Don't give up on orb so easy, there is always a sliver of hope.

you know, how someone like tossgirl can take 1 game off of jaedong out of 100? what if this is the game?

too bad orb won't win any of those matches...let alone use carriers....

EDIT:
I realize I essentially stole like 3 peoples' posts but my statement stands.

This is, to date, orb's biggest shot to prove that he is legit. We all know that most of the top players don't take him seriously in the slightest. If he beats idra, then he might get some respect. So I expect he will be taking the match quite seriously, even though the odds of him winning the whole thing are quite low.

So yeah, he isn't going to go Carriers on the off chance that some random new poster will actually give him $100 (even though it is most likely rekrul, obviously, he is crazy enough to do it)

but yeah, unless Idra forgot how to make corrupters I really doubt we see carriers.

Why not do something more realistic? like offer idra to beat him with only corrupters and drones

Maybe you can give the money to a third party ahead of time (like whoever was holding the $10k for the smuft/idra match)

yea this seems reasonable

I don't think that was a typo.

Orb is pretty much a macro player, but I think that him trying to macro vs. Idra will be a huge mistake. He should cheese Idra if he wants to win.

You may be a spoiled rich kid but orb is a professional poker player .... so like, I don't think your 100 dollars is very important to him. Save your money and ask a mod to remove this thread.

Can you explain the "useless talent toi have" for those of us out of the loop? I don't think it's possible to get carriers in a serious match, it'd basically be like completely and utterly outplaying and getting them for the hell of it after you have a huge advantage. Unless he comes with some crazy strat that makes Idra not able to expo with a spire up so he can switch to corrupters easily .. anyway enough theorcraft, if this does happen I will be immensely amused.
