Hopefully someone can show this topic to MC so he knows that the haters are just an ignorant, vocal minority, and so he can rest assured that his real fans and plenty of the foreign community support him 100%. IMO few SC2 progamers have made as much effort as MC has to reach out to his foreign fans, and I really respect that.

The only butthurt I detect is from you. He probably heard of the whines and had to lay down the truth, simple as that. Judging by your angry tear-filled response, you got bitch slapped a bit too hard, but MC probably doesn't care.

I think everyone in this thread is saying a lot of the same thing:

MC, we love watching you play, and you never have to make excuses to us. We'll always be fans.

So how about this. How about we tweet this to him, or post it on his facebook page, or make Cheerfuls for him. Let's show him that foreigners like us support him, and that this flak he's getting is the minority.

I'll start: http://twitter.com/tzenes/status/58709753530036224


Good thing!
But "you still have fans" seems way too negative for me.

I support MC's Choice. He was in a situation where he needed a come back and noticed a flaw, not once, but several times, in White-ra's play. He exploited it to win a large amount of money. This is what e-sports is about: playing to win. As spectators it wasn't necessarily the greatest game to watch, but we must always respect the players 100%.

Both White-ra and MC gave us a great series. Well done!

In high level sport, if you figure out an opponents go to play, you let them do it every time until the very end of the game, so they become complacent with it and when it matters, its easy to counter. How is this different?

MC shouldn't have to explain himself. Anyone who was watching would know White-Ra was delaying his gate in the best of five. Many have pointed it out. He did the appropriate build to counter it and White-Ra never saw it coming.

No need to bring more attention to it.

Always play to win, not to entertain the masses. If you can win a big tournament only by cannon rushing or 6 pooling, you will see everybody cannon rushing and 6 pooling. A month from now who's going to care or even remember?

It's not. The haters would counter white-ra's build Xinfinity also for $15k. The one's that say they wouldn't are lying not only to us but themselves also.

If anyone or anything needs criticizing it would be White-Ra's lack of creativity.

MC cares about the community and the fans, of course he gives a little shit. Honestly though he should just ignore the trolls/haters.

Why do people think that game #5 was anti-climatic? I was praying to Allah, Buddha, and many other deities that White Ra would not scout that proxy so oGs.MC would take that game. My heart beat faster, my palm sweated profusely, my eye focused on the screen until that moment. When White-Ra typed out GG, I know MC did it. God answers my prayers.

The LR thread was pretty disgusting after MC won, whether it was blind fanboyism or just simply they were pissed off by cheese is irrelevant. People need to realise that these top players play to win, and MC made a very smart move as he had analysed White-Ra's strategy so much so that he was willing to bet $15,000 on it because he felt that safe.

Grats to MC, let your dominance continue (I want a zerg to dethrone him when the time comes though! A man can dream:p)

he really should not have had to respond to the haters

it's really evident that a significant percentage of viewers have no idea what the strategy portion in RTS means

all MC had to do was quickly review replays and see WhiteRa's opening and whether he scouts around his base for proxies or not. he identified a whole in WhiteRa's PvP game and exposed it.
E-Sports is competitive video gaming with a spectator fan base. Do not take the word "Sports" literally.

I am sure there are many americans on this site that follow football (nfl) and this exact issue comes up all the time. The strictly defensive/non exciting teams get all the flack. It is even the same in hockey (I am canadian I couldn't resist) every spectator would rather see a 9-1 game than a 1-0 game. But the key here is that if you are a fan of one of these teams you commend them for their superior effort and timely defense. There is a reason why in sports that the less exciting way to play wins, and it might be the opposite in esports. In real sports no one wants to see defense, in esports everyone is offended by offense.

I drank with MC a few days before he went to DH and I must say, his new GF is really fkin hot.

Considering that fact plus the fact that he wins a tournament every other week now, I don't think he really cares how people judge his playstyle.


So the real topic of this thread should be: Who is MC's girlfriend and how do we get picutes of her?

I'm american and I absolutely hate how the NFL is changing with the dissecting of the defense.

I appreciate a defense more than offense.

Hate to tell the trolls and haters "I told you so, it was a strategic move and not a lame cheese", but.... I told you so lol

I guess the better you become, the more haters you will get. Natural way of life.

EDIT: Oh, and as someone who doesn't live in their home country anymore, I'm laughing at the comments hating on him saying he wants to go back to korea. There's truly no feeling like touching down on the place you were born in and love.

And by cheated I think they meant robbed (loss of translation?), I remember reading about a player(s) getting robbed there or something.

Ya, exactly. People should be criticizing Whitera for using a bad build and losing because of it.
