Marineking mediocre cheesy player?? This guy is so solid - joy to watch him play games where he is so aggressive and puts so much faith in his micro to do good damage with small pushes!

If I knew this was going on then I wouldn't have been surprised.

Glad that he's managed to maintain this level of success.

I think Idra was right in expecting MC to come out of his group second. Marineking is strong

just to clarify

an all-kill is defined as defeating four people in a row (in a bo7 format)
a reverse all-kill is defined as defeating four people in a row after your team has lost their three games (in a bo7 format)

so he only did it once.

"only" did it once, other was merely a 3 win streak, right? pffft lost interest
-.-

I can't believe how much MKP hate is out there (not in this thread, just in general). I was at a tournament like the day before GSL season 2 finals and everyone there was talking about how cheesy he is. I can't recall a single game where he SCV all in's and half the time he expos before taking a gas. Since when is that cheese?

I play Zerg and MKP is by FAR my favorite Terran... getting to the finals of season 2, top 8 season 3, this performance, and he's got 3 accounts in the top 200.. balla status. Personally I think he and MVP are by far the best Terrans out there.

MKP plays a way that nobody else can... and if nothing else that makes him awesome.

I was a hater (or more like a skeptic) during gsl 2 when people were overhyping him purely based on a few BO3s and mainly due to his then seemingly one dimensional style. By now he has certainly established himself as a very good player and he does vary his style quite a bit. Even if marines was still all he did, I'd take that over gsl 3 scv all-ins any day. GSL needs solid players like him who tend to make few mistakes and are confident enough not to just bunker rush/scv all-in every game.

IIRC he was the first (in GSL) to bring scvs along with his marines which eventaully lead to everyone doing scv all-ins. He's the guy that made stuff like that popular.

I recall him mainly doing the marine+SCV all in in the GSL S2 finals, where he all-ined during the first and seventh sets.

He may have popularized the marine+SCV all-in, but he doesn't use it as much as other players that he has influenced (*cough*BitByBit*cough*). I think people are being way to harsh on him since he plays relatively standard in a majority of his games.

People cant argue against Marineking, at all ever.

Insane micro.
Spot on macro and timings.
Devastating judgement.

=

2nd place GSL2 (only player to take even 1 game off Nestea, going 3-4)
Top8 place GSL3 (lost 1-3 to the eventual champion)
2nd place GOMTV Showdown tourny
3rd place Gainward StarCraft II Tournament

All-kill protoss.
All-kill oGs etcetectectetctetcettcttetct ETC
etc

Only a mater of time before the 2nd places become first places. This kid has the ability to play macro games, hes talented.

He is really good.

Don't know why so many people dislike his play, IMO his terran is 2nd to IMmvp overall and that's about it. MC and him will probably come out tops tomorrow (but i voted for jinro anyways since i like him more)
