Contrary to popular belief Stephano is not from the States, any mindless spam asserting otherwise after this time (19:48 KST/ 5:48 AM EST/ 10:48 GMT) will meet a moderator response. We have enough confusing spam posting in LR threads these days. Lets try to keep the love for everyone's favourite French zerg reasonable.

And as always:
- No player bashing.
- No caster bashing.
- No balance whining.

Enjoy the games.

MC got the last shittiest map possible. Crossfire needs to leave ASAP man, so frustrating to see how Protoss can take the third and 4th expo.

Was hoping for Stephano to get out of the group but loosing to the players he did is no shame and anyone who says otherwise is just plain stupid(its the best 10 of the year tournament, somebody had to lose even though everyone had a chance to get through)

and what does that have to do at all with MC choosing from the second the map started to do a terrible all-in that anyone could tell wouldnt work against someone as good as MVP?



I remember not long ago Mc 6 gate all-in Mvp and mvp could not stop it even with 5 bunkers.
In fact, Mc did show he can outplay Mvp in a macro game. Mvp is the one does not want to play macro game against Mc.

yet MC does a terrible 4 gate all-in....

Sigh... you're so blind I don't even know if you watch starcraft.

All-ins aren't random, you don't just do it against someone because he's better/worse/whatever. You plan an all-in when you think the map and opponent are suitable for that all-in. In this case, considering maps, MC's best shot was the early game timing. MVP scouted well and could hold it, doesn't mean it was a bad decision.

All-in =/= bad play.

MC is a great player, most likely still best protoss around. If you think he's bad you haven't watched enough of his games. You might not like his style, but that's a completely different story.

right MC was too scared to try and paly a macro game and did a bad all-in and lost becuase hes an inconsitant player wholl never be great


you can use that to describe what Mvp did to Hero.

ya but see MVP WON

MC didnt win

erego, MVP made the right choice and MC made the wrong choice
and since the only damage MC managed to do was kill a bunker and a few marines it was completely the wrong choice

Yeah, MC should have time travelled and ofc known exactly what MVP was going to do, and thus revert from all-inning...

MC chose to go with what, against that opponent, in that horrible map, was his best shot, because he's confident in his micro and FFs. He lost, it happens, it doesn't mean he's "terrible and can't win macro games". In reality, MC's macro games are usually awesome, he has some of the best macro of all P right now.

I insist, I'm not sure if you watch starcraft, or just blindly rant. I'm inclining for the latter.

he didnt even put up a fight, it was a poorly thought out all-in he would ahve been better trying to rush to DTs he barely even killed any SCVs

his all-in didnt even come close to almost suceeding he looked jsut like a code A or below player


The biggest problem with MC atm is inconsistency. But let's be honest, there's no protoss showing consistent result atm. Naniwa? Not a long time ago he got raped by lucky in code A first round once again. Hero? He looked amazing in foreign tournament but he's still not able to show any spectacular result in GSL. Huk just dropped out of code S and so did puzzle. However, MC did manage to take out bomber, who is widely considered one of the best macro terran, in macro games to get back to code S. I know he some times does all in, but who the hell doesn't? Every player plays to win and there's nothing wrong with it. MC still got sharp skills, when he stabilizes I'm sure he'll be able to win code S again.



the question is if it is Mc not being consistent or playing the race of protoss is just harder to be consistant?

Agree !
At the time ppl were saying he is the best. I disagree.
But he is a very good zerg for sure and he played well.

Wait... I know you must be a troll or just deprived of logic, but I'll bit.

MC just beaten Bomber in a macro game. Out of every korean progamer, MC has been all-inned the most, especially by Terrans.

When you're hating on someone at least have something to back it up. For instance, MVP starts out his interviews with excuses such as "bad condition, jet lagged, lack of sleep etc". MC draws the worst maps and still advances and you don't see his interview full of map qq.


and what does that have to do at all with MC choosing from the second the map started to do a terrible all-in that anyone could tell wouldnt work against someone as good as MVP?

Dude, he got scouted. If that wasn't scouted Im pretty sure it would have worked. He would have been able to blink into the main snipe a few scvs then use blink micro vs like 16 marines. But as it happened, MVP was ready and the blink wouldve been on cooldown.

Im not saying it was a godly thought out build, but it was a pretty decent allin that had a good chance of working until the whole thing got scouted.

All-ins are part of the game. People need to stop whining about a strategy that wins most of the time cause it's not epic enough for the viewers.

Here's my opinion

Hero: if he has the best pvz, he was too nervous to show it or needs to patch up some stuff.

Stephano: i "guess" he has really good pvz, but ive been seeing holes in it. In the ipl team league he's been getting oened by expo into colossus builds. And mc acted like bischu and did that again. His win vs hero is much less him than hero(sorry to discredit). Hero just let stephano get too far ahead

MVP: More all ins than you would expect, and more aggressiveness. As usual, scary as f***.

DRG: I thoroughly emjoyed his play, he seemed solidish. More solid then stephano, the zvz was interesting to watch too, i love the zerg bane vs expo ling wars that last minutes upon minutes.

MC: I...dunno. I feel like he needs a solidly aggressive way to play protoss and until then he's kinda mediocre. Mvp had the ee han scout and pwnt him too.

isnt anyone else baffled by the build MVP used against Stephano?

marine/ BFH composition?
how did he know that stephano would rush to Infestors instead of getting banelings and/or roaches?

how the heck did he know?!

You're an idiot. How did you even figure out how to create an account if you're this dumb?
MC took out the initial scout. And he took out the hidden scout. Then he moved out. Probably wasn't expecting a 3rd scout hence the whole moving out issue. And when your opponent has had an expansion for several minutes if you don't commit, you're dead anyway.
Just stop talking.

Quoting for brilliance. Interesting question: If the players in this tournament were Pokemon (original 150), what would they be?

I'm putting forward MVP as Mewtwo.



For HerO vs MVP, his biggest mistake was just not scouting the barracks. It should be standard, especially when playing vs a player like MVP, to always scout for hidden buildings.


Haha thank you SeaSwift Not to be a big agreeing agree-er here but I would say Mewtwo for MVP also. I'm voting MC as Allakhazam, and the only other I can think of right now is Nestea as Mew, cause he just can't get away from MVP harassing him constantly in tourneys

Glad you mentioned that part about not scouting the hidden barracks. When making my post I knew there was a big scouting error Hero made but didn't want to push the point too much for I couldn't remember what it was. It was definitely a rookie mistake against somebody like MVP.

Well that was that. I watched the vods. I hope i'm not being disrespectful, but i'm a man who makes spoiled milk into cheese. Does this mean Hero will start streaming again!?
