EPTIt was blatantly obvious what MC was doing and why he was doing it.
You have to mix up your builds in a Bo5. Then there are guys like BoxeR who can knock out players like YellOw doing bunker rushes. He's BoxeR for a reason.

Get over it. Haters gonna hate I feel the same way. I'm not a big fan of MC because he is really cocky/over-confident and some of the things he says comes of as rude and bm. But he is an extremely good player and doesn't deserve all the hate towards him. I'm sure if a lot of people were put in his position, they would do the same. | ||

I'd love to hear your explanation on how MC won and white ra didn't but somehow white ra is better? Nice contradiction. | ||

MC won more games and lost less game, combined AND in direct series with white-ra. The question of who was the better player needs no argument. It's a sport. The better team is the one that wins. | ||

Was it fun to watch? No Was it the sign of a very good player? Yes MC gathered data from all 4 games and knew WR would be weak in the early game due to previous builds, thus he executed a strategy that would blow him out the water, and it did. For that it is fun to watch someone pick another player apart by playstyle. | ||

If he overreacted with needless insults like "YOU NOOBS HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING. I'M 1000 TIME BETTERS THAN YOU SO STFU ABOUT CHEESE OR WHATEVER", then yea I would be calling him an immature kid who can't take criticism, but that is not MC has done here. He merely gave rational reasons behind his strategies for people who didn't understand or refused to understand his proxy gate. | ||

In fact, to me, MC has simply shown me how strategically adaptive he is, truly a man of virtu (Machiavellian term for effective power/manliness,etc), and in starcraft, a man's game of manliness, strategic dominance and executions of those strategies is the only thing that matters, morals and respect do exist, they exist between the hearts of the top players, but there is no 'moral' way of playing starcraft, if exploitation is the key to victory, then it in the game-sense, it's the right thing to do and the heroic and truly manly thing to do. For that, MC deserves his title "God Protoss/ Krato Protoss" | ||

I saw the match, I didn't feel that whitera was the better player, mechanically, i think both players were about even, strategically MC won over and thus MC to me was the better player. | ||

Maybe if Jinro or HuK reads this they'll pass it on. Seriously. I kind of respect him for proxy 2gating. It takes some enormous balls to do that when 15K is on the line. Plus, white ra scouted an area on the map which players could not spawn in, as that map was fixed to cross positions only. Imagine if his probe had gotten there 1 minute sooner, wouldn't have been quite the walkover, maybe enough time to get a forge up? I loved white ra's play in that series, but MC did take advantage of his lack of an early zealot. Anyone flaming MC is uneducated. Does anyone really think MC was like 'oh yeah i cant handle another game with this guy, i better go all in on a cheese.' | ||

I think you have take his cockiness/over-confidence for what he is trying to extrude them for, objectively they reflect his skills and dominance, and secondly it is part of this showmanship that is aimed at entertaining fans as well as an external and internal conditioning to give himself self-belief as well as a strategic move to perhaps dominate his opponents mentally before the match even starts, just as Artosis always says "the fear of the banshee", in SC2, MC is perpectually trying to impose the "fear of the MC". | ||
