I'm super impressed at Stephano. He took down Parting and Squirtle who are on FIRE recently and took MC to a game 5.
I dare say his ZvP is better than most Koreans Zergs' ZvP. =x

He also beats Ganzi and Violet in group stages. How is he so good?!

Congrats to MC though! So nice to see him win again! :D

trends in starcraft 2: If a protoss won it, it was probably MC

i thought bomber had game 4 when he sniped the nexus
too bad if protoss manage to get their aoe army supply up
little chance for terran to fight head to head
well play by mc
congrats

Lol, did you even watch the game?

Imagine a terran loses an orbital command to a protoss. Then he does a drop that lasts about a minute, takes out a base (I think), a ton of workers, and tons of small armies that get thrown at it. In the meantime, a big chunk of the protoss force gets caught out in the middle of the map against EMPs and half of it is destroyed with a hit and run. Then, more multipronged aggression starts to hit another one of the bases, killing even more workers. In the meantime, the terran has secured his main again, and his own fourth, and is coming out ahead in almost every ghost v templar engagement.

Replace terran with protoss and that's what MC did. That's like half of MMA or especially MKP's games. No one would care if it was a terran, but somehow you managed to make this into an AOE whine.

Gratz to MC, dont understand how he does it but it seems to happen every time so it is hard to argue with that ^^

Stephano though, okay "only" 3th place but his over all tournament result is crazy. 13-5 in total against Illusion, Ganzi, Violet, Parting, MC and Squirtle. I wonder how many players on the planet who would have managed that?

It was such a great tournament. Loved the whole but I just wish twitch.tv was able to keep their server from lagging. I was favoring Bomber to win but it was just as great having the BossToss take this one. Simply because he has fun celebrations =D

Show nested quote +

Protoss President is MC's nickname, giving it to someone else would be like calling someone else The Emperor. Calling MC The Protoss President is not only because he is the best protoss but because he was the first truly great protoss, when people look back on the development protoss play in professional Starcraft II it will always begin with MC, that, more so even than his GSL wins is why he is the protoss president.

One day MC will not be the best protoss in the world but whoever overtakes him will not become the protoss president, that will always be MC, they will be bestowed some other title and that's how it should be. MC earned his title and it should only be used to refer to him.

MC is called the "Protoss President" because he once said in an interview that he wants to become the president of South-Korea some day
