I'd like the reinforce this. Tastosis made a mistake when commentating that because they didn't realize MKP had a CC in the lower left corner. Had Nada traded his marines for a viking all MKP would need to do is land the CC and begin mining to win. It was actually impossible for nada to win that unless MKP literally ran into Nada's stuff.

Either way, their series was way cooler than Idra v Jinro. MKP's build is really scrappy.. even when he's about to lose he can just flip that proverbial coin and send all his marines and play a base race. And marine DPS is >> everything else pretty much. Like the Jinro game and the two Nada games.

Nada vs MK series is overrated imo, both by Tastosis and the general audience. It's not a "close game," just a generic base trade in a TvT. It's somewhat exciting, but by no means an extremely rare occurrence.

**Thunder** · 2011-01-21 16:42

Yeah, I don't think it's rare either. EVERY time MKP is about to lose because he scouts a doom army coming he can either A) lose. or B) base race. They were totally "close game"s though

IdrA v Jinro was an underwhelming series. Jinro hearing the commentators on the 6 pool was pretty messed up.

LMFAO @ Jesus-Jinro picture.

Whoops. Yeah, thought about it after I posted. Got me

**Sylvrdragon** · 2011-01-23 03:01

Hidden expos are the bane of Jinro's existence. >.<

**Foxer** · 2011-01-27 05:54

lol@Leenock. Artosis and Tasteless sure do know how to favorite their players.

**Sylvrdragon** · 2011-01-29 01:54

MVP has MarineKing's fucking number...

**Sylvrdragon** · 2011-01-29 02:29

1-sided roflstomp.

**Eanae** · 2011-01-29 02:31

Holy crap... Pure rape...

**Falaras** · 2011-01-29 02:32

Aww they hugged.

**GRT** · 2011-01-29 02:32

lol that's what I'm saying. S1/2 was anyone's game, rly but 3+ shoulda been MVP's for sure. While it stays code A/S, I think we're finally gonna be seeing only good people win from now on. At least people who should be winning will be winning now. There should be less of a chance for people like Rain and FruitDealer getting lucky on easy brackets now

**GRT** · 2011-01-29 03:40

just looked it up, he got beaten by Zenio in S2 and Choya in S3? wtf? lol

**Foxer** · 2011-01-29 03:50

Still a new game. I still think S1-3 was too much prize money lol

**GRT** · 2011-01-29 05:48

nah, needed that prize pool to attract talent to a new game

**Foxer** · 2011-01-29 05:51

I usually think in Asia, they play more for the fame and just for being good. I guess SSF4 in Japan to SC2 in Korea is a terrible analogy though. I honestly don't know how they pull it off, rly.

**geno** · 2011-01-29 08:36

Did you really compare Fruitdealer to Rain? lol. My guess is that's a mistake, but if not...

They are pretty much polar opposites, in playstyle and in skill. Rain got lucky in one season with 1-2 builds and brute forced his way to 2nd place, then dropped out of code S. FD won the first GSL ever, made strong showings in S2 and S3 as well as in special events, and is still one of the most entertaining zergs to watch play with an awesomely diverse and varied playstyle.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-29 08:39

Nope, but I really did just say Cool is more overrated now than he was before just because he won S1.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-29 08:43

Used Cool as an example because he won S1 and played like shit the next season, when better players started playing. Didn't do too hot the season after that and his up and down matches were just embarrassing. Used Rain because he won 30mil and got knocked off code S the following season. Random brackets in S1-3 are random.

**Foxer** · 2011-01-29 08:51

Saw your edit. As far as Cool goes, time will tell. To me he's like a Genius, Zenio, Loner and such, they start out as the strong/favorite for a while until they just start losing to the better, more established BW players. Can't really tell if people like that are going to get better but yeah, didn't Cool get eliminated Ro64 on S2 and S4?

edit: Ah shit.. made 3 posts, sorry
