I can only assume you made this topic because MC lost to Grubby which is a super dumb reason to think something like this. MC just hasn't performed well lately. He's had trouble in all 3 matchups. To be fair through Season 4 of GSL (I guess that was the first Code S season) MC had won all of his PvPs. Of course all meant he beat San in the one PvP he had played. He got crushed by Alicia 2-0 in the Supertournament shortly there after though. | ||

I love the phoenix wars which somehow start to appear in professional games lately. I always found the Colossi wars hilarious, it is like watching a lot of gas go poof and having 6 or so spindly colossi waiting for chargelots to come back and wear as shoes. I don't think that 4 gate era was as good as PvP now though. The diversity of options is a lot more fun to watch than knowing 4 gates are going to happen every single PvP, I can't wait for Phoenix builds to get a lot more sorted in terms of counters. | ||

Fun to Watch: YES!!! Fun to Play: Hell No -_- Ling Bling ZvZ Fun to Watch: YES!!! Fun to Plat: No Stressful as Hell. The issue is that there is a difference from what people want to play. And what they want to watch. | ||

"oGsMC was good in the 4gate era" is false. MC was only good at that time because there were few koreans at foreign tournaments. I do think Rain, parting, creator, squirtle etc. are all better than MC at PvP today. look at foreigners such as babyknight, grubby, i do believe they are improving rather than winning due to more forgiving game designs | ||

I'm not sure if it was my newbie bias back in the day , compared to knowing more about sc2 now , but looking back at pvp back then - it did indeed seem a lot more exciting and fun to watch. Just thinking about all of Huks pvp's that had me on the edge ^ _ ^ Or maybe its just that i really dislike the huge coinflip bo win-loss situations, that happen so hard nowadays. Which seem written in stone unless one makes a freaking huge mistake. (eg. : Phoenix > Robo, Robo>DT) I think I'll go check out some old GSL vods to see if they really were more fun. PS : interesting point i think is also map design, if Blizzard or Mapmakers would not have seen a Problem in 4gate wars, i wonder what the maps would look like nowadays where Ramps wouldnt be important. | ||
