Yeah, cauz when you actually think you could (or will) loose, you have way less stress and can play to your full potential ? I've always thought being too confident about yourself only leads to meaningless failure. That is not the case here. What I actually admire in IdrA is how, no matter what he thinks the odds are he maintains one thing always - focus on facts. He played the best he could regardless of the outcome, as if his only goal is to respond to what is going on in the game, not to think "oh no, I'm going to lose" or "alright, I'm going to win", but just evaluating the game at any moment and focusing on the GAME. I think a lot of people in his place would freak out over the option of losing code S and start sucking. He didn't because, as usual, he focuses on the facts. This is what people call him BM for (telling the facts as he sees them), but his fact-focus is what, IMO, played a big role in his psychological ability to take these games when many others would have failed. So, I doubt he was sitting there through the game thinking "oh I'm going to lose anyway" but instead he was only thinking of what was going on in the game. That is a great psychological achievement that requires readiness to accept facts as they are and respond to them. I thought it was awesome.

He is just a truthful person - when he thinks he is good he says so, when he thinks he's playing badly, he says so too. For whatever reason, people have a hard time recognizing an honest person when they see one - they think the person is either BM cocky or humble. | ||

He is always saying "I'm gonna win", hell he even said in an interview with Incontrol that he will finally give the GSL a winner that deserve the #1 spot... And it was for GSL 3. And now you have Idra saying "i was sure i was gonna loose"... and he played damn well. So please, look at reality, Idra is better when he don't view himself as the absolute winner, and actually play the game without theorycrafting on why he is better than his opponent. * How can you say that saying "I'm gonna give GSL a winner it deserve" when you only reach RO16 is "fact focus" ? You blow my mind. | ||

I was actually entirely surprised when Artosis asked my question. I just threw it in there for laughs since they kept going on about their love, etc. I never suspected it would be picked, and I was reading my book listening to the interview with my feet up on my desk and nearly fell backwards off my chair when he said my name. Love the GSL, and the nerd humor. Good stuff. And it's Noobert. =P | ||

Many people think he's bad mannered, and there might be some truth to that, but he tells it how it is, and is still humble and mannered in person. Overall a superb effort from IdrA, and I hope he will win the GSL and show the Koreans AND the foreigners, that we are just as good as the Koreans. Well, he tells it like it is, unless he's laddering, then he tells it like a bit of an ass. But he's still a great player. | ||
