MC was always abusive player. Whenever MC shines you can tell protoss has some strong early aggression.
Only reason he gets away with it without hate is because he has an awesome personality.
Most other protoss players would be hated for relying only on "sucker punch" builds.

You mean like HerO? Oh wait

HerO always had interesting and distinct way of playing PvZ.. I always respected him for that.

I missed his series against Polt so I dont know how he played (I will watch them through replay pack), but from what I've seen in his games against Innovation, I see how he could lose some fans after those games...

It is not like protoss is weak against terran late game so he is playing against a clock... I was hoping for a great macro games between 2 good players but he just ruined the experience for me..

Good think there were some other good TvPs at IEM to wash that bitter taste.

He went for some early aggression builds. Had Inno defended them you would have gotten those macro games. Not every player is going to go straight for the late game all the time.

Hero had the exact same style as Sase for example, it wasn't really disctinctive. he used a lot of warp prisms and counterattacks. besides this he was and is just as cheesy as MC. but he is liquid so he gets praised.

MC gets praised lol. Aside from that neither player is cheesy. They can both play macro games as well as anyone. The fact that they are very good at early aggression, harassment, and micro shouldn't condemn them.

They are cheesy/all inish. That is a fact. I am not saying that is necessary bad for everyone, heck even Mvp cheesed in a BoX series, but he was also capable of great macro games (not only in theory but he actually played those macro games).

Oh come on if you've never seen HerO or MC play macro games then you barely watch any Starcraft. You clearly have a clear set of opinions about certain players that won't be shaken so w/e.

This was the case for PuMa. Sure, he abused the crap out of 1-1-1, but he was actually one of the better macro/late game Terran back in the day.

That is true for any pro player. You have to know how to play macro games. Some players will be more aggressive, but you can't be a pro if your opponents know you will cheese 100% of the time.

Exactly, they are both very skilled with early aggression, but can play the late game just as well.

He did this in the final game of his semi final series against Hyun at IEM New York last year. Apparently it shows his incredible guts or something haha
