MC had godlike defense game 1 and came back after screwing up game 2, in the sickest way. Sick finals IMO, I was shouting in swedish at the top of my lungs during some of the games =) | ||

Hopefully we see more play like that from him in the future. Brilliant = winning on a gimmick like a scouted, canceled rax into banshee play? And still almost losing? Really, MC lost that game because he got overeager with his colossus push. Definitely should have waited. MC is just miles ahead of Rain, that series was very lopsided. Game 2 was extremely entertaining, still. | ||

Actually I could, but I regret it. Uh what? Those immortals didn't avoid shooting marines on their own. And that zealot flank from behind sealed the deal. | ||

Zealot flank was not even necessary after all those marines died and yeah, right clicking on tanks is a perfect example of good micro. | ||

No worse than marine/scv cheese, yet I find it amusing that few are complaining about it. I mean, what, scv all-in is fail but proxy gateway = skill? Give me a break. Even Jaedong and Flash cheese in BoX games in the finals of tournaments occasionally. It's all part of a complete package, since they don't rely on them to get to the finals in the first place. | ||

And him making Rain move his other marine force away to deal with a counter at the main wasn't smart either. What did you expect? Right now, you sound like you've never played the game and think that there was more to be done in that attack. It was a great game, period. I would love to see you break out of an 8 bunker & tank contain like that. I highly doubt you would've done it. MC Completely outclassed rain. Really fun games to watch. I was actually thinking he was going to lose Game 1 & 2, but his come backs were damn amazing. I wasn't at all surprised that Rain went with some sort of an all-in or contain each game though. When I first saw 8 bunkers at MC's door, I just started laughing. Never would I have thought a pro would use 8 bunkers to try and win a game. I'm ecstatic that rain got cheesed. Maybe now he knows how the Zerg players he 2 rax'd all in all the time felt. Game 4 was only interesting cause I've never seen a 1-gate cheese like that. Game 5 was actually a cool little base trade. Rain almost held on, but those damn sentries just saved MC so much. | ||

genius and tester are probably just as good but they are too solid and macro oriented which are figured out by current terrans and effectively countered. Mc's aggressive play will be figured out too by terrans so he won't be as dominating in the future imo. Basically meta games go tester/genius style < terran current style < mc current style < future T style | ||

I really hope people will stop calling me stupid now for Meching against toss as despite the fact Rain lost i don't think he would have done it if it didnt work for him before and oGsMC is SICK good. | ||
