He has specific habits that MC took advantage of. It was, frankly, an excellent tactical choice by a player who understands that the point of SC2 is to win. I wish WhiteRa had won, but he was out played. As far as I'm concerned, the biggest difference between Korean players and "Foreigners" is that Korean pros don't treat SC2 like its a game. The silliness with Idra and then MC confirms this. Until we see a non-Korean pro with a truly professional mindset, Korean progamers will continue to dominate the international SC2 scene. | ||

Ridiculous. Idk, whenever TLO does silly stuff that winds up costing him games, people are always saying he's playing to entertain.

Again..whenever TLO loses doing something funky, people are always saying it was because he was trying to entertain. Sometimes people just want to mix things up whether it's for mind games or to please fans. If MC had actually fourgated EVERY game, I personally would have been a bit surprised if White Ra managed to make it 3-1. | ||

Why not? I thought the vast majority of those who watched the stream were non-Korean/English speaking viewers. | ||

Forget GSL, skip MSL (what a disaster on stream), totally dont care about NASL because of commentators sticking to nexus for 1 minute chatting over weather not showing production tab and no vods ofc for 25 $.. DREAMHACK FTW! We want every tourney around the world to be organized by DREAMHACK!! and i must admit that i love your caster-.- | ||

MC did a bullshit move at the end, he was afraid of fighting White-Ra and resorted to cheese instead of doing a controllable game. Pure bullshit. Dreamhack did great, they even changed computers inbetween every fight just so the players didn't have to setup their own settings. That girl reporter is great because well I know her and she really cares about the community, she tried asking some user questions from Team Liquid aswell  | ||

White-Ra went 13 gate and skipped zealot in all the other 4 games. It was an excellent read by MC and safer than pretty much any other tactic considering white-ra's opening. | ||
