that's interesting. i thought the results went pretty much as expected for the most part. i guess Ret has been doing better but that may or may not have anything to do with HotS. and he's still just a foreigner.

nice post overall though by DK.

Typical MC bravado. He should have said "I'm all-ining every game, they're not". By the time the next Code S begins, I bet most TvP openers will be safe against his Oracle shenanigans, I wonder what he'll do then.

Give Corruptors a cool-down AOE air attack (to make them viable for anti-air without needing 20 of them)

aaaaaaaaand

Give Zergs free drop upgrade from the get go, but put the speed upgrade back to lair (and maybe make it 200/200)

Something that abuses TvP openers that are safe against oracles shenanigans. It's MC, dude knows the metagame fairly well.

Some other piece of insane aggression you would never imagine working. It'll be the usual shtick with MC performing and everyone else dieing. I do think he looked more effective than the rest of the race will perform. Personally, I want to see what Rain does. Rain just thinks on another level than all of the other protoss.

I think TvP is gonna dominate Toss thinking so we won't see quite as much absolutely insane shit in PvZ. I do think though that PvZ looks verrrry very promising with recall. It looks like they are close to the perfect balance that it trims down zerg's economy lead while still letting zerg have a reasonable third.

I dont think medivac boost is making me more aggressive, if anything, im more defensive because im scared of a quicker counter-drop.

Correct response from Blizzard atm even if I think medivacs are a little too good right now. Maybe nerf the speed a bit.

In the campaign, they have "Greater Nydus Worm", which dumps what looks like 8 supply every belch. Maybe make that a Hive upgrade?

Well he already got totally outplayed by Innovation (in the games he didn't get through with an unscouted all-in). Against Polt it would've probably looked similar (His TvP was close to perfection). Bomber already admitted that he wasn't really prepared for TvP, like MC wasn't for PvZ - a logical phenomena if you regard the short practice time between release and tournament. If Phoenix are the solution.... we'll see!

He'll prolly cry on the forums asking for nerfs. Or innovate, who knows!

Continue performing really well? What exactly are you trying to imply about MC anyway. He has been one of the most successful players over the longest periods of time. He is the top earner in SC2 despite playing the least successful race in WOL. I'd say he will just come up with a new style and will be just fine.

Ill take that constructively as that was the general idea of the post
Throw some insanity in with a hint of thought process (slight additional resource cost)

Nobody is close to figuring the game out yet.

Probably.... I still can't figure out how some of these horrible new units made it into the multiplayer.

Agreed. Screw the people who see a race winning a couple of games with some unit and then start screaming about how overpowered the race is and it needs to be nerfed.

We've seen less mech in HOTS then in WOL, it should be a concern, especially for TvP. Otherwise, i like the attitude of "let's wait" before we nerf. Nerfing units and builds left and right is what made WOL boring IMO.

Typical foreigner outcry against allins/any form of early game aggression. If that's the meta, MC has adjusted and everyone else hasn't. "I wonder what he'll do". Did you say this stuff back in WoL where he was easily the most successful protoss and the most consistent?
