This event really sold me too, the play was interesting and the commentators were good. Live events are so much more fun to watch.

I haven't run across any TLO-NaDa reps, I suspect they are never to see the light of day.

I'm pretty sure watching two hot girls come out with nerds around their arms was the most awkward thing I've ever seen.

I can't wait to watch all the vods, and then study the replays after!

Also, is Artosis really that tall? He makes Idra look tiny, but idk how tall Idra is either.

Don't know if anyone already mentionned this, but it feels like you've got a problem with the TLO v. Morrow Vod link. It actually sends you to some 7 min video.
The actual link is : http://tv.esl.eu/de/vod/22341

Besides that, thanks a lot for the recap and the links !

I can confirm what Krallin just said. Link to TLO vs. Morrow VOD should end in 22341 not 22342.

I think IdrA looks a little bummed there because apparently 1st and 3rd place come with booth babes, but 2nd does not.

Poor IdrA.

To be completely honest, I didn't really have a favorite or someone that I was really pulling for in this tournament aside from DeMusliM and TLAF-Liquid'TLO. That being said, I was excited when IdrA made it to the finals, because frankly, he belongs there as indisputably one of the best (if not the best) StarCraft 2 players in the world. I was also really excited about MorroW making it to the finals as well, because I know that he wasn't originally invited to the tournament, but he had a brutal series of professionals to fight through to make it to the finals, and he played very well throughout the whole tournament. With all of that taken into account (i.e. my relative lack of bias toward who would become the champion), I would just like to state that I feel bad for IdrA for the way he was treated after the finals by the tournament itself.

From what I could gather, he wasn't treated nearly as well as he deserved. His interview was horrible, with the interviewer basically saying that IdrA did well to come in second, but he really needled the fact that he wasn't in first very hard (almost shamelessly) in front of everyone. Additionally, the interviewer basically made it out that Zerg players will always be inferior to Terran players, in terms of their strategies, even though IdrA made it to the finals by besting many amazing Terran players along the way. Finally, the interviewer basically brushed IdrA off by claiming that he really didn't have anything to say to him anyways, even though he came in second place. All of these things added up to a painfully awkward and really saddening interview in front of a very large crowd after a defeat that would be tough for anyone to swallow after working so hard to make it to the finals. Combine this poor interview with the fact that IdrA didn't even get to stand with a booth babe at center stage (whereas the third place winner got one).

Don't get me wrong, I'm not IdrA's biggest all-time fan, but he deserves respect for all of his accomplishments and talents with StarCraft I and II, and I feel like he deserved much better than he was treated with at the end of an otherwise wonderful tournament.
