Really, it just means that he played too passively, in particular in the 2nd game. Obviously, Gretorp and iNcontroL think that both Ret and IdrA are fantastic players. Don't give people the wrong ideas with something misconstrued. They must have missed the parts where ret was constantly doing ling runbys/etc to delay the push They didn't miss it, iNcontroL has a fetish for ling runbys I think - the runbys just really didn't do much of anything (unfortunately). Also, didn't ret do a big drop in Ace's base at one point? Or am I thinking of a different series?

Kinda interesting that Kiwikaki trains with Idra considering his choice words about ROOT and his questionable relations to some of it's members. Maybe good practice is > team pride

I think iNc and Gretorp (and many others) when they talk about passive play, they mean macroing up without disrupting the Protoss' bases and economy. When you don't hit them from multiple spots and put some pressure on them, any good one will build up that highly successful deathball. Then it's too late in most cases.
I do not recall a single time his ling runbys put any serious pressure or harmed the Protoss economy. I remember him running his lings to the 3rd once, start attacking it, but then had to run away seconds later when a group of stalkers came. That did practically nothing to disrupt HasuObs.

Today judging by IdrA's history, it was tonight. Idra apparently has the NASL match tonight so he was practicing with axslav and kiwi (1game though)

No one mentioned the game against RAIN, that counted as loss even though Idra won.
The famous pause-surrender to bug battle.net and cheat some wins.....

The famous pause-surrender to bug battle.net
It's hardly a bug, just simply pausing the game and hoping your opponent thinks you left and brings up the screen to exit. It can even happen accidentally when people miss the surrender button.

Its purposely pausing and leaving the game, thus giving the winner a 'loss'. I say 'loss' because even though Bnet said you lost, no points were taken away. It probably has to do with slow updates.

When you know that making these comands in rapid succession, in that specific order WILL make battle.net bug out, and use then purposedly to gain an advantage, it is bug exploiting.
If, for example, there was a bug that when you queue up 5 rines in a rax it gives you insta win, absuing this bug would be exploiting (and bannable) even though it is "just queueing rines".
And ladder does matter. Blizzard usually does the Blizzcon invites out of the ladder. And, as Artosis has said in the last SoTG, he thinks Blizzard will use the new GrandMaster ranking system for something, so it does matter.

From idra's twitter, regarding TSL3:
"lol its actually more frustrating to watch than to play. poor morrow."
From my own experiences, I agree completely! It can be frustrating to play against, but it's worse watching player you are rooting for lose to the same kind of things you do.

TT1: "who do you think you are talking to?" Idra: "some random maphacker from the real game who picks protoss so he can win"
Oh idra, you warm my heart lol

TT1 asked: "Who do you think i am"
