You think so? I thought it was the fact that he's been largely irrelevant for a long time now, and has been playing other games.


Starts a comback. Second place in the Hot6 cup, actually looking decent, not amazing, but at least A-team material. Has a shitty game, community turns on him, and it all went downhill from there. I don't think so, I can read the writing in front of me.


Hot6 cup run was late 2014. He then went 3-13 in SPL next year before the Byul match.

He wasn't coming back, he was done regardless.

Watching mkp vs kyrix was one of my first sc2 esports moments. I remember kyrix building a ton of banes. The casters were saying how mkp's pure marine comp could never beat that many banes but then the Zerg took a fight at his ramp and he displayed some of the first and best split micro in a telivised match. Splitting his marines like an absolute God he took engagement after engagement until he was on kyrixes creep and then on top of his hatchery. That game made me start playing Terran and revolutionized the tvz meta. It also lead to the name Marine King. Marine king was one of the best players to ever touch the game and he will be rembered as such. Good luck mkp I hope you split like a god in whatever you decide to do.

He wasn't 3-13 before the byul match the 3-13 record was for the entire year.
Before the byul match he was like 3-4 or so and after that match his losing streak started. Also he qualified for both starleagues.

Thank you MKP for all your efforts. You are and forever will be my favourite sc2 player! You have inspired many great Terrans.

I will miss you (.

RIP

Remember how SangHo's career basically got destroyed in BW due to false matchfixing accusations? It appears we as a community never learn because we destroyed another innocent man's career too.

Ah i forgot he played a couple games after that, thought he gave up right away.

He was 3-10 after the loss to Byul.

I guess making SSL challenger and Code S is good, but he dropped out of both in RO32 then went on with his poor Proleague form. I really struggle to see how he was looking good by the time the Byul game happened.

It was fun to see him play at MLG Orlando in 2011, sitting on the edge of the small "feature" stage next to the tournament pit, being within literal arm's reach of him as he played in the brackets. MarineKing was full of passion for the game and for his fans. (He also had great hair.)
It has been awhile, and he had some issues (knowing now what we do about Gerrard, him leaving the team that he held together for so long makes a lot more sense) in recent years, but he still was a source of inspiration. He's managed to hold on and persevere in his chosen career for a long time despite many hardships. I wish him all the best as he moves forward.

Also, dammit NoRegret. It's not your fault, but you're going to get blamed you know.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

This sucks. As an avid MarineKing fan, this really sucks. I was so excited when I heard he left LoL to come back to SC2. But unfortunately, after a nice Hot6 Cup finals run, he became super irrelevant... And then that stupid f*ing vs ByuL match happened and things just went to complete shit afterwards...
It really sucks. Everyone knows just how emotional MarineKing can get and how the littlest things in life can tilt him. The whole ByuL fiasco must have really just shot his mentality and motivation down completely...
Farewell MarineKing. Thank you for all the great memories. You will forever be the King of Marines...

This is the game from MKP that I'll chose to remember.
One of the most exciting moments in sc2, at least for me.
