But his dominant run through the summer was quite impressive.
Taeja didn't really win that much. He won a not so stacked MLG arena and a Dreamhack (which never was really stacked). His runs in the GSL were good, but never that impressing. He got hyped a lot because he is on Team Liquid and played well and stable during that time. But you can't call that domination, because he lost series on a regular basis back then, when he ran in a top end player.

In teamleagues he basically dominated everyone.
Even back when he was on SlayerS, I'd say teamleagues are his strength.

wow come on now. Taeja was on the biggest steamroll ever.
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IPL_Team_Arena_Challenge/3/Statistics
1st Taeja 23-3 with 2 all-kills
2nd Revival 12-3 (which is impressive if Taeja isnt around)

mkp got lucky he didnt have to face mvp.

wow, wtf mvp. You should have dropped out after season 4 and do surgery/ get rest. Trying to stay in code S was a mistake. Now I really wish you will drop down to Code B.

The fuck? You never know what people know or don't know. There was nothing wrong with him pointing that out to you. You're just being a sensitive, little girl.

All I have to do is play like MKP! Actually that won't get you too far, lol. At least not in TvZ I can see why you think that since people want to hate his style for being stupid and gimmicky. But for all the hate, people dismiss him because he gets owned by near the final elimination rounds while forgetting he's one of the few non-zergs left in those very elimination rounds. He's one of the top performing players in terms of non-zergs period. That's hard to believe, but if you remove the zerg domination, you'll realize it's true and check his results 1) 2 back to back ro8 finish in GSL. (this season he's already made it to ro16, one of the 3/9 terrans to make it so far) 2) Last non-zerg in Iron Squid 3) Numericle House Cup 4) Last non-zerg round of HSC6 Seriously, he's no longer a champion contender, but his style gets him far. His style is stupid, it's gimmicky, but for all intents and purposes it's put him in top 5 terran in terms of results in the past few months. EDIT: miscounted something
Yeah, well, let's do this really, now:
- Last Non-zerg in Ironsquid => because he played protoss up to Ro4 => then got rolled by Life & Nestea. He had also lost to Scarlett in group stage.
- HSC6 => beat Ret & Xlord... Yay.
- GSL4 => lost to Curious, beat Jaedong (who was just starting) and Curious in Ro16 (through lol metagame) loses to Life (3 zergs out of 8 in that round)
- GSL5 => 2-1 Sniper and Hyun, I haven't seen the games.
So yeah apart from GSL5 I don't see that much greatness vs zergs in this whole thing... He's clearly good, but his TvZ isn't anything special to look at right now and I don't see how the results you've posted speak otherwise.

He destroyed sniper and hyun last season mmm and mech. They were the two finalists, that alone is more than any other terran has done. Keep in mind tvz winrates have been around 35% to 40% for terran in the last few months. Mkp is mainly a top player now because he has top 3 tvp and tvt, no terran on the planet is good at tvz

My main point is that his style gets him far.
I never really said his TvZ is strong and no terran has really strong TvZ lately and still doesn't. You can only really make a case for Bomber, but his TvZ is arguably as gimmicky and inconsistent as MKP's.
Just saying his style gets him far and he's a top 5 terran.
I don't get how what you said contradicts anything I said... soo... huh.
EDIT: The reason I removed the zerg finishers out of the equation is because I wanted to make a case about MKP relative to his non-zerg peers. And relative to his non-zerg peers he has performed fantastically. The idea is that even if you lose horribly to all these zergs, you're still doing better than everyone else that is playing "correctly" and whom think MKP's style is a gimmick.
EDIT2: Let me highlight this again:
The idea is that even if you lose horribly to all these zergs, you're still doing better than everyone else that is playing "correctly" and whom think MKP's style is a gimmick.
When I say everyone else, I mean non-zergs for the most part. There are only a few non-zergs whom have performed better than him these past few months.

PPl talk down mkp because he lost to life (which every terran does) and lost to Nestea in an insignificant match.

I'm sorry I was expecting you to talk about MKP's TvZ since you answered to someone who said MKP style won't get you far in TvZ... It was a mistake on my part.

No worries, sorry if I came off as hostile.
I wanted to make a relative case. Not an absolute case.
His TvZ sucks, but sucks NOT AS BADLY as most terrans IMO.
