I ask again, are you as outraged about Sleep, Thorzain, Select, and Hero forfeiting all of their matches?

"DANCE FOR ME PROFESSIONAL GAMER, I'M YOUR FAN!"

Absolutely dumb, the tournament was scheduled to be over, Pool C also quit early because they were tired, Idra arriving the day of the tournament from China, pointless group play for a shitty 500 or 1000 dollars? I wouldn't stay up for that shit money.

No, he was almost falling asleep in the booth, there are pictures of him almost falling asleep before the match too.

I would have been more disapointed if he played shitty games now, and you would too, if you were not an Idra hater(I accuse you of being a hater because it has been stated several times that he is was almost falling asleep, and you are completely ignoring that)

So why tire yourself in a practice game before the games that actually matter?

I say fuck the fans and get some god damn sleep. People who are mad at him for needing sleep obviously havent been outside of their basement and travelled. Its extremely frustrating and tiering to play games when you're jetlagged, not to mention the fact that the tournament was delayed by 5 hours which means he's been sitting around doing jack shit for hours upon hours getting even more tired.

Think people hating on IdrA right now aren't thinking about the situation from his perspective. IdrA knows that he can't win against two tip top Korean terrans feeling as tired as he is, so getting rest for the more important matches seems like a wise decision.

No, the fans are mostly happy. It's the haters that keep insisting they and the other fans are disapointed because they don't get to see shitty games

They'll take any excuse to call IdrA a bad human being.

Good decision, I'd rather see Quality over quantity.
Rested Idra ftw.


Basically, i'm no IdrA fan but im sure Idra knows how he feels he probably wouldn't do this just because he must be really feeling like shit to do this. I blame more of the tournament format if a player can just skip his group play but still get a chance to win obviously somethings lacking
Plays against every MU with nexus first.

You show the ignorance and stupidity that comes with being a mindless hater. He never made an excuse for not winning here, he simply chose to forfeit his games to get some sleep which he decided was more important since his chances of even taking second would be slim at best. Also, with the delay today the games would go on for an insane amount of time for someone who is already sleep deprived and just hurt them even more the next day.

Why there is even a thread about this is beyond me. Had it been white-ra who bowed out people would be rushing to show support and people would go google jetlag to give reasons why it is such a good decision on his part. However, since it is idra, the biggest fucktards on TL come out to post.

What happens if 2 or more players forfeit in the same group? Who gets what seed?

I love this decision actually. I was so excited to go see IdrA play today, but yet again I realize (being on the East coast, and having relatives in China) that a 12 hour jetlag is not a simple thing to overcome.

Basically his choices were: go 0-3 in group + get good rest or go 0-3 in group and get flamed/hated and then not get rest for future games

It just sucks that he has like IEM -> IPL -> MLG right after each other

Everyone forfeit(?), so it's randomized

When I said fans I meant the people who got really dissapointed and started flaming, then again those people arent really fans, thanks for correcting me

I don't know how good it would be if White-Ra had lost to Idra, then Idra allowed the others to take auto-wins, but right as it stands I don't think it makes too much of a difference.

Bad for the tournament, they lose 2 games, but smart on Idra's part. Can't say I'm a fan of the strategic forfeit though.

Smart decision imo. The big prize is on the line tomorrow. Probably a decision he made after seeing how he felt in the WR game then working out how much sleep he'd lose with all the delays.

If he finished the pool games and didn't do well then said it was down to delays and jet-lag we'd still see people calling it bm QQ'ing.
