The type of people that were talking about how much less they respected MC for proxy 2 gating White-Ra are probably not going to be watching Starcraft one year from now. They do not appreciate the strategy or the competition, they just want to see a lot of shiny units blowing each other up in high graphics settings. They will move on to the next big thing when it comes.

There is a reason you don't see this in BW LR threads (except from fanboys when it happens to Bisu or Flash) and it is also the reason that game is watched much less. Only the people who are truly interested in the game are left. I think this will be the case with SC2 in the long run too.

at the end of the day

play anyway to win the game. people who complain about cheeses/OP are newbies and immature.

repeated this 1000x.

get with it.

A win might be a win, it does not always speak of skill. However, MC is a professional player. We know he is highly skilled. The uproar at this circumstance of cheesing is absolutely ridiculous.

Jinro was cheated?



no, person who translated did not do a great job. poor choice to use in translation. jinro got 'scammed' is more of correct word of choice in that translation.


on separate note, i do respect MC's choice and it was a right choice. But am I his fan? No. I am fan of players who bring out most entertaining games.

Such as, San, Sen, July, Kyrix, Leenock, MMA, Bomber

and Idra. not for his games but his QQ.

I think to cheese in the ace game of a best of 5 is incredibly gutsy and as MC had said, WhiteRa skipped making an initial zealot which would have been crucial for him to stand any chance against MC in the final game.

I know a lot of people wanted a big, long macro game in Set 5 and while that would've been really cool I was on the edge of my seat because of how all-in MC was going. He was definitely going for broke and I think it made for a really spectacular end to a great series. Hope to see more MC v WhiteRa, they definitely show some of the best protoss games overall.

Should we not respect MC more for 2gate proxying in that match? As we've plainly established, this was no random strat pulled out of thin air to snag a quick win. This was a calculated decision to punish White-Ra for using the same opening build for the entire match up. How many of us would have actually even catch him doing that for 4 games straight and actively decide to use this information to blow him out of the water in the 5th match? Amazing game sense was at play here. Skill tipped the balance in MC's favor, not luck.

I think at the end is like this, mc won the tournament but if you ask me who was the better player overall the tournament White Ra takes that price.

Strongly disagree. The first two games it felt like MC was just playing some odd styles for showmanship sake when he could've easily 4-gated and won every set.

MC even said himself in an interview that 4-gate is mandatory on a map like Tal'Darim Altar with wide entrance, yet he tried to make a sentry play work just because he felt like it. Second game, same idea he could've easily pressured a lot harder on White-Ra's base since he saw the expo go up, but he wanted to show off some fancy blink play and very nearly pulled it off.

누가 영어로 해석해서 나를 욕하는 외국인에게 보여줬으면 좋겠다 화이트라는 5판연속같은빌드를 했고 난 그 빌드의 카운터빌드를 했을뿐인데 그걸 가지고 치즈라니 질럿 안뽑고 시작하니까 전진게이트를 하지... 천칠백만원짜리 게임인데 확신이있으니깐 한거고

난 프로니까 이기는 게임을 한것뿐 그리고 지금은 비행기가 늦어져서 터키에서 헉과 진로와 기다리는중.. ㅜㅜ 빨리 한국 가고싶어

재밌는 사실은 나랑 진로는 터키에 비자없이 들어왔는데 헉은 비자를 만들었다 쌩돈 20만원가량을 날린셈 ㅋㅋ 진로는 스웨덴에서 사기도 당하고 오늘 일진참 사나웠다

Okay the translation in the OP is really sloppy so I'll just redo it.

"I hope someone translates this and show it to foreigners who are talking shit about me. white-ra did the same build 5 times in a row and I just counted the build. You can't call that a cheese. He never made a zealot so that's why I proxy gated him. It was a $15000 game and that's how confident I was.

I'm a pro so I just played the winning game. Right now the flight was delayed so Huk Jinro and I are stuck in Turkey ㅠㅠ. I wanna go home

Fun fact. We came in without a visa but Huk decided to make one and wasted 200 bucks lol. Jinro even got scammed in sweden and today was just a shitty day."

Kind of unprofessional by MC honestly. Do you see a coach apologizing for calling a hail-mary play in football on the last play of the game? No.

Do I feel his last 3 games vs white-ra were pathetic allins? Yes. Do I think he should tweet about it to the world? No, because he's just feeding the trolls. Whatever happens happens. Did I lose tons of respect for MC for 4 gating 2 of the last 3 games when cutting probes at 20 and proxy 2-gating the last game? Sure, but seeing him respond to vocal people just makes me even lose more respect for him.

this isn't the 1960's. twitter/facebook/social media completely changes the interaction between professionals and their fans. you DO see tons of NFL pros clarifying situations that the media decides to make a story. you didn't see this 50 years ago, no, but its a different era. welcome to the internet.


edit: and what the hell is the point in making an analogy between a SC2 progamer and a football coach? why not make a more relevant comparison, say a BW progamer? and BW progamers often apologize and explain their plays to their cafes and blogs when netizens QQ.

I just can't help but find everything mc says and write sound egocentric. Maybe its the translations but he just seem so full of himself. No I don't think it was wrong of him to proxy, nor do I think that so many people were "talking shit about him". There will always be people who criticize and usually they are far fewer than the ones who don't. It takes someone like mc to get upset about a few insignificant people who did not like a proxy gate though.

It's called confidence. If he was all unsure of himself, he'll receive more criticism.

the entire reason boxer and mc wanted to do dreamhack was to spread esports to foreign fans. of course he's going to care about what americans and europeans think of him after he beats white-ra in the finals.
