Which is where all the "Prestige" is. But the fact that he did win a big tournament and then hit a slump and then started winning again does probably make him better then Gumiho. But the reason Gumiho is probably up there is because of how f'ing fast he is. If you've ever matched him on the ladder it feels like you are getting hit, and those punches are really weak but they are so fast that you eventually get knocked out lol. My notes on MKP being Terran King: This is beside the point of him winning two MLG's because people like to jump on the bandwagon of who wins the next tournament = best player in the world. But if you ever got to watch MKP from replays on BNet where he actually is hands down the best player when it comes too online play. The thing holding him back has been his nerves and hes still not playing 100%. When he plays from his house, or team house (wherever he plays bnet from) it looks exactly how you'd think Flash/Jd/Bisu are going to play the game. Nearly absolutely perfect play. Starting out with aggressive cheesey builds and if they don't work he has a solid macro plan to follow up on. MKP has been the best terran since GSL Open S2, but his nerves have always gotten the best of him. I find it hard to correctly judge a player that far back with nerves taken into account. You're essentially saying that MKP would have beaten MVP in the two finals where they met, if MKP wasn't affected by his nerves? How can you know this is the case? | ||

sure MKP is doing great, but if MVP had showed up to this MLG, would he definitely been a contender to win? what about MMA? He beats DRG regularly too. MKP shows that he is a great terran, but I don't know if I'm ready to definitively call him better than MMA/MVP both of whom have suffered a lack of exposure simply from not playing that many matches in 2012 | ||

MVP spent months last year absolutely thrashing everyone in the world, including MKP. Getting your nerves under control is part of greatness, and you can't be considered the best if you crumble under pressure like MKP did so often. | ||

The question here is who is the best, not who has the potential to be the best even though their nerves stop them from proving it.. MVP still. | ||

The fact is that he is solid in ALL match-ups, and shines in each one in a different way. MKP's speciality is TvP, MMA TvZ, aLive TvT, but nobody (maybe TaeJa, but still) has been able to master all three match-ups in the same fashion as Mvp. ... ... Also the 3 GSLs doesn't hurt. | ||

MMA is amazing against Zerg, but his other match ups don't seem as good i place him 3rd | ||

People have been shaking in fear for months from simply hearing his name. So no, MKP is not the "Terran King". He'll have to win and dominate everything for a little longer. On another note, why in the hell does my browser warn me because of malware when I'm trying to open the first page of this thread. lol | ||

but this already unstable setting will be tested when BW progamers come, i hope "our" current terrans can show that their play and competion amounts to more than can be beaten in a few months of practice, but i am very excited how BW players will approach this. | ||

Basically, I think there are the big 4 right now: MVP (Obvious reasons, despite his slump he is still incredibly good and now is in the semifinals) MMA (2nd most accomplished Terran in GSL after MVP, strong showings in IEM, IPL, Iron Squid, and until recently, GSL) MKP (Dominated MLG, did very well in GSTL for his team) aLive (Very strong GSL performance until this season, won IPL 4, going to Paris for Iron Squid) Can't really say there is 1 player out of these 4 who really is above the rest. I'm an MMA fan, so naturally I think he would be the best, but this list is my attempt to be as objective as possible. | ||
