MC probably lost that because he didnt want to use one of his better builds, but after seeing that match, I still think Jinro is probably one of the scariest Terrans out there.

Good luck to Jinro and MC!

Everybody cheer for Rainbow.

Rainbow winning increases the chance of Jinro advancing many many fold.

Mech was really a good choice in such close positions... Jinro's style plus maybe 1 tech labbed rax making ghosts to take out the immortal shields could become a cool new style.

At this rate, Jinro and Idra are going to spoil all my liquibets.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

I say, incoming dramatic TvP win loss ratio shift.

1) Don't practice
2) Build units that opponents army counters
3) ????
4) Defeat champion

I love you Jinro, so much.

i really don't like this system. jinro should play rainbow after this and mc should play mkp regardless of outcome. :/

Yeah, why didn't MC put FFs around that bunker? That was really weird.

just maybe he is microing his Phoenixes arround at the time you know they can have godly APM but they still cant do 2 thing at same time instantly.

Yes, MC threw away the game knowing that there's a 50% chance he has to play Jinro again anyway.

Come on now, it was a great game. He was trying out a phoenix build and honestly they came out so fast that I see it as very viable.

Why would MC throw a game away when there could be a chance he might face MKP? And that no match is a guaranteed win?

Seriously, some of TL's denizens and the things they say makes me wonder sometimes.

Yeah. MC had no qualms about romping over Jinro 4-0 last season, but now that there are even less games per round, he's going to start throwing matches because "they're friends"?

Okay guys. That's insulting to both players.

Meh, it's pretty obvious MC threw that game in my opinion

That would be dumb on MC's part; it's not like Idra vs nada yesterday where both already made it...MC could still not advance this group, and even though he'd probably beat the other two there's no way any player in that situation would bet his tournament life on it.

I thought the difference was the economy harassment by Jinro. The hellions and tanks drops really set MC back by quite a bit, costing probes and mining time.
