EPT+ an old shopped photo I'd missed. :D
P.S. I was wondering whether to add this as it is not stand-alone content but there's so many good lines that it has to be in the OP: IdrA, iNcontroL and KellyMilkies' alternative GSTL S3 Day 1 commentary

Hopefully this time he doesn't match up against MC too early (assuming MC's invited..) If he does, beat him!! Loved the idra and co commentary. Just placed GOM player over the black screen. | ||

Idra said it himself (before NASL match was shown) that he didn't practice at all for the week. believe it or not but a week of no playing, and then playing a player like sen, well your most likely going to lose lol. | ||

It's pretty common for idra to search for excuses / exaggerate This statement is based in fact. The other statement however , that IdrA hasn't practiced in a week because of casting for EG masters cup and NASL however, is not based in fact. /sarcasm | ||

If you go banes and they go roaches, and take no damage, you lose. If you fast expand, you have to make defensive units while they can spam drones early, as roaches cannot be aggressive until speed. | ||

That particular trait of him is part of his personality. So I do not know why you all want to concentrate on whether or not he had a fighting chance -- it does not matter because in IdrAs mind he didn't and that is all that counts to him. | ||

I feel that idrA has lost a bit of focus by casting and streaming. In no way do I blame idrA for losing to Sen but the excuse is just not acceptable. I had a bad day. I hate this game. ZvZ is total random. Sen is a gosu asian guy. These are all acceptable answers but not having practiced because of casting is just like a soccer pro saying he hasn't practiced because he was busy watching champions league. If idrA wants to become some destiny guy who plays mediocre and makes money with streaming and stuff (which is possibly more than you get from tournaments currently) I have no problem with that but I feel he then stays way below his standards. It's absolutely not a shame to lose a ZvZ bo3 against Sen but the excuse is one of the worst I have ever heard. :-( | ||

Players like Nestea and Dimage show that ZvZ is not a coin flip and normally idrA is VERY GOOD at ZvZ too. | ||

That being said, IdrA did play cheesy and Sen played cleanly. | ||

He won the first game with a nicely executed aggression, lost the second game with a poorly done aggression and then overdroned based on a decision that turned out to be wrong in the 3rd game. ...In other words it was a best of 3 between two equally skilled players. This over analysis is ridiculous. | ||

While yes he does make excuses alot this wasn't even an excuse he just didn't play for a week due to not being at home and was casting lol. Now don't over do what I said either. I don't know who's better sen/idra as both are monsters and would love to watch a bo5/7 of these 2 playing. Would be highly entertaining as both are strong players ^_^. | ||
