All Korean fanboys plz put your head under water for 5 min.

Yeah Nerchio just took down best protoss on the planet and is 18-4 so far in the tournament. Pure luck of course.


I'm not sure MC is the best toss on the planet, and even though my favourite players are all koreans, I've always loved Nerchio's style and I've always trusted his chances against good korean players.

No luck indeed.

Well all-ining several times in a row usually works for MC, so nobody can really blame him for what. It would be weird to not play the style you are most comfortable and had most succes with, but as Bly said, Nerchio is just so good at defending them and does never hesitate to basetrade or something.

I don't understand why Zergs don't just practice against all-ins. It's pretty much the only way people play high level PvZ, so why bother practising macro strats? Barely any Protoss players macro against Zerg because it's a lost cause. Just train against 2base all-ins and you'll be fine.


Who says they don't...

Nechio is around the same level as Stephano anyway, flawed logic withstanding.

Random nobody?

Nerdchio is the best EU Zerg other than Stephano.

Well with this win he maybe took the spot as best foreigner zerg. If he takes the tournament, I will call him current best foreigner zerg.


I don't think you can call someone the best foreigner zerg because of one tournament result, Stephano constantly posts consistently better results than Nerchio in big tournaments. Nerchio would have to win a couple more things before he could stake that claim.

From your point of view, which is judging current skill from tournaments which happened in the last 6 months, I agree. But my point of view is that SC2 is very very volatile and that only less than a month results matter. It's a recent change in my mind, but check MVP, he was top a month ago & this month he's average.

I think MC's weakness, his overconfidence, cost him the series. I remember the last time he played nerchio and he 3-0 him in humiliating fashion. Think MC thought he could do the same this time, so ended up playing pretty badly thinking he could still win with the strats he used today. Pretty disappointing series. Yongwha must now carry the torch and win home story!

Because some of them just look like fish out of water when a Protoss all-ins them.

I don't understand what's wrong with MC all-ining. 2 base all-ins are more standard than "macro" play in PvZ currently so what's the problem?

I liked the way Nerchio won that, pretty convincing, but him smiling like this after winning. It looks bm to me. Maybe I'm the only one but that's my impression.

He basically just beat the most succesful protoss in the world, when you work so hard, so much practice etc and it pays off maybe he finds it hard not to smile?

I remember reading an interview where nerchio says he thought he was on a similar/same level as stephano.

You misunderstand, I don't say it was bad for him to be happy and show it, but this smile, it looked so much like he was making fun of MC so badly. I've nothing against him, just to say I wouldn't be too happy if I just lost and saw my opponent showing this kind teasing smile. I wouldn't blame my opponent but still it would make me a bit angry inside.

As Incontrol said, that was in convincing fashion. He has showed he can handle robo play, stargate play, gateway allins. And he has has played with roaches, ling/infestor, muta. Very impressive.

Meh, the only thing this series should convince anyone of is that MC has his down days. He played too poorly for this to reflect too greatly on Nerchio, although his reactions to MC's mistakes were certainly proficient.

Oh great here we go again
foreigner beats a top korean, korean played poorly

stop that bs please


So youre saying he didnt? Mc lost with some pretty silly allins and barely won after holding an 8 pool while taking no damage.
He didnt play well, I dont see how one can even argue this..

Im still confused by MCs play, is he so afraid of playing macro against zergs?

And yeah, nerchio played that well but the last game was a buildorder win which is always lucky to some degree, why cant some people just accept this?

Lets see how Yongwa does :/



Its simple really. MC underestimated Nerchio.

There were alot of causes. But lets go back to before this match started. MC went into this having 'smashed' Nerchio many times, with both Protoss and Terran. I dont believe he had ever lost to Nerchio.

Nerchio is top 3 foreign zerg, who is good at 'all-in's. MC played into Nerchios comfort zone, while underestimating him. Thats the best recipe for an upset. And we got one. MC y so arrogant sometimes??? he has the best macro pvz, idk why he only plays macro pvz vs stephano and drg

I don't see a single reason for a European to move to Korea only to play in Code A or S. That's basically the only tournament they have there and the pricepool is way too low for anyone to move there for 3 months.

Yeah because money is everything in sports...
