door's that way --> if white ra had proxy gate'd you'd be spamming speshul taktiks / calling Ra a genius | ||

He saw time and again that WhiteRa was fairly greedy with economy and never got a fast zealot. I doubt WhiteRa could have held that attack even if he had scouted it once he skipped that first zealot. Exactly. WhiteRa was using the 3stalker build quite often in this series, and in his PvPs in general. MC decided to capitalize on WR's tendency to go for that build, since it omits the early Zealot. | ||

This final actually showed more strategy and difference than almost any other and the players both played fantastically. White-Ra won't, or at least shouldn't, take a cheese like this badly. It showed that MC knew the games were going way to close to his liking and he wanted to try to throw it in his favor (like every pro should). Hope we see these two meet up many more times as they both start attending more tournaments. | ||

I do understand that the tournament has been totally amazing and that was a bit anti-climatic, but come on. 2-gating with 15k on the line in the last game when you were down 0-2 takes balls. And it was really smart because it was so unexpected. I can't be mad at probably the most intelligent proxy 2-gate I've ever seen. Haha one dollar for each delicious nerd tear...I was rooting for white-ra too, but MC clearly outclassed him with superior strategy & control. | ||

Thank you MC for showing us some of the most thought provoking, dynamic, interesting and ground breaking games I've seen in PvP. Your builds are both unique and unpredictable. I was thoroughly entertained with the 4 gating and proxy gate cheeses. /sarcasm off Loved the tournament and the production value. I was laughing in my chair as I was watching. I really wish the best players in the world can turn PvP into more then 4 gate vs 4 gate. Thanks to Dreamhack for providing some of the best content I've seen in a while. I hope MLG was watching  | ||

Not sure if he has or not, but I'd like to point out that in a STRATEGY game doing something you've never done before based on something you know your opponent does every time actually is genius and well thought out. People raging over cheese clearly weren't around for bw when boxer bunker rushed yellow three times in a row people cheered it was amazing and one of the most memorable finals in all of e-sports. Using cheese in calculated sets is GOOD, of course no one wants to see bitbybit style cheesing ever single game but in a bo5 throwing in one cheese when you know your opponent is unlikely to scout it early enough and won't blindly hard counter it is a smart thing to do... In short I'm honestly disgusted with the state of LR threads recently its all balance qq and biased rage.. | ||
