I know Jinro feels horrible about knocking out teammates, but he has a job to do. It's not even about 'its okay because MC 4-0'd him'.

This is his work. His whole life has led to this moment. Every decision made, every hour spent, every fiber of his being from the moment he was born has led Jinro to exactly now.

It's about doing your job.

And Jinro, my friends, is doing work.

I really dont understand how MC failed to forcefield the bunkers in game 1 against Jinro, without the repair that woulda been a GG push.

It's obviously your choice whether to make these picture images or not, but clearly the mood behind Jinro in MC's booth was a somber one, rather than a gloat. Don't really see the humor in team kills between friends, and especially when MC seemed to take it so hard. Just my two cents on all the LOL trollface image macros.

I was under the impression they were a bannable offense in LR threads. If not, then a bunch of banlings owe me an apology.

Did you not watch Tester play this GSL?

Agreed. I was well prepared/anxious to see the so-called amazing (or unbeatable?) play of Tester, but his games left me with a bad taste. Lame losses (such as v. Choya's 4-gate) and lame wins (cannons all the way). I hope he gets crushed by IMmvp.

cruel? Really now, they're in good fun and MC will get over it. It's not like people are blowing them up and picketing around MC's house with them on signs.

A shame we missed out on a possible Jinro vs Nada. Both Macro Terrans would have been really nice to watch.

As much as I would have enjoyed a match between Jinro and Nada, I would hate to see the possibility of Jinro knocking out another oGs team member. It does suck that Jinro and Idra face off meaning only one foreigner advancing, but still excited for the match-up none the less.

It wont be awkward in the oGs house. They are professionals. It's nothing personal, ever. In fact, MC is sad right now that he got eliminated, but he will be so happy to know he has a practice T partner who is better than him (at TvP).

MC even said in his interview he was "medium" feeling about defeating Jinro in S3. Clearly MC doesn't mind as much now that the tables have turned.

He just lost 2 games vs Jinro. Saying that Jinro is >MC in TvP is INSANE!

The drop where he didnt expect the blueflame hellions and reacted badly made him loose both games imo. He wasnt as focussed anymore he couldnt believe that he actually lost after dominating Jinro soo hard before.

as iNconroL said in one of the sotg podcasts, something weird happened in Korea, so get ready to see it for your next 100 ladder matches.

If what you suggest happened, we would have, as a best case for MC and Jinro, MC beating MKP and Jinro beating Rainbow. This would leave a three way tie for first, with no way to use head to head as a tie breaker, as MKP > Jinro > MC > MKP, requiring at least three more matches to determine the top two.

MC didn't beat MKP. Instead MKP all kill oGs including MC the other day in a team tournament.

I'm glad jinro won, as I feel mc is arrogant and jinro is very humble, but objectively I can't say that jinro really outplayed him.

I look forward to it. I'll just make a bunch of immortals and walk over most T. Not everyone has the tank positioning of Jinro after all.

I think that MC just didn't know what to do with the mech coming at him. Jinro said that he hid this build, something that no high level terrans were doing vs protoss.

Given time I think MC would come up with a solid way to beat it. Unfortunately, he only had like 10 minutes between the two games. All he knew about the build was that immortals weren't working as well as he imagined, hence the carriers.

The "throwing games" business is just an insult with no joke. At least the pictures are supposed to be a joke, although they actually make little sense and are just that meme crap I hardly ever find funny.
