So yeah it's normal what he did, but man he's really annoying me with the "i'm sc2 god" attitude. This guy will fall, badly, and man i will laugh Nice job accusing MC of being outplayed and going for cheese when there's a very credible post right above yours that pretty much refutes the idea completely. You couldn't have posted at a more perfect time if you wanted to look ignorant.
Yeah he has been outplayed, and oh god I looked ignorant on TL! Man my life is over. WhiteRa did the huge mistake of not expecting a cheese on g4 & 5, he over probed, didnt scout enough, and played quite bad, it was like he thought this was already won. But yeah, MC didnt impress me at all during this tournament. And yeah very credible post from an ex team mate of his who insults everyone that disagree with him, way to go tard thats how you debate. And seriously, WhiteRa isnt really solid, there is huge mistakes in his play, I remember seing him supply block himself at the worse moment ever (4 gate at his ramp), mis microed some units at early stages, and yeah MC didnt win him in a convincing way. Therefor, yeah, MC isnt a sc2 god like everyone tends to say, he's a top player worldwide, for sure, but so far from being unbeatable, we'll talk about it in 2 month anyway, dear genius, I'm so sorry for exposing my ignorance to you, you made me laugh tho
Edit: and about IdrA, I like his style, I dont over estimate him like a lot of people do, he just makes me laugh as a cocky player in his interview and reactions, MC is just cocky and there is nothing funny there, but yeah you could compare the two, IdrA is just entertaining

I think many of us can read between the lines and know that you and many other people are just disappointed that the foreigner lost.
Almost everytime a shitstorm like this happens, the foreigner used the same build every single time on in BoX series. They just need to vary their build.

White-ra would probably, after reading all these pages be: What is problem? MC good player. I not good enough.

Yeah, and it is funny, regardless of his play, IdrA creates fun all around, even people who hate him enjoy seing what was this nerd last scandal, and what bullshit will he say next. I mean, seing some of his posts on this forum, this kid has some really bad manner, and said some things that should get him a good old slap ("WE saved France from nazis" I really dont care about the last part, but I always hated when a 20 years old nerd takes credit for something that was 70 years ago), but at least it makes the pro scene a little bit less "calm" and, I dont know how to say it in english but colorless lets say. So i'm a "fan" in that way, he's the only one you can follow and never be bored

Of course the finals isn't entertaining. It's PvP, what do you expect? I've yet to see a build that is not gateway heavy into robo. I can probably predict how a standard game plays out with a good chance of nailing it.

Well I can man up and say that i was slightly dissapointed but thats not the reason why i post this.
If you stopped reading between the lines and actualy read what i wrote, you would understand that it is the way MC won thats the problem not that MC won.

Cool except NOBODY hated on him for winning in that fashion. NOBODY. (Except maybe a few gold players who thought of it when they saw this thread)

TLO's usage of phoenixes in PvP vs WhiteRa if i remember right was really cool to watch and seemed kinda effective, but yeah PvP is boring as fuck

While i think that the game 5 was pretty shitty, anyone who blames MC for doing what he thinks is best to win is retard

I think most people with this argument still hasn't come to the point of starcraft 2, where executing a build order is the least of your troubles, and you start seeing the strategy, the positioning, the mind games and the full depth of what is starcraft. Basically people are saying "I can do proxy gates. MC is a noob". I encourage you. READ the thread and his tweet. He did it because WhiteRa has done the same build in PvP in basically every game they've played eachother (now up to 9), where he skips the for all other builds, mandatory first zealot. This makes him extremely vulnerable until his second stalker is out, where he's in an advantage. You can't say MC's a noob, can't win a macro game and whatever shit people are saying, just 'cause he went for a build order that isn't difficult to execute, because it's simply not relevant.. at all.
You could just as well say that WhiteRa did a cheesy, risky build every single game, and in the end MC simply blind countered it.
To make it extreme. How would you stop a double expanding protoss who doesn't even make a gateway? You make units and attack early on before he gets his full advantage, because if you wait too long (in this case until the second and third stalker is out) you're in big doo doo, as 3 stalkers beat a stalker and a zealot, and if you have complete map control in PvP, you're free to do whatever you want, as you generally only attack with warped in units from a proxy pylon.

Don't really care about the drama, but it's hilarious how the people claiming WhiteRa "outplayed" MC in the first two games, and then lost to "cheese", are primarily Terran and Zerg players (or at least posters with Terran and Zerg icons). As a Protoss player, hearing someone complain about 1 base all-ins in PvP being "cheesy" is just so weird, because everything MC did in games 3 and 4 was as standard as you can possibly get, in the context of the matchup. In actuality, it was WhiteRa's expansions that were extremely risky and unsafe.
Seriously, being mad at players for 4gating in PvP is so stupid. Be mad at Blizzard for putting retarded crap like Warpgates in the game and for removing most of the defensive advantages that were present in BW. This is even worse than the marine/scv all-in hate back from GSL S3, because Terrans at least had different, viable options in TvZ back then; while a Protoss is practically required to build 4 Gateways in every PvP, or risk losing automatically.
|
man, who really talks shit about pros who cheese?
I back him 100% and anyone who is saying he didn't earn the victory is delusional
|
There's absolutely no reason for MC to have to defend himself. This isn't ladder, this is his job. He was hired by OGS to win championships, and he's fulfilling his end of the contract.
|
For those bming, just think about this situation: in a world cup match, if your opponent goalkeeper accidentally miss pass the ball to you, will you try to score or simply pass back cause the fans want an entertaining game?
The answer is damn obvious ain it? you always play to win, don't bullcrap here about beautiful execution, Whitera should have realized his build only weakness is a 2 gate proxy, and should have tried to scout it every game.

I don't think everyone was necessarily hating him but how he got there. And of course I was mad but he still won it pretty fairly.

Yes i see your point, please read some of the other posts i wrote so you understand that im not enraged or calling MC a noob(even if its easy to think so based of that single post).
Im just too lazy to post all of my arguments twice http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=8803293 http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewpost.php?post_id=8803200
I just dislike MC's descicion to cheese the last game and kind of scar that series.
|
How can anyone -- how dares anyone BM someone for winning? I hope it's not someone from TL. 
As much as I love WhiteRa, MC is a great player and he deserved the win, regardless how he did it. The ends justify the means right?
