Well just goes to show how coin flippy PvP is. No one can really master PvP since the mirror is so one dimensional

APM is quite useful when, like MMA, you micro and macro while multitasking with that 300 APM, instead of spamming. Some players are not as amazing as MMA and can get by on significantly lower APM.
(Obviously to those discussing APM ^^)

Grubby is a mystery to me. Sometimes he plays so well, and then he just fall apart...


Well dont forget, 24 hours before his first match Grubby didn't even knew he was going to play and with Grubby's weird living schedule (for some reason he likes to play at night or some) that's probably not in his favor.

So combine that with the fact that Grubby is still learning then this result isn't a surprise to be honest.

I've given up on Idra games. Remember the awesome matches he played against MC a long long time ago. That 40min slug fest on Metalopolis? Each side conceding the advantage every few minutes?

Now ever since he played vs MMA in the game where the latter took out his own command center, its just Idra gging at the first failed rush or bunker attack. Either that or throwing away roaches to blink stalkers. Idra games are never fun anymore. There's no up and down. Its either Idra playing to the end cause he's always ahead, or a 5-9min gg after he collapses to some early pressure or failed roach ling bling bust. Also doesn't help that he seems so bad at holding off early pressure from a pro.

We've seen some miraculous recoveries from early game setbacks from DRG, Violet, Curious, Leenock, but Idra? meh...

Used to tune into his televised matches all the time, now I watch other streams if like on IEM there are multiple games running concurrently.

Couldn't agree more, qxc is so spot on when he says that Idra has the worst mind-set of any programer

Someone else has probably mentioned this but Ace went 10-0 in the group stages at the last world championship as well, will MMA do the same?

Thank god MC made it through. If you are a fan of a protoss player PvP has to make you nervous. Now as long as he can avoid PvP the rest of the tournament he can win the whole thing.

Wait, did Strelok like leave or something after his first loss to MMA? It said MMA 1-0 so what happened to game 2?

I am intentionally spewing stuff I made up that was never actually said

Kid, go watch the third part of his interview where he says that. And even then it's blindingly obvious that Idra isn't going to succeed with his current mindset
