Personally, I love when a player is punished for playing greedily. For the same reasons, I don't have a problem with cheeses every once in a while. I mean, if you rely on that to win I won't respect you as a progamer, but MC has proved he is one of the best, if not the best, players in the world. Keeping people honest is no crime in my book.

The best way for MC to respond to the haters would be not to respond at all and keep winning. I think this was a wrong move here by him.

Good rebuttel from MC - White-Ra never changes his opening, MC counters it, that's how pros win tournaments, and congrats to him for doing so.

A win's a win. White-Ra's wins however were way more exciting but a progamers gotta do what a progamers gotta do.

I just hope that the ridiculous hate spewing doesn't turn off pros from entering foreign tournaments. It is great being passionate but this kind of thing can actually hurt the game. Great to see MC giving just as much as he gets. People need to realise their place.

I think first and foremost , cheesing is all fair and square in a competition because you do what you to do win. Thus there are people who supports MC saying it's ok that he cheesed in the last game and there are people flaming him for cheesing.

But MC's point here is that he was not cheesing at all. Cheesing implied something that is luck based. MC's proxy gate was something that was based on knowledge of previous games and white-ra's build. That he scouts after gate and he skips the first zealot. He used the first 4 games to reconfirm it and thus punished him in the 5th game.

So calling it cheese underestimates the amount of thought MC put into that decision. It wasn't like he decided to proxy gate and pray white-ra doesnt make the first zealot and scout early.. He KNEW white-ra wasn't going to scout and make the zealot

It was a calculated build. It's the same as people cheesing Sjow when he didn't SCV scout.

<3 MC, 100% right.

Don't see what fans are bitching about. What did MC do wrong other than win? :/

MC exploited WhiteRa's greedy play perfectly. I noticed that Russian and Ukraine fans have really strong feelings when it comes to players like bratok and Whitea, and they get really angry over anything that doesn't go in their favor. MC played better and smarter, don't try to play down MC's achievement. Cheese in a tournament of this caliber is something that is done intelligently, he got outplayed.

Not sure who was flaming MC but it was a great call to proxy in that game, and MC got to where he is (the best in SC2...for now) by taking those calculated risks and being decisive.

I love WhiteRa as much as the next person and wanted to see him win...but he threw the series away. MC had an epic comeback and deserved to win.

Wow it is actually really cool to hear MC speak about the game; haven't heard him give some form of strategy comments ever. Well played MC.

Why would people BM him? It was clear from the series that he could get a BO win with that cheese...

I don't really get the BM about cheese in general?... People need to be less lazy about scouting early on imo.

He did not say it was dirty, he said "how dirty it seems to be", there is a difference.
