I hope there will be winner-interviews with the other semi-finalists (besides Nonys live-interview).

Forgive my ignorance, but what does this mean for the test of the TSL? I am fairly new to the Starcraft scene, so I am not too familiar with all the players. I just knew that Nony and Idra were both favorites to win, making this a really big match. Does Nony winning this mean he is the favorite to win? Or is it pretty "up in the air"?

idra doesnt play good when he s angry.

People like you more = favorite... duh?
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Idra is a very smart guy, there is no doubt about that. With that in mind, I really don't think that Idra was in the position to simply use his mechanics to win the series. Why? Not because of anything I have witnessed, but because of how he played the games. You guys need to keep in mind that Nony wasn't the only one going for unorthodox strategies. Idra did his share of fast expanding and of course the quick starport. I simply refuse to believe that if Idra was as confident in his mechanics being vastly superior as you guys make it sound. If he knew that was all it was gonna take to win, he would have just played standard. But he didn't. So given that we know he was playing to win, we can conclude he did not think relying on mechanics was the best way to do so.

It was obvious that Idra knew he was gonna have to play to win to beat Nony. Doesn't the fact that Idra basically just steamrolled his way through the bracket with standard play, yet made very big changes to his game in this series indicate that he knew it was a different scenario? It wouldn't surprise me if Idra was watching Nony stream almost every time he was. I knew if I was is Idra's position, whether I was confident or not, I would watch Nony's stream for any possible incite into his playstyle, strengths, weaknesses, current shape...Anything I could. And I think it was based on Nony's streaming that he chose to play the way he did.

To conclude my thoughts, this was not some kind of randomized cheese by Nony winning a series. Idra also made the choice to spice up his game. And he wouldn't make a choice to put himself at a disadvantage.

my respect for idra has risen so much, he gg'd in every game, and didnt do the same robotic shit, he KNEW he'd have to step up his game to win, unfortunately there was some bad luck and blunders involved IdrA has a hardcore fan now though
and i was always a nony fan <3

i would love to see a (Z)(de)Mondragon vs (P)(us)NonY finals.
but first (Z)(de)Mondragon has to beat (Z)(tw)Sen in a zvsz. and thats not exactly his best mu. anyway he doesnt seem to play p against zergs anymore and his zvz is way better than it used to be back then.
and anyone who can beat (Z)(kr)sAviOr should be capable of beating (Z)(tw)Sen as well.
