idra/nony was a pretty sick series and all the trashtalk really made it that much better

anyway are chill/day9 are commentating the finals? they complement each other pretty much perfectly and provide more actual starcraft commentary than tasteless/artosis

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 was rooting for Nony in this series because of Idra's history. Everyone always said "oh, if you'd met him in person blah blah," and I thought that was a lame excuse.

Here, however, I was totally proven wrong -- Idra gged on every game (and Nony didn't!). Beyond that he played interesting build orders, and he showed off some really impressive marine micro on Destination.

I've always wanted to root for Idra as the one foreigner (and fellow American!) in Korea, but the manner thing always stopped me. After this series, definitely an Idra fan.

In other news, Nony clearly likes attacking with early dragoons in PvT. We've now seen it twice on Destination (Tarson, Idra), and once on Fighting Spirit. You don't really see anything more than a token potshot at a supply depot in the pro scene, however. I assume that's because the Terran has a "theoretical win" if their micro is good enough. That said, is there any foreigner whose micro is that good? I guess it doesn't matter with no Terrans left in TSL2.

Nony got disconnected... he didn't leave without gg'ing

In fact, you could say that he was really gm about the whole thing since he agreed to concede the loss because he was far behind.

I like tasteless/artossis more! They are at least funny , not just boring analysis

btw What is Idra trying in korea if he could´nt defeat non-korean?

Agree! Tastosis is totally up my alley in terms of commentating. I don't mind chill either, but I really can't get myself to like day's ways^^;. Starcraft analysis is great but when you get stuck for 2 minutes to talk about how one overlord is moving slightly downward and how that player's so much better because of it I roll my eyes. Especially when the next game the other player's overlord is the better one =P. Not saying he doesn't have a point, just not the kind of "in depth" commentary I'd like to hear. I cherish the contributions from all four though!

I must've skipped the part of the cast where that was mentioned. Thanks for clearing that up -- it did seem like a somewhat early tap-out, though Idra had a major advantage.

What a weird series -- a Brtiney Spears build ("Oops! I pressed on escape!"), a disconnect, a hard BO counter, and two extraordinarily successful proxies.

Can't wait for the semis.
