Logged in for the first time in two years to express how happy I am with this news.

I decided to take a quick look at how things were going around here since I dropped off from checking up on the SC2 scene and was a little sad; especially at how sparse things look with so few actual proper teams there are now. But seeing MC back is an awesome positive.

I think someone like MC being around is a great thing for the scene regardless of his skill level. The dude has a fun personality that brings entertainment outside of the game itself which is always nice to have. I don't care if he wins championships, and this obsession with his skill level before he's even had a chance to prove himself from both his fans and his detractors is just confusing to me. He's a fun personality that happens to be good at the game. Can't we just enjoy what he brings to the table and not worry about whether or not he can live up to his 2011/2012 status before he's even played in a major tournament since his return?

I remember when he won with Huk the redbull archon tournament. Really glad to see him come back to Sc2. Maybe he will convince Huk to come back as well :D

starcraft fans: "foreigners are shit, b tier koreans are shit, casuals are shit, anyone slumping is shit, this game is shit, i am shit, you are shit"

the same starcraft fans, moments later: "why isn't anyone interested in sc2???? is it because the public isn't SMART enough for it??? if only there were something i could do to make this game seem appealing to outsiders... maybe i should keep talking about how shit it is"

MC was always fun to see. I am happy that we will probably get to see at least a bit more of him in the future.

It feels like the Korean progamer scene has shrunk quite a bit and the foreigner scene isn't really getting much new blood as well. However, viewership has been on the upswing this year and there are still a ton of minor and medium tournaments. I visit TL nearly daily and I feel like there is some tourney going on and being streamed basically every single day.
The Korean scene is nowhere close to what it used to be in WoL and major tournaments are quite rare outside of Blizzard sponsored ones, but sc2 is still alive and kicking, and it looks like it still has at least a couple more years of top level progaming in it.

All you smart ass commentators just go look up career winnings for SC2, then go look up all the most memorable moments in SC2 history. The man is an icon. If he has ANY impact on the pro scene it's a gift. I wish him all the best of luck. Any impact MC has on the scene can only be positive.


Thank you.

No matter what race you play, MC is amazing for SC2. We should be thankful and root for him to have the same impact as before.
sOs, Parting, MC and JAGW.

His style was always good for the ladder, let's wait for his skills outside of ladder If there\s any chance, the silence is way too long.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

From what I've seen from his stream he doesn't seem very familiar with the modern meta, and his builds aren't optimal but damn, his mechanics are still top-notch after so many years of retirement.

His stream is really fun to watch because he does so much weird stuff that nobody else seems to do. Him not really knowing the meta is actually a cool thing because we get to see a lot of new strategies that we wouldn't otherwise see.

ive been watching since the first year of WoL and i can honestly say its blizzards fault for the state of korea is in right now. if they left them alone to do their own thing but still did WCS for NA and EU it would have been fine, but blizzards hostile takeover of its esports is the sole reason Korea was so casterized. we have no code b anymore thanks to them. and who the fuck cares about challenger or whatever. i stopped watching after the 3rd reboot of WCS system and LotV took over. im back now, but thats because i could care less about any other esport.
