MC isn't in the top 4 players of the world, let alone the top protoss player. getting wrecked in your best matchup by one of the two overall strong protoss players in the world.


well you know thats bullshit

www.sc2earnings.com

MC is still the number 1 successful Toss, and Genius might very likely go down next round.


congrats, he won an Open season, that automatically will put him near the top of the earnings. he's still no where near the top nowadays when it matters.

I put MC as the 5th best protoss

Genius
Creator
Parting
Treme
MC

MC is super overrated though.

Treme is only there by taking a hype train, and his brilliant GSTL play right now.


An idiot at his finest. Your list should be like this:

MC
Oz
PartinG
Puzzle
HerO


While his is definitely odd yours is still peculiar. Here's what I think

1st: Genius
2nd: PartinG
Joint 3rd: Oz/Puzzle (both are quite inconsistent though)
5th: MC

No doubt that MC is good but I looked at his play and just seen him beat people with some all ins, it never really looked solid(Genius was able to exploit this weakness)

dont worry, he will punish all the Non believers, and grab that crucial first major title, to start the turnpoint in his career straight into a dominating 2012. killing not only GSL, but ASUS RoG and NASL as well.

I don't get this last one. MC didn't all-in at all in the whole series, except when he was 4gate first. His loss had nothing to do with his "all-inish" style of play. Genius just outplayed him, from what the LR thread, Fionn and Wax said.

People have been saying his style of play will get figured out since Open Season 3 and GSL regular season 1. Now we are here, nearly a year later, and he still gets into the Ro8 in dominating fashion. (And then loses in dominating fashion...)

Couldn't agree more.

That guy is basically saying "given the past five minutes of starcraft I've seen, and knowing absolutely nothing else about the scene, here's what I think the top protoss are."
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

I kind of phrased that poorly, I meant what Tastosis said during the game on Dual Sight, what Genius showed MC looked like 3 gate pressure so MC warped in 2 stalkers instead of 2 sentries. It's things like that which are not completely safe that MC often does which(at least in that game)

Also in the game on Cloud Kingdom he got really gutsy and blinked forward into colossus, clumping them all up right in front of genius so that he could micro back into his base.

Hmmm. I can see people thinking MC plays to risky in other matchups (especially PvT), but not in PvP. Of course, I didn't get to watch the games - and still can't because I'm too near my bandwidth max - but there really isn't a non-risky way to play PvP. I can't answer to the specific occasion you are talking about because, again, I didn't see the games T_T

As far as in general MC playing risky, I can say that something people overlook regularly is that he is nowadays really economically safe. When does he ever go for an "economic cheese" a la Parting, going 3 Nexus off few gates? More to the point, outside of PvP (lolPvP) when does MC ever die to an early rush? Think about the last time a 2rax or Roach timing worked against MC. It was months ago, AFAIK, and I watch almost all of MC's games (avid fanboy here). He dropped out of Code S in 2011 because he was vulnerable to cheese. Since then, he always goes for an ultra-safe 1gate expand in PvT, or an FFE in PvZ if he can get away with it, then if he does progress to a macro game he does it carefully.

In fact, as far as comparing Parting to MC is concerned, I consider Parting more "cheesy" (using the term loosely) than MC. In PvT, Parting takes massive risks to get a strong economy and get to the lategame, where Protoss is ridiculously powerful at the moment.

Do you still live in Scotland cause I didn't think ISP's here had bandwidth caps!

I suppose you're right but I guess that being a fan(or anti-fan in my case ;p) of a player will tip what you think about a player in a way.

Also not seeing the games doesn't exactly help XD

No doubt that MC is good but I looked at his play and just seen him beat people with some all ins, it never really looked solid(Genius was able to exploit this weakness)



I don't get this last one. MC didn't all-in at all in the whole series, except when he was 4gate first. His loss had nothing to do with his "all-inish" style of play. Genius just outplayed him, from what the LR thread, Fionn and Wax said.

People have been saying his style of play will get figured out since Open Season 3 and GSL regular season 1. Now we are here, nearly a year later, and he still gets into the Ro8 in dominating fashion. (And then loses in dominating fashion...)


I kind of phrased that poorly, I meant what Tastosis said during the game on Dual Sight, what Genius showed MC looked like 3 gate pressure so MC warped in 2 stalkers instead of 2 sentries. It's things like that which are not completely safe that MC often does which(at least in that game)

Also in the game on Cloud Kingdom he got really gutsy and blinked forward into colossus, clumping them all up right in front of genius so that he could micro back into his base.


Hmmm. I can see people thinking MC plays to risky in other matchups (especially PvT), but not in PvP. Of course, I didn't get to watch the games - and still can't because I'm too near my bandwidth max - but there really isn't a non-risky way to play PvP. I can't answer to the specific occasion you are talking about because, again, I didn't see the games T_T

As far as in general MC playing risky, I can say that something people overlook regularly is that he is nowadays really economically safe. When does he ever go for an "economic cheese" a la Parting, going 3 Nexus off few gates? More to the point, outside of PvP (lolPvP) when does MC ever die to an early rush? Think about the last time a 2rax or Roach timing worked against MC. It was months ago, AFAIK, and I watch almost all of MC's games (avid fanboy here). He dropped out of Code S in 2011 because he was vulnerable to cheese. Since then, he always goes for an ultra-safe 1gate expand in PvT, or an FFE in PvZ if he can get away with it, then if he does progress to a macro game he does it carefully.

In fact, as far as comparing Parting to MC is concerned, I consider Parting more "cheesy" (using the term loosely) than MC. In PvT, Parting takes massive risks to get a strong economy and get to the lategame, where Protoss is ridiculously powerful at the moment.


Do you still live in Scotland cause I didn't think ISP's here had bandwidth caps!

I suppose you're right but I guess that being a fan(or anti-fan in my case ;p) of a player will tip what you think about a player in a way.

Also not seeing the games doesn't exactly help XD

I live in Scotland and I have a bandwidth cap. Only 20gb a month too...ridiculous


Holy shit what ISP are you on?

I am looking through my bittorrent and in the last 3-4 days I have downloaded about 10gb of stuff O_O of course that is not including videos on the internet which I watch A LOT of

well you know thats bullshit

MC is still the number 1 successful Toss, and Genius might very likely go down next round.


congrats, he won an Open season, that automatically will put him near the top of the earnings. he's still no where near the top nowadays when it matters.

I put MC as the 5th best protoss

Genius
Creator
Parting
Treme
MC

MC is super overrated though.

Treme is only there by taking a hype train, and his brilliant GSTL play right now.


An idiot at his finest. Your list should be like this:

MC
Oz
PartinG
Puzzle
HerO


While his is definitely odd yours is still peculiar. Here's what I think

1st: Genius
2nd: PartinG
Joint 3rd: Oz/Puzzle (both are quite inconsistent though)
5th: MC

I'm with Be Unlimited. It's the best we can get out here :/

I don't think they care about enforcing the limit though. There will be some months where I download a shit ton of stuff and i won't hear anything, then there are some months where I won't do much and they email me saying my limit is nearly up. It seems really random to me.

LR threads full of retards as always. MC loses a bo3 to the hottest protoss in the world (HENCE WHY NOT A SINGLE FUCKING PERSON PICKED HIM IN GROUPS) and now hes not top 5 ?? and now hes fucking terrible? what a JOKE.

you dont understand how rankings are calculated?
every win gives you 10 points. winning major tournaments gives you 100 points, winning gsl gives you 1000 points.
if the games are played more then 1 year ago there is a multiplier of 0.001, one month ago its 0.01, one week ago its 0.1 and if the games are played today or you are currently in the live report thread there is a multiplier of 100.

so basically if you want mc to be top 5 again just wait a week and go into another thread
oh, and hope that he wins something till then.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran
