All DongRaeGu did in this game is took a book out of MC's playbook. MC is strong with his early aggression that is almost never an all in. It's about time zerg took a step out of their base in the early game and didn't let protoss play passively. | ||

I think oGs is glad to make rivals, and I think MVP is the same after seeing the intros for Genius and DRG. I'm looking forward to see how SlayerS and MVP come out in the finals because maybe that'll be the true rivalry :D | ||

They picked Crossfire as the map, which is a great map for TvZ... maybe they thought SuperNoVas tank play would be too good for drg to handle? | ||

When you don't do what mc did you end up with tons of units with no map control while the zerg is freely droning up for a powerful mid-game. How was he the better player regardless of his all-in? The entirety of his play was the all-in. He didn't go past Dong executing his build-order, which has absolutely nothing to do with being the better player. It makes you the luckier player. He was the better player because his "all-in", which for some reason you do not consider a viable strategy and ignore, won him the game. Dong didn't let him execute his build order. If MC had been the better player in that isolated instance of a match of StarCraft, then he would have been victorious. But, hey, he wasn't. Therefore he was the lesser player. MC was completely and totally outplayed and did not deserve to win. | ||

Seconded. SC2 is a very intense games that involves a lot of nerves. After a loss players can become very unpredictable, and if someone comes over and punches their glass - I wouldn't be surprised if a fistfight erupted sooner or later. Granted - Nerds can't fight and it would look hilarious for most people. And seeing two groups of unfit SC2 pros slapping and girly kicking each other on the main stage of GOM. I don't think I would stop laughing for days. But it would be unpleasant to the handful of elderly citizens trying to find the shopping channel website. After the reading the outrage from 3 letters - GOM will force every player to wear a muzzle and have both their hands and feet cuffed before entering the booth. Escorted by GOM security, of course. A new era will dawn in E-sports where the games remind the audience more of prisoners shanking each other, then about people playing video games. | ||

I don't see why banning the ridiculous ceremonies, which have become common place in GSTL esspecially, is a bad thing. I mean from what I've seen they are worse than FBH's, which is a step too far imo. | ||

The only thing i seen him done was gestures and taunting. | ||

You are pretty much committed into killing the nexus or you will be behind. No denying that MC just chose a bad build to play against roach ling allins on that build. But after defending bombers marine scv allin he must have been pretty confident in his micro. Yeah but there's not really a question of "can I kill the nexus" against one gate FE you are pretty much guaranteed to kill it so there is little risk with doing an attack like that. It's probably even safer than trying to go toe to toe economically against one gate FE so I wouldn't consider it all in. | ||

People jump of the rivalry band wagon far to much, its as if they are trying to create one out of nothing. Like people play once a lil bit of BM, boom instantly a thread on new rivalry!? | ||

He went 1 gate -> expo -> stargate. If he thinks he safe from attack with all that tech and money spent on an expo, he is just plain wrong. MC probably assumed that DRG would play macro style and you can't just assume things in SC2. he would have been safe if it was a narrow ramp, he had 2 sentries with LOTS of forcefields. but it was a wide ramp map. he should have known that and went with a different build. | ||
