Guy loses 3-2 in extremely hard fought back-and-forth series, is "clearly the better player". Love it!

Other than the strategic blunders, yes. How do you think it was a close series despite those blunders?


How can someone be "clearly the better player" if they make several strategic blunders?

OTHER THAN THEM. God, how many times do I need to rewrite that? His micro/macro etc were better. His builds, upgrade timing etc were not at all.


Sorry, I did miss that part. In that case it's kind of a poor way to put it, why not say that Thorzain had much better builds and upgrades while MC had better micro/macro? That seems less likely to draw fire from the internet and doesn't take away from Thorzain's ability as a player.

Sorry ^_^

Thorzain came up with great builds, I'm not taking anything from him. However I haven't found his mechanics notable (not bad, just not notable) so I don't know how he'll hold up once people adapt. In particular how will he do against people who upgrade early and don't respond badly to funky builds?


wait what? He had +2/+2 even under harassement and kept his macro going, isn't that good mechanic?

Uhm it's not really indicative of anything? It's not hard to get upgrades :/

Anyway I didn't say his mechanics were bad at all, I said not notable. Many players have similar solid mechanics. Not many have MC's mechanics.


MC sure had awesome mechanics, having 0 upgrades for half the games and apart from the tal'darim game he had subpar macro, and I'd like to see anyone under hard pressure still pump out scvs and upgrades which requires you to not queue a shitton of units but still have enough to defend, while microing his army to defend against said pressure


Exactly. Out of all of the top Koreans I can think of right now, MC's mechanics are probably the WORST. Seriously...his micro is impressive, but his multi-tasking and macro aren't close to the best. I can literally think of 10 Koreans who have better mechanics off the top of my head.


Watch the replay and watch the minerals count. He was going for so many tech so he cant afford to get upgrades. While thorzain was getting just 1 types of unit composition. Either bio or mech, so he could afford upgrade. If MC has gas floating around, then he is not utilising it, which mean bad multitasing and macro. BUT, he use them all, so it is definitely bad decision making on how to spend it, rather then bad macro/multitasking. he respond to drop almost instantly.

PoltPrime 2raxed MC twice and now people are picking Thorzain to win all of a sudden? Come on. MC is still the best player in the world and Thorzain just played a TvP series against Tyler that MC can study. This isn't going to be close.

orly?

It's alot harder to find a link in another language. You ever tried to look for a non-english song you heard on the radio\? Good luck with that.


Ya because English is first language for everyone on TL. And MC doesn't speak English. And he hasn't got any friends among foreigners. (sarcasm)

Oh man I'm so happy that Thorzain won. I really don't like MC's personality because of how cocky and overconfident he is, and I really love Thorzain because he is really playing solid these days. I hope he wins the whole thing.

Stop making excuses for MC.
Really, just stop. He got outplayed, and you should get over it.

There is no counter there is a thread in strat about it. VR's get wreaked by repairing thors who do splash. Zealots /stalkers can't do any damage to +3 armored up thor. Immortals get wrecked with cannon. HT used to be counter but mana bar was removed.

Counter is not letting terran get mass thor with a WG push.

Epic series between Thorzain and MC. I gotta hand it to Thorzain, he played amazing, just as he does in all of his TSL games.

and all of those show his momentary tvp style... oh just 2 tvp from the 09.01.2011...
so yeah it was clearly easy to get some replays (sarcasrm)
