Seriously stop mentioning that he scouted the wrong base first. It would have been too late anyways even if he scouted it becoz he sent the probe after 13 gate ._.

omg so epic. MC is such a boss.

Great casting as well, apollo + dimaga are as good as any pair of casters out there. I really think I like apollo casting a ton, him + day9 was assume too.

Casting was bias as hell but whatever. Just listen to DEMUSLIM get all excited about proxy 2 until he realizes MC is doing it LOL. At first he thought it was whitera and genius move then is like oh its MC. Not to mention saying MC was destroyed first 2 when white won by skin of his teeth.

Congrats to MC and the tournament looked great. Would have been better if the casting wasn't so bias.

http://www.aftonbladet.se/nojesbladet/spela/article12872243.ab

Aftonbladet just released the vods of the grand finals, and in the comment session the publisher said that they had the most views of the whole paper when they where live, and seeing aftonbladet gets around 1-2 millions unique hits everyday, i would say that pretty good :D


Edit: this is what he said: "Väldigt, väldigt många. Vi var störst på hela sajten igår."

Translation, "Very, very many, we were the biggest on the whole site yesterday"

The question was something like: "How many hits did you have yesterday?"

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.


Hilarious that some people are believing MC's explanation.

When you proxygate like that, you don't lose when your opponent makes a zealot after core. You lose when your opponent scouts it. And this is MC leaving the game to luck. Luck was on his side because White-Ra did not know that the 3p spawn map became a 2p spawn map.

I will explain it further for some who are still confused...

If you proxy gate, and your opponent makes a zealot, it doesn't matter! He spent money on gas/cybercore while you are pumping zealots in his base out of 2 gateways. You still win.

Do you see Proxy-gates on 4p maps such as Lost temple, tal'darim, terminus RE? No! How can you proxy gate if you don't know where your opponent spawns? This is the reason White-Ra lost the game. He thought a proxy-gate was outside the realm of possibility! He even checked the empty spawn with his scouting probe, not knowing this map had been edited to become a 2p map!



Well then, WhiteRa thought wrong. Who's fault is that? lol

Just for the record, I seriously doubt WhiteRa would've changed up his build or his scouting pattern if he had known the map was a fixed spawn. I mean, he's done it four times in a row in previous games, so why change now? MC played the game as it's designed to do, which is to play the strategy that gives you the best chance of winning, period.


Yes! Exactly my point! The game was entirely White-Ra's fault. The result of the game rested upon White-Ra. If he had known it was 2p spawn, it would have been completely different. A lot of people take a short detour with their 12 gate scout to check for proxies in 2p maps.

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.

I hope someone tells MC that his foreign fans are on his side it's only the inbreds who are whining about it.

No foreigner is. But yeah, I'm sure that deep inside most people already knew that. White-Ra is such a likable fellow though. All things considered he's had it pretty rough. Constantly being in the top but never seem to reach all the way in the largest tournaments. As much as I am impressed by and respect the Korean players, at least this time I cheered for and put my hopes on White-Ra. What little common sense I had tried its best to tell me it was in vain. :D

Damn, because of those fanboys stupid whining, a good impression which White-Ra left in dreamhack with his love to community and good manners with the opponents is now gone
White-Ra played good enough in this tournament, 2-0 every opponent, and 3-2 in final match. Thats impressive result! Yea, it's unfortunate that he lost, but lose is lose, he should practice more PvP next time and show us even better games ^^

And gratz to MC, he is really a protoss god
Great tournament overall!

I think everything has been said by now. I just want to add that I hate the word 'cheese' in general (not on pizza). It's all in the game.

If everyone would do a standard macro game every time, do you know how freaking boring that would be?

Game is game. No objection for MC played to win it.
But TBH seeing Whaite-Ra's face is a tense.

Is he surely OK for living even without that 15K?
With his lovely wife??

He looks like a man living next door, white^^ though~~~

Heard he has another normal job, correct?
