He is doing it to spice things up as a showman. I'm sure he doesn't have anything against Idra. It's great how animated the crowd was... hopefully makes more Koreans come to these events when they see the energy. | ||

maybe you should learn how to spell the word ''loser'' before you claim a person to be one idiot. Maybe instead of attacking someone for a mechanical error, you should instead reply to what he said properly and actually say something. I could be just like you and pick at how you didn't use punctuation, and then call you an idiot. But that doesn't bring a discussion anywhere. | ||

Instead of doing the flip-off, had IdrA been one of the people calling for high fives in the crowd. MC didn't recognize him until that other guy pointed out IdrA, so he easily could have done to MC what Artosis did to him. That would have been hilarious. | ||

Did I miss it, or does the link now only show MC high five'ing his fans and then doing the cut throat gesture? I didn't see Idra in it, and the description is tagged with Idra and MC but the description says "postmatch reaction MC vs Thorzain"... f you're serious, then he is no worse then alot of so called "children's idles". Many sports stars come out with rape charges, drug scandels, bar fights and all sorts, a bird is hardly the worst thing that could come out of a "children's idle" doing something wrong. Side note the link seems to go to a MC Vs ThorZain post-game celebration not the MC/IdrA video, anyone got a new link or has it been taken down? True, and sorry for the typo too much sc ![]() Anyway, in traditional sports, often there is media or public criticism, and it seems (to me at least) that the majority of the response is negative. However in this case, it seems to be that there is more positive response than negative response. Wait, wait, so now a sign that signifies "fuck off" is worse than a sign that signifies "I will kill you/you're dead"... Talk about double standards... If we're to talk about younger generations, neither act is appropriate. True, neither act is "truly" appropriate, but the cut throat signal to me is a lot less... offensive? I think? As in, yeah it's like a death threat, but it's used so much in popular culture that it's "offensiveness" isn't so "offensive", if that makes sense... hope I explained that well? It's used commonly but also usually used in a sort of humorous way... you see it in cartoons, etc. This may differ from culture to culture though of course, but I'm sharing that based on what I've seen where I've lived before. | ||

You do realize that idra is the guy who has called almost every other pro sc2 player, with select few exceptions, bad. The guy who at times seems to be convinced his superior mechanics should automatically win him games, and if they don't the game is flawed. The guy who has more legendary bm quotes than any other player. Don't get me wrong, I really like idras play and for the most part the personality he brings to the scene. However claiming that he would be much less arrogant than mc is just silly. Sure I don't see idra performing ceremonies like mc but that's hardly the only way to express arrogance. | ||

I agree that neither act is appropriate but in the world of sports, thrash talk happens all the time. Who cares if either is less offensive, they both are. The problem is that in most American's eyes, the flip off would be a lot more offensive than the throat-slash. Now I really hope idrA destroys him when they play. He better prepare a nasty build against MC. | ||

They just want to make it fun for the crowd. (a bit one-sided of course but I think it's cuz IdrA doesn't have much experience at getting the crowd hyped) | ||

Getting outplayed and then BMing the person who outplayed you in front of the whole crowd is just idiotic. MC giving cut-throat to Idra meant if he ever gets the rematch he is going down. I don't think he really bmed him, well in sort of way he did but it was more like a crowd pleasing thing. Hope we get Idra on SotG to find out whether he was really offended by MC's action. ![]() | ||

Builds hype. Rivalries and drama just add hype to the game which imo makes it much more exciting. I'm more willing to watch a match between Idra and MC, the two power houses who have a rivalry than Idra and MC, the foreigner and Korean. Agree with you 100% This kind of stuff is perfect for the game. | ||

Personality can only help grow the games tension/excitement. Who else would KILL to see a Idra vs MC rematch? SSOOO many story-lines going on in that. Revenge PvZ Balance Has the meta game shifted to favor Z Will ZvP imbalance cries ever stop If MC was the best player in the world... and idra beat him... what does that mean for the gracken Will we see idra do a throatslashing movement in MC's face if he wins soooo much awsome capable in that final match... hope we get to see it. and i really think people are reading into it WAY more than they should... if you ever played a competitive sport u know that stuff like this happens ALL THE TIME and its not cause "omg he flipped off that guy... he must HATE HIM" or "omg he did a throat slash! THIS MEANS WAR!" lol MC was just pumped and feeding off of the crowd and Greg just waved it off...with 1 finger lol. I am sure these arent personal attacks or "bm" just part of being competitive. did u want to see MC stop and look at idra and shake his hand or something? No way be dramatic do the throat slash give the crowd somethign to roar at. <3'ed it. <3d it. <3d it. Hope to see more stuff like this at tournaments tbh.... as long as it doesnt evolve into crazy out of control fist fights/table smashing wwe style stuff lol | ||

Lol what a joke. It's been confirmed by multiple people that the koreans suffered from huge jet lag. MC met IdrA recently at Dreamhack on completely equal conditions and just crushed him. IdrA was his first match of the day after huge jet lag and about 4 hours of sleep. Losira was almost passing out in his booth, MMA slept two hours inbetween his matches, and Tasteless had to be replaced with JP so he could take a nap in the middle of the casts. MC came later and had it worse than anyone. Ret and Tyler both played lackluster enough that it didn't matter. Call it an excuse all you want, it's verifiable truth. MC never makes excuses for his losses unless they are legitimate, he has always congratulated the other player and said that he will work hard to be better than before. I can't wait until they meet again and every little IdrA fanboy bites his tongue. People act like the player that is 7-1 against Minigun recently just randomly decided to flip a switch and become an unbeatable ZvP killing machine. No excuses anymore if MC loses (btw 2-0 Thorzain in Thorzain's best matchup, and Thorzain 2-0'd IdrA) since the worst of jet lag would have worn off. I hope they meet again in the finals and I will consider it a victory for IdrA if he takes one more game off MC. | ||

I went up to MC to get a picture and he's a very shy guy and reserved, believe it or not. Also Idra's been very good to his fans that come up to him, flashing his nice smile. It's just a show, so just enjoy it. These is so much respect among the player in person, you see all the teams hanging out together talking. I'm just so happy that EVERYONE is playing at a whole another level. If you can attend a future MLG, DO IT | ||

I am so tired of people saying this about MC, NesTea, and all of the GSL winners. MC had a poor BW record because he got put into games before he was ready. He showed a ton of promise but didn't have his mechanics refined enough to really be put into professional games, so he lost horribly. It was a poor decision by the coaches, and MC probably would have had a fairly successful BW career. He probably wouldn't have been the next Bisu, but he would have been pretty good, probably MVP ish. People need to stop giving people less credit than they're due about BW.

Personally i find his PvZ very abusive wih his near perfect sentry use, and his PvT has really not been very tested fully. MMA owned him in team leagues, but that was BO1, and he won against Rain, but Rain is a pushover and I personally feel his play isn't top player material. His entrance to GSL finals was a fluke. PvP he's pretty strong. He's good don't get me wrong, but he's over-cocky and overhyped.To many people put him as the #1 best player. But really i feel its just the band wagon that comes when you win a GSL. I feel currently their is no best player, but alot of good ones. Personally i understand Idra though i don't support his actions.+ Show Spoiler + I still would have probably done the same ![]() | ||

I'm an avid NBA and NFL watcher and every year the men in suits put even more outlandish rules and penalties for players celebrating, taunting, or just being BM in general. I HATE IT, and I'm not sure why some people are in a rush to "clean up" e-sports from a little harmless fun. I also think MC does this to not only play mind games, but to give himself a little bit of an edge. Michael Jordan was notorious for trash talking and starting shit with other players to try and get himself pumped up and give him an angry edge. | ||

At the time a lot of people thought he had potential to be a successful BW player. Nestea was on of the better 2v2 players for KT Rolster. Obviously he's not going to be a stellar 1v1 player when his job was to be good at 2v2. And if he was just some noob he wouldn't be the team captain and zerg coach for KT Rolster for years. MVP was a successful BW pro in his short career. Anyway, back on topic. I think MC's antics only add to the fun of watching starcraft. Do we want a bunch of robots who show no emotion because a few nerds on a forum complain about "manner"? No. The thing that makes these players interesting is their personalities. | ||

Everything is just for fun, there's no reason to think they hate each other. So stop making it seem like that. Haha to MC it's fun, to Idra it certainly isn't. That's why i love him. | ||

Same w/ idra although he takes it a bit more seriously he still is just playing the game because he is passionate about it. maybe it's inappropriate behavior but most of the criticisms are due to people hating Idra/MC and not because they actually find it offensive. ![]() To all the people who thought it was great, I agree ![]() | ||

IdrA's retaliatory bird flipping is obviously not serious, otherwise you'd see some form of anger or contempt on his face. He's just doing it cuz MC called him out, my bet is that this was going through IdrA's mind 'oh shit, how do i answer? ah man, MC so annoying, fuck it, i'll just flip him off, tried and true" | ||

5. No excessive taunting or celebration by Coaches or Players. Excessive taunting or celebration includes, but is not limited to, post-Match taunting or celebration directed at or referencing an opposing Player(s) and/or Coach. Post-Match interactions between opposing Players and Coaches must be limited to acts of sportsmanship. That'd be funny if they gave MC a technical foul. His actions kind of warrant it but I know no one cares and definitely MLG does not want to piss the Korean community off by giving MC a t.f. Another rule that's funny is that you can get a game penalty where you aren't allowed to build a certain unit decided by the opposing player besides workers, zlot, ling, rine, ovies, and queens. | ||

They ended up coming back to win which was disgusting. MLG almost never institutes fouls unless its actually going to upset their audience. | ||

Doing the throat slash sign is extremely offensive and can be interpreted as a threat to the physical integrity of who it was directed too.

Haye: You're going down brosef. Klitschko: Fuck you! Yeah. That's not how it works. Not even in boxing. In most sports Idra would have received some kind of punishment for his behaviour, while MC's would be recognised as showmanship. Giving the finger seems to be idra's standard response to everything. How boring. You would've thought he learned new tricks after Huk. | ||

It's childish and unnecessary. When July, a living legend, can show sportsmanship, respect and humility in his interview comments after smashing Kiwi, it's just sad to see these kids (in comparison) that don't have a tenth of his accomplishments trying to look badass. It's about dignity, class and self-respect (or lack thereof, in case of MC, Idra, Major and the rest of the "badass" crew). This is why you won't see somebody like Boxer or most true Starcraft legends behaving like that. | ||

MC said it himself in the interview with Hot_bid, he sees themselves as wrestlers, he loves adding some hype, controversy, rivalry and charisma to the scene. Its all to entertain us (the crowd). Thats why people either hate or love him. Its exactly the same with IdrA, i think its nice he sometimes spices things up with his BM and interviews. I get the idea people think he really wants to decapitate him lol. Its a bit similar to last MLG with Huk and IdrA and than some weeks later just hang out at dreamhack. | ||

I mean come on, it is just a huge show he puts on every time and you know what? It is damn right he does so. Even though I don't feel much love for Idra he never fails to amuse me - be it through his gaming skills or his BM. But besides: I have never seen MC leave a game without gging or something like that. Furthermore I believe that his overconfident acting towards his opponents is also meant to intimidate them. What did Jose Mourinho, coach of Real Madrid, say about psychology in sports? "The game starts already at the first press conference." That being said, you can be a nice guy and stick to the game or you can do stuff out of the game to confuse/intimidate or make your opponent get angry. Thanks to Idra and MC for such a great spectacle. Hell, gotta love MCs interaction with the crowd, he is definetely a fan favourite for a reason! | ||

People complaining should just chill out for now. It's not like this is a physical sport; if you threaten someone in football or rugby, it's entirely in the realm of possibility that you can actually make those threats a reality, by injuring your opponent on purpose. That's probably not going to happen in esports. So I see no reason why we should worry about it. | ||

This is the definition of hurting the scene Eh, saying he's hurting the scene is a bit far, people are entitled to their opinions and not everyone is going to agree on the same thing simply because of how they generally think people SHOULD act opposed to how they actually do. MC and IdrA both act in their own ways and people either love it or hate it, personally I find some of their antics entertaining and other parts not so much. At the end of the day they're both great players and while they have success and the spotlight remains on them they'll continue to do things like that and get reactions from the fans. | ||

This is the definition of hurting the scene I don't think MC did anything disrespectful at all, he just made it clear that he was going to take out Idra if they faced each other again and it was playing up to the crowd. You could see this kind of thing all the time in BW from your "idols". Idras response could however be construed as disrespectful, but I guess it is just the same thing in typical western/Idra style and nothing was meant by it. I should add: Anyone who can't see the fun in it and is actually bothered by this should really get a grip of their lifes. | ||

we now know IdrA's greatest rival. Its not Morrow, or Tyler, or even HuK. Its not MC, despite their gestures at each other. No, IdrA's greatest rival is...IdrA I watch a TON of sports, and a TON of SC2, and I have never seen a player consistently beat themselves the way IdrA does. Not wanting to draw out games is one thing, somewhat early gg timing is something else... and then there's GGing when you've won the fucking game. Not once, but multiple times. What. The. Fuck. Are there e-sports psychologists? Because there should be. Greg Fields' defeatist outlook is holding him back from being all he could be. Did you hear the cheering for IdrA at that MLG crowd? People LOVE this guy. They are BEGGING him to step up and realize his potential. For all that people talk up Nestea and Losira, IdrA has the mechanics and skill to go toe to toe with them. The ONLY thing that is preventing him from being the best Zerg in the world, is IdrA. Blizzard can patch out imbalances. They can't patch out mental weakness. IdrA needs to stop worrying about what other people are doing, and take a good look at himself and his own mental outlook. If you think like a loser, you will lose, and IdrA right now has the worst goddamn loser mentality I've ever seen. | ||

The guy made more money in the last 2 months than you and your entire family most likely made in the last 2 years, I don't think some child on a message board calling him a "nerdy looking kid" bothers him either. I also think it entitles him to have a little fun and act cocky now and again (he doesn't do it every game). Lighten up and stop being such a killjoy, it is entertaining as hell and obviously not meant to be taken seriously. | ||
