Love Ra but MC just exploited bad scouting and a greedy opening. Nothing wrong with that at all. And huge, huge balls to do it at 2-2 in a BO5.

I can't understand why there are ANY pros who don't scout like Naniwa. It's your jobs ffs people, be paranoid!

Pathetic how you guys hate MC for this. MC is the better player and he played like it. I still think game 1 and 2 were fan services because he knew he could beat White-Ra in straight up 4gate games.

Another thing to consider. White ra had THREE chances to win. THREE. He lost three in a row.

That Steelseries promo code at the end disappeared WAY to fast, I only got the first few letters. Did anyone manage to get the whole thing?

I have to watch the movie again but... did he have two swords? Can't remember.

Yeah he did, pause the movie a couple times and you can the 2nd sword.

and that's what happens when you do the same build over and over again against the best player in the world

That's why I love sc2 no one build is supreme. W-ra loves to expand and go economical. If you let him macro up he becomes beastly. So obviously he's going to be weak early. MC exploited that, real thinking on his feet.

MC makes for a good villain with his successful 4gating and cheese lately. Move over Idra, there's a new bad boy in town! :lol

I want to give a special mention to the outstanding production of today's show. Great stream[s], cool production with a lot of neat little things that give it a professional and polished feel (which is really missing from some other "high-profile" tournaments. I'm looking at you, MLG). Good casters, ok host (good MC, bad interviewer) and solid scheduling for a one-day event. Good stuff overall!

A lot of people have quoted this and ofc im not going to reply to everyone. The point is not that i think of the endings as the same, I am not saying that MC cheated.

I am saying the ending was lame, that is all. Please dont overthink things.

MC deserved it though, best player by far at the tournament.

you should blame the guy who missed the penalty, not suarez bro

I love how all the MC haters conveniently forget he's a 2x GSL champion who has shown amazing skill not just in cheesing, but in actual macro games. I mean I understand this is a heartbreaking way to see Whitera lose, even I wanted the Ra to win. But you can't just go and bash the winner like that.

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

Holy fuck did you just show me an example of cheating to compare the situations?

My IQ just dropped to 50 trying to understand your point. These situations are NOTHING alike. Trying to win and trying to win by cheating are two different worlds buddy.

PvP is a terrible match-up and i blame it entirely on Blizzard. In BW, we already had ZcZ, but SC2 created ZvZ 2.0 with this awful game.

On the other hand, once you said that, you must go over it. You should realize that the entire match-up is going to depend on Build Orders and micro. Games 3 and 4, specially the fourth, proved that MC has the better protoss micro on the entire world. White-Ra is very good, but MC is several times better than him when it comes to micro. And game 5 proved that MC could bet on a B.O with 15000 dollars on the table. In Poker, you call that a clutch player. In SC2, you should say that too instead of whining like jingoist clowns.

Good job MC.
