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.
Well you can't really expect the person that lost to be all smiley and "it's ok, gg". I mean ideally they act like that, and that is extremely gm, but he must be having million emotions running through him and for him personally it might not be the best time to talk to the person who beat him, or anyone for that matter.

Just turning the situation into a humorous one.
Really? Because I doubt anyone would be loling if it were the other way around with MC and Jinro. Respect both players for what they did. You can't even imagine what they must be feeling right now. Jinro played amazingly today. For what it's worth, I still think MC > everyone and I can only hope he doesn't let this mess him up. Grats to Jinro.
Rofl, no one is disrespecting, it's shit Jinro had to eliminate a friend, everyone understands that. The thing is that shouldn't mean people aren't allowed to make light of the situation, why are people so serious and angry faced about everything these days...
Life's so much better if you enjoy it and have some fun, rather than taking everything personally and completely seriously all the time.

A lack of sportsmanship would have been him slapping the hand off or snapping at him. The dude just kinda had his world wrecked, and it can be tough to overcome a strong emotional state, even when someone is trying to console you. Let the dude brood a bit. Not many people are gonna be smiling after losing in a tourney that they were heavily favored in.

lol sometimes I forget that this website / community is also the.. uh I dunno, "employer" of those guys in korea that have this deal with ogs... boy am I naive.
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.
People would get banned if they accused two IM players of rigging the games. It's poor taste.

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.
I'm pretty sure the ten commandments states that every match thread should naturally evolve into some kind of crazy discussion.
It's right in there between the lines.

I doubt people would make the edited pictures if the situation was reversed. It looks like people are taking cheap shots at oGsMC.

People can have bad sense of humor, why don't you be a bigger man and just ignore it?
If you don't say anything, how will people know it's wrong and in poor taste?

IMO, the only way you can make carriers work in SC2 vs mech is combined with psi storm kind of like how Socke played his epic game vs Drewbie @ MLG Raleigh. Carriers + Storm is ridiculously good against clumped up vikings.
It's too bad MC obviously didn't have that much experience playing vs mech, since Jinro said he's never actually used that build vs him before.

Well I would get this one Diamond + Emeralds .
You know all the Sc1 pros get this bandages for winning an osl or msl. I would wear this :D
+ Show Spoiler +
Well this ring is pretty nice toi have too
+ Show Spoiler +

Normally would be devestated that MC's out but...
That random swedish guy yeah the cool one on the forums and on the podcasts....
He beat the best protoss in the world...
Twice.
:D
Kalloo kallay it's a great day.

Can anybody spoil the results for me? I thought it would be on right now instead of .... you know, A LOT earlier.
Dang it. Really wanted to see this. Sounded awesome.

Hell yeah, Foxer beasting on through, haters can keep hating and not giving him the respect he deserves all they want, but you can't ignore he won the group.

Why is having bad taste in humor "wrong" exactly? It's wrong for you because you don't find it funny, but what place do you have to not let other people have their fun, tasteful or otherwise?

You really want to spoiled? You could get the vods in a couple hours on gomtv? Anyway here goes:
+ Show Spoiler + Marineking tops group and Jinro beats MC twice to go through as second place.

I missed yesterday Code S and TOdays Code S
Fuck my Life.

I am sad that i missed Jinros games but congratulations man! So fun to see a swede doing so well!
Good luck idra and Jinro!

No one should feel too badly for MC. The guy did just recently win a 100k. He maybe upset at this moment but when he goes home and rest his head on his bed made of stacks of 100$. Im sure he will be feeling fine in no time.

Wow, barely surviving 4-gate and transitioning into deathball mech army. I guess from now on metagame for PvT will be switching to mech for at least a little while. Will have to start learning this new way. Except mech is decimated by non-carrier builds :/ I hope the match-up does evolve, but I don't think this strategy will take on other than at the highest level where players have the skill to pull it off.
Did you see that Mech army, It was awesome. You would think Immo beat Thors, But that 250mm kills Immo before they can get a shot off. The marines were killing the zealots. That leaves the stalkers having free reign... for 10 secs, then they get rolled by the Thors.
As day[9] says "Thors are a really good." The world just saw how really good the 250mm is. I think that's why VR got that 20% buff. Immo are not the "counters" [hehe] to thors everyone thought they were.

Bit of a weird arrangement to have players that were previously in the same group meeting up again before the finals. Totally didn't want to have to choose between cheering on Jinro or Idra heh.
I can't believe how well Jinro played though. Mega grats

It's silly that everyone's taking jokes and memes so seriously. It's the internet. Big deal. This shit is stupid, but it happens all the time and means nothing.
