EPTcome to think of it, the game came down to who had a better game vs the other.

Great job Jinro! Keep working hard (especially with MC) and you'll really surprise some people in Code S! | ||

I'm sad that Jinro got 4-0ed but making it into the semis was already a huge feat. | ||

Very proud of you, the best showing of a foreigner by far in the GSL. Erm, this only applies to one game - the third, where MC went void rays. Game 1: Jinro dies to single gateway pressure (not proxy'd, not all-in) Game 2: MC expands early, long before the initial push (count: 2 base). Game 4: Jinro goes for a proxy thor rush (not exactly a macro build). | ||

But overall, I think people need to stop complaining about this strong early play as being "cheesy" when all it's doing is pushing the boundaries of the game in a good way. The goal of playing a match - whether on the ladder or in a tournament - is to win. If you can exploit an advantage early on that can help you win without screwing yourself over later, why wouldn't you? If you keep losing to strong early pushes, what aspect of your build is holding you back? What can you do to disrupt the opponent's timing? These are all questions we as players should be asking ourselves and our friends, not whining about the cheese and short games, but instead figuring out ways to deal with them. | ||

I don't understand why people can't see that his builds weren't cheesy - they were designed to exploit a timing and an advantage that he had to a significant degree, and Jinro just couldn't hold it off. It's people like MC who push the boundaries of these timing pushes that will help the game advance and mature - as they discover the strengths and weaknesses of various timing pushes, various openings will become ironed out in all matchup, and top players overall will become better at dealing with these kinds of openings. If one opening or another is found to be unstoppable, blizzard can patch it properly.

These are all questions we as players should be asking ourselves and our friends, not whining about the cheese and short games, but instead figuring out ways to deal with them. I agree, none of the builds or pushes were really committal. The closest to that was the DT game, which is a solid Jungle build because of the natural and the cross-gap warp-in and the void ray game where he had 4 gates + stargate without an expo. In either case if the push was deflected, but did damage, he could have easily transitioned out of it. The games were nuts, MC just makes the match up look unwinnable. If Jinro was to lose to anyone I'm glad it was MC. | ||

Well hey, Jinro did clinch S-Rank this season at least! So we'll get to see him next year where he can amaze us all again :D | ||
