I'm actually quite pleased with the Protoss results so far- it's been so long since we've seen much from Toss!

I think it is because there is a big portrait of Idra in the title art. Anyways, this event will be sick, though some players sure have pulled the short straw with their seeding, haha! :D

Well, the numbers (which he does not mention) are undeniable, the rest is interpretation. :-)
But I wouldn't interpret too much into them anyways, Thorzain is the only non-Korean terran they invited to participate in the first place. :'-(

I don't blame IdrA for being upset this time. I haven't exactly been following HotS or SC2 in general super closely lately, but I do remember seeing IdrA all over twitch at all hours of the day, laddering HotS. If I practiced that much and then was beaten by, in my opinion, a lesser player, I'd be pretty angry at myself too. The history and other conflicts just add to it.

I think right around now is the best time for me to start watching a ton of SC2 again. Flash in Code S, a fresh KeSPA GSL champion, this MLG... yeah, it's decided.

as idra himself said, if you don't get angry at a loss, you don't care enough. that's something that i find respectable

Ah why bother replying to this weak mentality, the better prepared player won, and slapped around with his large Trout rather generously.

You don't need to be "better prepared" to win end-game as protoss in PvZ ;p And btw idra was one of the players who spent most time playing hots beta.

You do need to be good at the game.

You think Startale Life would have lost 3-0? Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllll NO.

Don't make excuses for him. He does have every right to be upset at his loss though. He hasn't had any results in a year, it's gotta be tough under that circumstance when this is your full time career and you put so much dedication in it. Unfortunately, not everyone can win.

Oh, Idra...
In all these years (counting BW) there's never been a great champion with your attitude. I'm guessing there's a causality relationship between the two. So either grow up or retire. It's up to you.

Spending a lot of time playing/laddering/streaming HoTS doesn't automatically make you good. It's how you spend those time preparing and practicing builds.

Watching IEM WC, casters kept on going on about how some of players spend so much time playing HoTS, yet they got rolled over.

I know IdrA practices a good amount of time... I feel he needs to change something up in his game... i dont really know how to explain it but i feel like he sikes himself out more than he should.

The last game once again showed that Suppy has an affinity for roaches, as he chose to open with a WoL early roach push.


This is something I never would have imagined a month ago.

Not taking shots at idra. there banner art still has idra in it though and they are saying there is 100% less idra because idra is in the banner but not in the tournament. Taking a shot at themselves if anything

getting really tired of useless shit like this. tl i think you really need to crack down on this balance whine bullshit. its a goddamn plague on the site. the remotest bit of balance whine should warrant at least a temp imo.

So disappointed about fenix vs state... definitely looked like a case of nerves, I'm pretty confident that fenix could actually produce some interesting games vs parting whereas state... well he's just going to get rolled, let's be honest. No way a low-average na player can beat a korean in a mirror.. particularly not pvp
unless parting doesn't use voidrays.. but he should.


also, poor ret, bly, and suppy lol

Eh, flash would hardly be the scariest player in this tournament even if it were WoL. Given that it's HotS and that Flash has played very little HotS, I think that most of the other Koreans are actually scarier.
