EPTThat wasn't the MC we know - the confident, bold player that dictates the game.
I hope he is back to his usual self soon.

He would never have been able to move out and securing a third would have been completely impossible. He held off the two base infestor push perfectly and killed a ton of infestors but it still didn't matter because there was no way he was securing a third or putting on pressure without getting into a base race he's destined to lose against muta/ling/infestor. Often when you see a protoss player "play really shitty" it's because protoss mistakes are more glaringly obvious because of the race design. How many times have you seen zerg lose 5 roaches to a bad rally point early game when it changes nothing? Compare that to a protoss losing 3 stalkers for no reason early game. Compare having your army caught out of position as terran to being caught out of position as protoss. How many times have you seen infestors randomly being suicided but when a protoss loses some templar casters act like it's the mistake of the century, etc. Same sort of mistakes, same unfortunate decision making, same misclicks, more punishment. It's not changing until HotS. Mc played solid today. It was not his fault, so plz ppl stop saying he did not practice hard or sth. Dual sight is not a map toss can win against a solid zerg. The only flaw I saw in those games was there were a couple of time ling-run by in game2 which I believed Mc should be able to stop but somehow he did not. But I doubt if he played perfect in that game, then if the result would be different. BTW, can someone plz explain to me what is HotS? I heard this a lot but did not know what it is. | ||

You don't get to make mistakes buddy, one bad blink and you're out. Seems like MC was trying to play really reactionary. He held the infestor/ling push perfectly. Low sentry count seems to be a good idea against this kind of play since you're bound to loose them anyway. If it was a different map, with third easier to secure for protoss he might have won that, but once the mutas poped there was no way he could have build up a good enough composition off of 2base without being completely all in. gg MC, good luck in the future. Sad, But I have to agree. anyways, I am a fan of Mc now and in the future. Mc fighting!! | ||

I mourn for MC, it's an absolute slaughter out there at the moment for Protoss. He will be at MLG, and could potentially just win his way directly back in there. But good lord, this has just been a Protoss slaughter, I don't view this as a commentary on MC's skill level. I'm optimistic going forward that this can be corrected. | ||

Right now there's a significant number of GSL players who just don't lose versus Protoss - Nestea, MVP, Losira, Bomber, Coca. Blizzard need to step in soon because this is starting to really cut into my interest in watching Sc2 because you know when there's a Protoss playing that he's very likely to lose and if he doesn't it will be because the non Toss did something really dumb like + Show Spoiler + Monster's Infested Terran attack in game 1. | ||

MLG will be MCs time to prove himself. He has the chance to bounce back to code S, which woud be an amazing feat. I am sure he still has the talent in him = ) | ||

Don't quote me on this, I could be wrong.. "Protoss players are fucking stupid, they make a death ball even if they scout for what the opponent is going... If they just turtle to 3 - 4 bases and mass up, there's nothing that Zerg can do.." I'm not hating on MC or anything but he didn't build not 10, not 5, but Zero High Templars to counter the Infestors... Game 1 - was Irrelevant because he won regardless Game 2 - is definately out of the question since there were ling run-by into his base a couple of times which ended up costing him the game. Game 3 - * He went Forge FE into a Mass Zealot + Sentries with Hallucination Composition early game. * Then he started adding Collosus regardless of what he scouted... Which was a relatively early Lair and an Infestation Pit. * A couple of minutes later, Monster attacked his front with mass Lings and Infestors but MC did not react after successfuly defending the attack. (When I say react, I meant he didn't throw down a Templar Archive) * Mutas Then came into his based and started harassing, Which he countered relatively easy with Blink Stalkers Anyways, The point that I'm trying to make is that he did not make 1 High Temps on game 3. Monster saw that and took advantage of the situation. Still I don't want to judge MC based on 1 game, since that last engagement was pretty garbage. His Stalkers was caught off position in the upper left side of the map, All of them got fungaled and obliterated by mass Lings + Mutas. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maybe MC is on a tilt? Other things distracting him? Well w/e It is, I Look forward to seeing him dominate at MLG Orlando. MC!! Hwaittting!!! | ||
