and a quick question: did the replays from this event get released? i've been really super busy and didn't keep track if they got out yet. let me know so i can go find them if they didn't.
From now on we will be using YouTube, so there won't be any troubles viewing the videos.
Last video: IdrA/White-Ra/TossGirl on stage Award Ceremony
Eleventh video: View of IdrA + White-Ra in press room interview Press Room Interview
First video: White-Ra teaches IdrA some manners White-Ra + IdrA
I will be updating this thread a whole ton today. If anyone has something in particular they want to see or know or asked or whatever, let me know and I'll probably include it at some point.
As short as that was, I enjoyed it. Besides Idra being "humble" he actually seemed a lot more comfortable. Hopefully he does well. Nice to see a video of White Ra too.
haha thats gotta suck for Idra, being insulted on camera, knowing its gonna be posted on here/all over the BW scene.. Guess it really bites you in the ass when you are a dick to everyone.

I think it was more of a friendly tease if anything. Idra and Artosis have a mutaul respect for each other, and they're both friends so it's a tease with no intent of harm
From Idra level of BM to Nony level of BM. Not smart enough to respect others, but at least smart enough to act in front of an audience. At this rate, maybe in 10 or 20 years he will finally become an adult.

yes
He made an interview with artosis a long time ago where he trashed talked euros a lot. While it was clear that he was joking, he still pissed off tons of people here on the forums lol
I can't believe what bw is becoming recently for foreigners. Imagine all this even in 2004? Artosis sickest work as always, i am loving every second of this.
I am going to make a super interview at some point, and i want goooooooood questions for it, because i can only do it once. we have no english->chinese translators, so i have to use english=>korean korean=>chinese chinese=>korean korean=>english. a TOTAL pain. so let me know exact questions people want to hear.

Wow thanks. Ask him:
- Who have you been practicing with for this event?
- How do you describe your own play style: aggressive, standard, creative or what?
- How strong do you think China is in starcraft compared against Koreans and compared against the rest of the world?
Who do you think are the best non-korean/chinese players?
Is there a player that seems to have your number? If so, why?
What do you think is the best way to deal with the Chinese lag issues for online tournaments?
What do you think of F91 owning the bejeezus out of everyone in Liquibition?
Rank your own matchups best to worst.
Proudest moment as a BW player?
Are you friends with all the top players in China (e.g. PJ, LX, F91, etc)? Do you practice together all the time? Any funny anecdotes from knowing them for so many years?
What are your favorite maps of all time to play? To watch games?
Do you watch and study Korean pro games to improve your own play? What do you look for?

he wanted good questions
maybe in 10-20 years you will be smart enough to come up with some?

I found them. (: I wont post link because it is denying SCForAll website views.
SCForAll should quit with the whole 'you must visit my site' bullshit. I mean no ones throwing a hissy fit over SCForAll basically using TL.net to 'advertise' their content for free... show us the same courtesy please! Its not like people don't want to visit your site, its that they can't. Page visits aside, SCForAll gets enough exposure in the videos anyway.

link? :D
I don't think those maps were released to the big public.. There's a WCG2002 vod of blackman vs boxer in which the commentator (Korn[pG]) mentions the unorthodox practice ways of blackman.
Haha, people still believe this crap. ^_^ Blackman once said himself in an interview that he never programmed any map or computer for practice. If I am not mistaken, tomsOn spread the rumour first...

Yeah because SCForAll and TL.net are really comparable. Oh wait ... /facepalm -_-
Tx for the vids Artosis, always nice to have BTS coverage. Looking forward to day 2 broadcasts!
I have a question though: Is the account Gameitoss shared between White-ra and a bunch of other people? Cause it shows Gameitoss messaging Idra on iCCup, but then it shows White-ra playing against the computer.. who does he share it with?
I get that some people don't agree with my toss hks... but wtf was whitera doing? Was he clicking to build after queing up gateways... or is he from some country where the keyboard was different? So interesting!
By the way, great videos artosis.
Edit: Oh yeah gusbear, if you want artosis to keep doing stuff like this, he needs to get tons of hits. So let's give him his damn hits!

My point was that the SCForAll website would not load for some people. He's hosted the videos on youtube now so I am actually fighting to give him more hits on his videos which he would otherwise not have gotten if there was no direct link to the youtube account.
Fantastic coverage Artosis, thanks a lot. If it'll help any, I could restream your stream via my own Mogulus so we could split the viewers - may help with stream lag, although mine would have somewhat worse quality since it'd be double-encoded. Also recommend you set Procaster to run on a different CPU to SC if you're on a multi-core computer (Task Manager -> right-click program -> Set CPU Affinity... -> have one on CPU 0 and the other on CPU 1) as that may help with the in-game lag you seem to have been experiencing.

so explaining why he lost/won quite detailed is a sign of being retarded... thanks for the insight
I feel like idra is like Mr. Darcy from pride and predjudice. I started out not liking him and think he was bm and then I started to understand his postition and now hes a cool guy.
UPDATE sorry but there will be no more video interview stuff going up from ESWC. sadly super went home early and i became very very busy and wasn't able to get all the stuff i was planning on.

Sadly, i'm probably one of very few who understood you in this post. But I totally agree. I'm falling for idra hard.
EPT
idra complementing a foreigner protoss thats crazy...well i guess it is white-ra and everyone loves white-ra
Looking forward to day 2 broadcasts!
