Poor idra, I will remember this moment forever he cheesed jinro, he was so desperate to win, and I think he deserves to win a gsl...but he needs to stop being so fuming stubborn and leaving games for no reason.

Sorry for the confusion but I did not mean to " bash" idea, I was being sirious, I guess im going to need to pick my words very careful next time, sorry.

Please stop bashing Idra in his own thread, go find another thread to do that, there is plenty of that on TL.

How did you watch those games and not realize that he did not do it out of desperation to win? Did you watch the Korean stream or with the sound muted or something? It was clearly stated that the build was pre-planned.

If you don't cheese every now and then as a progamer, you'll be easily cheesed.

Too bad IdrA had to face Jinro at all, but at least we have a non-korean (a macro one at that!) really high in the bracket, and with a strong position to win!

Best of luck next season IdrA, I'll be rooting for you.

IdrA hwaiting! Unlike a lot of people who bash him for the metal games, I think that keeping true to your ethos and beliefs is an integral part of being a gamer. You don't get to 160 pages worth teamliquid praise and love by just being another good well mannered-gamer. Those come, entertain us for a while and then banish. IdrA is one person that not only is incredible at the game but also provides that little, extra thing that I think every fan appreciates: character. Sticking to your words even when facing an exit at Starcraft II's most prestigious tournament is not stupid, immature or anything like that, it's quite a commendable act.

So, keep it up IdrA, for what little or next to nothing that it may be worth, you've earned yourself another fan

I kind of feel bad for Idra even though I'm a Jinro fan. Hopefully he can come back even stronger next season and that we don't get this stupid foreigner eliminating a foreigner. Unless it's the final of course.

TotalBiscuit has uploaded "Fear of the Grack" an Iron Maiden parody, and I figured it was worth linking in this thread. <3 IdrA!

Original thread can be found here.

Agree they shouldn't get any special treatment. Its frustrating but can't be helped. If they get special treatment then the whole tournament would have to be seeded so that team kills wouldn't happen.

I mean just for drawing the groups it's not like they're getting easier groups that way
EDIT okay I agree I'm fine with total random but I think they should find a different way some time in the future

I'm a terran fanboy but definitely like Idra's style. I was rooting for Jinro but hope that you advance further next season!

Ok I understand IdrA usually leaves like that, ie ragequits, but why didnt he just make a roach warren or something, he could have won

Terran has made 2 bunkers Zerg is now on 1 base Zerg has to change his tech path to beat the bunkers of which the Terran can salvage and lose maybe 2 marines. Terran is down 100 minerals with ANY Tech path he wants to go. Zerg is down a Roach Warren possibly a Spine Crawler larvae starved unless he wasted 300 mins on an inbase hatch and with many useless units.

If you can't do those things in an Idra thread, where can you?!
+ Show Spoiler +

Blizzard's forums lol

Anyways, I think people are underestimating how bad a position idra was in on Metalopolis. It would have taken way too long to break those bunkers, his expansion would have been massively delayed, and he would be almost guaranteed to lose within the next 5 minutes to any number of possible attacks Jinro could have launched.

We shouldn't be asking why he gg'd so fast, we should be asking why there wasn't a drone patrolling the ramp.
