I just want to address the people who thought MC's cheese has no respect. People should consider "cheeses" a valid strategy in one's gameplay. It is riskier than standard play but the benefit is the higher win percentage if the opponent's guard is down. Players are actually smart to mix up their gameplay and include cheese in a best of x set. It's all part of strategy.

...MC cheesing 1 game in a best of 5 is fairly awesome imo...the opponent never saw it coming after some awesome intense games.

Having said the above, it's probably less honourable to cheese in a 1 game elimination match.
And for what it's worth...IdrA also "cheesed" but unfortunately failed today.

Anyway, both players played great (MC vs White-Ra) and the production value of Dreamhack was very high. I'm a fan.

Congrats to MC, one of the most fearsome players (if not the top player...he is) on the planet. What a beast.

Woh! Just got home from the after party. Shook hands and talked a bit to IdrA, White-Ra, MC and Jinro! ^^ IdrA seemed to be getting a bit drunk at the end, even more drunk was 2GD - drunking plain whiskey ;D

The best organised tourney so far. Great job by casters, very enjoyable host, and of course these great games. I feel for Morrow and White-Ra. Not dissapointed by the TeamLiquid's performance, I expected it. Fifth game of the finals was... You know.
DemusliM is surely my favorite caster so far.
5+, You made my night Dreamhack. (lol)
Now I lay me down to sleep. bye bye.

Edit: + Show Spoiler +

Woops, looks like I posted it in the wrong thread, hope you guys nevermind it, I am kinda tired of being banned.

Agreed I'd love to see the Idra vs TLO rematch from MLG and White-Ra vs MC rematch.

finally got home from the event. I live 30 miles from stockholm and me and my friends took the morning train 06.14 home.

The event was awesome, we missed the morrow vs mc game tough but when we came there TLO was putting up 7rax and the crowd went wild. I dont know how much of the public u heard on the stream but it was intense. I recorded a video when sjow was beating huk.

When the event was done we took some pics and autographs. I especialyl like this pic [image loading]

After the event we somehow got into the playersparty which was nice. But i think idra doesnt like me.

And 05.30 when we were waiting for our train we saw dapollo asking some coffeehouse personal about the direction to arlanda airport... Hope he made it..

Dreamhack was really awesome. Maximum games played in a couple hours, almost no downtime, great moderation and commenting. D´Apollo and Dmuslim commentated brilliantly and they worked very well togoether.

I disliked the finals, because I really cheered for White-Ra. He was so close of getting it done. Throughout the tournament he was so nice and confident. After every game, he stepped to his opponent, appreciated him and shaked hands. And you could see that it was always honest. MC on the other hand showed no emotions. I know that´s korean style (although in the GSL it´s better), but I hate this behavior.
I understand, that you don´t have to hug and kiss your opponent or get on your knees, as it´s still a competition, but at least some emotion (or did I miss it?). His play is great (not flawless), but his character is weak. That´s my opinion.

O he did, when he won hes first game in the finals, there was the trowing of arms into air, and jumping around on stage after the win. And MC being a Korean, I think this is equal to a European undressing and steeking the stage after a win ?
andalso there was the "clenching of fist, looking cool and making a backwards motion with the arm in aprox 90 degrees" after some of the wins throughout the event,
