I'm honestly just curious | ||

It appears he was just brought up in January, and STX has a lot of depth, so he can get by 3 months without playing in a league or PL/WL game on the A-team. fuck beaten twice | ||

I'm honestly just curious "A Team" and "B Team" are not things arbitrarily assigned by fans as a method of ranking players by how good they are. Teams have an A team that consists of their roster of ProLeague players, and a B team that consists of players not on the ProLeague roster who are essentially practice partners. Every player starts on the B team and is moved up to the A team if they perform well enough. These things are done internally and are at the discretion of the coach based on how well the players are doing in team practice. Trap is significantly stronger than STX's B team, and earned his spot on the A team and thus the proleague roster because of it. | ||

Yes, these players are seeded and don't play until the Round of 64 Pt.2 (which is two rounds away). It's not weird so much as it is the norm among large tournaments like this - the better players (whether it be determined by the previous season or by KeSPA rank) are usually given byes all the way through the preliminary rounds. | ||

Just because you're doing one thing right (dedication, improving) doesn't make another wrong thing (bad manner to the point of disrespecting not only other players, but the game in general) right. IMO people are gona give him shit for being bad mannered, until hes not anymore. it's great to see/hear that hes making all of these improvements, but you really can't expect people to get off his nuts about being bad manner, if hes still bad manner. just my 2cents anyways. GL Idra hope you do better next time. | ||

Also he got to train in top notch facilities whereas, Idra went to the mountains on a 56k modem and is gonna win based on will power and heart. only instead of drago in rocky 4 he fights an old russian drunk handicap with no eyesight and bad stamina thats the best analogy i can give for as to who idra is facing if compare best of america = rocky = idra to best of russia= drago = best of korea??? = trap? | ||

GL Idra hope you do better next time. siiiiiigh ONE MORE TIME i'm talking about people saying "IDRA IS BAD/SHOULD RETIRE/WILL NEVER BECOME ANYTHING" specifically because they don't like the fact that he is bad manner christ i say this over and over and the only response i get is "well he's still bad manner!!!!!!!!" | ||
