I watched only the Semis and the Final, but it was a fantastic show. Really wanted White Ra to win it in the end, but I think MC just showed us that he's REALLY got bigger brains in the end (the difficulty of cheesing is not in the execution, is on when you actually choose to do that in a tournament). Unfortunately Idra showed us exactly the opposite, I soooo love his style but I'm really struggling to root for him when he's showing less and less self control... I still think he could have won both that first game and a second one played in a different way.
White Ra makes me wanna play Protoss...

Did you enjoy it when this happened?


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


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

The video show something that is illegal tactics. What did mc do that was illegal against the rule of the game?

Big props to Dreamhack, best tournament I've seen in Starcraft 2, and one of the top tournaments I've ever seen across all games. Also big props to 2GD,demuslim and apollo, awesome awesome job!

And I agree with Nazgul. Its a strategy game, it might not always look beautiful, but it was hands down a brilliant strategy by MC, simply beautiful!

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.


Can't we be sad that our favorite lost?

This was a very entertaining tournament. Some of the other tournaments should learn something from this. (i am looking at you MLG).

Well, that show's what we've all always known about MC. No respect for the game of Starcraft 2, just some noob who managed to get better at all-inning than everyone else. No respect for MC.

User was temp banned for this post.



Not sure if you're new here.... but the goal of Starcraft is kind of....to win.....

MC is pretty good at winning. You might even say he's bi-winning.

And the nerve to critique someone for all-ining in pvp. he entire match up is an all-in. If you're going to disrespect someone, disrespect the warpgate.

Might stop reading LR threads soon, the absurdity and complaints from some people just gets too overwhelming D:



Yeah really. You have to know when to throw in some strategies like that in a serie, whether it's cheesy or not. People done it in SC1 and of course it will come back in SC2. Sure, for the viewers it's not always fun to watch, but these guys are here to win.

I also resent this double standard around here. If White-Ra won everyone would cheer for him do that Special Tactik meme. White-Ra is a great player, but so is MC. Gratz to these two.

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.


Exactly, it's a BO 5. You pull all your builds that you think will win you 15k. As a pro, you aim to win. I can't believe people on TL can't get this concept. Its just like how Idra pool first. He thought it was his best chance to beat MC.

There's a difference between being sad and being a whiner, which most people are.

Define: Sports


•the occupation of athletes who compete for pay


The problem is people only watch -- and athletes only get paid -- for sports that are entertaining. If the metagame continues like it has the last few major tournaments, my eyeballs will probably be somewhere else. Compound that several times and you'll have less pay for athletes to compete for.

dreamhack absolutely blowing the competition away, by far the best production quality ever seen in an e-sports related broadcast as far as i'm concerned
