Footage of MC coming out of his booth, pointing at IdrA, giving him the throat-slash, and IdrA returning the favor by flipping him off:

God I hope MC gets smashed by Idra again. I really dislike his arrogant behavior.
The chair slowly turns around. You see his face, but it can't be. He's not supposed to be here. Not him. Not a Protoss. Not THAT Protoss. MC says, "Hi Greg, long time no see." You back slowly out of the booth. But you can't. It's already forcefielded.

How could anyone hate this? The crowd loves it, MC loves it too and Idra's GF sitting next to him was enjoying it. Some people just need to lighten up, its all in fun competition.

I'm not a fan of Idra, but I love things like that. Doesn't even show emotion or anything, barely looks at him, just flips him off.

But damn, MC is a bloody rock god.

@ 36 seconds, Idra is sitting on the floor in front.



LoL @ the very end it stays on a screen of a guy whose sign reads "IKEA sponsor mlg" with a picture of a chair.

It's at like 35 seconds, he points at Idra (who is at the bottom of the screen) and Idra flips him off. Idra is really dark so it's kinda hard to see, but watch it a few times and you'll see it.

I think idra missed a brilliant opportunity. I didn't watch the video, but I don't think giving him the finger is the best response. I think further aggravating him when he's already angry AKA trolling him is the best route to go. That way your opponent feels even more frustrated and angry, while you have fun at the expense of his misery. Idra should of made a stupid face, came really close to the glass and started humping the wall/making monkey noises while smiling and flailing his arms around.

That way MC would of been even angrier, and idra would of had the worlds biggest smile.

This is why you watch the video, it was after MC beat Thorzain, Idra was just sitting on the floor with the crowd.

It would be a nice ending to MLG I think. By the change in Idra's play I don't see him losing if they play again either, the way he played vs him before was crazy. Can't wait to get those reps because I couldn't tell how he got so far ahead and just kept coming at him.

Why are there no posers in starcraft, like Usain Bolt?

The only one I have seen that have done good poses is m00nGlaDe

Pretty pathetic on MC's part since he got destroyed by IdrA. In this situation, I would say that IdrA's flip off is justified. Despite being a die-hard Protoss player, if I ever see IdrA go against MC again I'm cheering for IdrA.

lol @ people getting salty regarding MC's behavior.

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.

Part of me thinks this is MC having a good time. He must have known he would have gotten a reaction out of the crowd by doing that. He's laying the pavement for some epic story lines if he continues to make the trip out to foreign tournaments.

This is nothing but another great rivalry in my opinion.

Totally agree with this, I've seen some pictures of this MLG where you see IdrA and MC chillin' together..

It's all part of his act, high-fiving the crowd, the taunts, etc. If you cannot see this you're probably another of Idra's mindless drones.

Meh, not too ironic. Its much different for MC.. for proof, try to imagine IdrA doing that ceremony. It just wouldn't happen. IdrA's bm is almost entirely responsive to other people... he doesn't actively act really cocky all the time.. hes actually pretty quiet....

Edit: also, maybe they both feel comfortable doing it because they kinda know each other? There's a photo floating around from yesterday with Incontrol in the foreground, and Idra and MC chatting amiably in the background.

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.

Holy shit - that would have been EPIC !! 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.

If 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?

We'll if hes loosening games then he deserves such BM...


but in all seriousness, Idra usually wont say that out of a void. either you are ignoring the chat at the beginning of the game or there is a history between the players that you don't know about.

But seriously those games were so loose....

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.

Gotta love MC, I think it's awesome how into it he gets. That video made him look like a real sports star to me and made the crowd look like a real sports crowd. Very cool. I'm also really proud of how much the fans are cheering him on. I hope more koreans come to NA because of the amazing reception these guys have been given.

This was after his win against Thorzain. He went into the crowd for high-fives, and he taunted Idra with that throat slash.

Edit:

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.

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'm surprised we didn't see a fight club right there. If I was in idrA's position, I'd probably throw a punch to MC for doing that.

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.

Guys chill the fck out. MC has said in interviews over and over again that his cockiness and offensive gestures are just for show, to add some drama and excitement to esports. Idra the same, nice person in real life. these two dont really hate each other, its all on-screen drama.

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.



When asked 'what do you think of this player?' idra responds what he truthfully thinks, hes not showboating all the time.. I'm not saying idra isn't BM I'm saying its not ironic calling MC arrogant coming from an Idra fan....


It doesn't really matter if it is what he truthfully thinks his replies are still arrogant. And I think saying you dislike someone because of his arrogance and then cheering for someone equally arrogant falls pretty nicely under irony.

Oh my, the irony



Meh, not too ironic. Its much different for MC.. for proof, try to imagine IdrA doing that ceremony. It just wouldn't happen. IdrA's bm is almost entirely responsive to other people... he doesn't actively act really cocky all the time.. hes actually pretty quiet....


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.

If idra's responses must fall under the umbrella of arrogance, so be it, but even so, not all arrogance is the same. which was my whole point anyway. they are different.

usually I like to see a person like MC being taken down a peg. But in light of the person he bm'ed is Idra. I really want to see Idra taken down a peg, his imbalance whining and constant belittling of other players really ticks me off sometimes.

so here is me hoping MC takes down Idra 2-0

responsive to other ppl? have u seen his stream? soon as he looses a game he will not hesitate to say "go kill urself" to whoever he looses to lol



We'll if hes loosening games then he deserves such BM...


but in all seriousness, Idra usually wont say that out of a void. either you are ignoring the chat at the beginning of the game or there is a history between the players that you don't know about.

But seriously those games were so loose....


uh he says that to random ladder players to. ESPECIALLY when he looses to a mid ranked master player.... he rages extra hard then.

I honestly can't get over how you can read a post trolling yourself for idiotically spelling lose incorrectly and then spell lose incorrectly in response. this is just silly!

also I said usually. not by accident either, i intended it.

if i was in idra's shoes i would have done the exact same thing, idk how you can hate on him. what is he supposed to do, just sit there?

it's really funny that MC is so cocky towards idra especially after getting 2-0d in a convincing fashion - maybe he has something planned to return the favor

Guys chill the fck out. MC has said in interviews over and over again that his cockiness and offensive gestures are just for show, to add some drama and excitement to esports. Idra the same, nice person in real life. these two dont really hate each other, its all on-screen drama.


Everyone should read this. They both acknowledge each other's skill. 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)

Well in his eyes it wasn't a legitimate win because MC was in bad shape.

Saying he was in bad shape is ridiculous.He won what, 4 games after his idra loss? he was playing near his best and thus lost because idra outplayed him. 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.

I agree with you and him.

this kind of stuff adds personality to 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

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.

QFT... This is more of exactly what this game needs

He already did 2-0. MC has no right to BM idra after he got smashed.. just makes him look like an idiot.


You realize Idra got destroyed last time? Let's see how well he will do in even conditions.


Of course MC would say "I wasn't in best condition when lost to idra, i was in good conditio nwhen i beat everyone else" Are you really going to believe that? He was in as good of a condition as he's going to be when he got 2-0d by idra, it was still a stupid move to do that BM to idra AFTER getting smashed by him and playing it off as "oh i was in bad condition" Either way Idra is gonna own MC when they meet again in the finals.

It's also funny that she seems to miss the Idra flip-off completely because she's doubled over.

I don't know that I would necessarily call this BM, in fact It's kind of ridiculous to see this little nerdy guy acting so tough lol. And I can't fault Idra, he really has been on his best behavior this whole tournament, and MC was really asking for it.

Still though, if they meet up again I hope Idra roflcopter stomps him like no one has ever been roflcopter stomped before

These things happened in BW all the time. Taunting in ceremonies is a part of competition. Its normally meant to be entertainment rather than BM.

Exactly this.

It is very obvious that MC knows exactly how the entertainment industry works. By putting on some shows on top of his game skills, he is able to accumulate quite a bit of star power.

There is no way you can deny his star power just by look at the crowd's reaction. He made the choice by gaving something back to the crowd, with some high fives and a little drama. :p

We all know esport as a career is very brutal, but MC is smart enough to start paving the extra miles of road shall he fall. As shown that in the real world, sponsors are looking for players with huge fan base, it isn't totally about the skills. However MC still got quite a bit of achivements to earn before he get that status.

I'm pretty sure I don't need to name the list of players that already past its prime time, but still living comfortably due to the fan base it has.

Not to mention alot of players got to where it is by simply creating drama, Idra being one of them. You'd hear his name alot less if this wasn't true.

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 dont think it matters, Idra and MC are both pretty cocky and arrogant, but thats because they are in sc2 and finally get to be pretty decent. Once people like jaedong and flash come over to sc2 idra and mc will be back to being in the mid tier as the BW pros crush everyone.

That is absolutely right. I mean, even here, the gesture looked like something kinda playful, more than anything, Anyway, people like to overthink the whole issue i guess

What's with everyone jumping on both MC and Idra? As mentioned by another member, that was mostly to add drama, etc.... I doubt MC is as arrogant IRL, but, he has to put on a good show. All I know is, after that, I became a fan XD Gotta love both MC and idra for their personalities

Well it works, both Idra and MC are two of my favorite players not just for their sick skills but both players seem to show a lot of emotion and personality whenever they're playing. Personally I think MC is a total boss coming out and giving the crowd hi-fives like that.

Don't read into it too much guys... I don't *really* think they actually hate each other, it's a show for the crowd.

I'm at Columbus and I can tell you for a fact that's it's all for show. The live crowd is such an amazing experience especially with MC/July fist pumping and show boating. It's all for the fans and to get such a reaction.

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.

On topic: I have never been so excited for a rematch. This is going to be incredible.

I think IdrA just really hates MC.

It's entertaining for us that's for sure though! It makes any possible MC versus IdrA sets that much more intense. I just love how chill IdrA was when he flipped him off, such a baller

If you guys have read an interview of MC he does his ceremonies for the sake of doing them. He is just making things exciting and causing drama and I doubt he does it to intentionally piss Idra off.

MC calling Idra out was rather rude, but the middle finger is a bit much as a response and it would be better if Idra just stomps MC and let his game speak for him.

I'm really excited to see more of this match up in the future. I've only seen them at dreamhack/mlg (have there been other matches?), but all of the games have seemed exciting and shown similar skills from both sides (besides the idra 6 pool). Pretty much all idra-protoss rivalries are interesting, but this could end up as one of my favorites.

IdrA needs to work on his counter ceremonies. The bird is a timeless classic, but it's time for him to step it up here. This situation called for a crotch chop at a bare minimum

I think idra just sees MC as an overhyped and over cocky player. Yeah he's good, and he won gsl twice. But really he's not that unbeatable as recent results show.

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

mc's general cockiness was entertaining at first and its definitely won him a lot of fans but for me it's getting kind of annoying and overblown. it has the potential to generate a lot of drama/rivalry and that's great for e-sports and whatever, but on a personal level i don't really like the guy or his attitude and it kind of pleases me to see idra coolly dismissing him with the middle finger like that.

Some of you are reading way too much into this. I SERIOUSLY doubt Idra dislikes MC personally and vice versa. Plus flipping someone off is not the end of the world. Yeah its not very professional but ffs I'm glad its not professional.

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.

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 don't think we put him as #1 player on the world. But we put him as the best Protoss in the world. I think he's better than Nani a bit.

Pretty funny cuz MC was like "gg wp" and completely manner when IdrA was roflstomping his face 2-0. And now he's throat slashing him? ^^

I hope IdrA smashes him in a re match and then throat slashes towards him.

I think IdrA just really hates MC.

It's entertaining for us that's for sure though! It makes any possible MC versus IdrA sets that much more intense. I just love how chill IdrA was when he flipped him off, such a baller

What the heck?
That is the silliest comment I've seen in a while.
He doesn't hate MC, it's a game man. He's just playing along with the competitive banter. Just because you flip someone off doesn't mean you have some grudge against the guy. Geeze, that's an overstatement if ever there was one.

Funny how people are making a big deal about this. Idra doesn't hate mc, the 2 are friends. Idk how people could take something like this so seriously, it's just for fun. there's no grudge, no drama, no nothing. Yet people are trying to create anti fan clubs and stir shit up.

According to someone named Idra that's not true, considering he thinks that he's the best toss in the world and everything.

Everyone needs to chill (GET OUT) the fuck out and enjoy the ceremony.

The throat slash is all in good fun, the flip-off is just childish in my opinion. IdrA should have retorted with the White-Ra point and double thumbs down. THAT would have been epic.

I dont think it matters, Idra and MC are both pretty cocky and arrogant, but thats because they are in sc2 and finally get to be pretty decent. Once people like jaedong and flash come over to sc2 idra and mc will be back to being in the mid tier as the BW pros crush everyone.


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.

On topic: I have never been so excited for a rematch. This is going to be incredible.


I am tired of it too because all they are doing is regurgitating what was already said in that article. They should try thinking for themselves for a change. All the GSL champs were good BW pros.

Fruitdealer was a very talented up and comer for estro when he had to quit because his dad got sick. 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.

LOL the SC2 community sure loves drama. and really? The finger is now considered a good or witty response?

God, as much as I love the scene (and I don't mind BM) the fact is that people are racting to this as if they were freaking 12 years old.

Oh sorry, forgot Idra doesn't have friends, oh wait..
Quit making drama out of this. It's so annoying when idra fanboys immediately use these situations to glorify his "badassness" or to create bitter rivalries.

Everything is just for fun, there's no reason to think they hate each other. So stop making it seem like that.

I guess I could see how this would affect some people's views of the players or the event, but in all seriousness, MC is well known to do displays or taunts after winning a game, and calling people out. As the poster above has screen-shotted for us it can be seen he did something similar to TT1, and its far from the only example. MC just wants to create a persona for the fans/audience, and he does it well as an over-confident, flat out cocky player, but who often backs up that cockiness with results. IdrA is similarly cocky, but unlike MC, he is fully serious about that as being who is (in fact, it IS who he is), MC is simply joking. This is why IdrA flipped-off MC because IdrA is taking MC's taunt 100% seriously/personally, but again that's who IdrA is. I say everyone's reading too much into this. Oh and finally go both MC and IdrA! I like both their play, hope to see them in late Champs Round in MLG.

Makes perfect sense. I'm in no way anti idra, I love his play and am a huge fan, I just don't like his fanboys (wait..I'm a fan too though) who take every opportunity to glorify him in whatever aspect they can (particularly his personality).

MC isn't being malicious, which is the most important part, are you guys seriously giving someone crap who is just playing a game and wanting to have FUN with it?

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

MC has loads of respect for IdrA, otherwise he wouldn't call him out like that. IdrA is a threat to him winning, because MC feels IdrA is good enough to knock him out.

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"

MLG Technical Foul Rules
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.

If you play anything other than zerg, IdrA automatically considers you a rival.

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 have almost never done this. There was one halo player who is a huge douchebag that got two fouls and had to sit out 1 entire minute of a game which was a shitload of time. They ended up coming back to win which was disgusting. MLG almost never institutes fouls unless its actually going to upset their audience.

IdrA should have made 2-0 with his hands.

I rly think Idra shouldnt have done that.. Iknow its Idra but still he became much more mannered recently and this just feels under his level even for him..

Funny how people are making a big deal about this. Idra doesn't hate mc, the 2 are friends. Idk how people could take something like this so seriously, it's just for fun. there's no grudge, no drama, no nothing. Yet people are trying to create anti fan clubs and stir shit up.

Pretty sure that's a complete lie.


Oh sorry, forgot Idra doesn't have friends, oh wait..
Quit making drama out of this. It's so annoying when idra fanboys immediately use these situations to glorify his "badassness" or to create bitter rivalries.

Everything is just for fun, there's no reason to think they hate each other. So stop making it seem like that.


WTF? What a strange post to call someone an IdrA fanboy over... it doesn't even make sense to call someone a fanboy for that...


Makes perfect sense. I'm in no way anti idra, I love his play and am a huge fan, I just don't like his fanboys (wait..I'm a fan too though) who take every opportunity to glorify him in whatever aspect they can (particularly his personality).

There's something wrong with you. Please get it fixed. You say the two are friends, I call you out on it and you say I'm a fanboy? Make sense next time, k?

P.S. "No nothing" = double negative. So did you really mean there's something? :O

Yeah, I was just reading about that weird rule. I think it would be hilarious if some gamer pushed their limits just to see them enforce that for once. I think it would funny if someone got this penalty and still won the match.

There's a huge difference between tauting someone for some fake drama and just giving someone the finger. Idra could have done many different things that would have been awesome but giving the finger feels like the most juvenile thing to do.

A brush of his shoulder, overdramatised yawn, thumbs down or anything beside just the gesture version of "fuck you".

I hope Idra wins against MC again, MC is the biggest asshole in SC2.
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.

Besides MC is not the same he was, i think he is extremely overrated at the moment.

If you look at the last 2 GSLs, Ro32 May and Ro64 Super tournament.

Giving someone the finger stands for "fuck", which as we all know, is a terrible word and you have to wash your mouth with soap if you ever say it.

How can you say that Idra is returning "BM" with "BM"? MC's little taunt is showmanship and entertaining. Idra's response is unimaginative and only shows a lack of respect. Can you imagine

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.

MC put up a great show. For an instant, E-sports looked like a real sport with fans cheering and going wild. MC really built the hype. Idra needs to come back with something better than a finger. Making a 2 - 0 with his hands would have been way better.

MC should be careful not to exceed the limit. I think IdrA's reaction was just fine, MC's throat-slash was ridiculous. Fun and excitement is good but MC leads this whole stuff into the wrong direction.

Thats why I hope he gets destroyed by IdrA. Im officially an anti MC fan. I should call him Flounder though, that name fits him better

Why does even people like MC? Can anyone tell me that? I hope Idra crushes him so hard that he shits his pants. MC shows no respect and get no respect from me. And I wish koreans had to play through the open bracket. Every time I see korean play I switch over the the other stream. Damn right boring to watch.

People love MC because he is the Boss Toss. MC shows 100x more respect than Idra, MC gave Idra a 'gg wp' after their first set, I'm pretty sure Idra would have left without a gg had the Hatchery died the second set. The second part of your post makes it obvious you just hate Koreans...

Quite clearly Idra suggested that he wanted to have sex with MC. Yes we live in the land of literals. MC can receive jail time for making a threat on Idra's life ....

Sometimes Idra fanbois' logic scares me.

Idra should've had a better comeback, flipping him off when MC had already turned his back wasn't very good. Still kinda funny.


Yep, MC was brave enough to stand his pose for a whole ½ a second before running back to the booth! Damn IdrA react faster.

Shame MC cant touch IdrA gamewise now though.

Except their series was suuuuper close...


Yeah, and if they play again and IdrA has a 2 game lead?

MC does not stand a chance.

lol its all in the name of fun. I can't believe some people are actually sensitive about it.

Really guys? its just a throat slash with a flip off. It's not like they went to the other booth and started smashing the other guys keyboards or something.

Oh no, not the fa- Keyboard!

Smashing MC's keyboard rather then MC's face is preferable considering idra has been working out.

haha it's good fun seeing the nerds trying to diss eachother, a bit of rivalry only makes it more enjoyable to watch. Almost none of the gamers have any character so it's good to see at least some. I'd rather see some slightly bad mannered players then overly nice boring ones.

Actually he didn't. Not in the open bracket. He 2-0'd everyone he played (except Catz because that match didn't happen). He didn't lose a game until pool play after he stomped his way through the open bracket.

Meh, it's becoming tiresome to reply to these threads, but it's so irritating that they always get this much attention that I just can't help it.

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.

i have no idea how anyone can like idra and not mc unless its a racial bias (either racial irl or zerg race). if you like idra you shouldent have a problem with ANYONES bm because hes the worst.

i personally like both because their colorful characters that make the pro scene more interesting. the main difference is that mc does ceremonies when he wins but doesnt bm anyone and idra doesnt do ceremonies he just straight up talks shit.

Thorzain had jetlag and was tired from playing all games from openbracket so i don't find it surprising he lost to MC.
MC just jetlag.
Idra had no problems.

So the guy that should improve the most on sunday is thorzain.
MC should improve a little bit.
Idra should play similar.

IMO the winners will be either thorzain, naniwa or MMA.

I find it insane that so many people take this seriously and can think of this as a negative thing... Idra doesnt really care, but MC certainly only wants to please the crowd, he probably also gets confidence and focus from it... He's pleasing the crowd, all in good humor.
He doesnt really do anything disrespectful... People can argue that f ex Incontrol or Huk is much worse for talking ingame.

There is always a lot of talk about people wanting esports to be more like a mainstream sport, and mainstream sports don't put up with this kind of behavior. 5 minutes of google returns results from the NHL, NFL, NBA, and even rugby.

They're trying to look badass to entertain the crowd then, it makes no difference to my point whatsoever.

It's still degrading for a progamer and competitor to act like an entertainer, especially out of the game, especially when it involves being obnoxious and disrespectful (regardless of whether the sentiment is real or not).

Who do you think you are to dictate what is or is not good for the sport, or how the pros should or should not behave?

A large majority of the people who enjoy the entire e-sports scene, enjoyed this little debacle. Why on earth do you think you'd get to take that away from them? E-sports success' depends on the people watching it, and if you'd like to alienate a large majority of the fans, then I'd like to congratulate you on killing the entire scene. In the name of "manner", you'd ruin fun.

I found MC's "boss" acting to be really awkward. Only in e-sports can nerdy looking guy like MC do it and get the crowd cheers.

Those cases are absurd and are great examples of politically correctness gone very wrong.

I doubt you could find an example outside of any former colony of England. The rest of Europe, for example, aren't as soft skinned and wouldn't take offence to such an act.

Why people always compare SC2/ESports to NHL, NFL or NBA.
To me just the fact that MC can do a throat cut move and IdrA can respond to it by giving him the finger makes Esports better and much more fun to watch than these traditional sports.

People take manners way too seriously. People who don't follow esports do so because they're not interested in it. Not because someone flipped another guy the bird.

I can't understand how some people find this as bad manner.. It ain't even harsh or anything, just a show for the masses.. Idra have said again and again in interviews and shows like SotG that it is all for show.

It helps break down the barrier between the players and he spectators because they show some humane side of themselves.

What a bunch of whiners, way to take things way to serious!

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 find such stuff hilariously entertaining - especially MC is awesome. I think he wouldn't have so many fans without his cockyness.

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!

They are progamers, and entertainers.

I was entertained by their antics. Quite amusing, and everyone wins. MLG gets a lot more viewers streaming Idra, and Idra's sponsors get more airtime.

MC used to do this all the time in brood war, I see no reason as to why he wouldn't do it now. I mean, who didn't laugh their asses off when he punched his opponents booth in GSTL, and proceeded to lose the game afterwards?

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.

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.


They're not trying to look badass, they're trying to entertain the fans and succeeding.


They're trying to look badass to entertain the crowd then, it makes no difference to my point whatsoever.

It's still degrading for a progamer and competitor to act like an entertainer, especially out of the game, especially when it involves being obnoxious and disrespectful (regardless of whether the sentiment is real or not).

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.

I lol at the idiots complaining about this. They are the same people who complain about everything and are the scourge of the sc2 scene.

Its rivalry, happens in all sports. Get over it.

There were already 100 pages of silliness yesterday... The future of Esports is at stake! Idra flipped someone off!

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.

back to the topic, MC didnt mean it really, or it was just his gesture to say: Imma pwn you. That's all. And we know Idra already, no need to comment on that

Never get what someone means by "hurting esports" but as far as MC goes I mean he's still young and is a kid so if I was a kid and being cheered I'd probably be ballsy as well, I doubt he's ever gotten a cheer like that except at GSL finals so its to be expected. I don't think giving someone the finger hurts anything either and if someone brought there kid there and that "hurt" them in some way I'd be amazed since average television contains far worse things every second. I personally don't like the arrogance from MC and I would have flipped him off too lol.

They should probably watch WWE or something...

OK seriously? I don't like progamers that play their games, go out and bow and then sit down and shut up until they're on again. I wan't some personality, someone to love, someone to hate. I want the games between rivals to be personal. As far as I'm concerned, this exchange between MC and Idra only made e-sports more interesting.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

Here's my worthless opinion.

MC doesn't get that he's nothing but a gross little nerd enjoying his fourteenth minute. It's hilarious to watch. Idra's at least got some damn perspective.

I will say I love the BM/drama, though. Way more interesting than a couple of gentlemanly chaps sitting down for a spot of tea and a friendly game of chess, what ho!

honestly MCs gesture may be aggressive - but it was totally ok, since it ment nothing but "war is on" IdrA showing the Finger only shows bad manners and nothing more. He could have played it way more sovereign (act cool and ignore it or just return the gesture). Anyways the drama isn`t that big as some may see it.

What?

Throat slashing is just as BM/disrespectful as giving the finger. Still, Idra doesn't have to worry about anyone who wears a plastic jacket. The drama is fun though, adds intensity to the match.

Wow have some respect. You're posting on a starcraft board, and you're trash talking one of the most accomplished protoss players yet. Just because he was a flounder in BW doesn't mean that his accomplishments are any less impressive in SC2. God, people these days.

IdrA just didn't expect that and flipping off came as a natural reaction it seems. not sure why praises/disses should be tossed around. it's not like he put a lot of time and thought into the reaction.

i think its hilarious and it would make a MC vs. Idra finals extremly intense. i feel like the fanboyism is a bit out of controle here. on the other hand i guess its a good thing people get very emotional. thats the point in rooting for someone and being a fan, right? but theres a very thin line between passion and being an complete idiot :o)

i remember in the first match of MLG there was this guy in the crowd standing up and screaming USA - USA - USA... i was like wtf this WCG!?! and idra definitly is this good because he did not lived in the USA for the past few years lol.. so thats an example of passion taking over your brain making you look dumb.

You can't compare FBH to these players. FBH has a charm to his personality. MC is just insecure and Idra simply has a short temper.

[MLG Day3 spoilers]


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.

I 1000% agree with everything here. I'm really sad whenever I see IdrA kill himself. Everyone wants him to perform well . . .

I used to think this was kind of funny. But MCs taunting is getting embarassing. It's clearly gone over the line of fun to rude and unpleasant. It's just not sportsmanship to be a bad winner.

actually MC has been really mannered towards his opponents, such as naniwa or moon clearly he wants to bring up a rivalry with Idra.

when idra pubblicy insults huk he's just cool, when MC does it its bad sportsmanship..."ok"

Well, sadly MC showed again that his behavior is justified.

Seems like I have to keep studying his Replays.
The chair slowly turns around. You see his face, but it can't be. He's not supposed to be here. Not him. Not a Protoss. Not THAT Protoss. MC says, "Hi Greg, long time no see." You back slowly out of the booth. But you can't. It's already forcefielded.

why are so many people failing to see idra or what happens. Once MC high fives the crowd, he has his back to the camera and slits his throat to idra. As MC walks away idra gives him the middle finger

Sorry didn't see the throat slash. Too busy looking at MC's ridiculous looking sweatpants. He has bright white shoes on and everything else is dark black. Looks so silly. Any threat from a guy wearing those clothes would make me giggle like a girl.

What are you suggesting? He needs to look like a serial killer or sicko for his taunts to be believable? Perhaps you have no idea that these throat slash action aren't meant to be real? :p

You sound like a complete tool.

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.

someone needs to tell you hes a badass, ya i could work him in a scrap, but thats not the point these rivalries and competition makes it interesting, MC is badass man, maybe not tough but he's pimping korean broads and making skrills, nothing but respect for him, he lives a comfortable life doing something he loves and he has lots of woman to love............ thats badass

MC don't need to be tough, he's won enough tourneys to be in a position where can pay guys to be tough for him while gesturing throat slashes at his enemies.

to be fair mc was playing really risky with the nexus first and 1 gate fe, which as huk stated is countered by a 2 rax with like 3-5 scvs pulled.

rivalry would mean that these 2 are equal.
I would never say that idra is equal to MC just b/c he took 2 lucky games off him at the beginning of the tournament.

MC is worlds ahead of idra both in mental fortitude and mechanical skill

Love the drama! This is very good for e-sports! I don't see, personally, how anyone thinks this can be bad for e-sports when it's a fact that people love a bit of harmless drama. This is just a perfectly normal part of life.

I'd hate to have e-sport cut of its d*ck and turned mainstream. I'd be genderless and dull.

best taunt of the the day tho is the comment he said in rematch he had with idra.

MC: umadbro?

Idra: why would i be mad? zerg is not suppose to beat protoss.

MC: cool GG

damn, i bet idra was raging his ass off in his head. MC really got inside idras head with the mind games. kinda felt sorry for idra for once tho cuz MC stomped him pretty bad then added insult to injury lmao.

I feel like IdrA responded inappropriately. MC has stated in the past that his ceremonies are merely part of a persona he uses to get more fans and make the SC2 scene more interesting.

Basically, I feel that MC's gesture was really harmless, but IdrA's was genuinely offensive.

MC is a really good showman. Look at how he does his pre-game interview vs Naniwa. He hypes up the game well and built a storyline, compared to Naniwa's interview. It's personae like these that make some players more interesting than others.

It's all part of showmanship. People need to stop getting offended. I know Idra fanboys are hopeless, but c'mon. MMA's Kamehameha and MC throat slash. Made for a great event! :D

I know in some real sports some people frown on that showboating. Especially the NFL doesn't allow touchdown dances anymore... I think. Let's not get lame like the NFL.

They don't use it on mainstream tv because of the pg rating.
I think I have yet to go or participate to a live show where nobody gets flipped off.
It's cheap for sure, but it's still a classic. I think the throatslash gesture isn't very creative either.
MMA's kameha was way funnier in my opinion !
