Are you saying that Rogue is the best player in the group? | ||

That's not really arguable. | ||

I wonder if he'll be able to do it again (assuming Rogue wins, I guess ZvZ is still pretty knife-fightey). I think so. Fantasy has been getting into form lately and TvZ always seemed like his best matchup. He even beat Life not too long ago. | ||

If you think I'm being sarcastic, explain why there are way more players who achieved a legendary status in SC2 by having mostly a macro-oriented style than players who achieved it by being mostly cheesy like MC | ||

On January 07 2015 20:58 OtherWorld wrote: Well yeah you can dislike his playstyle. But the way he plays his all-ins and cheeses is killer-instinct. That's why he won so much by cheesing so much (and with such an impressive consistency). It also helps that Protoss cheese has a large chance of winning even when it gets scouted relatively early. The whole protoss race seems to be built around early-game (immortal) timings and all-ins, or late-game deathballs that are extremely hard to beat. | ||

He just got lucky with penguin as first match The other players might have had better macro/micro or a better playstyle, but on this day MC was the best player in the group. There aren't that many players with both the intelligence and balls to play like he does. It wasn't just luck. MC is still pretty relevant in SC2 in 2015 and you can just look at his close series with herO recently for how good he is. His strength isn't his micro/macro but as others have said his killer instinct. | ||

I mean he never really scouted after his stargate got scouted so he didnt really know how much fantasy committed to defense and just went for it. agreed. people are over thinking it. MC just stuck to his plan from the start regardless of what happened in game and came out on top. thats fair enough but it is not killer instinct lol. | ||

He is the best RTS player in that group and by far the best SC2 player. You can't fairly compare Fanta's prize money to MC's. They've each been dominant in different games with different histories. And ignoring Fantasy's performances in incredibly stacked BW tournaments and blindly declaring MC the better RTS player is rubbish. He was the better player tonight. That's about all that can be said. | ||
