Sup community, ive snapped a few pictures from the event itself and also a few shots from the afterparty with all the players, crew and the audience. Sorry for the mediocre image-quality but my camera and i wasnt really feeling it.

Feel free to contact me if you spot yourself anywhere and want the original high-res photo without watermarks, no fee ofc.

Pictures can be found at

and if you missed my pictures from the Jinro Meetup at arlanda they can be found at the link below.

Enjoy.

White-Ra kept using the same starting build 5 consecutive times, and I just couldn't help countering it. What's wrong with this? I did the proxy 'cause I knew White-ra wouldn't produce the first zealot at all. Do you really think I just gambled in the $15000 game? I was so confident about the proxy at that moment.

I only did the best to win the game since I'm a pro. BTW the airplane has been delayed and I've been waiting here Turkey with Jinro and Huk. TT I can't wait to return to my home country.

A funny thing is, Jinro and I came here without a Visa while Huk made one, which had Huk waste $200. lol. Jinro also was cheated in Sweden. What a bad day for them.

And I really hate to see MC realizes the undeserved hate he's getting from foreigner fans. I'll again point out the irony that he told the fans at Dreamhack that he wishes Korean fans were as enthusiastic. I guess MC is smart enough to realize there's trolls and haters everywhere.

MC won that game because WhiteRa did a predictable build.

Would you be complaining if it was Nexus first every game that WhitRa did and he somehow lost doing it? WhiteRa had critical weaknesses in his very build which he showed to MC in 4 games prior. MC exploited the weaknesses of his build.

WhiteRa often makes late Gateways, scouts late, and often skips the first Zealot. Recipe for a proxy.
Although this was compounded by errors in his play that game by not scouting his base and scouting an area he could not be in.

MC doing that play was excellent and had a lot less risk than you may think. He did the build knowing his opponent.

You don't care what anyone says because you're wrong. Stop whining, MC won fair and square. Unless you think punishing the same build 5 consecutive times in a row is 'bullshit,' in which case I don't know what to tell you.

I recognize him doing it to win, what is it people don't get about this: Hardly anyone argues he did it in a controlled and tactical fashion. I still think it's an insult to a fellow progamer that you claim you can beat in a skilled fashion and then just circumvent it.

Had MC had some honor or pride he'd had a real game versus White-Ra not a coin flip. It might've been a controlled and anticipated coinflip but it was still a damned coinflip.

Don't blame him for doing whatever it takes to win, but in doing so he's treading the same path as TSL_Rain: It produces boring games and as a spectator what I want is good and exciting games. Having the last game of an awesome tournaments awesome finals be a 3 minute coinflip is not what I as a spectator want and I honestly doupt anyone does.

I think it's an insult to not use the strategy which you think will give you the highest chance of winning- which is obviously what MC believed about his cheese build. Also, great macro games have to come out naturally and not because of some arbitrary principles the players have set for themselves.

Pure bullshit.


You don't care what anyone says because you're wrong. Stop whining, MC won fair and square. Unless you think punishing the same build 5 consecutive times in a row is 'bullshit,' in which case I don't know what to tell you.

I recognize him doing it to win, what is it people don't get about this: Hardly anyone argues he did it in a controlled and tactical fashion. I still think it's an insult to a fellow progamer that you claim you can beat in a skilled fashion and then just circumvent it.

Had MC had some honor or pride he'd had a real game versus White-Ra not a coin flip. It might've been a controlled and anticipated coinflip but it was still a damned coinflip.

Don't blame him for doing whatever it takes to win, but in doing so he's treading the same path as TSL_Rain: It produces boring games and as a spectator what I want is good and exciting games. Having the last game of an awesome tournaments awesome finals be a 3 minute coinflip is not what I as a spectator want and I honestly doupt anyone does.

What? That is exactly not what a coinflip is. Anyone with a pro's level of game sense would have seen White-Ra doing the same build four times in a row. MC had reasonable belief that White-Ra would not deviate in the 5th game and he didn't. Had it been a blind 2 gate proxy on the first game against someone he had never played, then I would agree that it was risky move, but he had 4 games to notice White-Ra's general style of play in addition to their recent TSL games. MC did not blindly pull a cheesy build. White-Ra is an amazing player and one of my favorites but it's his fault and nobody else's that he played predictably and lost the ace match because of it.

In what way, was it not a coinflip, when it all came down to MC hoping White-Ra would not scout it?
It wasn't "Risky" It was a godamned coinflip... stop defending MC as if he needs it, he's 15 000$ richer and happier for doing it. Still a dull game and a sad ending to what was else a superb tournament.

MC just tweeted:
I wish somebody to translate what I'm tweeting now for the foreign fans who are BM'ing me.
White-Ra kept using the same starting build 5 consecutive times, and I just couldn't help countering it. What's wrong with this? I did the proxy 'cause I knew White-ra wouldn't produce the first zealot at all. Do you really think I just gambled in the $15000 game? I was so confident about the proxy at that moment.

I only did the best to win the game since I'm a pro. BTW the airplane has been delayed and I've been waiting here Turkey with Jinro and Huk. TT I can't wait to return to my home country.

A funny thing is, Jinro and I came here without a Visa while Huk made one, which had Huk waste $200. lol. Jinro also was cheated in Sweden. What a bad day for them.


Thank you so much for translation!

"Do you really think I just gambled in the $15000 game?" lol. MC, what a frank man. Not only a good protoss player, but also a good pro-player.

WhiteRa's one weakness is his predictability. I have also done proxy gateways against him couple times since I know he will scout at 13 and doesn't scout usual proxy locations. Both times I just rolled him easily. I hope he starts mixing up his play ^_^
