Wow this is so huge for me. MKP was always my favorite player. I've watched more of his games than anyone else's. Such epic micro that I just fall to pieces watching him.

Makes me so sad. I despise LoL as a game. I MUCH prefer HoN. But more than that, I prefer SC2 <3

Don't know why he was banned.. he's stating facts.

I guess for trying to be a martyr. It's the favourite mod's reason to ban people. Would be the favourite of mine as well if I was a mod. His message was constructive indeed up to the point where he started crying in advance about bans.

That said, he was spot on on so called community. There's no community and lets not pretend there is one.

I always felt like MKP would be a godlike protoss player. i'm glad he's doing what he wants instead of feeling trapped in sc2. gg. MKP i am always your fan, even in LoL i will watch the games.

Wow, G fucking G Opterown.

Feel kinda bad for him in this one :D

Although it was certainly worth for a former MKP anti fanboy like me to login here again (focusing too much on Poker nowadays...meh)

Hey look, opterown....aLive is still.....alive in sc2 and breathing. ^ ^

Agree on one thing with you.
This thing about community.
I don´t like when people start to talk about "our community" and "the scene".
I do prefer to think about being part of a group of people, with some common interest.

He says in the response that he isn't. He might just be playing for fun.

Sad news, MKP pushed the envelope in Sc2 and came so close to a championship, but couldn't close the deal. Disappointing to see him give up on his dream. He will be missed.

If you ever watched BW, you may know Tazza who infamously beat Bisu in SPL once when he was on a huge tear. He plays for Najin Black Sword under the name 'Watch'. That's about it though, no one famous from SC2

I've played broodwar for 5 years being C+ on iccup, and played starcraft 2 for 3 years while then being a masters player. I am now pursuing a Doctorate program, so I've quit the past year to focus on that, but still follow SC2 religiously. I usually never post, but I'll post on this one.

Lack of social aspect in the community. The experience of SC2 is very cold, even for the beginner. You play a ladder match, and you get bad mannered or mocked for being of lesser skill. You leave ladder game, thats it. There is minimal interaction between casual gamers. The channel sytem and BNET 2.0 is comical to say the least. So the casual gamer gets frustrated with a game that is harder to pick up as opposed to others, as a community during ladder games we are for the most part disrespectful toward them (calling them noobs ect.), and they are left with a channel/bnet system that does not promote social activity. And we are really asking why SC2 is losing some popularity?

Casual gamers are what gives a game its popularity, they are responsible for high views, and ultimately responsible for more tournaments with higher prizes. Casual gamers want to buy the same mouse or keyboard that Jaedong has or MKP has, casual gamers are the ones who make up the bulk of twitch.tv views, casual gamers make up the bulk of audiences at tournaments around the world. What do we do as a community? We bad mouth them for their lesser amount of skill, we charge them 100 dollars an hour for lessons, we give them a BNET system with a laughable social integration, we charge them HD subscriptions to watch GOM.TV in a decent quality, and we ban them on TeamLiquid for making a post that might be slightly misinformed or having an opinion that is unpopular. Then we sit here and ask why this game is losing popularity? We treat people like trash for the MOST part. Stop claiming we are a community and starting ACTING like we are a community.

If I am temp banned for expressing my feelings in a mature and constructive way, it only speaks to what I'm trying to communicate here.

/Rant Over

User was temp banned for this post.

I don't know why people who write decent rants attempt to ruin it by calling out to mods that temp banning said rant is ok/useless/doesnt matter/im expressing my view and some facts here.


Because the truth hurts. If you don't think mkp leaving sc2 is a big deal then I feel sorry for you cause it is.

ya, it's quite a big deal although he's been struggling for a long while now being knocked out of code A and all.

This often repeated argument seems odd to me. The timeline seems to be that he started switching to LoL before being knocked out of Code A.

That was probably just the impetus to announce the switch publicly.

Thus, I officially quit SC2 myself. Many of my favorite players have left the scene and it is just too difficult to play Terran at a high level in comparison to Zerg and Protoss. I'm not talking balance, I'm talking mechanical skill and effort required to come out on top in macro and micro.
It really seems like the "best" players have their run for about a year to 2 years max, then they become a no-name in the scene again.
GG, SC2.
It's been fun.

That's nice? cmon, focus on MKP's retirement and not your SCII retirement lol


Old School sc2 players doing bad just make everyone feel bad... I haven't played sc2, since Mvp lost in WCS Eu season 2
