MMmm well maybe you mean crazy like furious :D Yeah me too. That strategy could easily be called "gay" by alot of people since it's veeeeery all-innish and totally exploits terrans weakness in early game with 1 fac builds. If you don't see it coming, you basically can't handle it because you'll get run over. I mean 3 (!) proxy factories. Congrats to rekrul for the cash though! | ||

You mean to say it's "gay" when a protoss does an 'all in' vs a cc before gas build? Really? | ||

I mean like... he, along with the rest of the known Universe KNOWS his weakness is obviously cheese, so why on Earth do a build that puts you in such a hard position to defend from any sort of calculated early aggression? It was pretty obvious how bad his build was, since Nony did not even actually cheese that game, rather he made the proxies as a response, AFTER he scouted Idra. To me it shows a difficulty adapting, because the entire flow of this bo5 was EXTREMELY different from the set these guys played together after the end of the ladder stage. Idra lost a game there, a long macro game, and it seems to me that he was under the impression that he has to do a little bit better in the macro/long game area, in order to overrun his opponent completely. This was obviously not the case, and the flow of the game was very different, and this is Rekrul's most likely reasoning of why Nony had good chances to beat Idra, which is his superior mental state. just my 2 cents | ||

I'm sure he'd be trash if everyone played as often, kind of a pointless argument though. | ||

Betting on Nony and getting 1:3, for example, is a claim that Nony will win 1/4 the time or better. If he bet that and won then you'd think "well Nony would win every now and then so Rek's money was probably safe long term from a statistical point of view". By betting 1:1 Rek bet Nony would beat Idra half the time or more. That's obviously a very bold claim and Rek put his money where his mouth was. The more extreme the odds, the bolder the claim is. Well he did put some of his money where his mouth was, but you have to consider he has tons more of it than us. Its like you betting 5 bucks. So while the claim was pretty bold, it has not much to do with the money involved, cus thats pretty much nothing for rek. In fact Id argue his claim was rather cautious from a monetary point of view, cus he wouldnt have limited the amount of $ or denied rek a 1k$ bet if he would have been really willing to "put his money where his mouth was". | ||
