Refusing to do that is often seen as sign of bad manner. Or perhaprs as signe of grudge existing between players. When Topalov and Kramnik refused to shake hands in their mtach (chess) it was a big deal, as was seen as lack of sportmanship. Same goes for many other sports, snooker, bridge, go hell almost everywhere. If You ask me it should be the same in sc2. | ||

It reminded me of recent Day9 daily with TLO (as T) against WhiteRa who went mass viking, banshees and ravens accompanied by marines. He said that sometimes you have player like TLO who will try something else, something which seems like a mistake and find out that it actually works fine. The same thing Jinro did today. Today is definitely one of those days when we see Starcraft 2 metagames evolving in PvT. Beautiful games today. Those two games weren't really good indications of TvP mech viability. The first game MC was behind after that disastrous first attack. He outmacroed MC on 3 bases vs 2. 2nd game was also completely disastrous. ALL his phoenixes died in 2 seconds to thors because they were clumped. Then he pulled out half of his ground army and so his carriers get completely decimated. Jinro said himself meching in TvP depends heavily on map. | ||

EFGH Same concept as the ABCD groups Then you seed the round of 4 like this. Group 1 1st place versus Group 3 2nd place Group 2 1st place versus group 4 2nd place. But that's some kind of funky seeding, so it's probably not worth it. I tried to make a flowchart of it with my amazing paint skills: ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/eAFTZ.jpg) If you have A16 winner v C16 2nd, B16 winner v D16 2nd, C16 winner v B16 2nd, and D16 winner v A16 2nd, I think you can avoid rematches between players then. | ||

But honestly I prefer to look at this simply. The best Terran in Korea (my opinion) beat the best Protoss in Korea (my opinion). That's it. Any other day, or night, it could have been the exact opposite story. Shit happens. | ||

Q. ( Korean Interviewer ) Did you expect the carriers? A. ( Jinro ) I think the carrier itself is a decent unit. It's underrated by many people, but it's actually quite good against Terran mech. I agree ... If Jinro didn't scout the Fleet Beacon and made a ton of Vikings in time .. I doubt the Mech Push would have been as devastating as it was. I'm not saying MC would have won outright but in the game on Scrap Station ... the Carriers didn't even get a chance to fight. MC was in the Phase of building an army when Jinro pushed ( together with Vikings ) and this obviously won the game. And if it were any other Protoss I doubt they would have counter attacked and made a new base at the Gold. Just wanted to put this out their to the people making fun of MC going Carriers. They do well against Mech Terran without vikings and even when there are vikings but are low in number. | ||

Also don't forget one of the reasons that made the strat viable is close base distance (close positions on LT, rocks across the middle on Scrap) making the T's slow units' push faster than say if it's a cross spawn on Shakura | ||

1. How Jinro treated him in last season 2. How MC behaved after he beat Rainbow (cut-throat gesture) Koreans love Jinro for his manners, humility, and awesome games he provides. On the other hand some folks have been getting fed up with MC's arrogance. | ||

On the other hand some folks have been getting fed up with MC's arrogance. Because people get too serious about esports. I take IdrA's position, with everyone so worried about being nice and mannered it gets boring because all the interviews play the exact same and no one says what they really think. I'm not suggesting that everyone rage Idra style, but there's nothing wrong with some MC style swagger, I really appreciated it and thought he could back it up; it's just that Jinro's also really good. | ||
