ehm, where is Idra actually? No twits, no streams. Is he atm so devastated after dh?
|
I doubt it, and he shouldn't be. He didn't win, but he played well. Probably just a post-tournament/travel break.

Not too point out the painfully obvious here, but w/ IdrA's group draw in MLG.. all it would take is a group win + winning one champ round for him to make Code S for his return to Korea.

He'd have to place higher than Boxer and MC too, not an easy feat.

If he can get number 1 in his group, which is possible, then he will be in the top 4
If he wins against his opponent in the top 4, which would be hard, he would be guaranteed top 3
If he losses, then he will play one more series, and the winner of that gets third. Anything past third is meaningless
Considering his group, he should really practice non-stop for this, it's the best shot he will have at a free Code S spot he will probably ever get, and going through the up and downs probably isn't something he wants.
The bad thing is that I think in the top 4, Group A faces Group D and B faces C
So even if he wins his group, DRG, MC, Huk, or July will be in his face.
Good luck, hope you he can succeed :D

MLG Orlando is Oct 14-16th soooooo.... I had he dream he got the Code S spot last night. It was a good dream.

I'm pumped for IPL3 coming up. Get to see the Gracken in person!
|
Idra has taken 4th even when playing only decently. He can definitely take Top 3! At the very least, a Code A Invite. Go Grack! Good luck!

Didn't Idra say he was just gonna be in Korea for a month or so?

You cant count that loss against deezer as he is a well know stream cheater, Idra still can beat him most of the time but with basically map hacks deezer is going to take a game off him every now and then. That game vs Catz was sick, idra was so incontrol of that match. i dont think there was ever a point where he was any danger in that match. Dealt with that one base infestor with such ease. He only lost about 5 to 8 drones when catz had infestors out and he was so far ahead economically that was small change. Should get banned for spreading lie
u should be banned from everything basically

He did say that but he hasn't laid out any concrete plans so it might be for longer, especially if he gets back in to GSL.

Idra vs Hwangsin for the next Nasl match. He should prolly win that, unless Hwangsin does something cute(Which is really likely)

last time they played it was a BO3 on ladder when idrA Streamed a long time ago.
if i remember it correctly idrA won the first, lost the second and quited the third because it was a close position match.
i think hwangsin won one of the fights with cheese, but im really not sure since it happened a long time ago and i dont remember it precisely...
i hope for idrA will win it.

Idra was really vocal about Hwangsin when he casted his games in the EGMC. He considers Hwangsin to be nothing but a scrub who only does all-ins off of one or two bases, so Idra should be well prepared to deal with him.
