I predict he will win 2:1. Idra will lose one game to some allin like 4gate blink stalkers or stargate play. He will outplay Cruncher in lategame, hopefully :> Cant wait for this! Anyone knows map pool?
Well the tournament map pool is Crevasse, Crossfire, Shakuras, Tal'Darim, Xel'Naga, Meta and Terminus, with no close land positions on Meta and old Shakuras with cross spawns only. Which they'll be going on though, no idea. Maps are supposed to be modified to not show results as well so eh yeah. Nice rumor nonetheless, just what I needed after another day of upsets ><
IdrA should have this really, but strange things can happen. I'm certainly a bit more tense after today, but then what IdrA game is complete without a little "oh shit oh shit oh shit he's going to die oh shi.. how did he crush that?"

I am pretty sure TSL is played on guest accounts to ensure it is spoiler free, so no, this isnt true

What part is not true? Him defeating Cruncher at Justin.TV invitational? - http://www.z33k.com/starcraft2/tournaments/217-justin-tv-invitational-2/brackets
I know TSL is played on guest accounts. I was responding to someone who's pointing out a comment made on 4Chan about him possibly having lost to Cruncher in TSL because of his match history, when he's only played Cruncher in one tournament where you can see it off his match history.

Idra is the last zerg hope in TSL

If you look at past GSL results, last zerg hopes have good chances. ^^

considering Cruncher beat checkprime and marineking in the fxopen invitational I doubt it was a walkover, but hopefully IdrA was able to win it

All-inning newbie beats a bad zerg and bad terran when they're playing with high latency. Hm yea that sounds like an accomplishment.

Worth pointing out: all-ins sometimes work really well on maps they're 'bad' on, because they're unexpected.
Idra has pretty good gamesense about this sort of thing, though.

Vods of the FXOPen with Idra up yet i can't find them link anybody?

To the person that said IdrA's match vs Cruncher was in jeopardy because Cruncher got farther in the FXO invitational: IdrA lost in the winners bracket to Strelok. Cruncher after dropping into the losers bracket, also lost to Strelok.
That whole tournament seems like a joke though. You've got some of the best koreans dropping games to foreigners I've never even heard of but it still looks as though a Korean is going to win it (Unless Socke makes it out of the losers bracket and takes it).

Im expecting to see a very different playstyle from Idra. Keep his opponents on there toes, and win with better mechanics.
