Biggest retirement? How about the Fruitdealer? P

MKP is/was a far more relevant player than fruitdealer.

early/mid 2012 afaik

he was still relevant up until hots, placing in top4 ISQ2 and reaching RO16 for six seasons in a row with two RO8s in the last two seasons of 2012


I agree he wasn't irrelevant - but calling Ro16 "results" is a bit generous though.

At least switch to Dota 2. This is embarrasing to the starcraft 2 community. At least I'd still hold lots of respect for going into a competitive game like dota 2. Don't get me wrong i respect marineking for his amazing games and effort he put into starcraft but this is just.... no.


But LoL is more competitive - more fans, more money, higher quality of tournaments.

And let's not pretend DotA is not casual - it was that map everyone played because they sucked at Warcraft.

As for the news - expected. There are not a lot more money than the SC2 scene and there is little incentive for new sponsors to chime in, moving to the biggest eSport game is the smart move.

Doesn't mean I won't miss him.



LoL worlds barely got more viewers than the TI3 finals. (LoL was at 1.4m, I don't remember exactly what the final number for TI3 was including all sources such as Highwind, but it was over 1m).


ahah

LoL was 1.4m without Chinese stream, Korean stream and Korean TV.

It's already been published by Riot members that conservative numbers for the total concurrent viewes are around 6 million.

Korean tv ALONE had 3-4 million viewers.

well in the case of Ro16s, he was the only player to make it to at least the Ro16 in every season of GSL in 2012

Personally this is the biggest SC2 retirement news ever. MKP was an idol to me.

this is really terrible.

with all the talk of people quitting SC2 because they have no passion for the game, this is the one that sticks, because MKP had more passion for SC2 than anyone.

fuck.

Pretty sad watching old timers fall down and leave the game.
5th player to retire in Oct alone, probably more with the WJS guys..

Need more fun events to push down this depressing shit!


Don't worry the circlejerk is fast approaching with Redbull's event and then Blizzcon. It'll be the event everyone needs as a pick me up. The important thing of course is what happens with SC2 and the scene immediately afterwards.

MarineKing invented Marine splitting renderering Banelings in small groups useless. Skill ceiling reached on Xel-Naga´Caverns. Thanks Blizzard.
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Bummer, but I expected as much. MKP has not been doing as well in hots and he is a young guy. Sad, but not a huge suprise.

Even though I hated him when he debuted for eliminating Fruitdealer with his super abusive style he grew on me over the years and I'm actually really sad to see him go.

Hopefully he'll fail horribly in LoL and come back to us

It's also far more competitive and has a less likelihood to output money.

this is so dumb anyway.

Prime hastily left ESF and GSTL with a vain hope of joining kespa so they could get lol dollars. it's obvioulsy not going to happen, but they're putting together teams of scrubs to wave their hands around and attract some attention. this whole thing just looks so amateur to me. and even in this situation, MKP is a substitute player. does anyone actually think this is going to work out? there's a better chance of Prime being sued for using the Optimus Prime name than of them having any success.

Nooooo

I will never forget when he knocked out fruitdealer and introduced us to 2 rax marinens then with the nickname Boxer.

Why so many retirements. LoTV isn't even out yet.

Does anybody know which role he plays? Something tells me ADC ;D

Looking forward to seeing just how well Prime teams will do, gl hf MarineKing ^_^ (Unless they make it into Champions and play the Bullets or Frost/Blaze, then I'll cheer against them)

Wow. This is disappointing news. He was one of my favourite terrans. His marine splits never failed to amaze me.
Well. Good luck to him I guess.
