Zenio will get 2 free points against PainUser.....
Aw so that menas idra isn't gonna make top 16 then T_T. That really sucks, wanted to see him win NASL
If he doesn't get top 16 he can still fight for a spot when they put the rest of players in brackets and the winner of each group gets a spot in the final 16.

dont understand this post. idra may not be completly "strong minded", but weak minded? imagine the pressure someone would feel if they beat MC, considerd one of the best players in the world, had 20 extra pages added to his fanclub over one day, and then had to face him again as the only foreigner left? would be incredible.
he obviously doesnt leave games crying, hes always had a very calm look on his face actually. the three zealot rush mc did to him on meta (was xel sorry, edited) is a great example of this. if he hadve panicked the game wouldve been over.
you say he BMs like a child. from what i saw he didnt BM once during MLG, and the only recent incident of BM is towards huk (obviously rivalry there, it goes both ways) and to people who provoke it.
could you please look at the facts before making a silly post like that. thanks.
He looks absurdly anxious to be withholding that much emotion...sure he's a baller, but he needs to experience more physical pain and growth before he can be considered strong-minded. He needs a skeleton to support his ego.
I just would have thought he learned his lesson with the Huk hallucination GG. Maybe the MMA GG will be the final straw that gets him to play his games out to the bitter end.
Idra has the skills to claw back into games from being behind. I wish he would.

"And it was also really fun because it looks like I'm creating a fun storyline with Idra, In reality we talk to each other often and our relationship isn't that bad, so that's why I'm able make provoking statements like that."
-MC to Milkis, in MC's fan thread
Yeah, I don't know if Idra feels the same way...otherwise he'd given him a friendly thumbs down, finger shake, flex, etc.
That's not really in Idra's character lol. Also I remember Idra saying in an interview in dreamhack that there's literally never as much drama as people would like to believe when asked about him and Huk being in the same taxi or w/e. I'm gonna go with the same line of thinking here and say people are overstating the MC vs Idra thing.
That leaves 40 leftover people. The bottom 10 are out. The other 30 have to play each other in a bracket system where the top 5 will get to play with the top 10 from the pools.
The last player is from the 1024 open pools to even out to 16
The thing I fear is that if IdrA doesn't make top 2 in his group, who he gets matched up in the brackets with could range from a goody/tt1 to MC/Ace/Naniwa -_-

Don't worry, he will have a big latency advantage over those guys

10 of them are the top 2 from each group

Whoa, I had no idea the open bracket was THAT tough. Any confirmed notable names in it yet?

Like he had with Zenio
I personally think IdrA will make it without any problems, but still I think that NASL is treated with lower priority by many players. It feels that NASL needs IdrA more then IdrA wants to be in NASL. True money is good, but IdrA dosn't need money THAT much. Live events have much more value right now (like MLG). We just need to wait and see - especially when NASL will go into LAN-type phase.
