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. 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. Oh, come on... Anyway, our point about not going Colossi allowing the Medivac count to snowball out of control was clearly proven in this series, no?
No it wasn't.
MC is a seasoned veteran, he isn't going to get nervous or psyched out by literally anyone, which means he made all the decisions he made consciously. And his insight is considerably deeper than yours.

Useless questions. "blah blah did you expect to win, blah blah did you expect it to be easy"
I hate these useless interviews.

... if you want to discuss with me, PM me. Don't state things I've not, but for you, every strategy ever invited was also created by Koreans right  ?

Taeja saying terran isn't that bad... hmm... :D

lol Taeja fawning all over his trophy

Terran is very different race for the 99.999% that does not have TaeJa level micro.
Guess Battle Hellions and Warhounds will even out the micro requirements.

MC was trying to play like Parting. MC doesnt know how to play like Parting. That's basically the finals in a short...

Not really. But 99% of solid Protoss play was either created or drastically improved (to the point of being a different build) by Koreans, notably MC, Creator, and Hero.

Thank you Asus for a wonderful tournament.
Makes me glad I bought a G74SX.
Gratz to Taeja. Liquid fighting!

Amazing day of Starcraft, and TSL still left.
Nerd life is good.

While I can't argue about his insight being deeper than mine, I can point out that he suffered a terrible defeat without looking remotely close to being a threat at all to Taeja, while others in this tournament have with a different kind of approach in PvT.
