[TSL] Idra vs Nony Results and Interview - Page 4

Before the next game began, IdrA asked NonY: did he feel guilty about playing like that on Andromeda? NonY merely expressed his love of the map, and next game was on!

While 12 nexus may be difficult to counter, you don't see Jaedong or Flash saying that their opponents "abused" x, y, or z to win. They don't make excuses, all is fair within the rules of the game, and whether or not the best player won, they don't bitch about it. It just doesn't make any sense to me why Idra always comes off as someone with a bad attitude, if he expects to make it as a pro he should consider his image (and keep the comments private, whether they are serious or not). It would increase the respect he gets from the community and other players.

It was also kinda a light-hearted comment on my part as inherently terran players hate 12 nexus. But in honesty, if someone goes 12 nexus versus you and you didn't 8 rax, and you both play at the same level till the game is over -- the terran will lose. So when you are analyzing a loss, it's hard to give much credit if you feel you played better but they simply had the better build and rode out their eco advantage. It's not like Idra called Nony a bad player (nony is really good and he acknowledges that). I would rather have a progamer be honest about how he felt, than give some sugar coated answers. What's the point of even asking someone about their thoughts if you get mad if they tell you how they feel?

IdrA[Media]:
Pretty good, I expected to win but he was playing pretty abusive strategies so I got a little nervous a few times throughout the series.

IdrA[Media]:
Second game he chose to take a freewin by going double nexus on andro. Got diagonal positions to make it even sillier. I timing pushed and killed his expo and a bunch of probes and won every battle, but then he made some units that kill everything and I lost. Critical moment there was him building his nexus. Very well done by him.

IdrA[Media]:
I expected him to play really abusive econ builds, the way he did on outsider and andro. I think cheesy allins would have given him a better chance but thats never really been his style so while I was aware of them I didn't really think he'd use them.

If he replaced phrases like "he abused X" with "he did this, and it was difficult for me to y" it would make him look much more respectable and level headed.
