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 :/


Dude, MC has always played like this. 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.


First you say that I am getting slightly confused and then you move onto agreeing with post, wtf?

No, he's saying his play wasn't bad, it was just his regular play because he always 2-base allins. I'm saying he does allin a lot, but that doesn't mean he was up to his normal level, he was playing his normal builds, but in a sub-par performance.

As in, it actually was "horrible play", despite the build he used.

By the way, quick sanity check: Is it a normal experience that you want at least half the people posting in this thread to be permanently banned from the internet or is that just me?

People like you should go out, and stop watching SC2.

What ? Just because I say I'm not really fond of someone's smile ?? 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.

Is this a joke?

Do people like you really exist? o_o

Sorry but I don't get where is your surprise coming from.

Pretty normal. It's basically Europeans (EU fanboys like me) vs Americans (Korean fanboys, cause they don't have own players to cheer for).
