Well written.

although I never understood how anybody did not haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate Marineking as a player. He basically was the embodiment of everything that was wrong with terran in 2010-2011. He basically only won games by baceracing, 2 raxing, and stimming up ramps without vision. He also cockblocked jinro from becoming the one foreigner that made it to the GSL finals. How epic would that MVP vs. Jinro final have been?

Also... them glasses :ugh:

I do however acknowledge that MKP was legit good in late 2011 early 2012. But I never go the obsession with this guy.


As someone who has watched since GSL open season 2, absolutely agree.


To be honest, I really despised MKP whenever he won those bacerace games. He had so many of them that he was much more experienced and was able to beat my favorite NaDa in a crazy bacerace. Now that I look back, we shouldn't hate the player; hate the game! Jinro could have abused 2 rax scv pull all ins, but he chose to be the honorable player. He loses the game but gets brownie points from his fanbase. I'd say it's a fair trade.

There are a handful of games where MKP did not 2rax or baserace, and we were able to see his micro skills in those games.


No honor in losing, you do what is needed to win, aside from cheating. As long as you win you are justified but it also requires you to change according to the changes around you. Sadly maybe he just wasn't able to do it.

Anywho, all the bestest wishes to MKP, though it will be hard, with him being practically a semi amateur (semi- cause he has general expirience in pro-gaming, amateur, cause it's a different game), and the Kor scene being one of the, if not THE most stacked of them all. Wonder if he will keep his handle?

I will forever miss MKP + MC casting at HomeStory Cups. These are some of my best sc2 memories.

Foxer was a real King. I hope he will succeed in the already very competitive high level LoL play.

It's fair to say I was never a huge fan of MKP but can't deny his impact on the scene and the fact that despite everything Idra said, he was a great player.

While I don't think that we will see #thingsmkpdoes on Twitter or that he ever was the best or most exciting Terran, he still had so many memorable matches that I can only tip my hat to him, gonna look forward to seeing how far he can make it in LoL.

Always loved rooting against him. He was a player I loved to hate -- and the scene needs those. Impressive run brotha. Wish you were joining us in Dota 2 instead.

That's not true, well first of, people say Marine King.Prime because it has a good ring to it and we know him for the abbrivation "MKP".

And no, it's very common to say "Liquid'Tajea" or "Liquid'TLO". Matter of fact, I've hear people referring to every single player while mentioning their team name.

EG Jaedong is just as common as Marine King.Prime. And honestly people don't say the "Prime" part exclusivly, I've actually hear Marine King more than I've heard Marine King.Prime.

I know when I refer to Ryung, I say Axiom Ryung very often.

It really comes down to situation/player and it's not stupid at all.

so... uninformed


How am I uniformed. Explain it to me. I watched every season of GSL, and I'm very sure I saw every one of his important games in GSL ever.

Yeah don't gimme that Kyrix game. It's not like nobody would have figured that out marine splitting.

It's not like I'm saying he was the worst player in the GSL or anything.

So you can do that marine splitting as well?
