MKP was always and will be my favorite player. Even though I don't watch SC2 anymore, it was always nice to see MKP compete and I anxiously awaited every result (The last few months only losses sadly :/). Anyway, all the best for him in LoL.

Gl to MKP, at least we have Maru left, aka mkp 2.0

In scII i think protoss is the most non-entertaining race.
in TvP protoss doesnt really have to do that much, terran micros the fuck out of bio and drop-play.
protoss mostly a moves with deathball.
same story in PvZ.

Zerg might not be as entertaining compared to terran but there is a lot of ling runby and mutalisk action.

It would be cool if protoss would have to do more blink micro or something like that, atm its all about the colossus or storms, mostly colossus.

Wouldn't make alot of sense to retire if you kept winning alot

jk, i know what you mean


I think this is the crux of the problem, truly, you can only survive in the SC2 arena if you are winning a lot. There are no heavy sponsors or any other reliable sources of income to support long-term slumps or B-teamers. And while this is excusable for a newcomer...well SC2 already has a few graying hairs.

That quote says the opposite though. He says it's no longer just the rats leaving, implying that SC2 is dying, etc. But in reality, yeah, it's just "rats" leaving, that is, people who haven't had any result in ages - or never had any.

not jangbi, nor puzzle or coca when they left the first time

Puzzle and Coca happened in an entirely different context (And their results were bad at the end, no? They had fallen off prior to retiring the first time), it also didn't happen during the doomsday scenario some people are painting right now to be. :p Jangbi, meh, you can say he was getting better, but he also didn't have time to actually do anything except get a win here and there.

I didn't expect him switching to LoL, but I didn't expect either that MKP would be stuck for so long in Challenger League/Code A.
He has such good micro skills and I thought he would do well with Widow Mines and Afterburners. Maybe he was getting tired of being stuck in Challenger League or tired of the game. I hope he just needs a break and that he will come back in better shape.
I don't think Prime's LoL Team will gain much in LoL, but I guess neither would Prime's Sc2-Team. I think Prime will disband in the next month. I see it coming!

PS: Sorry for my bad english

And why in the world would we think MKP would have any success in LoL, anyway? his strengths in SC2 were all mechanical, which is nearly irrelevant in LoL, and all of his weaknesses involved decision making and game sense, which are basically everything in a moba. it doesn't seem like much of a fit.

well he seems to be doing okay so far, 3 months proper practice and it sounds like he's masters equivalent. with a good team who can call the shots he can do well.


and think of the difference between "masters" and "top tier pro gamer" in starcraft. I mean, I don't think I have to point out how huge of a gap that is.

My heart just exploded.

So many of my sc2 souvenirs with MKP just rushed through my brain. The tickets we payed for him with reddit, the amazing tournaments. MKP the only true sc2 kong. Always playing amazingly, innovating, and crumbling under the pressure in the finals. Such a cute kid playing so well. Foxer. 2 raxes. Lifting to get gold on metalopolis and then winning...

It really hurts to see this. I am deeply hurt.
The game I cherish most, enjoy most, and in which I respect the proplayers the most for their skills ( asside from BW )
is getting so many bad news at this moment. I hope to see really good news soon. I really hope that somehow the game can become what is was in 2011 again, I enjoyed that so much.

But at this very moment, I want to sit in a corner and cry, blame Blizzard, Kespa, and everyone for fucking it all up.

I cannot take more of this.

I suggest we spend one day crying MKP-style, and then one day dancing MKP-style. This is really sad sad news...
