No excuses, Jinro just isn't playing well atm. He's not in the right place mentally, needs to find his groove again.

lol at people that knew all Koreans are going to win today, you have prescience or what ? I expected Morrow and Jinro to lose (I did not know it like you did). But knowing that Sen will lose is laughable underestimation of Sen.

Actually there is no surprise that MKP rolled Sen today. His vs Zerg record was always sick. The last time he lost a game vs Zerg (other than the showmatch on Monday) was in early December 10 against Leenock (he took the series anyway).

It seems so weird that HuK and Jinro vP seems to be their worst matchup when they have the best protoss in the world to practice with. Is it because of the communication barrier? Or Is MC just a crappy teacher?

btw do San and Anypro look extremely similar to anyone else?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Man... Foreigner play in the singles brackets has been so disappointing. Not because they're losing, per se, but simply because they played such awful games. Huk played like garbage, Sen played pretty poorly, Jinro made some terrible decisions, as did White-ra. Morrow was the only one who looked simply outclassed, the rest just played shitty and made poor decisions. Meanwhile Dimaga holding down like a boss and playing one of the best ZvZs I've ever seen lol. Just sucks to perpetuate the stereotype with such inconsistent play Ah well, c'est la vie.

Is there ONE macro game from him in the GSL? I can't remember one.


I remember Jinro beating him in 1 or 2 in GSL 4 Code S

It's not other people's duty to inform how they have played. Find out yourself or don't comment if you don't have any basis for it.

Go see Supernova's marine/tank + bunkers (with a splash of marauders) then adding on banshees or vikings style. Future of TvP imo.


Are you retarded? Supernova plays on US, which sucks kind of hard you know!

Collosus fucks tanks, immortals too and also every other uint exept sentry is good against it!

The only reason Shakuras was good in the first place was because it was the largest map we had to play on at the time.

Sad to see Jinro go, I felt for him when he was frustrated with himself at the end. Any time I see someone lose to forcefields I smile on the inside though, and I say that as a Zerg player.

This surely has to be just many of us going "OMG PROTOSS OP" when the statistics should show otherwise. I wish there was some stat page for GSL somewhere.

Nice troll. It's obvious since the opposite is true.

Hate on MC all you want for his cockiness or playstyle, but you can't deny he's actually a nice guy Nice to see him comforting Jinro.


yea, that was awesome of MC... i think his cockiness is only part of his showmanship and not personality


think the saying "never judge a book by its cover" kinda sums it up. MC uses his interviews for his own confidence, and to add a bit of flare to the GSL. i wouldn't look to much into his cockyness on air. from what you hear from HuK etc on their streams, he's obviously a top bloke IRL

Jinro still got this. seriously stop talking crap about him and its NOT a slump. no one can win 100% of the time zzz


LiquidTyler is calling it a slump in the latest State of the game, he is the teams captain.


According to someone else a few pages ago, Tyler also said on SotG that MC isn't extremely skilled; he just abuses builds.

Needless to say, I wouldn't take everything Tyler says as fact.


He did not say that. He said MC is an extremely skilled and talented player, but he doesn't like his style; moreover he called him the best player in the world. And Jinro himself posted that he's had poor focus lately, and hopes to get back in rhythm soon.


Exactly. It's so annoying tht ppl take wat is said on SotG and completely exaggerate it so it sounds like they're shitting on everyone. Tyler had to say it like 3 times so ppl would understand wat he said and still ppl twist it.

On the topic of Jinro tho, i think it's undeniable tht he's in a slump, particularly in TvP. But I'm sure he'll be able to get it together for the next GSL. I'd really love to see tht inspiring mech play he used in GSL4, while it's hard, i think it's worth trying instead of continuously losing with bio play.

Seems to me that both Huk and Jinro are playing very passive in their games, which simply allows their opponent to do whatever they like

This MU is a joke. Protoss can do al sorts of solid bos that are good against everything. Terran cant do anything, like getting upgrades, because they constantly have to worry about being safe against all protoss timing attacks. And even if terrans survive all the strong 2 push attacks they are not even in a good shape as protoss units throughout the whole game are much more cost efficient.


Ya you are right 0_o
Protoss needs to keep his Units together.
Cause MM is strong vs. lone Gateway and Strong vs solo Coloss.
Drop some in the back, make Toss go run after it, attack the front at the same time.
Can also do this with banshee.
Tanks are hard to break with a low coloss count Toss army.

Terran can do sick timings because the mules give you a huge eco boost for a certain time.
Protoss can not scout you once you walled in and has to get a Robo or cannon to stop banshee.
Mass repair can make a PF almost unkillable

with all these bigger maps i wished to see some mech from jinro


Big maps make mech worse.

This is true, but you also can't stay in your base as MM and expect to win like that. Mech is far better in that case, but Bio-Mech is even better.

With the recent uprising in Sentry abuse, I'm pressed to say MMM is no longer the ideal build.


There is only 1 viable build and that's MMM. Biomech is the worst composition ever.
1) you got the immobility of the tanks
2) you miss the firepower of tanks when you have a critical mass.
3) tanks actually shoot on your marines and marauders

Mech is only good on small maps.

Do you guys actually understand why the terrans with the most "success" all play MMM? Do you really think the top terrans are too lazy to experiment with something else then MMM? The reason why every topterran is using MMM is because it's actually the only viable thing. Biomech, mech and bansheebuilds are good, they work, but they are worse then MMM.

I actually agree with what SOTG (Tyler, Incontrol) etc...

MC doesn't show that much skill, all he does is abusive builds. When you watch Bisu from BW, you are in awe at the game sense and multitasking.

Watching MC you don't feel you are watching anything special, except a abusive Protoss.


HAH! really.

then why don't tyler and incontrol copy mc's build and just own other people. i'm pretty sure their tournament earnings are hardly decent, maybe they could use some money by just doing abusive builds eh??? I'm sure they wish they had even 1/4 of MC's tournaments earnings.....

MC is skilled. If it were so easy, every other protoss would be playing like MC. But I do agree watching Bisu play is more awe-striking.

Maybe you should chill a bit when you hear someone talking about what someone else maybe said to someone somewhere and take it out of context... >_<

I think Tyler was the one to first say that he wasn't impressed by MC's strategies, but he specified it wasn't to take anything away from MC and he agreed he's the best player in the world currently.
But that doesn't mean he's style is substainable. Obviously since he mostly does the same builds in PvZ eventually people are gonna figure out how to counter it. And if they don't it's fair to assume it's due to game imbalances and that should be resolved aswell. Either way MC isn't gonna keep dominating.


but that's how everything competitive works... there's nothing "sustainable" so to speak.
eventually, someone will figure out how to counter your style, and you have to evolve.
same thing for tennis, chess, etc etc. Don't see what Tyler's point was...


There are ways to counter, is just whether you know what build order MC is going. Play the aggressor if you dont want to be guessing your opponent build order. I don't think MC care if people are impress with his strategy, as long as he keeps winning. IMO, it is a sore loser behavior to criticize about how people play to justify why you keep losing.


Way to distort what Tyler and Incontrol said Highways. You should listen to it again, because Tyler said he didn't like the MC style of play, because it's risky that a lot of times he does look like he is control of the situation but lots of things can happen. but he said his control is very good and he is currently probably the best in the world. And incontrol doesnt like the style either and is unhappy with the quality of the matches because is usually MC crushing that guy and everyone waiting for the other guy to gg.

That's the kind of distortion that makes some players to get some undeserved hate. =(

Foreigners prove that in a BO1 they can coin flip with Koreans. In Match play they are just getting out classes aside from Dimaga who's looking insane lately.


It's rather disappointing that moonglade or tt1 had to get out of ro16 cause both of them looked like by far the worse two out of the 16.

WhiteRa's pvp is below 50% winrate and in the last tourney he faced TLo he lost 0-2 when the latter randomed P. Morrow faced MC, Huk and Jinro for all intents and purposes ARE korean.
Sen lost to MKP who has 2nd highest TvZ ELO amongst koreans while he himself isnt even amongst top 10 ZvT ELO players on the foreign scene.
