If by hottest terran on the planet you mean he wins two foreign tournaments but fails to perform well in the GSL, then sure. MMA has the results in both korean and foreign tournaments to back up HIS throne.

Nah. Throne is still empty.

MKP is the hottest Terran on the planet, but needs a GSL win to actually step up to fill the void left by MVP's fall.

Agreed.
MKP is the strongest pretender atm. What's only missing is a GSL title. But man was he godly at that last MLG oO.

Can we just stop picking some other random player every other month to be "the best in the world" or "the best of race x".
MKP still hasn't done well in gsl in about a year. MVP has been slacking recently even though he was by far the most successful player last year. MMA also hasn't done shit this year, but at the end of last year he looked incredibly good. Also alive is better at tvt then any of the three. If any terran actually dominates for a long period of time for once, we can start talking about a true k ing.

What does MMA have? A GSL? 6 Months ago? A couple cheese-wins vs. Mvp? Thats not enough buddy. MMA didn´t even get as far as Mvp in November when Mvp started to slump.
The only King of Terran was Mvp, and with Mvp being injured and slumping there is no king at the moment.

Ppl are saying MKP isnt there yet because he hasnt won a GSL. But imho MLG is much harder to win due to the tournament structure. At GSL you get a week to prepare for just a few matches and at MLG you dont even know who you are gonna play the next half hour in some cases. I rate ppl alot higher who have to depend on their creativity and on the fly play then ppl who win tournaments who get ages to prepare for single opponents(or maybe 2 or 3 in group play). Even though MVP is really good I think in the previous tournaments it has really shown that he has trouble with the amount stamina an MLG requires. The same goes for Nestea. Amazing in GSL but not so much in MLG style. MKP in this case has impressed me so much this MLG with his insanely good micro and marcro its clear that he isnt the same MKP from a few months back. Therefore I dare to say MKP is the best player overall at the moment!

The difference is also that the GSL offers time to prepare, time to rest, and no jet lag before finals. It also doesn't provide a easy journey as long as a player stays in the winners bracket not does it have a extended series final. I could argue that playing against a fully rested and 100% prepared opponent each round is much harder than running through a few players in a row. At least that's how most team sports work and sports like MMA, you prepare for a specific opponent that you study and try to solve (Barcelona vs Real Madrid or Shogun vs Machida).

There's pros and cons to both tournament formats but there's less external factors to winning a GSL compared to a MLG, especially for koreans.

Yes ofcourse its harder to play against a fully rested opponent. But coming fully prepared for the opponent's tactics weighs in alot bigger I think and therefore making it easier on them. Also the fact that you CAN be fully rested makes it easier on players. Like I said I rate creativity and on the fly play and the amount of stamina an MLG takes alot higher then the GSL style tournament. Its a personal preference.
