Well first of all you are being a dick about it. The way you are wording it comes across as very condescending. Also you are stating your opinion that "Reddit's taste in SC2 talent is really questionable" when it isn't a matter of talent and you are even now acknowledging that. I don't get what your point is. They invited a player they enjoy with their own money, and then you are trying to talk down on them because you feel MKP doesn't have enough talent? They aren't even related. Explain? | ||

Deserving as far as talent and results go? Sure. Deserving in terms of foreign interaction (his twitter is regularly updated in English), foreign interest, foreign fan numbers, probably not many more deserving than MKP. | ||

OK so if you wanted to see another korean terran at MLG why haven't you sponsored him to go? | ||

Please, show us your superior taste in player choices by sponsoring a player of your own. Pretty sure the community would be thankful to you for that. | ||

Did you put money in? Seems like you didn't so yeah, what does it matter? Feel free to start a campaign for a player you want at MLG. | ||

There are a lot of people saying how silly it is to pay for a 'rich' korean to come play, but I think they are focusing on the negative too much. I think it sends a great message to American and Korean sponsors, that we love seeing these players play so much, we are willing to spend some of our own money to get them here. I do agree that doing it all the time, or even often, could be a bad thing. If they were to start expecting us to pay for them to come to events, it would be silly. TL;DR - I donated 2.22$ and that means my opinion matters on the internets! | ||

Aside from Nestea. MarineKing has probably the best results out of any Terran besides MVP, has shown he can be a monster and is a very likable person. | ||

Pretty awesome of the community I am always shocked at how willing people are to support some players. This is the best news I've heard all week. I like MKP, not because he has amazing marine control, but he really shows how much he cares about the game. Good luck little guy! | ||

People are supporting MKP because he openly shows how much he cares the game and how he plays. I was sold on him when he was nearly crying after beating MC in the GSL semi finals. The kid won, but he was so emotional. The people at Reddit are hoping by supporting him, he will put in the effort and have a good showing. The Red Sox lost for nearly 100 years, but people kept cheering for them. I don't think people were thinking "Should I be cheering for these guys?" all those years. They were thinking, "If I cheer enough, will it help them win?" I know I wasn't. | ||

And I would have preferred MKP over Hongun, so everyone who complained about racial balance, this is the other edge of that sword. | ||
