Pretty insulting to geoff and tyler considering geoff is on the same team rofl. Go Idra. Geoff is more of a community person now. I actually like that some pros are going into casting. It gives a lot better cast quality. Tyler is slumping atm. idk too much about him practicing, but from what i hear, he is a bit lazy on practicing. It isn't that these guys are bad, but I would safely say that Korean/European protoss are better. kiwikaki, man... i dont watch much of kiwi, but from what I've seen, he needs a few more significant wins/placements under his belt to be considered a big name. he is close, but he needs to prove that he isn't just in a good streak. ......what Kiwikaki is like alot of NA players, regarded as good in NA and regarded as subpar in EU, which I think he is to be honest. What has he actually accomplished? Runner up in three major tournaments is pretty impressive...
This. Kiwikaki is one of the best foreigner protoss', there is no doubt about it. Idra was just being ignorant.

I don't think you got it right, he said that even though he was performing well, Kiwikaki wasn't GOOD.
He talked about a "stupid timing mistake" that kiwikaki made and let idra win a game he wouldn't have been able to.
Incontrol responded that people were humain being and thinks like that happen sometimes But i have the feeling that Idra is right : Even with mistakes and "lack of understanding" (i'm quoting him more or less), protoss perform well whereas Zerg never would
(Hope everybody understood me my english isn't perfect :O)

IdrA will be facing MC in his MLG group instead of Bomber due to VISA issues, holy crap. This will be ugly, or very very epic :D I hope IdrA gets his revenge from Dreamhack!
|
If I'm gonna be brutally honest, I think that IdrA won't triumph over MC just yet, a lot of it might come from the fact that he must've practised so much ZvT, and now getting thrown against a protoss will surely put him off a bit. I do expect him to at least take one game of him, and eliminate the rest of the contenders in his group, probably guaranteeing him a stay in the winners-bracket.

Yeah and that was just one game where the "stupid timing mistake" happened. He still won 2 games in that series.
And I actually agree quite a bit with Incontrol, especially considering how the game isn't that old yet, people tend to choke and make mistakes every now and then.

sign me up all the zergs are boss moon,idra rocks!

As much as I love EG, all that FXO talking to IdrA in MLG... With all the money the have, nice team house, infrastructure to send players anywhere, and a internet connection suposed to be good to any server... dont you see it could be a a good fit for him? He said that the bad from Korea was missing on other tournaments, and FXO could prvide that apparently, and probably a good salary aswell. As much as the idea sounds nice, I would be sad for SirScoots, that old man is da bomb :p

I'd swap the Idra fanclub for a Hobbes fanclub any day but there isn't enough content to make one.
P.S. I'd also transform this to a joint fanclub for Idra and Machine if it was up to me but I'm afraid my life would be in danger if I do.

I would make a little spoiler subtopic for Hobbes. That cat is so fucking cute.
Machine's also a baller. Not quite as much as the cat though.

FXO prolly is trying to recruit for mercenary duty in GSTL. Fly Idra over to compete for them,

I imagine after his loss to dde, and the fact that he only has terrans left in NASL, and he had strong terrans in his MLG group mean that he prob has been training his ZvT. His ZvP probably isn't being focused.
Well, then again, he says he doesn't practice all that much, but think about it more.
I'm guessing if anything he's practicing zvp, his zvt is solid, and terrans haven't been doing that much new stuff versus zerg recently, whereas protoss is still a pain in the ass if they get away with FE's.

Does anyone else think that IdrA is on a far higher level than most EG players?

I definitely agree, him and DeMu are without a doubt the most prominent members in EG atm, and it's a bit sad that IdrA often has to carry his team so much. Though Axlsav has impressed me quite a bit lately, but he is still not really there yet.

Count me in! It's all about the Gracken.

Man Bomber misses his flight and now IdrA will have to play MC? I feel bad for him, he has probably been working on his ZvT matchup so much in preparation for this as well as after his defeat to DDE. Hopefully he can pull something off against MC! IdrA fighting!!!

IdrA vs MC, ... Holy Mother!!!!

VVV you messed up on code. i didn't say that lol VVV yeah idras mentality towards everything isn't so much "how can I beat this one thing, this one player, this one map, etc" it's more "how can I beat this", and "how do I need to change the rest of what I'm doing to accomodate?" it's not, "how do I beat this player?", it's "how do I beat this race?". it's not "how do I play this map" it's "how do I play well enough so that the map doesn't even matter?"
as far as I can tell idra always takes the big picture into consideration
