translator. you are making MC look bad. thats not what he said Ahh sorry if I made him look bad. Really, I didn't mean to do that... After all, I love MC! I was trying to follow everything he was saying, and I guess I mis-interpreted certain things he was talking about. I definitely need more improvements. Thanks for the comments!
Keep it up, you did great!

I love that it ended with Sen vs. MC, a great series with a lot of back and forth. A bit sad that Sen didn't win, but MC just played so well. MC's crowd interactions were simply awesome  Say hi plz! Would love to meet you
We did meet. I'm the Asian guy who came over and said "I just wanted to say that you're doing a great job." I didn't realize until later that I probably should have identified myself.

Forcefields counter banelings only early on... later baneling drops counter sentries unless the Protoss has breathing room to FF retreat and the Zerg doesn't smartly back off to allow wasted sentry energy. Protoss needs perfect psi storms, instant reaction time against bane drops on probes, and a little luck with dark templars or something. Sums up the end of the last couple of games pretty well I'd say. So it's no wonder so many Protoss are going for 2 base all-ins vs Zerg most of the time. MC probably should have tried it at least one game. But Sen's big battle micro was lacking... his engagements were often not carefully done and it along with other mistakes cost him. NesTea would have had better engagements and wouldn't lose to dark templars, especially once he saw the tech out.
I wish MC would do more his old style 4/5/6 gate timing attacks to mix things up. He's getting too predictable and tries to force macro games sometimes resulting in loses and definitely predicting penix /VR harass putting him behind. I think he took early criticism to heart unfortunately making his arsenal weaker.

4/5/6 gate timing attacks aren't as good as they used to be.
zergs got so much better at defending them, they're finally a great risk for protoss.

It really is a testament to MC's overall macro and mechanics that he can win these games without doing any damage with his air.

Day 2 ended already... If you are asking when Day 3 starts, the opening ceremony starts at 19:00 GMT (+00:00).

I really wish the person creating the thread would actually update it... It wasn't updated for the last few games yesterday either.

Oh they are, it's just that MC is obliged to provide entertainment hence the macro games. Give him tougher opponents and we'll probably see a lot more timing pushes.

yeah..but every game it's just painful to watch. I feel like he could open differently and come out ahead, rather than behind, every single early game haha.
