After announcing his retirement a few days ago, MC has decided to become a full time streamer and has plans to stream SC2 everyday.



And one more bonus message from the President to his constituents.

Glad MC didn't completely fade away from the scene. Glad he still has a passion, though his competitive spirit might temporarily be quelled. Hopefully this will lead to him getting picked up by a legit team and back to his dominance (I want to see more MMA vs MC series).

This feels so much like the time IdrA reitred.

Maybe it's because of the rivalry that came from these two guys?

Did they really have a rivalry? I only recall like one infamous tournament where IdrA beat MC but then MC came back up and won an extended series or something... which added a ton of drama, but I don't think they had a historical rivalry. IdrA vs. HuK is more accurate, I think?

Ok, this is so cool! I love watching top-tier Koreans stream. I feel like it's rare that we get really good reliable streams from the best of the best so im 100000% behind this and anything like it. Remember the old OGS house days when we had Korean streams 24/7?? Maybe I just dont know where to look but I feel like Ive seen fewer and fewer korean pros streaming in the past 2 years. Hopefully he can sustain himself pretty easily.

if that's what a rivalry looks like to you, you need to learn what a rivalry is. that's standard shit MC and idra did to everyone.

At tournaments how often did Idra flip someone off? I know he did MC and Huk, but don't think he really did anyone else.

Well, I think Idra gave him the finger because he was taunted, not because it was MC. Don't think many have had the nerves to taunt him. He would have done that to anyone I think.

I don't recall MC having something special for Idra either, he did that to everyone, even since bw, right? "suicide toss" iirc? They did run into each other a few times I guess, as they both tended to go far in foreign tournaments in the early days, but not sure I'd go as far as rivalry? Maybe a little...

It was considered a rivalry at that time for as long as Idra stood a chance, later not some much. A bit like 2012 Nerchio-MC.

One of the earliest games of pro SC2 that I remember was an Idra vs MC game, and I was so awed by how Idra read that MC was going DT based on the lower-than-normal sentry count and got spores and won the game. Blew my innocent little mind. Back when I played Zerg and thought 1 base muta was a good build.

I remember MC and Idra having a bit of a rivalry, due to, but not limited to this incident. It faded though and Idra, of course, went on to have a multitude of rivalries (and to become less relevant to players like MC). I particularly liked the Zenio one. Many times, rivalries are just created by hype and there was a lot of that at the time.

It is fair to state that, at least for a while, there was a MC - Idra rivalry.

One doesn't go from being a (high) salaried player and prize winner to "full time streamer." Living off donations is a lot harder than getting your cheque in the mail. It's like going from the NBA to amateur tournaments.

Idra and MC rivalry? Dont be ridiculous.... Idra has never come even close of threatening MC. Not once. He lost all relevant games played between them.
MC was always a player of a completely different calibre.

Yeah, I don't really think MC and Idra are really comparable here. The fact that they are both streaming after quitting sc2 is probably meaningless or irrelevant to their rivalry.

For people interested in Idra's rivalries (yes, MC is mentioned):
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/IdrA/Rivalries

Of course MC is a much more accomplished player than Idra but that's not necessarily how it works in Hypetown.

It takes time to gather a following.

With LOTV coming nad if he plays other games, i am certain he can have more viewers than ForGG and such.

If he wants to be a clown he could aim for that of course. I just don't think it is very worthy for a guy like MC. He should play his best game and against the best. Not horse around in his underpants. Just my opinion though.

In other news... he isn't retired. Surprise, surprise. Just from the competitive side for a while. Why do we even bother with retirement threads.

duckdeok should have the role of agreeing that a retirement thread is posted on TL.

Mc was probabbly just sick and tired of the competition so telling himself and all the world that he wont be in it was and is a hughe step for him there is no coming back for him atleast for some time.
He didnt post big storys about it, he just announced his retirement from competitive SC2, we reacted to it therefore if anything its our fault to hype it.
Im glad his character will follow us still he would be a hughe loss to the scene might comentate or something like that from time to time.

But i dont believe he comes back with LotV he just likes us and wants to still entertain us all.

If he wants to be a clown he could aim for that of course. I just don't think it is very worthy for a guy like MC. He should play his best game and against the best. Not horse around in his underpants. Just my opinion though.

or he should just literally do anything he feels good doing because he is a human being who plays a computer game well and not an object for others to place arbitrary values and standards on

competitive play is as different from streaming as being a pro sports player is from being a pro sports coach. by your logic is incontrol not a retired player (at least in context of hots)? is rotterdam a "pro player" bc he streams successfully? come on now

and you know why we bother with these threads, because there's nothing else to talk about at the moment. it's not like they take away from the forum

Retiring from competitive side of things = retiring from SC2. Him not competing in tournaments anymore is a big announcement, he doesn't have to stop sc2 as a hobby to "retire" from sc2 as a career

He signed with Kongdoo (Yellow's esports personality agency) as a Starcraft II player/streamer.

Chill dude, MC is one of the most successful progamers in the scene and that makes him a public figure and a little bit more than "...a human being who plays a computer game well...". It is sweet of you to defend MC and all that, but I, like all the other fans of SC2, are still entitled to express our opinions on what we think of MC's current and future SC2-activities whether you like it or not.

you're way off the mark bro, i didn't say or imply you're not "entitled" and in fact was replying to your opinion with my opinion which is generally how discussion works. no one needs to chill here

so much for doing league/bw on afreeca


I would have been shocked if he did afreeca BW. His main fan base is SC2 players, and with the current level of talent in the BW scene it's highly unlikely he would be successful enough to attract a good viewerbase. He is entertaining though, so maybe he could still have some success there going the way of a larva, shuttle, or terror.

Good news. Always saddens me when someone retires from the scene completely.

MC will probably be contributing more to the starcraft by streaming and not leaving all cold turkey.

Love his stream!

I love even more the fact that he's 0-9 and counting against Bly for today.

You could see him eating kimchi with PartinG today. He streams pretty often, usually in the morning or early afternoon (for us in EU).

And today Bly was analyzing one of his wins against MC on stream today.

I love the trash talk that goes between the two of them, maybe we'll get to see drama unfold!
