Hey Pros and Prosettes (lol)

I had a question for all you fine people who have been to big tournaments and whose names are household names to us geeks. My question is about your laddering experience, see, i'm aware that you guys probly face one another more often then not on ladder, I'm also aware that it must be harrowing for people to play vs someone thats well known.

So have you ever joined a game vs some random guy who just went 'oh screw this, im not gonna play vs IdrA and get raped' and just left in the opening seconds? People who decided it wasnt worth their time getting beat on by a pro?

Personally, I'd be psyched to play a pro test my mettle and be friendly even if i get manhandled! unless it's IdrA in which case he'd tell me im a loser for playing protoss then manhandle me various ways to monday (JK IdrA, I love you!)

well, there's my question ^_^ hope a couple of pros find the time to answer

I personally have an issue with playing pros, i always play nervously and don't play my best! that's why i tend to not go for macro games and just try to do an all-in or a really powerful timing push to beat them! i don't try to macro vs high level players/pros because i don't think i can keep up with them! that's just thoughts, i play protoss!.

I'm not in the level to be matched against pros

wish I was though, I'm getting man handled by plat players (I'm plat also, I have good understandings, but I can't execute very well)
