Great write-up (as always)! I can't believe the craziness that happened with the mouz vs. Liquid` games.

I feel bad for HuK getting the exact thing he didn't want for a first round match. Sucks that he had to play something so chancy for his first match.

I thought MorroW's decision making was great in his games. I'm always happy to see a player take advantage of a clear weakness in their opponent's play. It seems like Jinro's propensity for the strong macro game is starting to catch up with him.

Is Morrow secretly a writer? After his huge essay in the disconnect thread and his responses here, im starting to wonder...

Morrow is the modern Aristotles, I love his writing and the thoughtprocess.

MC's arrogance is just making him a villain. It's like his winning is feeding his ego instead of his well being. He is basically worse then Idra. Ah well, guess its just more fun seeing him lose, cause it will happen, it happened all january, it'll happen again.

MC is a bit of a prick.. his power is going straight to his head, I would love to see white-ra demolish him and just do something insanely bm towards mc during the game. Sadly, that probably won't happen, because white-ra is a decent person, unlike mc.

That's what I thought!
Great write-up, even though I wonder when inpolite bragging became so popular around the pro scene.

I Hope white-ra beats MC next round, that would be pretty damn funny.
Anyway, good matches. Definitely stoked for next week.

Come on ppl, think of MC as a larger than life WWE wrestler. Why is everyone getting so personal and "I cant take anymore of his cockiness" shit?

I dont hear anyone complain about the attitude of the Rock or Stone Cold Steve Austin.

It probably says a lot about MC that I can't think of a single other progamer who I could look at and say "yep they have a good chance against MinChul"

Socke could probably beat him PvP

A big part has to be the convention of SC2 and carryover from SC1 vs convention in professional wrestling. That said I think MC and his response just radiates confidence and I love it

Meh, not sure why so much hate on MC. So what if he said he was the best Protoss player in the world... he is! I'm bored of all the Korean progamers being humble and modest and "I just practiced really hard and thanks to all my teammates". This guy's a baller, and he walks into the GSL finals wearing a Teamliquid patch on his jacket.

He has the balls to speak English on television, youtube, interviews, everywhere - just to be a bit more accessible to his foreign fans. If you won a game in the GSL, would you try out your Korean out in your interview? Even just 감사합니다 (thank you)? I doubt it. Cut him some slack!

Saying all that, I've been a White Ra fanboi since beta, so I'm going to be cheering for him.. but I'm not sure I like his chances. I think from his interviews that he thinks of PvP as a coin flip. But MC wins a heck of a lot of his PvPs (did anyone see how he tore HongunPrime to pieces with identical unit compositions?).

Aside from Duckload, MC would probably have my support against anyone left in the tournament except Liquid'Tyler. (go Tyler!)

MC: "There was indeed, not much to him." Lol. I wonder if he is intentionally cocky or he is that direct.

Exactly. How did firebathero become so popular? From being mannered and respectful to everyone?

Trash talk isn't nice in the slightest but it brings games up to another level

That is what atleast I am trying to say, that MC is a cocky arrogant prick having the power get to him. It's nice to have such a guy in the sc2 community, but hence, the hate towards him. This will make it extremely good when he loses, like whitera (good) vs MC (evil).
Till now Idra has been the only one being rude and direct, now we have another villain called MC.

I cant wait for the MC vs Whitera part. If Whitera wins, imagine the crowd going wild. If MC just was plain boring, then the Whitera win wouldn't mean that much.

So dont bash people hating MC, its what is needed, and will be good.

WhiteRa building a manner-nexus inside MC's base.

The internet would probably explode.

Great write-up, thanks!!

MC is such a boss, he's cocky but so far he gets away with it because he's such a boss! Its great to have a player bring some personality to the scene.

To bad Jinro and Huk lost, makes me sad panda. However both Morrow and Hasu played amazingly and deserved it!

I am so proud of HasuObs. Not only for showing these good games, but even more for being so modest about his win. Shows that he's a great player AND has a great personality. Made a fan out of me!
