People were abusing MC about that?

He read white-ra's game and saw a weakness against early aggression. He adapted perfectly to counter it and white-ra wasn't able to handle MC's shift in play. Being able to pull that build out in a final of a bo5 for $10,000 would have taken balls of steel, especially considering he was the strong favourite going in. It was made even more impressive since I don't think I have ever seen MC do a "cheese" build like that before.

I didn't see the finals yet, but who is BM'ing him, and how? Were the swedes throwing Nerdballs at him at the airport? If he concludes that the way he concluded that Jinro was cheated by being knocked out in the first round, he should sniff in his korean patriot flag and get over it.
MC is without a doubt probably the best player in the world right now, but isn't the arrogant "thumb down" thing his pose?

Altho I can imagine at some point people's flames start getting to you, I'm surprised he's reacting to it all the same. People are always going to bitch and whine when someone they like lose, virtually in whatever fashion it happens.

I'm usually not a MC fan but White Ra deserved to lose that set.

white-ra didn't even consider that there could be proxy gates, mc exploited that weakness. You'd think people would be able to wrap their heads around that

I think what people are bitching about is that a very great finals got a very anticlimactic last game. If he was cheesing in game 3 noone would've cared. Still, a win is a win and it's pretty silly to complain at all :/ As MC said, it was a very thought out strategy.

He cheesed the final game of the series when it was 2-2 bo5

Hurrr. Because it's bad to punish a build right?

It's so silly that this is causing a problem.

MC could have gone the long way to a victory, or just cut out the extra fat that is of White-Ra's build and go straight for the early win.

Why should he be subject to a long overly-drawn out game when there's consistency in White-Ra's build and the faults are always blatantly obvious.

Opportunity presented itself, he took it.

Nice tweet, I respect MC for it.

Buuu to all the trolls/haters, I'm tired of reading all the crap on the chat streams how X player is bad when you yourself have no skills, MC won $15000 after that game, what have you accomplished?

I had no real problem with that game in particular but I hate cheesy games in general.

Can some of the haters come out please?
MC's "cheese" was carefully thought out through analyzing ra's playstyle.
Regardless of if it's set 1 or 5, he showed through his plays that he was the better player by skill and not by luck

He just means he thinks Jinro deserved to go further and getting knocked out first round in a big tournament in your home country kind of sucks. At least... that's what I would assume.

I'll clear this so ppl dun come up with weird idea.

He said he got frauded/ripped off. Simple as that nothing more.

A win is a win hands down. When you are playing for that much money, you should do everything you can to win.

I definitely cheered for White-ra, but in this case it was so obvious it will work I did not even slightly get annoyed with MC, I got slightly annoyed(not really in the angry way, more like sad) with White-ra that he did not scout his base. And harassing MC because of that is even worse.
