If you were in MarineKing's position, without ever having won a GSL, you would just hand it over to someone just by the pure fact they were a foreigner? Good luck with that.

Lol. Like I suggested that he gave jinro the win in any way, shape or form.

MKP definitely one of the most inspiring and influential SC2 players. Too bad he never won a GSL, but the things he did for the community and PRIME. Man you gotta hand it to him.

Remember OP that 2010 and 2011 seasons are free, you don't have to buy a ticket to watch them.

Really sad to see him go

He really was a king of SC2
Maru has to carry the torch for prime now.

It was posted by a girl so it might relativize the "gay" thing a bit

A link to this CNN story about Marine King should be edited into the OP:

OP, I think your write up is not bad but I can't help but feel like it can use some improvements. Fix all the unneeded spaces and add a lot more information about MKP. I feel that since you're a fan of MKP and seeing as this is your 'goodnight' to him, you should talk about his achievements more. More details about MLG he's won, his first GSL finals with Nestea, winning against any odds, doing any funny strat and his games against Stephano that one MLG where he won game 3 on Cloud Kingdom after looking down and out etc... Maybe even a quick BR or two highlighting how his play to you was special and amazing to watch. Those are the kind of things that readers want to see and can attach to as well. Other than that, you had good details, just needs more since this is MKP we are talking about

this is exactly what I meant. Quote from it:
"When I played 'StarCraft' for the first time, it was like a fantasy. I felt like I discovered a new joy in my life. I was so excited that I could become a controller -- or fight against monsters."

Thank you for the tribute. I was a big fan of MKP until the drama between Startale and Prime last year. I've definitely missed his play this year. I wish him luck in LoL.

Nice one OP. MarineKing was the first korean player I really rooted for. His MLG wins are both to this day one of my top 3 memories from e-sports. Best of luck to him in the future!
