I don't understand how anyone is capable of hating White-Ra. He could be the worst SC2 player of all time, yet his bubbly personality, his profound manner, and his hilarious Ukrainian accent still make him a lovable character.

He's such a nice guy, and I definitely would have a few beers with him

(though I don't drink lol)

Thanks :D

Wonder what they thought about the other players

I guess they were not really that impressive. White Ra and MC stole the show

Winners win. What else can one say?

White-Ra is my hero. MC won. White-Ra is still my hero.

gonna have to agree completely. if anyone takes something from this thread i hope its this.

you blame the game when the best strategy isint entertaining to watch but you give the winner respect regardless.

WhiteRa may not have won, but he gained the respect of Korea everywhere. And in the end isn't that what truly matters?

No. WhiteRa should have at least got a bit of cash for his efforts. The stupid prize pool (winner takes all) ruins what was an otherwise amazing tournament.
But yeah, reading the Korean response is always nice.

It was only a matter of time before the Koreans recognized the greatness that is White-Ra. The beast from the west.

deserve is meaningless, it comes from the age of entitlement

earned is the only worthwhile word. people earn respect, they don't deserve it.

White-Ra earned respect due to his long history and recent success

I'm really disappointed that the international fans whined enough about the proxy gates that MC felt the need to justify himself on Twitter. Really bad impression from our community imo.
