This poll is good evidence that a lot of the TL'ers now never kept up with the BW pro scene. Nada stayed competitive in BW for a whooollle lot longer than Boxer, and Nada's mechanics are FAR superior. My guess is that Nada will make it at least as far as Boxer, and likely farther than Idra as well. | ||

He faces oGsGon, MVP and irOn or maka Idra won't reach the ro8. Boxer and Nada have easy opponents they will both reach the ro8 and one of them will advance to the semifinals. + Idra is by far not as good as Boxer. Did you see his initial GSL games? Did you see his showmatch against Fruitseller? | ||

IdrA also has more experience and his ZvT is his best match up. i know all three are good but i don't think it'll be as 1 sided as u think. you are correct though IdrA has it harder in the bracket but i have faith. as Suspense304 put it IdrA hold it down.  | ||

Bullshit aside, he should win. A white man winning $85k in Korea for playing Starcraft. God, that'd make my year. As much as I want to agree with you, it's really difficult to say that anyone is the best in the world at this point. The game is still so new... and that's part of the reason Idra lost in the last GSL. People won't be done showing us new things for a while... so anyone can beat anyone. That being said, Idra's play is very solid. That's why everyone tries to cheese him. He also has a decently high win percentage on the korean servers (check sc2ranks.com). I believe he will go very far. I think he is every bit as good as fruit dealer  Sen on the other hand.... he's a definitely one of the top 3 zergs as well. | ||

It was a laddermatch. You can't say anything definitely just because of a random laddermatch. I don't claim that I could definitely say who's better. But like I said, having watched recent tourney-games of both, I _think_ Boxer is better. | ||

Idra already trounced Boxer on the Korean ladder a few times. Boxer isn't that great. Mechanically weak player (by professional standards). | ||

He has shown very very refined play lately with strong macro and he has grown much better at handling early rushes/cheeses which I think was his weak point. Boxer has shown great play aswell but I feel that it sometimes becomes too cutesy and if it doesn't succeed early he loses, although in an entertaining fashion. | ||

Eventually Boxer/Nada/Idra will have to face them, just in the later stages true the early brackets may be easier for some rather than the others but that doesnt really matter, just means more hopefulls to knock out. | ||
