NesTea < MVP Surely you know how ridiculous this post is. IdrA is not good enough to beat Mvp or NesTea, and you actually think he'll beat both of them?
Have you seen IdrA play in the past month? He streamed a little around christmas, but after that, once a few days ago for like 2 hours. How do you know how good he is? How do you know he hasn't gotten much better since living in a house with some of the best Korean Terrans in the world? The ridiculous post here is the one simply dismissing one of the best foreigners in the world. He has nearly beaten Nestea before in a somewhat similar circumstance in the global invitational, who's to say he can't do it again, but instead of almost winning this time, actually pull it off?

I am willing to bet there will be a significant number of americans waking up to watch GSL just because IdrA is playing again. Anyone who says IdrA isnt good enough to play is daft. He has been streaming rigorously, and you all have yet to see what he can really do. He never streams what he is capable of doing. In fact I bet he only plays ladder just to make sure his mechanics stay in tact. If there was ever a foreigner to take the GSL, it would be IdrA or Naniwa ( and I dont particularly care for Naniwa). Good Luck IdrA, I will be watching/rooting for you!

Unlike IdrA, NesTea actually won when they met in MLG. Who's to say he can't do it again? Additionally, the zerg lineup available to Mvp is much stronger than that IdrA is practicing with, so although IdrA can take advantage of Slayers' good terran players, Mvp can't be expected to lose for that reason alone. On that same note, Slayers does not have a very extensive zerg lineup (Min and Yugioh?), so I don't see what basis you have to say that IdrA's ZvZ is good enough to match NesTea, or even Lucky. Also, you can accuse me of dismissing "one of the best foreigners" as much as you want, but you're dismissing two of the best players in the world.

Final match, game 2's recap was amusing.
Yesterday's supposed Group of Death was rather disappointing, can only hope that today's will much better, despite the ZvZs.
|
okay.. can someone explain to me what the Elephant is symbolic to?
I obviously missed out on this in earlier reports...

I'm watching tonight to learn how to play TvZ 
Really hoping that IdrA can pull through though

Someone better call child protective services for poor Elly

Mvp and Lucky advance.
MAYBE IF HE'S LUCKY LOL

As Long as Idra doesn't get fourth and has to play a possible match against HuK as a result later on, I will be happy with the results.
|
LOL
I love the GTFO sign to the elephant.
Honestly I really felt indifferent who went on yesterday
...I just really wanted forGG to lose to shut up all the BW-hype.
|
I believe in you Idra, but somethings cant be overcome.
|
I gotta say I had a pretty big smile on my face when I woke up and saw that ForGG got last in that group. Hopefully it will knock some people off that bandwagon.
Also, Grack is back and ready to kick some ass!
as long as Lucky doesn't make it through tonight will be pretty good though.
|
Idra Hwaiting!
He can take Nestea EZ.
|
Hmmm, unless IdrA practices massively against Slayers Coca, I don't see him beating Nestea or Lucky. Min and Golden r not there yet I think. I doubt he'll be regularly beating SlayerS Terrans, what more IMMvp.
So Idra either 3rd or 4th. Hope for the best though!
|
Oh man, rough group.
MVP definitely making it through with 1st in his group... I'd have to agree that Nestea and MVP make it through but I'd love to see Idra get to group stage 2.
|
So glad to see the elephant get told off last if only because of how damn annoying and rude the BW community is, hopefully our pros can keep standing strong against the new kids on the block.
It will be interesting to see how MVP plays tonight as I figure if he sticks with his standard style that there may be someone in the slayers braintrust who's broken it down and found a timing for Idra to hit.
Nestea even slumping is still Nestea, if he can beat MVP he'll advance for sure and even if not he still stands a decent chance.
I can see Lucky just living up to his name and with a good roll of the build order dice have a breakout preformance tonight and beat MVP/Nestea all in a single evening.
As for Idra (imo) it all comes down to if he's got some super detailed timing waiting for MVP, if he goes for his standard macro gameplan I don't see him standing a chance vs Snipe MVP and I'm not sure he can count on winning 2 ZvZ series versus players of that caliber (with that said though the made up quote is extremely hilarious and could very well come to pass).
|
I'm not to familiar with Lucky, is he any good?
|
Wow! What a great event it turned out to be. So happy to see MC back winning matches, and congrats to Supernova. I really overlooked his talent.
Im gonan go with Idra, and MC on this win. All depends on how Nestea is playing.
