Yes I understand he worked hard and that this defeat was crushing for him, but competitors are determined by how they take losses, not how they take wins. Anyone can be agreeable while winning. | ||

Cruel is probably too much, but fun? Maybe if the pictures were pointing out some real thoughts, but they're definitely not. Jinro consoling MC, especially with the same thing vice versa, last GSL is just a sign of a really good friendship (at least it seems like this to me). So your "fun" feels kind of misplaced... | ||

It would be better if he had swore since instead of the troll face pictures we would have a another discussion whether of not saying fuck on tv is something we should care about. Thinking about it, I'd rather skip both. I'm out of here. | ||

And to people who say grow a pair...I'd be OK with jinro gloating over his win, but to have other people anonymously do it for him is in very poor taste. Say your say, but don't put pretend words into someone else's mouth. This isn't some higher art form we are talking about here like a political cartoon, it is someone not even taking the time to spell their taunts correctly. Discourse isn't what it used to be. | ||

It's just making jokes out of what happened in the game. It's nothing personal. | ||

It has been stated multiple times by tasteosis that MC has had a HUGE problem with nerves in the past. So much so that it was causing him to lose many games. However, I think this arrogance/over confidence is MC's way of dealing with that problem. I think it really helps MC when he puts himself into that 'cloud 9' mindset. And personally I love watching him be so cocky with his finger waves and everything. So many players in SC2 are just so booring... Celebrate and live it up every once in a while. This. SC2 needs some more personality injected into it. The cockiness and "attitude" was all a pretty cool show. From what I have seen, he hasn't been bming or saying offensive stuff (or getting caught playing RPS on ladder. ziiiiiiing), so it's pretty awesome to have a least one dude trying to shake it up and get people involved. It's a shame to see him out in such a fashion, but hopefully he'll train his ass off and wreck some dudes next GSL. Fingerwaves and all. | ||

When Terran goes Mech .. Carriers are important as they wipe out Tanks and are pretty good against Thors combined with Immortals as ground units. The Phoenixes were also there to harrass and pick up tanks in due time. While Void Rays would have been a good alternative, the Marines kind of own Void Rays whereas Carriers & Interceptors keep them occupied better than Void Rays. MC did go for the right comp .. but the failed 4 gate + Jinro's timing of attack was the reason it failed. And even after the first push he still counter attacked and remade a base at the gold but was just too behind to do anything substantial as Jinro came for the kill. What really killed the Carriers wasn't the mech, it was the scouting and the ton of vikings in response .. the Carriers didn't get to do any DPS, if they did the game could have gone differently. The game is still relatively new and new strategies will be evolving ...so it's still arguable about which comp to go in a PvT where T goes mech. But to write off Carriers as a bad counter to Mech is pretty much the same way ppl wrote of Marines against Banelings in a different form. Also the picture caps aren't helpful as you can see how bummed MC was and it's a hard situation to kill a team mate and all that's gonna do is probably effect the friendship Jinro and MC has. I hope it doesn't. Congrats Jinro and good luck against Idra. | ||

with that in mind can't say I'm surprised about the ban hammer and stuff even being retroactive. In fact I'd do the same. One does not simply come into my home and start bashing my mom. while I see some merits in the discussion it will have to continue elsewhere, for obvious reasons. and oh boy, I think it will. | ||

"Cheapshot" implied malicious intent, and I don't see that in any of those pics (as opposed to degrading the match by accusing MC of throwing games). People can have bad sense of humor, why don't you be a bigger man and just ignore it? | ||

MC was the only guy I could see possibly beating him, and now that he's gone IMMvp is the single best player there right now. The second best is probably Nestea then either Idra or Jinro, but they are not even close to the skill level of Mvp. I will be hugely surprised if Mvp loses before the finals, and still surprised if he loses in the finals. On a different note: return of the Suicide 'Toss, eh? Hahahaha.Gj Jinro. As long as he beats Tester I think he has this. TvP I feel is his weak point, but yeah his TvT and TvZ is unstoppable. | ||

No one is calling him a loser or terrible player. They arent trying to slander the guy. | ||
