1 dc, 1 cancelled CC, 2 instant BO wins and another couple of quick cheeses. It's like the people that are commenting on how good this series was just checked out the results and are really happy that nony won (over the currently best foreigner that everyone has decided to hate). Really bad series imo.

I really don't get these arguments, why is the only "legit" victory one obtained in a long macro game?

Idra believes this sort of argument too, which is why he keeps losing against other foreigners despite his Korean training.

Too bad Idra is out, he was so unlucky and Nony´s proxies were simply too powerful against his openings

But gg´s anyways I was very surprised with the cheesy style Nony brought to the match.
But understandable as standard play against Idra is like starting the match from 0-2 position.

Oh, and Idra even dared Nony to use cheese in his interview - there should be no expectation for all straight up macro games.

I was rooting for Idra. Poor guy.... He's a great player. Nony played a very smart series and there was just some really bizarre shit going on that put Idra on tilt. Full props to Nony for winning the mind game which is just as important as the mechanical game, a la Best vs July OSL finals, I just feel for Idra.

Keep playing strong, Idra! You got fans out here!

I'm not butthurt, nonY deserves to win. Is this supposed to convince anyone that nony is a better overall player? lol

I like how you just assume everyone thinks that and that you are so much better informed than everyone else. I don't even think I've read something that even insinuates that in this thread so far.

Interesting and entertaining series, but disappointing in that you can't really say much about it except for some crazy mind games going on.

I am mostly disappointed that both players tried to get relatively easy wins by going for cheesy builds. I think it shows a lack of confidence from both of them. I mean, yeah if you are Nony and are getting ready to play Flash, go for cheese by all means if that is what you need to do to win. If you are Idra playing Stork then I think rax CC is great. But these are two players who are probably fairly close in skill/mechanics at this point, so why not go standard and really see who can outplay the other person.

All that talk about confidence before the games(both claiming they were supremely confident) and I think both showed that they weren't really confident about being better.

I dont see a big upset really, look the brackets tbh.

all 4 players are the most clutch players from the foreign scene.

All dumbass fanboys can say no skilled players and blablabla, but the 4 players left here are probably the best foreingers overtime (excluding draco).

Idra has always been overrated and the only reason why he wins stuff is mb cause he plays 16 hours a day for 2 year long in one of the best teams in korea.

then don’t act like you know this game better than everybody else and calling people idiots. you don’t. and believe it or not, nony was the better player today. that’s all there is to it. nobody cares who is better "overall." idra has the edge in macro but nony's ability to adapt and read the game won him the series, along with idra's misclick of course. idra had some glaring micro mistakes and bad decisions in his losses.

I wish we could have seen a long game in the series, but I guess at least one of them each time had to decide on a short one.

It was still a close series... although it sucks that there were so many mishaps
