Went back and looked at MC's match history - he had a REALLY hard road to the finals. He had to play against: OdinMvP (BW pro IIRC), Hyperdub (solid Terran), JulyZerg (LEGEND), FoxeR (king of bionic play), and Jinro (Terran macro master). If he wins the tournament with that draw (which he really should), I give him total and mad respect. Those are some incredibly good players that he beat. | ||

I think it was a weird game though and Jinro wasn't expecting it to go at all like that. Really I think MC got lucky that game, not because of his BO though, that's kind of a shallow response to how MC won. I think it was also quick thinking on MC's part to save enough money for a nexus after he saw the engineering bay go up in his base. He knew if he took out the Orb Command Jinro couldn't possibly win. A DT opening is really strong against Thor rushes IME (not that MC would have automatically lost wit. And if Jinro moved down the map to protect the CC, his guys would have been picked apart by the DTs. | ||

Those were some of the best 1 base timing pushes that I've ever seen in PvT. You heard it here first, he beats Rain 4-0 or 4-1 in the finals. actually we heard it from him first, in the interview | ||

Both have beaten some very good names in recent times, TSL is obviously better than most of the bitter types have been giving him credit for. Even if Jinro is better than Rain, which you could assume based on his solid play up to the MC set, though thats hardly bulletproof analysis, the player A beats Player B therefore A beats C type logic doesn't work, head to head matchups of any sport/game simply don't work that way. To quote an ancient boxing adage, styles make fights. This isn't to say MC won't give Rain a hammering, he certainly looks capable of it, but that sort of reasoning just doesn't hold up and is illogical. Rain might not look Foxer good, but he has beaten Nestea, Hongun, Squirtle, Genius, and Choya in recent times. MC looks like to be undoubtedly the best toss in the world though, so in the end it could be a moot point. | ||
