I'd also wonder why everyone is saying how "easy" IEM was compared to Code A when idra was a very solid Code S player, and didn't even make the semis. | ||

I'd call it a good decision. I'd also wonder why everyone is saying how "easy" IEM was compared to Code A when idra was a very solid Code S player, and didn't even make the semis. IdrA lost to Ace, a korean player originally from GSL, whom IdrA said was probably the one person who would knock him out before IEM started. It can't really be disputed that IEM < Code A, I know it's fun to watch Europeans play but the fact of the matter is the skill level just isn't there - yet. | ||

And idrA's personality is such that he regularly makes such statements, and they turn out to be only 80% true. Fact remains that a Code S players lost in the tournament - the Code S player who's spot is up for grabs here - and that stands for something as far as whether or not these guys deserve the chance. | ||

I'd call it a good decision. Really? So which "various other tournaments" which Idra attented where happening during this GSL season? Right, none besides IEM. The only reason for Idra to leave GSL before and not after this season had to be IEM. | ||

He can beat everyone in the GSL, no one deserves the Code S spot more than him imo. I assume you are talking about Ace, and I agree. He has been so overshadowed by his other teammates who are in the same boat as him (Bomber and Squirtle both being considered very good players yet under performing as Ace is) but he feels to be more solid than the other two from what I have seen. I really think he is deserve of Code S (as well as his teammates) so I hope he can get in from this opportunity. Also, I like his personality from his interviews.  I really hope he does well. | ||
