I was not particular a fan of MKP, but i watched a lot of his games and really liked it. Dedication as a fan to make a thread like this should only be rewarded with positive feedback. It's just a contribution to the community in general. Even if you don't agree with it, this thread is mainly an appreciation as a fan. | ||

He just did everything better than most Terrans back then, which is sadly, a lot of allins. I think some people forgot why we said MKP defined TvZ back then. MKP was a beast back then, he had 3,4 accounts on top of the Korean ladder, using only MMM. He pushed MMM usage to the limit vs Zerg. Yes, people know how to pre-split bio before, but there're big chances that they learned from MKP on the ladder, and MKP showed on officially televisioned matches how to marine-split reactively but efficiently. Saying MKP did nothing to define the TvZ matchup we have today is as absurd as it can be. If there were no MKP, we would have stuck with Rainbow vs FruitDealer TvZ style for awhile. | ||

MKP ended up in 10th place on the overall earnings list, with $189,140 USD made in his career. He was 4th place among Terrans, behind Mvp Polt and MMA but ahead of players like Taeja, Bomber, and everyone else. Source: http://www.sc2earnings.com/player/170/lee-jung-hoon Also, another stat just for fun: a quick search in www.gomtv.net's video archive reveals that MKP had 114 video appearances under the name "MarineKing", excluding the appearances that he made prior to that as "BoxeR". Needless to say, both the success that MKP had as a professional SC2 player and the amount of GSL and GSTL appearances, as well as foreign exposure, made him one of the most successful and consistent players of SC2 from 2010-2013. | ||
