I really hope the next IEM "bumper" or whatever you call that brief commercial they always play gets some new clips, like of MC. I'm really glad to see MC beat Puma in a finals and carry on his usual swag. Besides Nani/HuK sometimes, MC's the only Protoss winning major events.

Hero won Dreamhack. But MC is still the most dominant Protoss right now. No other Protoss comes close in achievements.

So here's what I think: MMA might have focused too much on practicing TvP due to the numerous foreign protoss, as well as Korean Protosses in this tournament that he barely touched his TvT. It was sad watching him against Puma. Totally different from the MMA that destroys all terran players not named Polt.

What? Mvp failed to reach Ro8 for the first time in ages, after dominating the scene almost a year, even though suffering CTS, and you are already talking about generation change? oO


quick question, who's the best Terran player in the world :o

There isn't a best Terran at the moment. MMA beats Mvp consistently but also loses TvT to other Terrans frequently and has very average TvP compared to other Koreans like Polt and MKP. His TvZ is probably tops in the world but that's it. There isn't currently a Terran who is good across all three matchups and who is also having consistent success right now.

Wow, I was considering avoiding TL to not spoil it but I figured it would be hard to catch the sc rebroadcast since I'm at work but after reading the recap I wish I had. Sounded like an amazing finals

Er, the OP has a big mistake. In game 4 of MC vs Puma, MC had 3 bases when he "took a page out of his PvZ book and went 2 base all-in". In fact, MC had that 3rd for a very long time. The casters just didn't show the 3rd base ever I think.

I would argue that Mvp is still the most solid player all-around, even though he seems to be slumping slightly lately. Also his tournament results for 2011 are insane, he basically won every tournament he entered except when MMA was there (MLG Korean Invitational and MLG Anaheim not included).

MMA is still definitely a top 3 Terran, but I'll side with Mvp just because of his all-around consistency, boasting over 60% in every matchup, and nearly 70% overall winrate. MMA has a crazy winrate against Zerg, and overall pretty good winrate vs Terran, but his TvP is sub-par for Korea.

There isnt a best terran ATM because terran has been nerfed all to hell. If the force fields are true, toss will win, no matter what a terran does. Grats to MC, he certainly did well but I think it was at the hands of some gimmick builds from a slightly OP race. Granted MMA won 3-0 over feast, but lets be real, Feast isnt half the player that MMA is....

They did show it 2-3 times I believe. Even showed a probe transfer; but your main point stands. MC was way ahead in economy after he deflected puma's attack because he kept making probes from 3 nexus. That's why his push was so strong, not some mystical puma macro slipup.

I've always liked MC. I follow SC as a spectator, and part of the reason is because of the flamboyant character/personality. You may be good, but if you're not interesting, I don't really wanna watch.

That's why I'd tune in for MC/Boxer/July... (something about July that I can't help but always cheering for him!)...vs someone like MVP or whoever it is supposedly best in the world now.

"MC pulled a strategy out of his PvZ playbook and decided to try and kill PuMa with a two-base blink stalker all-in"

How do you two-base all-in with three bases? He even had the 3rd base up when PuMa initially counter-attacked. I thought for sure that MC was going to cancel it but he let it finish, which helped him in the long run.

Congrats to MC for an epic comeback though =)

MC bosstoss!

Do we know if/when vods and/or reps will be released? Or if they already have been and I fail at looking?
