So weird...
MC is awsome. But he has not been consistent in code S for a while.. i think thats why not so many thought he would be first in this insane group.
Actually Tyler and Incontrol were the ones defending MC. The ones who thought he would fade away were the casters like Artosis and Wolf who thought that MC can only do all-ins. Basically the casters saw MC slumping and try to predict and analyse. But the fast is they just analyse patterns...They can't analyze game play and abilities for shit. Why do you think there is an Artosis curse?

If this groups shown anything its NEVER count out MC. Most people, me included, thought he wouldn't make it out and he advances first
I don't doubt that - but MC's an inconsistent player. One day he's pure boss, like today, and other days he's garbage.
He did nothing to get past MKP - it was all MKP's (faults). On the other hand, his micro in game 2 vs Squirtle made me smile. I highly doubt he will get out of RO8, I'll even bet money on it.

Never count a GSL champion out.
MVP,Nestea and MC have something other pros don't have imo.
Actually I think the law is "Never count a multiple GSL champion out."

which player would you call a consistent top-notch code-s player?

I dunno bout overrated but the only thing i remember tyler or incontrol saying was that the MC then takes a lot of risks

He is definitely slacking - calling the wrong winner, not seeing what is on the screen, bad predictions, etc. Perhaps getting too comfortable in Korea.

No Protoss has been consistent. Inca, Huk, Tester, Killer Hongun and some others are all gone but MC still remains.

I find them sub-competent, I find caldor/kaldor's voice irritating because it's almost impossible to understand for me with the asian accent (which, btw, why the hell does a german have an asian accent?), and stating false facts, making incorrect predictions and predicting things when it's WAY too early to tell, like what build someone is doing when hes at 7 supply, calling gg like 4 times a game. I just don't like them as casters. They are okay for Code A, but they need proper substitutes for Tastosis for Code S if they go elsewhere.
I think Khaldor is good... he really puts the effort in. But Wolf has been pretty shit lately.
Edit: and I loved Wolf when he casted GSL solo ages ago... just lately he's gotten really bad (or my game knowledge has gotten good enough to know when he's really bad).
Seriously, Khaldor is one of the best casters at hte moment. He got so much better since the first time he casted for GOM, and he was already good enough.
'Good enough'?
What's your point?
He had been casting at a ridiculously long amount of time at that point and his passion is genuine, can't hold a sore thorad against him...

I remember them saying he doesn't play Protoss correctly (back then), but this is also around the time he won 2 GSLs.
