wow, my bracket guessing was HORRIBLE haha I think I had like 6 first-round mistakes. Kinda glad the contest is not valid anymore =]

I will def watch all these replays tonight!

Incontrol deserves a big thumbs up for putting this together and dealing with all the shit noshows.

On forte if you're 5 the geysers in main and nat is below your hatch/cc/nexus and on the right meaning the person playing on these positions have to mine gas with 4 peons where their build timings will be thrown off. And should really hurt zerg considering how gas heavy zvt is.

I think ret was talking about that in his game how when his mutas came out he only had 600 gas.

It seemed both koll and ret were rather displeased with forte.

Forte is Forte and crying about the map isnt really intelligent since at least ret is "oldschool" so he had to know it, so he was able to change his style :o.

Because if you've followed his games you would know that he has come extremely close to being eliminated in the past (e.g vs castro, brat_ok). In addition to that, Idra's condition is no different to when Mondi was in his prime, or JF, or any other good foreigner for that matter.


there is a huuuge difference. Idra is a professional gamer and neither Mondi or JF were ever professional gamers. its simply pathetic that a professional (licenced?) player is taking part in amateur leagues.

how is it pathetic?

Regardless of what you think idra brings a lot of attention in the leagues he plays. Whether its to cheer him on or see him lose. Whether its to hear his interviews or see him bm. Hes almost like fbh. You take out idra. You take out half the watchers.

Did you think he was going bio? In the first game he went this fast +1weap build where he doesnt pump rines until he adds his raxes. Did you think he was doing the same buiild?

looking forward to castro vs idra and koll vs saren when they get up

I had pretty decent picks in the bracket content even with the drop outs. Good to see some Canadians advancing. Sad to see Shauni out in the first round but at least he lost to Canadian sub Xiaozi!

I agree with you, there is a huuuge difference between someone who makes a living from SC and trains with the best of them for 13h/day. However, Idra has been a member of the TL community for a long time. He still posts here and is more accessible than any other pro player to the TL people. I would personally find it odd to suddenly exclude him from tourneys just because he won a couple of them in the past few months. In fact I look forward to seeing more of his games.

More importantly, the Highlander is a tourney managed by Incontrol and others, using private donations. It doesn't have to meet anyone's particular definition of "amateur" or "foreign", the organizers simply have to make a judgement call as to who gets invited / is allowed to play. The donors trusted them to make the right decisions, and so far I think they have done a fantastic job!

You can't seriously argue that FBH and/or Idra are responsible for anywhere near 50% of viewers. No single player is or ever has been that important.

of course theres no way to measure it but you have to admit he attracts attention

and one person can be that important

???

I expected Idra to be knocked out the first round, and from the sound of it was almost correct. You say hes a much greater class than these guys, but have you seen him become successful in that 'class'? No. He belongs playing at this level of play o.O
