 , the cutest terran alive.Cant you edit your post and add him again (before he notices this awfull omission) I dont know, its difficult to pinpoint a terran king, contrary to toss and zerg where only a few people would compete for the title So manny good terrans  1-Polt (no probably not, but i like him) 2-Marineking. 3-MVP (hearsaying, never realy seen manny games from him, nor been impressed by the ones i saw but apearently hes kinda good) 4-Bomber. | ||

MKP is good, he wins, but I don't think you can call him the top terran. MMA and Jjakji are both better IMO. It was very humble of MKP to say, but its far from the truth. Heart pushed DRG with complete standard and I might say MKP playes a lot better marine/tank style compared to Heart. He didn't really play all that gimmicky, he played one timing push but other than that, 1 game bio with insane control and macro behind it. Its not gimmicky, its just a different style. | ||

Zerg relies heavily on droning hard and responding as late as possible to get econ lead. Random new timings are a lot more punishing to Zergs than T or P. | ||

It's precisely MKP's style to play various and unpredictable strats. He's not saying that DRG is better than he is (in fact he hasn't said that at all, wtf), he is acknowledging DRG's strength by having to use the full spectrum of his play and not the common standard "safe" strats, which is what would do MKP at 20% of his strength (*wink*). I'm assuming by that he's talking about reactor hellion expand into marine tanks and other standard expand builds into standard compositions. He meant that if you only spam that against DRG, it won't work, because DRG is good enough to abuse your predictability that's all. Again, one of MKP's strengths is his unpredictability. It's not like he had to force himself to do "weird" stuff to win, in fact, I don't think he even cheesed successfully once, even though he could have. It's just how he plays, and it defeated the best Zerg in the world resoundingly this week-end. MKP is way ahead of jjakji by far (remember MKP's all kill of NHSH not long ago...and MKP's won a ridiculous amount of games against jjakji, in TvT which is not his best matchup). MMA is very good, and I would put him ahead of MKP if it wasn't for his horrendous TvP. MKP's TvP is just masterful. | ||

MMA can't seem to win against players that aren't MVP, and MKP has two outside-of-korea championships but has yet to claim the GSL gold despite MVP's current slumping and "injury" it's only a matter of time before he gets back to where he was I don't know if MMA will be able to continue his TvT domination now that Ganzi and Taeja have left the SlayerS house either, and MMA has a habit of falling apart to players before getting to the finals and MKP is good, I'm a huge MKP fan and it's obvious that he's improved to the point where it's not just all flashy micro, but he's nowhere as smart as MVP | ||

However, while I am a huge MKP fan, I will admit that MVP was the best until he had his injury, and it's probably only a matter of time until he makes a comeback. I do have to wonder, though, if he could take down MKP if they had another rematch. Part of me gets the feeling that MKP has learned from his "kongness" and is a lot less likely to choke in the finals than he used to be. Also, we see him using more and more builds that are less predictable, so the chances that MVP can simply cheese him out or play a straight up macro mech game and win are less and less likely. The days of "I train marines, you build tanks, I die" are over. The other side of the coin is, MKP is the master of TvP, and also dominates TvZ. Part of the strength that players like MVP and MMA have drawn on is their sheer ability to excel in TvT. Now that the amount of Code S Terrans is (finally) starting to dwindle to a more balanced amount, TvT is less important than ever. If the previous Kings of Terran can't learn to deal with the other matchups soon, MKP will remain far ahead of them. | ||
