Someone should insert a few Incontrol flames to really fire this tread up into epicness.

Btw:
I'm sure there is enough time to play tons of Starcraft even if you make 100 Posts a day .

If I was you, I wouldn't waste my time on TLnet and actually try to become someone, they don't give out free licenses so you can use them to come and post here, consider yourself lucky, else you would still be on eSTRO trying to make it past RO1000 @ courage and a few weeks later them sending you back home and recruiting someone else.

Honestly I think a dedicated korean needed that free license more than you did.

but you are not him, and you wont ever be in his situation.
Honestly I think you are jealous as fuck.

It's true I won't, why? Because I'm actually working harder than him on getting my PhD than he is on being someone, rofl jealous of what? There's nothing there to be jealous of.

reason most people go for diplomas: to say something as stupid and petty as this. so ugly and pathetic.

I actually think white-ra is a better player than mondragon.

Its just that ra's pvz is like a whole 2 levels under his pvt and a whole 3 levels under his pvp.

Maybe it would help if instead of writing '' Mondi > Idra '' one could as well write '' In my opinion'' or '' i think that.. ''

I can understand Idra being a bit pissed when someone states it as if it was a fact, when it simply is not the case ? _?


In my opinion:

Mondis ZvP is amazing and if he is in shape and additionally has a good day he can beat any foreign Toss and many korean Tosses, too except the really TOP CLASS pro gamers.

His ZvZ is amazing, too but I wont lose many words.

Now about his ZvT: It just is not that strong in my opinion. And I disagree with a statement like Mondi > Idra, because it's rather stupid.

1) Idra's play and activity, dedication and everything changed
2) Idra's known for his good TvZ which got even better
3) I remember Mondi did not do extraordinary well vs Terrans in tourneys and also not vs Idra

Thus I'd say Idra and Mondi are both amazing players. I think Mondi is no favourite vs Idra, but as a whole gamer he has achieved much more than Idra ( No I dont think going to korea is a bigger achievement than getting good places at wcg's and other big events , want to take nothing away from idra or nony, though ).

So I think it would make up for great games with a slight edge for Idra. But not sure tbh.

But posting Idra > Mondi or vice veras is stupid..

Good words. I agree with you regarding his ZvP and ZvZ. Concerning his ZvT of course its his weakest matchup. I think its the only one in which he could lose to a foreign player even if he is in shape though I still think its not really bad too when he is in shape. I would favor Mondragon slightly if he is in shape cause Idra`s TvZ vs korean gamers got better but vs foreign players it might got slightly worse than before.

Anyway get Mondragon to liquibition vs JF and for the following liquibition JF so we can see who will win!

lol idra wouldn't lose to mondragon in tvz if they played like a bo9, ppl like to underrate idra cuz of his big mouth, but he's by far the best non korean terran at this point (noone even comes remotely close) and would bash any non korean zerg pretty badly imo (maybe some of the best chinese ones would stand a chance if you wanna count them as non koreans)

It's a not a fair comparison though. One person is in a proteam practising all day and the other person is studying and playing a few hours of bw a day in their free time. Some days not playing at all. Mondragon is definately a very smart and talented player to keep up with skill as well as he does, with relativaly little playing time.

how exactly do you get worse at a matchup that is pure mechanics by playing 12 hours a day?
tvp i could understand the logic

Awesome Interview! Thanks for the translation. I will never stop wishing Mondragon will change his opinion about going to Korea


P.S. Why does anyone try to get into flame war with Idra? The kid is an attention seeker, and I can't see how his pretended cockiness can provoke anyone after such a long time.
And the who is better than who is just childish, unless both players are repetively competing in the same competition.

man only 450 euros? Not bad as a boost to your pocket, but heck even here in my country its only a month payment, considering there aren't many starcraft tournaments around, well foreign tournaments anyways!

Pretty good interview i guess, if i was interested in those Q&A.

no, foreign p's play a different race

theres not many options with zerg, foreigners play the same thing just without muta micro and without the multitasking for proper hive tech.

Han00b is unfortunately beginning to write weird stuff.. :/

I mean it's basicaly a fact that Mondi has achieved much more than Idra. On the other hand who out of korea except Grrrr and Elky ( looong loong time ago .. ) has achieved more than Mondi has ? Only a few come close ( Fisheye, Draco, Chinese players ect.. )

Its a fact that Mondis ZvP is very good and that he is never a underdog vs a foreigner Protoss..

BUT it's also a fact that mondis ZvT is by far not that good and he's not that confident in it

Add this with the fact, that Idra's TvZ is quite good for foreign standards, that he keeps on playing very very much with very very good opponents

and anything like Mondi > Idra or Mondi would win a bo5 anytime vs IDra is utter nonsense..

As a GAMER in all match ups and if u look at their success and so on.. Mondi > Idra is justified but that wasnt what we were talking about, was it ?

you're right magic phil, idra has accomplished nowhere near as much, you know, considering he is a progamer on CJ entus and that mondragon is playing out of his house.

i know your rebuttal is going to be "but mondragon didn't want to be a progamer!", that doesn't change a thing.

I think we should wait another 10 years to answer that question. Then ask ppl about the greatest foreigner SC players of all time and you will see the results... I wouldnt bet my money on Idra being mentioned only half as much as dissy...
