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. Yeah, didn't win how a God would win. Even Flash cheeses. | ||

MC loves to proxy gate lol. He did against MKP in the Ro8, and even in the finals against Rain. In PvP, he also proxy gated San. However, personally i thought the proxy gate was just a really good read on White-ra's play in the series. It could've been held if White-ra scouted after pylon, but he ended up scouting the wrong base anyway. | ||

I don't think anyone claimed (atleast you shouldn't) that MC did a strategic bad move. He read White-ra properly, he knows he's not scouting properly and is blind-expecting a 4-gate without even scouting with his 9 probe. MC definately outplayed him, no discussion there, but he's never gonna be the fans favourite, at least he's not my. The fans will never enjoy watching "cheese" games as much as they'll enjoy macro games. I don't get it.. have you forgotten people want to be entertained? It was pretty entertaining. Tell me you weren't on the edge of your seat when white ra's probe went out to scout. IMO games where the players sit around and build armies for 30 minutes without attacking are more boring. | ||

MLG on the other hand, once they have ironed out the problems and streamlined the way they stream their games (not 30 min break between each game) it will be awesome, since its an open tournament. | ||

MC 4gate - People on TL = Thats all he does... no respect MC 2 gateway proxy = what a douche MC series vs Idra = wow PvZ is so imba MC defends roach all in from Marrow = what protoss with the wall in... so stupid. MC wins the tourney People on TL = He lost a fan, I lost respect for him, How could he do this to whtie ra. Show some respect and acknowledge the game rather than coming to every game with already hate for someone. | ||

totally irrelevant. I want to thank the guys at dreamhack for putting together this amazing artwork of a tournament. Unfortunately they have poisoned my eyes with such beauty that it might make the NASL a slight disappointment  . | ||

Unless you're an uber fan, that kind of stuff (and frankly, PvP in general) is not entertaining. Incorrect. Sports should be played to win, hence there being a shitton of sports not on your main stream television because they are not all enjoyable to watch, but they are still enjoyable to play. There are only a dozen or so major sports on television whereas there are hundreds maybe thousands of sports in the world. If you are not entertained by strategy games where people play to win then so be it. Don't come up with an imaginary statement of fact to justify your own opinions. Maybe you just shouldn't watch Esports if you have zero appreciation for the best strategies winning just because it doesn't involve 200 units with shiny graphics. What I say today was a battle of minds and MC clearly came ahead by being the most unpredictable and well rounded player. As such I'm impressed and I don't need to see 5 games of colossus wars for that to be the case. | ||
