I'm worried for MC, he rarely wins series from behind

Yeah this is true. Come on MC. It's not that his mentality is weak per se, I feel, but a lot of the time when he starts out losing, it just gets really really hard.

This is a must-win for MC. Crap they just said it too. :X

I would say it's because he always plays so consistently. He won't kick it up a level because he had a plan coming in and has been using it the whole time. Taeja is just playing Terran more effectively than any other terran in the world right now. If MC can't stop him, it is very telling.

~equal army supply with taeja having better upgrades + 30-40 scvs to tank damage/storms. dunno why people are so suprised about how the fight went. the only thing mc had going for himself was better tech but he still only had 4 storms.

He also had around 10 FFs, which he used horribly, he should have stalled at the ramp, that was really bad decision making

Dude his unit control at the end was amazing.


Yeah, his unit control was amazing, but that's what I expect of top players
Still think this is more of an MCs loss than Taeja's win.


I agree i guess. People are being very black or white about it. Taeja made the correct desicion to attack, in hindsight it was probably his only chance to win the game, and controlled it very very well. On the other hand MC made the wrong desicion to engage, and his storm micro didn't match up to taeja's bio micro.

noob question: when the terran player pulls all scvs, shouldnt the protoss just pull all his workers, too? this fight was so close and i feel like mc would have won if we pulpled all his probes to tank some hits.

your zealots cant attack behidnd workrs but marines can


Also, SCV has more life =45.
In the heat of battle, shield or health regeneration of probe/drone doesn't matter as much. So, often times SCV pulls are more effective for those reasons.


In the time of the 2gate pvp, probe trains were standard

Looks like a SteelSeries Siberia from here.

EDIT: Appears to be of the v2 variety.

Yeah I already thought it was a Siberia, but the thing what where i'm wondering about is the lightning thing just like the Banshee headet from Razer. Looks cool though, better then the Banshee (which I have).

I feel like MC could've held had his HTs been positioned on the high ground. This would've allowed him to storm behind Taeja's army whilst sandwiching the front with his own as well as allowing the Archons to morph in safety.

Seriously you make it sound like Taeja was just a moving into MC there

lol seriously even a monkey could have dodged those storm, did u watch the same game I did? MC stormed RIGHT in the front, like half of his storm radius hit the front of taeja's units, no FFs behind, Taeja just moved back a lil bit and there u go, every zealots are in the storm area

not saying taeja isn't good, of course he's an amazing player, but for god sake MC fucked that up extremely ridiculously badly

Yeah, they were not stellar storms, but they were storms that have won countless televised games of StarCraft II.

Ok that's one thing I'm not liking MC. Stop putting your forges in vulnerable positions! But I guess there aren't too many safe places against Taeja lol

Nah they were horrible storms, almost completely missed. Taeja just did his job, his micro was nice, but those were easy to dodge storms, really really poorly placed, particularly considering there were no ghosts to make it more difficult to place a good storm

no, the storms that have won countless televised game of starcraft 2 were better than that, do you think MC is a robot or something? he doesn't always play the exact same

he made obvious mistakes this game and it is what it is

Interesting that MC puts his forges in exactly the same position as Hero did.

In that game Taeja abused that.

Taeja would be an excellent pickup for a team! Oh wait... brilliant scouting by Nazgul and Co!

A code S player, multiple GSTL all kills and a long string of topping Korean TLPD with Korean weekly wins.

That's not scouting that's common sense.


Great recruiting then. After all he is now playing for Liquid and not another team.
