Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out. -- updated 7:55 KST
I think MMA was blown away when the whole crowd started chanting his name, we should be seeing more Koreans over in the foreign scene in contrast to how BW was.

1) Huk must be feeling pretty damn good right now as the guy who 2-0ed MMA back to Code A 2) I seriously think MMA has one of the best TvZs in the world right now...even just based on today's games and his match vs DRG, it's hard to imagine anyone outside of MVP, Bomber, MKP or maybe SC pulling that kind of stuff off 3) Absolutely sick tournament, one of the best and most exciting I've watched to date
Is TvZ is really good, no question. But he won because Losira went EVERY game for Mutalisks past the 15 minute mark. MMA abused this and dealt too much dmg with drops in most of the games.
but MMA doesn't stop after mutas come out. he still does it, knowing full well that he'll lose half his dropships, but the other half will still do sick damage. also knowing that he cleared the overlords before. that's what makes his play so sick, imo
Yes, ofc he goes on with dropping, because the Z cant get back the control of the game, or it is at least really difficult.

lol agreed
I think everyone can agree IdrA didn't bring his best. He had some weird read or feeling he could surprise MC with roach but he never did.

Idra could've just as well taken the tournament as any of the other Koreans. Then again he did train in Korea for couple years. It's too bad he has such a defeatist attitude as soon as he runs into a little bit of trouble.

yeah but i'm saying even if you go fast muta, you can't completely shut that play down, at least unless you are on par with multitask with MMA, which clearly even top players are not

MarineKing would be great at MLG. The guy has a great personality and shows amazing emotion during games.
3 Terrans out of 4 invites? I'm not saying they are going to base invites around races but they wouldn't invite so many Terrans.

Yea, the Koreans commented on how passionate the fans were. You never hear chants like that during GSL, great crowd!

well idra has been very outspoken about how he loves to cheese protoss now and i think one of mc's strength's is his crisis management

Yep. Guy lost to Huk. He was fortunate that Losira has second best ZvP in the world, but has worse ZvT than Idra.
He kinda played against Kiwikaki though... and it was kind of like his TvZs where he was behind but clawed back due to drops and stuff... only this time with Marauders as well.. IIRC.
