Its just that (judging by streams and pictures) Mc seems kinda isolated from the other players. I don't know however how the atmosphere is there in real life (since I'm not there) and I don't know how Mc behaves towards the other players. In that sense I'm biased myself and since I'm really not trying to diss anyone, I'll refer myself from giving further comments about this. The event is great and everyone who organized/participated in it did an amazing job! If you don't know so many things, then why bother posting like that at all? This is Europe and we don't want MC to win all our tournaments. We obviously cheer against him. Outside of the game everyone is friendly to him, don't worry. | ||

Well if you didn't want me to answer that you would have removed it. Because micro is only one factor? You need very little macro in order to pull off a 4 gate... | ||

You need very little macro in order to pull off a 4 gate... Well then i think you should play a mouse accuracy game for a year and ull be just as good as the pros?... They are making lots of very small decision that are winning the game, Ex: when to build sentries, when to be defensive, when to try to attack, when to pull back, what to focus, where to place proxy pylons, when to keep pressuring (last game mc vs huk) and the restictions that result on your opponent, if they can possibly sneak an additional probe or two, or late game like when huk used his position to cut off long range mining... honestly man, 4 gate battles may be limited compared to a normal sc2 game because both players are limited, but that just makes it that much more difficult to be good at it. | ||

I just said that micro is only one factor. From that alone you can tell that my opinion is you need more than one factor to have a true test of skill. Whatever we've exchanged opinions let it rest  | ||

I think that is an incredibly blunt and uninformed opinion. Micro determines the fights, but everything leading up to it, how you capitalize, the decisions you make, they all play such a huge factor in PvP. People love calling PvP a coin flip, but it certainly isn't. It is just very hard. You can see it already, the better and better players get the less and less they shrug off "PvP" as a "w.e", because there is method to all this madness | ||

Eh, he did a song that is pretty much THE beatbox song. Then did a bad starwars deal, lol. But he had the balls to do that in front of 26 thousand people, pretty awesome for that I guess. | ||
