I expected someone to do the 2gate proxy, never seen it in pro play, its risky but its 50/50, just like 4gate.. didnt expect mc to do it though great games anyway

I feel like this image should be shown to everyone bashing MC.


Well look at it this way, I can still be disappointed that MC didn't want to do another knock down drag out awesome game in a clash of the two god Protoss' but also not blame him for executing what is a good strategy that took in mind the weakness of his opponent.

MC deserved to win that game, I just feel bad that White Ra didn't win the series after the amazing play in games one and 2. That's just the way the cookie crumbles, and even though game 5 was a let down the series as a whole (in fact the entire invitational) was amazing!

I wanted WhiteRa to win, but that series was fantastic. Both players played brilliantly and MC deserved the win. Huge risk by him to proxy gate, but such a smart move at the same time. Well done by both players and congrats to MC.

I didn't forget this. But I also listen when players like MC promise entertaining games. There is pride involved in the way you win as much as the win itself. My frustration comes from the lack of showmanship. I want to see their mid and late game PvP (does that even exist?!) and MC knows that while he won, he did not win how a God would win. He won like a mere mortal, reverting to cheesy 'strategic' play.

He gets the check, get gets the W. WhiteRa gets my respect though.


LOLOL? Great tourny btw

Yep, and thats why MC avoids the strategic part of the game and just cheeses his way to the win. Srsly, I just couldnt respect MC before and I disrespect him even more now. He didnt deserve this win today.


If White Ra was the one who cheesed, you'd be raving about how brilliant of a move it was, and it was his special tactics or whatever. The one sided favoritism in these threads is just so hilarious.


Exactly, I see MC's final game cheese are very well calculated move. And what if someone is better in early game than late game? Should that really mean you don't deserve any wins? I would've wished a better prize distrubution, but grats to MC!
100,000 lightyears of awesome.

I guess they used the same version of Shakuras that MLG uses, where the only possible spawn points are cross positions.

And people like to see Foreigners beat koreans.

I don't particularly like to see that, but I did want Whitera to win because I don't even know the last time MC hasn't won

Clever by MC. The fact that everyone is getting so angry over it shows what a good tactical choice it was. Who expects a player to proxy 2gate in the final match with 10k on the line.

Pretty heartbreaking for Whitera. But like he said, the fans he gains are more important than winning, and he's really establishing himself as the best foreign protoss and probably player, and one of the best players.


Not to mention it was a good read on Whitera's constant cutting of corners to be more economical.

I lol'd at "So? Who says we can't be hypocritical?" It's one thing to be disappointed that the player you cheered for didn't win. We've all been in that boat. But to insult MC's play while it is pointed out that if White Ra did it you would be all over his nuts is just ludicrous.

And no, I prefer to see Koreans win, because on these boards they're the underdogs with the amount of blind fanboyism going on.
