I know someone who tore his scrotum because of an absolutely incorrect form on deadlifts.

Glad to know Polt is beating up on Stephano as well. That makes this Idra fanboi feel better :-)

if stephano is doing better then idrA, we should not necessarily feel bad about it :/

idrA, as competitive as he is, will mark Stephano as a target he needs to surpass.
imo its good for him to have targets because it will give him bigger motivations to get better

Outplayed? Shakuras Plateau is Terran favored map and it's really hard to dislodge a Terran on a map like that, especially when they play the "gay" defensive style like in the game. Idra didn't get outplayed; Idra didn't outplay Polt hard enough to win the game, because that's Shakuras Plateau. There's a difference. ^^

And I kind of agree with Idra in that Polt isn't that great a player. Not saying he's BAD, but compared to other Koreans he's really nothing special and he didn't play that well in the game in that VOD.

Yes that map is very Terran favored in the late game. The fact still stands that Polt multi dropped and killed Idra's late game economy. Idra didnt even send lings with his ultras and simply got outplayed.

Im as biased as they come when it comes to Idra, and you sir need to open your eyes.

You said yourself it's Terran favored late game. So for the Z to win he needs to outplay his T opponent, whereas the T opponent doesn't need to play as "well". Hence me saying that Idra didn't outplay Polt hard enough to win the game. The way I saw it, Idra trashed Polt for at least the first half of the game and then didn't put the nail in the coffin, partly thanks to the map.

Then Polt started during drops and killing bases and Idra didn't react well enough, probably (though mostly speculation on my part here) Idra was annoyed at how hard it is to kill a Terran on Shakuras. I guess he sort of meh'd it and stopped playing optimally (so yeah at that point he got "outplayed").

Feel free to disagree, either way I don't think either of us have a fine enough understanding of the game and/or Idra's mentality to be completely wrong or right on this one. ^^

I'm pretty sure IdrA is very capable with dealing with drops etc., according to the information i read above, he was most likely in a bad mood or is tired or something.

Well you see I'd love to see Idra beat MVP but it's MVP and I rate his TvZ the best in the world... in fact, I rate his XvZ the best in the world. Even with the crazy practice, well, you know, Slayers team has other Zergs too and I wouldn't pick them to beat MVP either. MVP practices vs Nestea regularly etc.

I also agree that Idras best bet is to beat Lucky and Nestea, I guess he MIGHT be able to take a game off MVP but two? That's really unlikely in my opinion though I'd be delighted if that happened.

Well, he surprisingly beat Bomber when he was considered one of, if not THE, best Terran(s), so I wouldn't be surprised if he beat MVP, or at least made him work for it.

The Bomber that he beat was a shadow of his former self. It was at the time when Bomber attended the Red Bull LAN around late September that he started showing noticeable signs of slippage, and that was a few weeks before Orlando. I'd be surprised if Idra could have beaten the Bomber of 5 months ago.

Either way, the SC2 metagame moves so fast that a player's results from just two months ago probably aren't relevant to the player's form of today. So, who knows. Hell, if MVP beats Lucky, and NesTea beats Idra, they won't even play each other.

Edit: well, that's not exactly true. I suppose MVP could lose to NesTea in the winner's match, but the chances of that happening are slim to none.
