I wanna see that happen in a tournament, not in some kind fo practice games.

am i the only one who was frustrated by the failure that was the the host's interview with mc? sweet tourney none the less, was sad to see idra throw away that first game



well there was an interview after each match, plus extra interviews on the aftonbladet swedish stream (in swedish) after the match, and some more on rakaka.se, and it doesn't look like mc is the most talkative person ever so all in all I think they did a good job there, on top of all the rest that was superb (one thing I'm happy about : for once they hired a great photographer, the hundreds of pix covering the event on dreamhack.se are great),

Crazy games! I didn't expect MC to take the finals after going down 0-2. Not the most amazing macro games but still pure entertainment, and that's what it's all about. Great job Dreamhack

Wow, im really impressed by the dreamhack tournament. The production was like nothing i've ever seen in something Sc2 related. I got a warm feeling during the whole tournament, this was the players tournament, there wasn't anyone there that stole the show. Im not here to bash on anyone but sometimes when you watch tournaments it feels like there are more focus on the people around the tournament then on the actual players, and i think that hurts the community. In this tournament the players got room to really shine and show who they are. Before the tournament i didn't like MC so much but now i have total respect for the brilliant player he is and the personality he got. I hope the other tournaments learn from this and im already looking forward for the DreamHack summer .

MC did entertain, did you not see the first 2 games? He could of 4 gated his way to another 3-0. To come back from 2-0 down take a lot of skill and balls. Do you think Whitera could play his eco style in the first 2 games if MC did 4 gate? So haters he does entertain, he gives a sense of opportunity like you can actually beat him in PvP when actually it's not possible.

Out of the 6 possible MUs one relies on an overbearing style to compete successfully. Not too bad for blizzard since the rest of the MUs are pretty darn varied.

Are you seriously implying that with $15,000 on the line MC deliberately placed himself a razor's edge away from losing simply for the entertainment of the crowd?

Ridiculous.

He more likely underestimated White-Ra after he defeated him so easily in TSL.

I think he is saying MC knew he could have beaten Whitera in the early to early-mid game anytime he wanted to. Both San and MC have proven this before. So he tried something different for the first 2 games, and when that didn't work, he just fell back to what he knew he could do to win. And it worked like he expected it to.

I was there and it looked like MC was going to start crying after the second loss. He won game 3 and 4 because he stopped produce probes exactly when he reached 20 and then maxed his army. I believe it was some sort of plan B when everything else didn't work... Game 5 was a HUGE risk. If white-ra had scouted the pylon or gateway, well then MC would have insta-lost.
