well he's nowhere near the pinnacle of korean talent, he was pretty much a nobody in BW


That isnt exactly relevant, Boxer is in many eyes(and rightfully so) the best progamer of all time, yet hes in Code A, wonder how you feel about that eh.

MVP and NesTea werent exactly the best BW players...MCs attitude applys well to the foreign tournaments, not to mention you can't underestimate experience.


Boxer was nowhere near "good" when he quit BW and moved over to SC2. 10 years ago BoxeR was on top of the world. MC however, has never been near that level - he's only achieved success when changing over to SC2, i could argue that this is because the best korean players still play BW. NaDa and July are the only golden mouse winners but they are long past their prime (sadly)

MC is obv not without talent but i wouldnt put him on the level of FlaSh and Jaedong etc


Are you seriously telling me Nada, July, Boxer are past their primes? I surely hope you're talking about broodwar, because they're doing just fine in SC2, of course none have achieved a championship yet, but have produced nice results.

For boxer, I would say you would kind of get worn down after awhile of the same game, starcraft 2 was good for him to provide a new game and motivation, you can argue that the best players play broodwar all you want, the thing I know is thats irrelevant to me, and only relevant to the people that dislike starcraft 2 and are broodwar elitists.

Never commented on MC's talent, nor do I really care, hes won 2 championships, if you're questioning his talent then you just don't see the game very well, sorry.

If people want to discuss BW vs SC2 skill/talent go do it somewhere else please, this thread is for people who want to discuss and enjoy this awesome tournament, not argue over some pointless debate.

Thorzain played too safe game #1. two starports for Vikings, double upgrades, late third. MC poumped units and faster Nexus. Too many units.

Thorzain will likely improve significantly when he goes to Korea. Better builds, more refined. Right now there are holes in his plays.

I like how Thorzain never wishes his oponent 'good luck'. He just says 'have fun', and I approve of that. Why wish him good luck if you want to beat him?


When I'm competing with someone I don't want them to have fun, I want them to get frustrated and angry, influencing their decision making and helping me win.

Thorzain didn't pull his famous micro defence. That was quite unexpected attack timing from MC.

Still, go go Thorzain!

I'm REALLY liking Jinro's cast of MC vs Thorzain - he gives some great insight on the playstyles and builds on certain maps from the oGs house. I hope foreign pros will rewatch this and learn something new. It's really interesting.

OH GOD NO! Please not this again!



are all bw-fanboys that stupid?


I'm not calling the BW guys Stupid, I respect their opinions, but having the same discussion at every single event, that gets kind of old and a bit annoying.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

Debating peoples lack of BW success is so meaningless. You have to remember most of the people may have practiced alot but they would have almost no motivation for the game. MVP was very talented but had no love for broodwar whatsoever. Dont assume everybody gives 110% like flash and are simply just bad players

Nada, July and Boxer are producing better results than in BW because they aren't facing the level of competition that is in BW. It is obvious to anyone who watches both games that they are way past their prime. All three were fielded in proleague very rarely and I don't think any of them had got out of preliminary rounds in the individual tournaments.

I'd hope Thorzain include MKP's 10 minutes ghost push in his play, it would really hurt MC a lot.
