I doubt he will make it to semi-finals. There are a lot of players who can eliminate him earlier. I'd say Check, FD, Nada, Boxer, the other boxer, Inca, Ensnare, Rainbow, Genius have a really good chance of taking him on in the process. Semi-final is only 4 players and there are a lot of candidates, so expect Idra @ Dallas.

It's too bad you didn't see the bracket list and notice that Check, FD, other boxer, Inca, Rainbow and Genius are all in the other half of the bracket. And NaDa and Boxer would have to play against each other first before meeting IdrA.

Gosh, IdrA is such a serious player. While I think that if everyone 4 gated and 6 pooled in a tournament, it wouldn't be fun, but every once in a while I think it actually kind of makes the tourny a bit more interesting. But props to IdrA anyways, he's a good player.


IdrA is saying 6pooling and 4gating are dumb along the lines of mothership rushing. He is saying people should play standard or with solid builds. For clarification purposes 4 initial warp gates and 6 pool is considered all-in for the most part.

are you insane?
Have you actually been watching ANY of Idra's play?
I've seen all his matches in the GSL so far and let me put it this way. He is making Koreans looks like Foreigners. His play is OUSTANDING and he has been varying his strategies significantly. If you honestly think Idra isn't on the level of Inca/Ensnare/Genius/Check then you need to go back to watching BW games until you understand RTS better. Also, "the other boxer", are you insane? That guy is practically a joke! Beyond that, need I remind you that Idra and SlayerSBoxeR have played games before and that Idra has absolutely ravaged him!?

Let me sum up my response in the following manner: I disrespectfully disagree with your assessment that Idra is weaker than other players in the tournament given that he has handily demolished every player that has stood in his way by an average margin of 150% supply and a 2 base edge. Watching any of his VODs within the last 3 months will show his mechanical strength on par with FELLOW SC1 pro-gamers (don't forget he was a Terran BW player on CJ Entus) and watching VODs from MLG and his Ro64/32 GSL games shows he is expanding out to incorporating different strategies in tournament settings. I predict Idra will probably make it to the Ro4 in his current form, but will end up taking a respectable 4th place behind Fruit Dealer, ITR/Hopetorture, and Genius.

Watch RO32 Idra vs OgsGon + Show Spoiler +
Idra demolished him. It wasn't even close. Taking out the no.1 player on arguably the no. 1 team in SC2 at the moment with hardly any effort...... I'd say he has a fighting chance to take it all.

If people played standard all the time then where do new builds come from? Seriously thats retarded logic. Respect to HuK for whatever his reasons were behind mothership rushing. Ppl like HuK become the inventors of builds for which standard players copy.

I like huk but I agree with idra that going mothership was quite silly.
As a competitive player you should do everything in your power to win, spending so many resources on teching up to a mothership was stupid.
When he did get it out he let it slide ahead and get sniped, if he was seriously doing that build theres no way he would let it get lost so easily.

Secondly Idra has really won me over as a player ever since watching him play in the beta, I love players who take the game seriously and practice hard, I dont think he was in this interview but I wish he wasnt as rude as he can be, I think being polite and sportsmanlike is an important aspect of being a professional gamer.

yeah I agree with Idra. Why throw away your chance for 2nd place and another shot at first and do some silly strat that basically cannot win.

and Idra isn't saying that huk was wrong for not playing standard. He criticized huk for doing a build to please the crowd rather than try to win. Huk basically knew that he was throwing the game away, which is retarded at the 2nd-3rd place match of one of the biggest US tournaments.

I agree with Idra, you shouldn't throw away chances just to try and make the game epic because thats not how epic is made.

MLG: So, the Mothership is viable against bio, although obviously not the safest choice.

HuK: Well, yeah, it’s not like I haven’t ever Mothership rushed before, and had I not lost my natural and actually used it intelligently I could’ve won. I’ve done it before against good Terrans. It’s definitely possible to do. I don’t think when Boxer was Nuke rushing people it was the "smartest" or "safest" build, but he did it anyway and won. I’ve just got to work on that second part [laughs]. Maybe not Mothership rushing every time, but I definitely want to be able to threaten my enemy with every unit/strategy.

HuK did not give up at all.

This interview just reaffirms how much I dislike idra, what a wankstain. I love how he BMs his opponents if he loses, AND if he wins. Apologize for playing that race! Huk's matches are 1000x times more interesting to watch. God bless your macro style, idra, but you are boring to watch.

I'm sure that with all teh fans who enjoy watching him play and the money he makes he cares about you liking huk's games more than his.
