Congratulations to Idra for winning and congratulations to Nony for showing an awesome series!

I love how the people at CJ are "interested but don't really care" when Idra plays in some "foreign tournaments" but when it's the TEAMLIQUID STARLEAGUE the coach tells him to practice instead of playing a ranking league and even gives him someone to practice with. Just awesome!

"Download the spoiler-free torrent here."

Thats true. Those are spoiler-free torrents because 5 videos are uploaded even though 4 games were needed in that best of 5. In this series, as Hot_Bid explains, the 5th video is deemed a "dummy" video because it's been carefully designed to hide the fact that the Bo5 didnt go to game 5. So really, for someone willing to watch the whole series, there's just no way to tell how many games were played and thats how the whole concept remains exciting at all points in time.. For instance, after the 3rd game, when Idra is in commands 2-1, the last two games are still surrounded by mystery. Is Nony going to pull some huge comeback? Or is Idra just gonna win game 4? The only little hitch is the fact that the aforementioned "dummy video" is 6 bytes in size.

Learn to grow up and show some respect to your fellow competitors. Like really :/

When are people going to realize that having throwing a temper tantrum when you lose and bm when you win isn't cool..

Idra and Nony both take the bm trash talk lightly; so should everyone else.

Can't believe Idra managed to create yet another shitstorm with a single interview. Haven't people got used to it already? It's been years seriously. And in this case it's even worse, did anyone read Nony's posts at all? Anyway go Idra and don't get eliminated too quickly please. :>

The stream was really nice as well, thanks TLnet!

I can understand trash talk, but to be a dick like that in the interview is just un-called for and makes him look so un-professional

Not sugar-coating things while making jokes doesn't automatically make you a dick. It just means people who call you a dick are over-sensitive to comments that aren't even directed at them. Not like idra called your mom a stupid whore in the interview. He made jokes and didn't hold back.

I dont think it is fair that Idra can act like he only lost that one game because of some imbalance, I am fairly sure even artosis said the maps actually were favoured to him. (the last three).
No doubt I am going to be called a "european without a sense of humour" but i mean even if i enjoyed bm it was hardly creative stuff, just leaving the game without gg, oooh inventive, i mean maybe a bm one liner would have been funny, but that leaving the game was just pointless, why he didnt acknowledge that Nony played well is a mystery.
Furthermore is it not fair that you use abusive builds occasionly? I thought the better players complained about imbalances less? All in all I am pretty annoyed that Idra has such a large advantage over the rest of competition, with playing in korea for over a year, surely that is imba?

It is a shame, Idra probably deserves to win since hes put the most work into it, but still he doesnt deserved to be respected for it if he cant be mature and type gg, it is very simple just 2 letters.
Basically grow up Idra, it is a game, if you are pissed gg and leave the game dont just leave the game it just creates unnecessary tension. If you feel you should have won, and then lose, deal with it. You are a big boy now (figuratively).

For anyone who thinks idra is just dandy, i think it is a fair assumption that a) you are american or b) you are a glory hunter. If you are in group a, fair enough nothing wrong with a sense of nationalism, but dont enable Idra to be bm just because you are proud that your countryman is the best (foreigner). And if you are b) maybe you should judge character before you say Idra's bm is "so fucking funny", I think you will agree he is just a small prick with an over inflated ego.

GG anyways.
Idra is a stereotype gaming should try to avoid, not embrace with both arms open.

Great series, cheers to both the players.

I think one of the most pivotal moments in game 4 was actually when Nony sent 12+ zealots to deal with the 2 harrassing vultures at 7:00. Idra mentioned that in his interview, and it was obvious with the depot placements that he expected it. If he was able to hide his hand a little bit longer, perhaps things would have been different. But you can say that about anything i suppose..

I'm starting to like IdrA since he went to Korea, maybe Korea learn him some manners as well and in general to take things more lighty.
Terran in particular is a notoriously strong race for a no brain skillhand bot style.

how about c) because Idra's BM realy makes things much better than they already are.

Now tell me, which battle report thread would you rather read:
1) One that is full of "omg nice game", "you two sounded like best friends!!! ^_^", "awesome sportsmanship", "both of you are winners in my book!!!!". *insert carebare pictures*

OR

2) HOLY FUCK THATS FUCKING RUDE!!! ... GFY IDRA YOU BM TWAT!!! ..... YOURE SUCH A DICK SOMETIMES .... LOL WAY TO GO IDRA, *insert Idra's random comment* LOL CLASSIC!!! .........

Iono about you guys, but imo since this is not a gentle men league so I would have to go for 2.

What do you expect them to do, create a dummy file comprised of several megabytes of useless data? This is a waste of disk space, bandwidth, and peoples' time. I think they'd rather rely on people having the judgment not to check the file sizes. After all, tiny dummy files have been implemented for torrents of Korean series... for a while now.

Some torrent clients / file explorers will show you file sizes regardless, but that's just tough luck.

Ok first that is just not how a human being acts at all, for example, when you first meet people you do not be brutally honest, you do not say you are un-attractive little midget, no you say hello and greet them in a welcoming manner. Your two examples were gross hyperbole's the first one you made sound like a wet blanket, talking that is not how it would be. And the second one depicts everyone enjoying the bm which obv isnt true.

I agree humour is good, but he is our torch carrier he sets the example to the rest of the foreigner scene, and maybe a little bit of respect wouldnt hurt. And even if the other player doesnt mind doesnt mean i dont.

All i am saying, is a little maturity would be nice, even if you are going to be bm in your interview, you would still say he did the best he could with the practice availible, before the trash talking, so we know its all in good humour.
