Damn Idra way to go, I'm so happy the Gracken won the IEM.

He's entertaining to watch and this shows he still a boss. Even if he does BM alot I still think he's awesome to watch, Infact the BM just makes it more fun to watch.

His lows/loses from his BM makes the iem victory all the more tasteful and fulfilling!!

I didn't get a chance to congratulate you on your IEM win. I definitely agree that your series vs Puma should have been the grand finals, considering just how epic those sets were. However, still a great series, and I loved your play in the last match on Xel'Naga. Completely unorthodox for the win.

Just watched the Idra vs Puma VODs. Sick games! vElfi games in finals were so anticlimactic though :/

Idra's exact thoughts "i'll never leave a game early again"

Thanks for the VOD btw.

P/s: To be fair he did not leave the second game because he knew Puma had no econ/fully operating expos/scvs. Else he would have GGed earlier :p

Some of the best SC2 I have ever seen was Puma vs Idra in the semis. I know everyone else already wrote that but still. Hoping Idra does well in MLG so he can win at least a Code A spot. Australia has perfect time for GSL 7pm :D

Whoa both the Puma vs Idra game and the Matrix subway fight scene seem awsm

I like the game because not only is a game between teammates always cool, but Puma has been known as the strongest EG player for quite some time now, and for a teammate foreigner to beat him is a big deal indeed. Idra Fighting!!!

Saw the games vs puma now.. wow they were great!
Idra always got a really good early advantage and held on to it until the end..

Great casting btw.. Mr.Bitter and rotterdam do a very good work. Love how they like idra so much.. especially Mr.Bitter(he is clearly a fan of idra)!

Congrats to Idra on winning IEM! So glad he's finally won another tournament, this time with Korean invites. Needed this win, for a while he's lost his status as the top foreigner - even with his legion of fans, only placing 5th on that best foreigner poll sucks. Some people laugh him off as a candidate. Though I'm a fan, even I was beginning to think he had no chance at winning anymore, it almost looks like he gives up when the time comes...

I know he'll never look as invincible as he did back when he won MLG, but I do hope he can play to his full potential more often.

Saw the series against Puma live, was so glad to see him beat his teammate. I never liked Puma tbh, just seems like another abusive Terran to me (similar to Polt). Still waiting on the VoD's for the Elki series, curious how his ZvP looks like nowadays...

Anyway, I just looked at his group in IPL3, and it looks pretty bad... I can easily see him going 0-3 in this group, which would be a little embarrassing after the hype off IEM. I'm pretty sure the level of ZvT he showed against Puma won't cut it against theStC, and it surely won't against MMA. White-Ra's a toss up.

But if he surprises me by making it through, I definitely won't be doubting him again!
