[TSL] Idra vs Nony - State of the Union
January 9th, 2010 17:52 GMT
Washington (TL) -- According to latest reports from the Pentagon, America is now at war. While negotiations between Commander-in-Chief of Terran forces in the North, Greg "Idra" Fields and Protoss Executor of the South, Tyler "Nony" Wasieleski have been going on for weeks, our defence correspondent HnR)Insane now reports that discussions reached a stalemate early this morning and that both parties have stated that they have no choice but to resort to military action.
Although rumours of war have been afoot for weeks now, this sudden call to arms was certainly a shock to many. While Internet forums ran stories on the apparent conflict as early as yesterday, it was only a few hours ago that Executor Nony himself issued a statement from the Protoss fleet's headquarters in San Antonio, Texas.
"The Terrans would like you to believe that actual negotiations took place. This is false information. The Protoss do not negotiate. We eradicate, and we're here to rid this nation of redneck scum. Make no mistake - this is war. "
"Issuing statements, a very useful skill toi have," was how the Terran press conference began in New Jersey, just minutes after Nony's statement. Speaking from the Dominion headquarters, Commander Idra assured the world that the Protoss threat would not go unmet.
"The Terran Dominion does not delight in the use of force. Yet, when faced with cheesy bulldog builds and the inherent unfairness of the 12nex, we have no choice but to bring out the 2facs. The South has resisted all diplomatic measures and must face our wrath. Siege tanks are being deployed as we speak."
Our reporters on the ground at the Terran tactical support headquarters in Seoul, Korea say that troop movement has been heavy for the past forty-eight hours and that scores of dropships have been in and out of the base, ferrying forces to the front lines. Although it is too early to tell, it does appear that the Dominion does have an advantage in terms of pre-planning and overall readiness. "This force has been on a war footing for well over two years," says Artosis, a Military Analyst who will be on the scene when the first shots are fired this Saturday. "Commander Idra has been anticipating this threat for a while now, and is no doubt ready and eager to deploy his forces. Although Executor Nony can by no means be ruled out, I have to give the edge to the Terrans in this encounter."
Protoss preparations for this battle, on the other hand, have been done in secrecy. While their psi powers have long made them an elusive race, not even a whiff of Executor Nony's battle plans have emerged from San Antonio during the past few weeks, a sure sign that extreme precautions were being taken to keep them under wraps. As the weekend approaches, rumours of well thought out plans circulate like wildfire, with every armchair analyst having something to say about the Protoss race's chances. When contacted for comment, a Protoss spokesperson had nothing to say except, "the South will rise again."
This battle, of course, is for more than just honour. While the victor will gain possession of the land they now stand on, the loser will be forced to take to the skies and duke it out for survival. The stakes are high, the lines are drawn, and in a few short hours America will be at war.

Awwwwww yeah! Looking forward to watching this - good luck to both NonY and IdrA
|
|

Omg, it's 2 in the morning yet i'm still waiting for this game

Although Nony stands no chance against a Korean-trained IdrA on generally macro-heavy maps, I hope he can still provide a solid performance.
|
|

i hope that Nony will be able to take 2 games or more unlikely
|
I think NonY will pull an upset. Altough I wouldn't mind seeing him play another game in the group stage since I've never seen a game by NonY that was boring
|
TL is doing an awesome job. Very professional organisation.

Only if I was getting pizza by the time the match started and not 2 hours later, my life would finally be complete.

I ran out of beer and chips, but am countering with sprite, sushi, and Belgian chocolate.
And no I'm not about to watch a Lifetime channel movie marathon.

|
|
i wish the stream would start.
|
|
Hm, is the "rat" part in pokerstRATegy slightly bolder than the rest of the text in the banner in front of the stream? Or am I just imagining things?
A more negative word for the strategy (shortstacking) teached by PokerStrategy is rat holing, so huh.
|
There's music but no video yet?
|
Where is the stream link, i dident bather to fix the media player since i saw some admins post about a stream link.
|
hopefully no delays...very excited to watch this.
|
Get.Midikem, just get wmp, it only took around 10 seconds on my computer.
And it seems that it's only music right now, no stream yet.
|
Black screen + buffering are not rly nice
|

If people are having problems just make sure you have WMP 11 and open the link in internet explorer
|
scroll up to the timer, theres the linklink
|
Is it just me or is the volume kinda low (on the music at least)?
|
volume is also a bit low for me, but video looks nice
|
|
|
I think you gotta wait a bit BMSL. If you've waited for over 3minutes then idk what's up.
Maybe they're waiting for the song to finish to start.

yeah the volume is super low, hopefully someone can see this and change it. for anyone who can't hear the music, it's probably because it's just that low >_> try turning your volume to max.

Use VLC, I see the splash screen

Everything's set up! Now we wait a few minutes for everyone else to get set up.

The low volume might be intentional for the splash screen.

Works with Media Player 9 from Opera for me. (Just in case someone's been wondering if these are necessarily problems...)
|
|
I LOVE this so much. This is just so hyped and epic. I can't wait.
"Issuing statements, a very useful skill toi have," was how the Terran press conference began in New Jersey, just minutes after Nony's statement. I lol'd pretty loud right now.

i hope NonY can put up a fight....we need EPIC!

sounds funny, do they broadcast from the cave ?
|
|
I'm getting perfect video and audio quality so far.
|
Where are these win-loss stats from? The ladder stage?
|
ready for some great starcraft! my bet is that idra wins just because of more practice recently, and he has his team to help him prepare for it. however you never know what might happen, nony might pull out ahead.
|
|
wait idra won the valor tournament?
|
|
what is the channel? I can connect but I dont find the channel.
/join #teamliquid ?

Unless Nony cheeses hard, he is getting crushed terribly

There's a part on the loop for the audio where it sounds like it's getting quieter and I'm all like "Oh Shit! It's starting!" but then it's not
|
Constantly buffers here, unwatchable.
|
stream both vid and audio running just smooth and fine for me
|
I think Nony will be playing standard at first to see just how he matches up with Idra. If he loses, maybe he'll switch it up, but I will be surprised if he starts out with some sort of cheesy play.
|
#teamliquid is the channel, but I dont what command to put since I dont use irc since ago years
tried /join #teamliquid but nothing
|
for ppl who have issues with video change it to fullscreen and it might work then
|
Andromeda is the only map Nony can win at, imo.
|
|
Perfect quality here gogogo Nony

Wait, Video isn't showing up for me but Audio is. Am I missing something?

Looks like there is a bit of lag in the replay.
|
|
guys replays little laggy, make higher latancy ~_~
|
video is there, open the stream in VLC or GOM etc.

is the game speed @ fastest? looks slow.

is there any frame drop or it's just me?

i think actual players in replay are lagging

I am very very impressed with this. The unit/mineral/gas counter is so slick. And the stats/map information before the match looked so polished, really good stuff.
|
yeah, i cant see shit :[ its so laggy. poor poor quality!!!!! comon artosis/chill help us out
|
It's ih-drah? I always pronounced it eeee-drah...

Wow, the counter, logo, and timer + everything else looks great! good job teamliquid

Wow, Nony complete unprepared for this.

don't know if I want to see all 3 games with that lag
|
I can only hear sound, any help?

Observer isn't as good as Korean the ones we see for OGN / MBC but it isn't bad.
Timing push from IdrA was so good holly crap. No hesitation. Awesome
|
Afaik it is the minerals gathered in the last minute. this looks fair i felt like idiot with this question but now i see that not everyone was sure

Good game! Nony's refusal to add cannons cost him.

It's minerals per minute and he had 150+ supply all the time, how the fuck are you going to have more than that when you're attacking everywhere all the time?!
|
The observer really needs to wake up lol, he's missing half of the action.
|
|
Nony has to take this game or hes gone -_-
|
Every time I watch Idra play a foreigner it is pretty damn boring, he is on a different level from being in Korea. All this practice he gets in Korea and he can still only beat foreigners.

Because both of the commentators some times talk about thinjgs that can't currently be seen.

Idra simply outclassed him, expecting DT drop or another rape

What's up with your attitude?
Idra had 8 bases, 190+ supply and like 100 gass, what do you want him to do, sacrifice units to build marines and vultures? In addition he was leading with what, 150 supply? He could rally goliaths and win.
You will probably see Idra play better when he is actually pressured, not that I'm a fan or anything :p

Couldn't read what they said due to the banner in the middle...

its gotta be july, i mean no other zerg has a month name...right...right?

they should put the sound effects volume in the game a bit higher.
|
yep sounds reasonable taken from last check to this check thats what the green means
|
|
who are the 2 casters artosis chill or who casts there ?
|
|
|
Artosis is spelling dragoon like "dry goon", is this the correct spelling?
Sounds funny.
|
bah, nony not focused, can't lose goons like that in early game.
|
laggy stream

disregard the 4000 minerals and supply thats not maxed, thats nice artosis What's up with your attitude? Idra had 8 bases, 190+ supply and like 100 gass, what do you want him to do, sacrifice units to build marines and vultures? In addition he was leading with what, 150 supply? He could rally goliaths and win. You will probably see Idra play better when he is actually pressured, not that I'm a fan or anything :p Play better? No, he is not Flash. That was pretty fucking impressive for a foreigner.
Idra obviously has to play harder and better when he goes deeper into the tournament, never said he played bad or that he did not impress.

lol he lets his depot burn down

fuck yeah who needs depots

Chill should stop using the word cute. It sounds too derogatory.

Every SC fan felt the same thing when seeing that attack from Nony: deja vu of Jangbi/Nada. Truly fantastic push break.
|
Shit Nony up 70 supply at one point
|
Hmm Nony didn't bother to take any additional expansions, though...
|
|
idra pushes too fast sometimes, he lost like 4 tanks for nothing during 1st push just becouse they were in front of vults, now his siege was late as hell and vults didnt plant a single mine
|
I think Artosis has a problem with counting.
|
wow amz storms (the great equalizer)
|
hes up almsot 80 supply right now haha
|
"But this is the Poker Strategy TSL the biggest starcraft tournment in the world" - Artosis
lol?
|
"Nony is going to be rolled over soon, he can not deal with the terran ball when they both have 4 expansions."
2 seconds and 20 perfectly placed storms later..
"Nony has double the supply, he could very well win the game right now right here."

Its not biggest sc tournament in the world but its def biggest outside korea

I think he played it correctly. If he took more expansions, Idra could have secured 3 o'clock. Instead, he crushed Idra's last attempt.

Wow, what a start of TSL !!!
|
|
wowowow I still have goosebumps from those storms hahaha!
|
Wow amazing storms.
Really thought Nony had lost that.
|
If Idra had does upgrades going that attack wouldn't have been so one-sided .
|
NO GG HAHA if its not a rule, you don't have to type that, stop pointing that out already god
|
That was sick comeback. Now is a great time to cheese for Nony.

nice game nony!! your storms was.. HEAVENLY AMAZING!!
you just shut up all in the comments =)
i really hope you won this series.

Yeah but what I'm trying to say is that wasting time is (to me) more BM than just quitting. I don't remember ever seeing Idra staying in the game after he knows it's over.

bottom left guy is cheesing

Idra just let nony win the second game, so nony becomes confident and then idra can crush his hopes and dreams.

SHUTTLE WITH HIGH TEMPLARS GO DOWN, manages to get a couple psi storms off though. LOT of dragoons attacking Idras third, Idra forced to go back and take care of it.

SCV's were the winners of this set..the surround on the goons during the bulldog..and during the attack on idras 3rd...

Quite a few lucky breaks for Idra on that last game (especially that SCV transfer), but he played really well through the entire series.
It's really obvious that he's improved quite a bit...especially in decision-making skills and timing. I'll be looking forward to see if anyone can stand a chance in the RO16.

Nony played good but Idra was better, awsome games.

Very enjoyable series imho Never seen NonY play before, looks like he will go far. Here's to more from both of them.
|
Games 3 and 4 were razor-tight at points, with a little more luck Nony coulda taken it 3-1 IMO.

PS Although everything was great, I still would love to see triple commentaries like in 1st TSL . 1 more voice makes the atmosphere more exciting and its somewhat more 'colorful' then ^_^
|
Great work guys. And nice games, gj Idra!
|
btw the stream was perfect
I completely agree.
And as i said in the other thread, it felt weird not seeing arbiters at all. Maybe they would have changed the situation a little bit.
The game on destination frustrated me so much since Nony was in such great shape and in a little advantage and IdrA comes with that great timing attack and spoils everything,
GG idra, who can stop you now?
AND SAY GG FOR GOD's NAME!
|
In game 4 the SCV transfer timing helped IdrA a lot,i think NonY could have denied 3rd easily if all the workers weren´t in front of the tanks, that and loosing the shuttle with HTs to 1 goliath (that was poor control by nony). IdrA played very well and he played his style. I´m looking forward to see nony play in this TSL, he is back again!
|
so the stream was done with the new replay sistem? I'm confused abit
|
Btw, how do they get the mining/pop info to show like that? Is there a plug we cand get? I always wondered.

iirc there were a lot of high expectations for him (maybe too high considering he wasn't in Korea for very long at that point, along with the difficulties we've since found out that he had while at eSTRO), and he was considered a big contender for the title, but not the clear favorite like he will be for this TSL.

Game 2 was hawt.

Gotta say the stream was awesome, wished they'd gg sooner though games dragging out 5+ minutes longer than they should are tiresome but i guess im spoilt by never having watched anything other than the pro's. Also i was under the impression that this was gonna be a live broadcast? but it seemed like it was replays from the interface? anyway great stream cant wait for more :D

Nice little intro, I enjoyed it!

Thx. Nice games with nice commentary. What more could you wish for?

It is really sad that IdrA is so disrespectful to other players. I mean no gg? Really? Not to mention all the other things he pulls out all the time... Its really sad to see such a good player have such a terrible attitude, and for that I sincerely hope he loses the TSL.
|
spoiler free VODS saved my hangover, cheers TSL staff

Thanks for such a well organised matchup. Really enjoyable.
2 IdrA...no gg no love man!
