If they every *do* play Liquibition, they should do at least one game where Mondi is P and JF is Z. Actually, Mondragon's PvZ is pretty damn good :O


i heard that mondragon used to be a Protoss at the start, then he he switched to zerg.

probably the overmind took control of his mind while he was a stray zealot or something

I think thats wrong. As I remember it, he said he used to play all the races, but that his zerg always had been a little better than his protoss and terran. Thus he ended up playing zerg for tournaments etc.

why not just ask him it's not like he's korean, in the sense that he's "unreachable" communiation wise. Good to see other foreigners rise up Hopefully we can get on league win before SC2

Man I want Idra to do well in Korea but sometimes I wish he'd just take a leaf out of Mondi's book and just not post on TL.
It felt like gravity.

He race picks against worse players, when it matters he plays zvz.

Honestly mondragon is pretty damn good in PvsZ and IIRC was always able to beat ToT's numerous Zergs with it. That being said, his ZvsZ on the other hand, (even though he could steal a single game from savior) is still ZvsZ. It has more *luck* involved and quite frankly I don't see any non Korean being all that dominant with it. Picking Protoss (as his PvsZ is quite good) is more of a sure thing when knowing your opponent is not as strong with ZvsP as you are with PvsZ. Playing ZvsZ will probably always be the best option for playing opponents better than you or the same level because that way the luck factor works more in your favor.

If my memory serves me right (going back to fsgs and a bit later marquis servers) Mondragon played Zerg in pretty much every game he really wanted to win.

Hm... I miss the old good fsgs times.


Mondragon was about 14 years old back then and a beast allready ^^.

Anyway savior has been slumpin'

Mondragon is awesome but i think its just that he is much less awesome when he racepicks.

You guys may not like IdrA for his honest statements and I don't want to agree or disagree with him. But I know for sure that he has the right spirit to be pro and that he got insanely good. No foreign player is close to him I'd say.

To prevent flames: No player is unbeatable, even a worse foreigner can win a game against IdrA, but thats how a game goes, you win or you lose, you never win all the time.

Are you insane?
On which games you base your statement?

I agree with most things
But statements like ' No foreigner is close to him ' in my opinion are untrue.

The only foreigner you could say that about were Grrrr... and Elky at a certain time and Im not even sure about Elky ( maybe Slayer.. dunno )

But right now I wouldnt say that Idra is certainly better than Nony, Mondi or an active draco..

Meh grouping nony with mondi and "an active draco" is a gross overestimation, right now he hasn't proven himself to be worthy

Isn't it all speculation since IdrA hasn't been playing in lots of foreign tournaments?
