MC played like a mid - master Protoss strategy wise in the whole bo7. I really don't understand the decisions he made there. Ofcourse he's not a bad player and his mechanics still were very good, but from his builds and strategy he didn't look like a champion at all.


Mid-master? That's laughable, but can't say I'm surprised as that is pretty expected from you


Ofcourse, could you please take a look into his decisions regarding strategy? Last game he scouts a very early starport and he can assume its a stim-timing after a gas-fe and also scouts double-reactors. He then decides to go very greedy for double forge which means he'll have no DPS at all against the bio force. Taeja could have won the match right when TLO called out that heromarine scouting everything. No way he would have defended the bio force.

As I said MC's mechanics were good as always even though on Metropolis he was playing kind of sloppy, yet the decisions through the series wasn't better than from a masters player. If you hate on me for pointing that out, I will just leave you as a MC fanboy. I like that boss as well, but this certainly was very argueable.

If you think that was "mid-masters" strategy wise, I don't know what to tell you. He certainly made a lot of strategic mistakes, but that laughable exaggeration just discredits any point you may actually have. I'm not a MC "fanboy" at all by the way and you will find it difficult to find anything supporting that assertion.


Ofcourse its an exaggeration. Its used to make a point very clear. What I am saying is he wasn't competitive to Taeja nor would he have been competetive to any other pro Terran in the fashion he just played this bo7 with those decisions. Taeja played beautiful games with amazing control and splits, not taking away anything from him but not pointing out he greatly took advantage of MCs strange play would be wrong.

Looking forward to see more TvZ of him, as it impresses me a ton more than his TvP.

He is the best at the moment. He is not the most accomplished, but in his current shape he is better than any other player.

Naruto had a point. I mean, if you scout fast medivacs and know he has a fast stim from his opener and you see dual reactor which = alot of marines then you want AoE, but mc got double forge and immortals and a 3rd nexus which is just ridiculous.

Naruto also thinks that European Protosses are strategic geniuses whereas Koreans are a bunch of one-dimensional idiots. Seriously, he talks about this practically every time there is an LR thread.

Taejas early Ghost Academy (stop fucking reactively adding ghosts when templars are already out!!) and then energy upgrade before ghosts seems like it could become standard TvP.

Yeah, I guess they should gamble and try to blind counter even if they have no info on what tech path the Protoss player is choosing, right?

Gamble? Blind? What are you talking about? Of course you scout normally, does that need to be stated?

Though, i imagine even if you're playing in lower leagues and not scout at all, early ghosts is probably a better choice (because they're always gonna be useful, unlike vikings) rather than sitting on MMM and waiting to see if colossi or templars knock on your door and reacting afterwards.
