it feels like i'm the only one who thinks that MKP is just a not that great player . thought that he was kinda cheesy in season 2 and has been so ever since. yeah he got his marines and he can micro them "woo" but... feels like he deserves the silver title to me.
it's a good day to die

Thanks again for all the kind words. Amazing that this article that I wrote on the spur of the moment got so many replies.

I'm pretty sure I'll try to write something for the semifinals or finals depending on if I have motivation. The first semifinal set already has a great storyline set to it that I somewhat touched on in this article.

You also have MarineKing, the guy who idolized Boxer and even started his career using his idol's name, against the guy who has learned the most from Boxer, has been taken under Boxer's wing, and is being called Boxer's Son. They are also, currently, two of the top four terrans in the world (Boxer and MVP excluded), so it'll be a great match.

MKP really showed up TheBest's openings.. he just brushed them aside and seems to know the perfect time to attack, even early on in the game. was really insightful to see

Polt's always been underrated (seriously, double SK Champions Trophy winner and people still don't respect him), and I'm happy to see him advance this far in the Super Tournament. Hopefully now that he's out of university he can concentrate on his mid-late game transition and truly beast it up.

Incredible write up. I rarely read close to half of this type of prelude in the past but I read yours all the way through.

You should be.

All 3 times he placed second it was to the best player in the world at the time, nothing to be ashamed of. He's widely acknowledged as one of the best players and one of the most feared players by every Korean.

This time he's the best player left and should not lose.

I hope he does well, seeing him getting knocked 1st round in the last 2 GSL code-s is crushing my heart.

I don't know why people hate TvT so much, but I guess everyone has preferences.

Anyone who didn't know, GSL starts four hours earlier tonight - in about 20 minutes, so if you usually can't stay up and watch the games due to the time difference, this would be a great night to check it out. I think Polt vs. Alicia, the first match of the night, might produce some of the best matches we've seen the whole tournament.

Alicia and Polt have forsaken me.

At least Line/TOP was pretty damn awesome.

Also I don't know if I want to write a semifinals piece or not. There are some great storylines going on for the final four, but I don't know if I can write a semifinal piece and then have a grand final article sound redundant.

Poll: Should I write a semifinal piece on the Super Tournament?

Yes (40)
 
85%

Wait for the Grand Finals (7)

Your vote: Should I write a semifinal piece on the Super Tournament?

(Vote): Yes
(Vote): Wait for the Grand Finals

Polt vs MKP in Finals and then it would be first final teamkill in the GSL Finals I think.
Then it won't be just for the grand prize of 100m won but also for the title of OptimusPrime! One shall stand one shall fall!

Someone really needs to ask MKP or Polt if the name Optimus still goes to the first Prime member to win a title.

MarineKing's name has become pretty synonymous with him now. I don't know if he would actually change it. Polt, on the other hand, could reach a whole new level of cool as Optimus.

It's just you. Mkp is a top 5 player and a top 3 terran. Like it or not mkp is part of the top tier.
