MarineKing vs Stephano

game 3, so much action ! MKP and Stephano delivered a very good TvZ match.



Good game. Another showing of terran bs.



Nah, Marineking did well to come back in game 3, stephano made the mistake of going hive and getting those upgrades instead of more units. Terran is the race you can't ever take lightly like that with mules and cost effectives units.



Amazing series!


I really wanted MKP to win because stephano's ZvZ is weak.



Blehhh, Stephano gave the 3rd game away :( Shouldn't have gone tech route and instead concentrate on keeping high-unit count. Maybe he thought he was way more ahead than he actually was so he can spare some resources for tech..

Either way epic game. :) Both players are beasts..



First I have to say:

Great games in this series! They are two amazing players!

Second:

The MLG Videos are crap! They get stuck at certain times and I have to restart each video atleast twice a game, wich means I have to watch the stupid ads on an on again. I spend at least an hour a day watching casts on this website but last couple of days it feels like I will not go her again. I surf from a Mac if that has anything to do with it?



zergs need to deal with the medivacs. I feel they are often over looked and they give so much survivability and cost effectiveness to terran bio. The options I see are mutas, corruptors, or sprinking in a few hydras. I'm leaning more toward corruptors because you need them for broods, but I think that hydras are a relatively unexplored option that could be viable.



Yeah, when there is supposed to be a commercial, the video just gets stuck, and I have to reload the page and skip the thing. Hope they fix it



At #6.
Get firefox, and use adblock plus.



Holy shit that series was good.

I play zerg but even I could appreciate the awesomeness of MKP. Godly splitting. He only had 3 marines in that midgame engagement and he STILL split them.



@#7: you are so right... medivacs are not only the intended dropships, but basically a "make my units last twice and get back the last 25% of them"... why is zerg so careless? even if you don't have enough fungals to kill medivacs, terran probably would be more careful in their use if those get targeted once in a while.



Damn... MKP loses almost half of eco and still wins? This should ring a bell to blizzard. They should give mules to every race lol cant wait for the oracle in HOTS so no one can mine =)



I feel as though medivacs are strong. But so are queens, so I guess it balances out. I am a zerg player, and I think the new patch highlights how good getting 4+ queens is. You can spread your creep so much more rapidly. I wanted MKP to win only because I like to see him and DRG go at it.



Terran is only imbalanced when MKP is playing! Sick games, action packed, all of them. I'd like to echo hatred of this player and also of DjWheat who has zero insight and is even dull as a purely colour caster.



the problem is not going away with firefox btw.



@12 what are you talking about. The mules werent the only reason mkp won that battle. His micro is superb.. Nothing even a high master terran can pull it off on every battle. Stephano made mistakes of going to hive. Mule is the only additional eco unit terran can have, while zerg can build up to 8 drones from a single hatch, protoss can consistently chrono nexus. Learn sc before you whine



wow what an amazing series!



^^ well said.

great games.



MKP should never have won that third game. Medivacs make bio (an already cost-effective composition of units) ridiculously cost-effective. The problem with it is you can't get units to deal with medivacs without severely hurting the rest of your army (corrupters or mutas--hydras are laughable as they are restricted solely to being on creep). I don't have suggestions to fix it, but something should be done. (Researchable speed upgrade to hydra could possibly fix it.)



Always whiny bitch zergs. As if Stephano play a mistake free game. You idiots, its MKP. He's a fantastic terran player.



@#16



@20 Neither player played a mistake free game. Stephano caught MKP off guard and nearly crushed him--killed 2/3 of his SCVs. However, the fact that MKP was able to come back over the course of several minutes after losing the majority of his economy (minus MULEs but I won't get into those) is a bit over the top. And it wasn't his micro that won him the game--his medivacs won him the game. He would have lost the game without good micro but that goes for every race and every game.



@22

Stephano should have went in for the kill after that with another wave units. Instead he went to hive and heavy upgrades and didn't have enough units to defend. That was his mistake and it was a costly one. He allowed MKP to come back because he thought he had it in the bag. Underestimation is a bitch.



that was one of the most amazing series i have ever watched!



Damn, insane. Any other terran player a little less skilled at splitting would have lost that last game.. thanks for showing us again why you're MKP. And game 2, holy shit that was the most perfect ZvT sweep I've ever seen. Also, Apollo = spot on analysis and great caster. Awesome stuff.



HOLY SMOKES! What an amazing series!

PLEASE GET RID OF THIS PLAYER! ARGHH!
And the ads in the middle of the game!? not even at planned breaks or at the start but throughout!? Talk about frustrating!



Unlimited Creep Spread? Check (Queen Buff).
No 2 Barracks timing? Check. (5 Second Barracks Nerf).
Stim Timing Nerf? Check.
All potential Early game threats reduced to a smoldering pile of shit? Check.
Ghost Nerfed to complete shit so you have no opposition in the late game? Check.
Still SOMEHOW delusional enough to think that this match up is anything but 100% in your favor? Check.




great games, terrible player had to restart last vid 5times...



ATTENTION ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MLG PLAYER

I followed an earlier user's advice and installed firefox + adblock plus. Now the ads are completely gone and every video loads on the first try. It also does not pause or stop in the middle of the video.

It would have been a shame to watch these games and keep getting interrupted so I recommend everyone go with the FF+adblock combo



The video player is crappy, but remember MLG makes money off the ads which helps funds these events, I don't know if they lose money by disabling ads, but just something to think about ...



Who cares if MLG loses the ads, no one likes ads, and the video player they use sucks too.. youtube is my favourite player and video site, even if it uses more resources and is more 'flashy' than before, it's still faster and better than the MLG one. I won't be any crying over them using YT player instead of MLG, will you?

They should of gone for something which people actually want rather than forcing them to watch ads(which might lower the actual viewers, something ELSE for you to think about).

I would think that most SC2 enthusiasts are net savvy enough to have adblockers to begin with, so yeah. Not a good business model to rely on ads..



heres ad block plus for chrome users, blocks all ads on all videos:

not coming back to sc2 until they fix an ultimate marine unit.

so balls
