off recently, I remember in WCS he made the weirdest calls on PartinG vs Socke, claiming Socke was ahead when he got destroyed.

Wow, nice back and forth game there
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)
