I don't see how he "gifted" his army to MC. He was at the top of ramp with MC having to go up.......which is a favorable position for ANY player. He had the upgrade advantage AND killed the colossus swiftly. Yet he still got his army crushed? Big ups to MC for winning but I am still confused in that engagement.

clearly wasn't quite as all in as you'd like to believe then -_-


He means that MC didn't actually go for the all-in. If he had then it would have been all-in, but as he didn't he was not.

What are you saying? 'Attacking' would be a more accurate term.. All in is usually a strategy that either must kill/cripple the opponent or leaves you severely behind.

Tomorrow we shall see how to do well in TvZ.

I expect it will be following these guidelines:
1. Be Byun.
2. Don't not be Byun.

What the fuck? He has made two straight Ro8's in Code S.

Not surprised to see NesTea get a favourable Map Pool tbh.

He was right, what is your problem? Haven't you seen MC play in 2010-early 2011?

Or do you expect incontrol to predict a player's change of style?

Yeah, MC is definitely not the most successful player topping the earnings at #1.


Not sure if reading skills?

So MC changed his style and is no longer utilizing risky timings and all-ins to boost his win-rate?

Hmm.. I never saw MC as the predictable macro-toss... kinda like the Idra of Aiur.

I think the unpredictability of MC makes him stronger on Bo5. I was amazed by Taeja's engagement but that doesn't lead him to the semi-final.

MC is a dark knight of Protoss.
He never lose his true color until now.

MC had collosus and STORMS.Charging up there was the worst decision.
He gifted his entire army(MEDIVACS if he had save them there is still a chance but no) for a nexus and all his collosus.
MC counter attacked and destroy his third while MC finished his .
That was game over.

I love how all the haters come out saying "2 base all in" when MC only used it in one game. The first four gate was hardly an all-in and just killed taeja. First, second, and last game were all macro games. MC took a third, and remade his nat when it died. Was never an all in.

But these haters can keep spouting bs to justify their tears lol. Knew MC would advance but Taeja did good.

It was clearly suppose to be a 2 base attack but MC showed up and saw that he wasnt breaking it and Taeja didnt have a 3rd so he just said "okay then expansion time".

What kind of bs is that? He made it to two Ro8s in a row... beat Mvp, Mkp and almost got MC... If there' any fault in Taeja's play against Protoss is his mid-game... MC outplayed all but once (G4)... even against Seed, Taeja lost by not being able to hold the mid-game timings... He is a really good player, another great TL choice after HerO... Taeja's rise has actually been quicker than HerOs... just needs a tournament win now.

Will today's winners face each other?

Or is it Seed vs. Nesta and MC vs. DRG in the semis?

He probably thought that there was no way MC could have had storms yet.

EG.Incontrol, 2010


Incontrol really said that???


there was actually a whole state of the game episode where all of them agreed that MC wont be successul with his high risk high reward playstyle, but yeah incontrol and Tyler used to be very vocal how mc will fall off sooner or later^^

Funny thing is, that's how MC's style use to reflect circa 2010-mid 2011. It's only within the past 6-8 months has MC blossomed into the fully rounded (and I mean FULLY) rounded toss we see today.


He was fully rounded already during the first NASL finals against PuMa, which was a year ago. It's just that TL is pretty slow on the uptake when it comes to players changing their styles.
