Nope white-ra is a foreigner therefore MC was supposed to just throw the games, thats how it works around here right?


Being a foreigner might play a part, but I am just really disappointed that a person who says he is "god protoss" or whatnot needs to cheese to win his games.

Doesn't even matter that WhiteRa 4gated too, if you act like you're the best player ever, I would like to see some standards. Like winning solid games or something.


Time to switch races again...



GUYS. White Ra was skipping the zealot. This is GREEDY, and gives him an early edge IF MC lets him get away with it. The way you punish this is proxy gating. It makes sense to do this.

White-Ra fucked up that last game. Scouting after gate and getting stalker 1st? You can't do that. MC read and outplayed him...though I suspect Huk told him what WhiteRa was doing.

lol @ everyone acting like MC commited murder. Cheese is legitimate, and it takes huge balls to cheese tied 2 - 2 with 15K on the line in the finals of a big tournament. It's not as if MC can only win cheesing.

He won fair and square, gg to all players, awesome tournament.

Really, people have a right to be upset if we are robbed of a great finish yeah? But MC won grats to him.


It's not the same situation at all. Cheese isn't cheating. Handball goal is. White'ra played greedy every game, MC did what he needed to win. Cheese makes you look stupid when you lose, but it's a legitimate strategy to win. If white'ra did it everyone would be praising him right now.


suarez didnt score that gall with his hand, he denied it bro

Well said Halvorg. No offence Naz, I just think that both sides of this argument are represented well by this. MC did what he chose to to win and it worked and thats great, but I understand how one could be disappointed by that
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Seriously. The fact that the best Korean / player in the world is learning english so he can communicate with foreign fans in interviews is actually such an awesome thing for Starcraft in general. Cheese or not, MC deserves some serious appreciation for pretty much being the raddest dude alive.

Doesn't matter who took home the prize money.
The winner of this Dreamhack is definitely White-Ra!!

Thanks for an awesome event @ anyone involved.

I'm really confused. I know as fans we want to see the best plays, most exciting matches and everything. But while these guys are professionals, it's not like professional athletes where they get paid a huge sum of money either way. This is MC livelihood, we can be mad that the guy is entertaining but not understanding that it's his job to win and make money? Wow.

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.


There is no midgame or lategame PvP, unless you're watching bad players.

Don't hate the player, hate the game.
