Really nice win by Rain. Always nice to watch an anticlimatic bit by bit getting wrecked. On the other hand I'm happy to see MKP back in the business. Except this one weird scv pull, he looks in a pretty good shape and may be able to get into code S or some big tournaments playoffs.
Was a bit of a messy game for Rain, I wonder if he has practiced PvT at all since he has an all protoss group in GSL and didn't have to play terran in ro32

he looks better than when he left SC2, but of course it's too early to tell. hopefully the next few weeks shed more light.

Why?
I am just trolling, except for him getting crushed, I am not trolling about that.
MKP is one of the very few Terran players that I really dislike, that is probably the reason.
MKP is so likable imo. may i ask your reason why you dislike him?
severely limited player managing to make himself relevant in a bad game. if this was bw he would never make it out of ogn qualifiers
couldn't you say that about a lot of sc2 pros??? (the ones who were either 'bad' at bw or didnt play bw) but what is your point?
MKP's micro is also really good so I don't see the point about BW... I guess there must be some people to hate his personality (I personally don't) or play style (I personnaly don't like SCV pulls but it's not like he often does it), but one cannot say his style wouldn't be good for BW imo.

Some shit trickled in from the left, maybe he was hoping the Collosus army was over there (as it had defended that reasonable pressure earlier) and was gonna get caught with its pants down.

prime plays CJ next week, I BELIEVE IN PRIME
mkp vs herO ace match!! xD i know it wont happen but i can hope.

Prime should've won this series, but MKP... Idk what happened in his head. And I don't know what was up with the casters... "MKP'S GOT TOO MUCH!" There's like 5 Colossi standing vs half a dozen bio units...
This is T v P. He was on a timer, theres ffs so no amount of mirco is going to get all your forces engaging the protoss army it never happens unless the toss is backed into the corner. T v P is about damage control on the fly man and usually for someone who displays a distinct lack of thought or foresight in his games because of his overwhelming emotion I thought he actually had a good grasp on the game and the right thought process. It wasnt a throw either. Protoss as is, is really tough for terran and considering that toss was RAIN who has mechanical ability up the ying yang it was an impressive showing.

As if you didn't learn to re-locate your main on Habitation Station.
Nothing tops what MKP did with his MM army on creep vs KyrixZenith speed banes
A lot tops that actually
What the hell are you smoking lol. I'm not a MKP fan and not a prime fan but Kyrix MKP game 2 (i think) is the best micro i have EVER seen for a terran.
But those baneling control are not good and MKP was on creep for the game against Kyriux.....
It's nowhere impressive.... the guy is rolling bane left and right and don't know what to do. No bane splits. I guess it's a foreigner with those banes ? It's not korean value (also ok kyrix was not near the level we have today. At least he splited his bane)
MarineKing was barely on the creep at all. Most of his micro was off creep in the middle of the tree things (still impressive - but not on creep)
Unless the highlight video missed that out, which I doubt it, as it would have been the main focal point of the micro
Maybe you're right.
But the baneling controls on the happy vids are just BAD (ok i'm gold) but from a watcher perspective this is bad micro for a gm with banes
