yeah dude for sure
MC is hilariously and unreasonably cocky


I think he has plenty of reason

Rather it's a problem that so many people seem to want to discuss the title rather than watch the interview and discuss the content of the interview. It's equivalent to someone debating the title of a book at a reading group rather than actually reading the book.



the thing is korean to english translations are never perfect, so in english things that sound like aggressive (MVP has been dodging me) is actually relatively kinda nonchalant passive words in korean. He really is saying something more along the lines of "we have always been across from eachother/not meeting eachother in brackets so its strange"

the fun part is, that although he may be very cocky but he also is mostly right :p this guy really has such a deep understanding of the game, his own skill, and the skill of other players. always fun to watch.

Yeah just because a translator can speak fluent korean doesn't necessarily mean they can translate everything perfectly into the english counterpart.

But enough of that, thanks for the interview! I really enjoy seeing what different koreans have to say

yeah he didn't give any reasons like the OP suggested :/.

Haha was thinking about it and I guess it goes with being rank 1 in the world. You got to be cocky to mantain yourself as king. Soon as you start thinking you're not the best, you lose. Nice interview. Not very informative, but a good laugh.

Yeah. I didn't get anything from this interview. The MVP comment was intended differently than you first think when you read the OP, the Z comment is substantiated with.. nothing, European Ts are good and micro is important. Meh. Can't help but feel it's a little too cut up, 2 parts would probably have offered just that more actual content, but it could just be me.

Sneaky White-Ra though, that made me chuckle admittedly.

I got the impression he is probably making fun of all the QQ. He even kinda smirked when he said that, dunno he may have good reasons though and I am just being stupid.

No he doesn't. He'd certainly good, but he's not really the type of player that's going to stand the test of time (as we've started to see). He has awesome micro and in the early stages of the development of SC2, he did quite well because no one knew any optimal strategies. As time goes on and the games becomes more refined, his macro/refinement/decision making will pull him down while more talanted mechanical players will rise to the top. Also, people are falling for protoss all-ins less and less, which was a big part of his success.

To be fair, when all protoss were whining ( after 0 protoss in top 4 of first 2 GSL), and protoss were dying to range 4 roaches and Terran timing pushes, MC said that Protoss were actually very strong and they are failing because they haven't discovered the correct response.

MC also said that obviously he's not gonna tell the world what it is because it is to his advantage that other people have not caught on and as a progamer, he'll hide what he knows for as long as possible.

Then of course MC proved his point and went on a tear to win gsl 3 beating Terrans left and right. Soon after, we see Protoss take over Pvt and PvZ just like MC had predicted.

So, racial bias aside, MC has been known to make statements like this and back it up.

MVP's worse MU is TvP, it's why he is in Code A

MC's worst is PvT

what are you basing this off of? at the same time he started "losing" he won copenhagen easily with some of the best euro players in the world and I think everyone would agree that after the thorzain series MC has some of the best macro/late game army control of any protoss
