MC vs PuMa NASL finals MC vs thorzain etc. And if anything Leenock is extremely predictable, at least in ZvP. He cheeses all the time, more than MC does. Come on guys this is gonna spiral out of control if you let it. One of you watches way more GSL than foriegn tournaments, the reverse can be said for the other. Leenock is indeed in some of the greatest SC2 matches ever (Leenock vs Clide, Leenock vs MVP, Leenock vs Jjakji, Leenock vs HuK (GSL... March? Code A? Something like that, early on at least.) there's another one too in GSL). However yeah, Leenock vs Naniwa at Providence was horrible to watch. Roach bust vs FFE over and over again. MC is FANTASTIC to watch in foreigner tournaments partly due to the level of competition difference. But remember watching him stomp on July in GSL January Code S finals? He won but it was NOT fun to watch. So you're both right and both wrong. | ||

Also, pleasantly suprised by Supernova, great performance, was seriously underrated before. Hope he can keep up the momentum. | ||

Lots of people wishing for him to lose seemingly, and through no real fault of his own. Ah well, he is certainly good, just unlucky to be placed in this group of death. Fully expect him to make it back into code S soon. Also, pleasantly suprised by Supernova, great performance, was seriously underrated before. Hope he can keep up the momentum. Nothing against ForGG/Fin being an ex-BW pro, just was against how overhyped he was. He's a good player but from the games I've seen he was given way more credit than he was due. Hopefully this shatters some of that but I have a feeling it might continue regardless. | ||

 fOrGG do and wondered why he lost game 1.1.) Lifted the Thor into a Medivac for quick placement. 2.) Bating Mutalisks into Thor fire with Medivac. 3.) Getting his 3rd up before Leenock. 4.) Constantly forcing Leenock to engage onto his position. 5.) 3|3 at 19 minutes. | ||

Thanks for pointing those out, didn't notice #2. He lost game 1 because many times he seined up badly (late or bad positioning). Leenock was able to take out marines with bling mines and infestors and take out tanks with ultras/lings, not allowing forGG's pushes or armies to become a huge deathball. A terran army gets exponentially stronger the more stuff it has, so that really hurt him. Also, that one time when he didn't see Leenock attacking into his top left base was a blunder. | ||

Honestly the more experiance that he gains against top-level players who do lots of cute-things like leenock the more his BW experiance will shine through with crisis management and using mind-games. We don't see much of that in sc2 now beyond the most obvious. | ||

Looks like there's no competition between him and MVP atm. MVP has lost to both MC and Leenock recently. It's not unreasonable MVP would have not made it out of this group too. It was that hard. | ||
