alot of people dont quite seem to understand the idea of going to korea and playing with professionals everyday >< Lets put it this way. Before Idra went to korea him vs nony or yosh or artosis would have been very close, but after playing in korea so long its not like he has been playing c rank newbs @ iccup, hes playing the guys we have dreams about having tea parties with and beating on tv.... well at least ive always wanted to have a tea party with.

It's been a long time since I've had a tea party, anyone care to join? Perhaps we should call
Idra since he knows all the people.

Don't I recall reading something telling us that what you just described as his "pro training" was him just bashing nubs on iccup all day? He also mentioned that NO ONE in the house would play him except for in house tournaments, which were done away with when Daniel Lee left.(incontrol stated this in another thread, maybe the one where it tells us idra goes to CJ?) That is why it was so great he went to CJ... So yeah, he has the same training that NonY and the rest have.. But NonY, in my opinion, is much stronger mechanically, still, than IdrA. Idra doesn't cheese, so its Nony vs Idra in a mechanics war.. I haven't seen Idra reps in a while though. But I do believe Nony has the upper hand in this match up. But who knows, maybe our American hero can prove me otherwise! I hope for some good games!
Edit: Went to edit grammar, but ended up changing my statement.. If it doesn't make sense don't hold it against me, I'm frikin tired :p

well yes i will admit, while in estro he did not play the actual pros very much but when he did he still was getting more exposure than any of us forginers, including nony. Also he was A- rank on iccup so its not like they were newbies, he was still getting good training but by far what did it was the time period of his practice. Imagine being forced to sit in a room and play as many games as you can for 12 hours a day every day for months..... Thats some serious training. Also, now that he Joined CJ he ONLY is allowed to play CJ members which are very good, and he plays them once again for a full 12 hours a day, and greg even puts in extra practice as well. I personally havent seen him and tyler play lately, tyler is awsome their is no doubting that but he does not have the advantage that greg has as far as practice goes, and i do believe that idra's mechanics are better. Once again im not saying Idra is going to rape usa finals easy, we have some solid players, but he SHOULD win. If you had to put money on anyone it should be the progamer whos been sitting in korea playing thousands of games vs pros.

Massgaming does not make you win, natural sense and talent does ^^
