He would have to win every game and pray that somehow he would have the top 2 record in his group, which is just as unlikely given that Ace and Select are 3-0 right now...

How come Ace is so good at Foreign tournaments (IEM, NASL) but fails so hard at GSL?


Maybe he just loses his confidence on the main stage.

It's actually possible that he can't at this point, if two people in his group go 7-2, which is possible, he can't make a comeback, especially given how well SeleCT and Ace are playing.

Actually, I can't wait to see SeleCT play Ace.

Those are MC's first pvp losses in international play outside of games versus white ra.

Is Ace a pupil in the school of special tactics?

ACE is on the road to dominate the foreign scene. First Europe, then Australia, Soon America.

MC whats happening man?

he didnt play badly, but seems to have lost a step. Maybe it is as he says and hasnt had time to practice much lately with all the travel etc.

I think he needs to focus on upgrades a bit more in longer games perhaps...

Ya I also wouldn't want 50,000... especially if I were a player very capable of winning it... as well as after saying I want to win 1 million dollars in my career (I forgot what amount he said he was going after). In fact I wouldn't even know why I signed up for the league at all... I guess I would just want to get in to prove I am capable of getting in, and then I would just make sure I don't get to the finals.

Oy, you. I don't think you know how things work around here... NEVER accuse players of dropping games. On a side note, what a amazing micro battle between both Mc and Ace, but the upgrades and mind games for Ace won him the battles.
I post only when my brain works.

He just failed to scout the 2nd base on time, thought Ace was on one base still, and was worried about a one base play. That means you don't get upgrades, while Ace was banking on the risk of his hidden base and blink play to keep MC contained, and got upgrades while MC was building up.

MC lost because he didn't scout the 2nd base.

I'm sure MC regrets dropping a set due to his scheduling conflicts earlier in the tournament; now he 0-3.

I think people are realizing weaknesses in his play, upgrades being one of them. While he was dominating, he wasn't perfect. People are just starting to catch up imo. He get going again though, he is a great player.

He probably won't get top 2, but he can still be top 20 below that and make his way through the bracket.

Was anyone on Huk's stream where he was razzing MC for not upgrading? did I dream this?
