MK made some fundamental mistakes on Jungle Basin. If you're gonna FE against Protoss, ESPECIALLY after you let him scout you, you should be aware of the danger of 4 Gate and build a Bunker at your ramp. Not to mention he didn't have any vision of the back rocks.

MC's build was really impressive. He starts off w/4 gate to put on pressure but knows exactly when it's time to pull back and expo after the damage is done and gaining the lead from the attack. Then he techs straight to high templar, because there's absolutely no way MK would've survived the 4-gate if he had teched to cloak banshees. That way he gets to skip the colossus tech and go for the ridiculously good HT/amulets.

Tanks take 5 shots to kill a Zealot. There were no Collosus.
MMM was his only option after the 4 gate rush starved him of Resources plus the Switch to High Templars just killed him.
You need tanks vs HTs so he cant walk in with 1 HT at a time to Feedback and storm.
I'm happy that MC won. But I still believe Jinro would have had a bigger chance against Foxer in a semifinal than MC. Oh well, atleast we will have either MC or Jinro in the finals IF Jinro wins this next game.

mostly MK's fault though, pressing shift+f and clicking on ghosts is not that hard, the hard part about it is EMP having higher range. having that xel naga watchtower played a role in the game though, was very nice that he kept it. Overall nice play, glad to see HTs for once.
