Well, he got Top32 for sure, I think.

That is the definition of cheese man ("Cheese most often refers to an unexpected strategy that relies in large parts on lack of information and/or psychological impact on the opponent.") Polt even cancelled the Starports when Idra was scouting them. The 2 port follow up is extremely cheesy and allin if he hasn't some incredible raven build in his mind. The problem is that not a single banshee was made that game. Idra died to a completely standard marine force without stim (not sure if shield or not). THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON HIS SKILL LEVEL. This was such a normal pressure by korean standards. Idra has to have encountered that on the kr ladder dozens of times. If idra wants to play the so called stephano style (actually it's ling infestor stephano didn't invent this at all) he has to defend like him. With 2 more crawlers he would have been safe against everything. He neither had them nor a baneling nest AND super late ling speed on top of that. | ||

I dunno if I missed it or what, but did IdrA even TRY to scout after he cleaned up the first pressure? Did he try more than once? | ||

Mostly of a 1 rax gasless expand though and often with stim. MVP's first game vs symbol on the iron squid as well. And to be honest. Which kind of push would idra have been able to hold with one spine, no speed and no baneling nest or roach warren. @VashTS: I'm hundred percent sure that he saw a significant amount of the marine force with the drone he had on the lower watch tower. Maybe he didn't catch the reinforcements and just expected Polt not to be aggressive with the amounts of marines he saw. | ||

Players finishing 1st-8th in the Winter Championship will be invited to participate in Spring Arena #1. 2. Players finishing 9th-80th in the Winter Championship will be invited to participate in the Spring Invite-Only Online Qualifier of their choice. 3. Winter Arena Players who fail to participate in the Winter Championship will be invited to participate in the Spring Invite-Only Online Qualifier of their choice. So IdrA clearly falls under #2, that's the next step. Now, there are two arenas for Spring, before the next championship (June 8-10) and I don't think it's been announced how you get seeded into pool play for that. Performing well in the Invite-only qualifier (top 8? top 16?) will probably get you into the Spring Arena #1. A good performance there would then either seed you into Arena #2 or into pool play. We'll have to wait to know the exact details though  | ||

This proves that he is still a world class player As much as I'd like to agree with you . T_T he played 4 series and lost against 2 amazing players, doesnt really prove anything. Kinda bummed he played so little this MLG. Would've liked to see him in pool play and tear it up like last year to show that he's still a top tier player. Well at least now that MLG is over and he's in the US we will get tons of more streaming from him... hopefully. | ||

We will also see him Monday (instead of Sunday, because of MLG) in IronSquid, where he will be playing against MVP (He is already out though, but hopefully we see a good performance) And of course he will be at IPL4 in Vegas in 2 weeks. | ||

My skin got that blotching red crap when I was really nervous. Wearing a hoodie and jeans might not help either if it got hot in the player area. | ||
