TLO played TvZ so poorly.......maybe this is what you get from not playing standard. trying to do weird stuff every game doesnt work everytime.

he should not go for a macro game against IDRA. Looking forward to Huk's game!

It wasn't just cheese. The sheer genius behind it is amazing.

1. MC has NEVER proxied before in any tournament.
2. White-Ra usually goes 13 gate.
3. White-Ra usually skips a zealot and goes 2 gate stalkers.

If Season 3 vs. MKP proxied two gates and final vs. Rain were not considered proxy I think I am gonna google the meaning of Proxy.

is it just me? or did MC kinda like...deliberately let WhiteRa take the lead and then went srs lol....the 1st gameplay was kinda uncalled for for the 2 pylon, 2nd was fast too...then the 3rd and 4th kinda went the usual style. eff....i want to watch the last game! grrr eff streamyx!

Those who miss part of some it here for VODs.

watch 2 games during lunch time. Nvr knew Sweden got such a passion and huge crowd. The audience response and cheers to every good move. It is like the old days of BW where korean girls will simply orgasm when a storm casted or a tank blast.

SC2 growing outside of Korea certainly

dont know if troll

Sweden gaming community really evolving to another level and somewhat much closer to Korea already.

White-Ra really unlucky to lose at the final, but to be honest there is no disgrace taking 2 sets from god Protoss.

jsut copy pasted from TL...

nah whitera is good...
but he did the same opening every game and mc got up to it...
whitera been cutting corners to gain advantage and in the final game MC jz decided to punish him hard...
late scout, didnt scout around base when its that late, skipping the first zeal to get the 3 stalkers etc...

Sweden had been an Esport stronghold in Europe since forever.....they have really really good counterstrike and dota team and Esport is really something to them. Look, Jinro is so good.

just saw idra 6 pooled. wat?

come on, he knows he stand 0 chance against MC in a str8 up battle. 6 pool gives him the highest chance to win, probably over 50%

^

on macro idra. yeah i lol'd

If u see in the first game, Idra was leading most of the time even though on more bases and much faster unit regrouping and strong macro.

But MC still stomp him like they were even or much further ahead. That's probably why he go for 6 pool especially Xel naga a 1 v 1 map which obviously not much Idra could do.

i dun think u realize idra changed a lot...
his recent games are a beauty to watch especially due to his insanely good mechanics...
he did bling drop, the +1speedling build, hydra drop etc...
and look at his game 1 gosu overlord creep spread to reinforce his first attack...
honestly game1 idra had it if he hadnt gotten too greedy with his BL out of space...

as for 6pool...
actionjesus = 6pooled to 3.4k master...
it have almsot 80% win rate in ZvP from TL survey though good toss like MC would be able to handle it accordingly...

what, having his queens roflstomped is leading? mid ish game yeah, but never "most of the time"

oh "come back to the come back to the comeback to the come back"

Added on April 15, 2011, 12:52 amyeah he actually changed a lot. i mean, he actually got a fighter pose instead of just standing there. i was fairly surprised.

seriously though, idra is known for his macro, and he still is more comfortable on playing macro. yes, i think anyone would've known that idra felt hopeless against MC, especially how it ended in game 1. point being people perceived him being "serious" for his 6 pool when looking from the bigger picture, idra in a way pretty much gave up hope. hell, you said it yourself that most high level plays no longer involve allins/rush/cheese. all involved long macros. and no doubt players the caliber of MC should be able to handle cheese/rush/allins etc without too much issue. he scouted the pool before the lings are at his doorstep after all giving him time to plan out/prepare on what to do.

u didnt realize tat losing queen is nothing when the toss cant do any pressure on the zerg...

Added on April 15, 2011, 12:54 amand no high lvl games are not only macro games...

i dont know man, thats what you said before.

how would i know? being a NA bronzer, and i rarely watch GSL (if ever) since my favorite protoss star isnt winning grand finals

he was like 55 drones vs 22 probes b4 stargate harras starts. if MC could have canceled the 3rd, then he probably is ahead....but props to idra to be so ball, see protoss 1 basing without any scouting info regarding tech path YET decides to stay on 3 base tier 1 WITHOUT evo chamber.....i rmb he still can cancel his 3rd and go for a lair immediately when he saw protoss is 1 basing.

its like.......wtf

Added on April 15, 2011, 7:11 amit could have been fast collo, pheonix, DT rush, blink stalker opening....

but i love idra's burrow timing. perfect.....so nice to watch.

MC is just like he proclaim~ GOD of protoss

MC indeed is god.

cause no matter what he is sitll way way ahead...
its cross spot...
idra is safe and from the results, his decision is correct...
there's no need to rush to lair to handle phoenixes...
he got his hydras in time to handle the VRs...

Only for people who watched the final match between MC and white-ra

baaawwwwwwwww

Jinro was scammed in his hometown? WTF I thought this only happen in China.

3rd/4th game of MC. zero sentries used AT ALL. it worked, and it gotten him 100k kroners.
hell, on 4th game, because he committed albeit too many sentries trying to buy time for the inevitable, sentries in a way, indirectly caused him that game.
he had the mineral surplus, it could've been zealots (which he didnt warp) or it could've been more stalkers saved the gas from sentries and it could've had a slightly better outcome instead of bringing in a passive probe scouter (no threat level for auto target AI), prolonged vision, VOILA BLINK IN I GG U NAO sorta deal.

i mean, yeah shit like that works, why the f*** not if i wanna do it? lol
and HAHAHA GOD OF PROTOSS SHOWING THE WORLD HE CAN KEJU HIS WAY TO 100K KRONER

and to those that wonder, yes i finally finished the VOD for the last few games (the one with part 1/2/3, about 5 hour 30mins ish) taking bits by bits of time in my office whenever i could. and thanks to Azurues who linked. else i wouldn't have bothered eitherway

in the last game MC proxy coz MC knew white ra will skip the 1st zealot coz MC scouted throughout the 4game, he see it, he knew it, he countered it

and MC went for zealot 1st in every game so he very dulan why whitera noneed out 1st zealot. haha...

but then, he is still risking a tid bit IMO....he got a 50% chance of guess right the position and it will be checkmate, but if its the other side, whitera might be able to get 1 stalker out in time. eh, i would like to see if MC still can win the game onot if he proxied wrong base. the game might be closer.

Not true. On Stockholm's Shakuras Plateau, both side will 100% spawn on cross position. WhiteRa was misinformed. He scouted the wrong side.

Which is why map's information on every tournament is so important.

apabila keju gagal?

cross?? nt even both top or both bottom a

Yup. It's a modified version of old Shakuras. To prevent backdoor abuse during TvZ.

wow then..........then i think MC have no reason not to cheese an opponent who take for granted that MC wont cheese.

its real money man...its like 6 pooling a terran who 14 CC every game or proxy rax a zerg who always hatch first....
