Stop with the whole jet lag excuse. MC has had more then two days to recover from it and wouldn't have made it to round 4 if it was effecting him that much. | ||

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  gratz nerchio Im not sure about this, I think its more that mc just doesnt seem to be comfortable with pvz lategame which IS in a pretty bad state lately.. Well see what yongwa can do I guess.. But I never understood how zergs loose to these allins, when they fail they look so silly and defending them looks so easy and its basically all zergs have to train rightt now, right? It cant be this complicated :/ (genuinely no clue about zerg play, dont kill me please) | ||

I still remember him stream sniping Stephano over and over again to let Stephano's stream viewers see that he's the better ZvZer. He's got a vanity thing going on, and used to be BM when he loses, but hey, it motivates him to get better. | ||

It works most of the time but when it doesn't people call it "horrible play" but when it does everybody's like "MC is the best protoss!!!! yadayadayada!". Nah, every all-in is not created equal, meaning the correct application of a specific all-in relative to the build order of the opponent plays a huge role in the success of said all-in. These all-ins were not MC caliber, at least not when compared to his more successful tournament runs. | ||

You will never see a player lose, and them just go: damn he played real good, its always 'i messed up', etc no recognition ever | ||

It looks like MC played bad BECAUSE his opponent played well. Give credit where credit is due. GJ Nerchio P.S. Im a protoss player so its my nature to favor protoss players. | ||

Nerchio is a preparer; in these games, he played different strategies every game, and MC was not able to meta-game him, which gave him the victory. I think MC just misread Nerchio as a player. He wanted to rely on his psychological advantage and just win with well-executed 2 base all-ins, hoping that Nerchio would get flustered and fold under pressure. Thing is, Nerchio is actually really good in the midgame, great at defending all-ins, and a lot worse with lategame Zerg deathballs. MC probably would've had a lot more success if he just played standard. | ||

I like Nerchio man, nothing against him. I just said that this smile was so much like him making fun of his opponent. Trolling and provocation is really normal, but you have to do it in a certain way, in front of your opponent and not like this, smiling alone as if you were making fun of your opponent. Now maybe I'm thinking too much, but I know asian people (I'm not but I've lived in Japan for 8 years) actually really really care about that. You can make fun, troll and provoke your opponent, but there is a way to do it. Showing respect is the most important thing. So now it's ok, it's HSC, everyone is having fun and Nerchio certainly did (EDIT: I meant did not) do that on purpose, but still I have the right to give my opinion and say I didn't really liked his smile at that moment. | ||

It works most of the time but when it doesn't people call it "horrible play" but when it does everybody's like "MC is the best protoss!!!! yadayadayada!". No, you're getting slightly confused. If you watch MC play regularly you could see his play today wasn't his top form. He made bad decisions, he went for a base trade in the last game without a probe outside his base, he spent the minerals he needed to make a pylon outside. You can nitpick many other examples, even his forcefields didn't look as good as usual. While it's true MC goes for 2-base allins a lot vs zerg, he's usually better at decision making which is what normally wins him games, alongside his micro. Basically, you can play 2-base allins well, or you can play badly, using the same build, and you get extremely different results, this is an example of the latter. This obviously doesn't mean Nerchio didn't play well, he did very nicely and got the job done, defending appropriately and responded well without overextending. People think saying a player didn't play his best is some sort of insult to the winner. Of course it isn't, if the winner had played bad he might have lost despite of his opponents mistakes. Nerchio played excellent that series. One doesn't exclude the other. | ||

No, I'm not. I was there when he stream sniped Stephano 7-8 times in a row after Stephano told him to stop doing it. | ||

It's just the safest way to play. I guess we'll just agree to disagree, but I really don't know how you can watch all the stuff you claim and have managed to miss all of the macro games the matchup has offered >< | ||

Which bited him in the ass when Stephano knocked him out of the DH 2 - 0  Yeah, Nerchio is a troll, disliked by many, including me, but you have to admit that his level of play is impressive. | ||
