Made me sick when tastoisis were praising his decision to bring queens in fight, many zergs do that much better (with creep highways) against heavy air play ^This I saw Catz do that months ago and do a much better job.

that means it looks good for MC imo. Last time MC encountered MKP in the GSL, MKP knocked his butt down after going down 0-2 he came back and won the series 3-2. and this is after MC was hot off of his second GSL title. So no. I don't think it looks good for MC. That was so long ago its hardly relevant now I think... Precedent is always relevant. MKP at the top of his game can beat MC at the top of his.
No, precedent isn't always relevant. MKP and MC's skills have probably not increased at the exact same pace since the GSL WC (which was also quite long ago). Thus, your reasoning that "MKP at the top of his game can beat MC at the top of his" is extremely flawed. I'm not saying that I know who will win, but it's silly to say that MKP beating MC that long ago somehow sets a precedent for what will happen now should they meet in the Ro8. I could just as easily (and nonsensically) say that Nestea beating MKP way back in GSL Open Season 2 sets a precedent and that Nestea at the top of his game can beat MKP at the top of his, merely upon the basis of their really old series.

Anyways, I dunno if the HotS rly need that Tempest to counter mutas when Protoss got the Phoenixes that doesnt require micro. ^_^ If they didn't give P the tempest, they'd have to nerf mutalisk damage by 50% and give stalkers +10 to light air or something^^ Think they'll stick to the tempest.

There's no way you can be the best without competing in Korean scene. He got raped pretty hard in Blizzard cup last time.

It all goes back to NesTea's horrible decision at the end of Game 3 vs DRG. Wow. i think it goes back to Nestea's 6 pool follow up. and why would u 6 pool on a map thats pretty good for macro zerg? Just refering to Squirtle v Seal game 1, zerg can beat toss in late late game. Dunno. Protosses can easily 3-bases turtle on this map, I don't think you can really deny the third with Roaches/Lings because of the chokes. the point is u dont always need to pressure the toss, of course it will be good if u can delay the toss's 3rd but actually by the time a 3 bases toss push out , the zerg (if un-contested) should be on 4-5bases with broods, which is difficult for toss to deal with, he may need to go back for a mothership, then u can do what Seal did.

Doing well as a foreigner doesn't put you on the same level as a 3 time GSL Champion.
You still have no reason to believe he's better than Nestea.
