I remember an interview where he was somehow involved in marineking choosing prime though from wayyyyy back Maybe it had something to do with Marineking being part of the clan as BoxeR. i dont remember the exact details | ||

Would have made for a better story. :/ I must have noticed something about July around that time and overlapped that somehow. gg bad memory | ||

It's just that these days being a good mechanical player won't get you anywhere without the decision-making to back it up. If the trade lock ends and he gets snatched up by KeSPA, then I think he'll have another good shot at a championship. I honestly don't know why he's still on Prime, except for maybe loyalty, but that's not going to win you trophies nor make you money ... @ Zenbrez: Other eSF teams do ladder a lot, but Prime in particular is known for mass laddering for practice. | ||

Yeah, but that's just Life, bro. :D Wouldn't use him as a counterexample (or example) for "standard." Anyways, I think in interviews he said he laddered up until the Ro4, then he started actually practicing with teammates iirc? It can't have all been just ladder though, because if that were the case, he would've broken out on ZeNEX. Having a structured practice schedule, a supportive environment, and decent coaching probably played a large role in his rise. (Rumors abound saying that Prime is lacking in all three of these categories. Funny tidbit: ST used to be known as a team for having the least rigorous practice schedules.) | ||

But, that will be overshadowed if Day 3 is a bust. Here's hoping that no matter who wins, the quality of play stays as high as its been. | ||

Still, I really want to see Mvp and MarineKing on IM together for so many reasons... MarineKing is solid mechanically, so why not have Mvp mentor him? Mvp knows what's up in terms of build orders, strategies, tactics, mind games, mental strength, etc. Now that I put it that way, I think Coach Mvp would be imba. | ||
