NADAAAAAAAAAA.

But seriously, even tho I'm not really sad to see Idra go (never was a fan), I must say that he played his cards well.

Had maka beaten Zenio, Idra would've only met another zerg way further in the tournament. Why bother practicing ZvZ when you have a HUGE chance to meet only T/P?

Pity, but sometimes life deals you 2-7 offsuit.

I understand why people are voting for idra, considering he has the most sc2 experience of the three. However, i think boxer's brood war skills will serve him well. The two games are more alike then they are different! Therefor, my vote goes to boxer.

edit: wow, idra knocked out in a ZvZ? surprising!

well...since idra is out, nada already qualified for the next round and boxer has one game to advance to the next round...
i know i was already wrong with idra but hey...another day, another challenge (damn...worst unknown quote ever

)
so my guess is nada now...as artosis and tasteless were joking around how furious he's gonna play after the kinda stupid loss of the first map against leenock, it was pretty funny to see how good he really played after that...even getting out of his jacket

we'll see how boxer's performing today...
and we'll also see if the "boxer-effect" hits again

im so happy zenio played so well.

it reminds me so much of idra vs F91 in BW for liquibation.
f91 does non standard and idra just keels over
or nony vs idra in TSL 2, again idra falls over to something non-standard

oh idra... how i love your epic fails =) rekrul should start betting against you again

Show nested quote +

that he's extremely consistent and awesome at zvt

the fact that u would even mention bw shows how ridiculous ur argument is
this has NOTHING to do with bw

You can argue that, assuming bw and sc2 are pretty different. There is one thing that has to do with bw though : while idra showed he was the best foreigner, he also showed that he was pretty bad under pressure. Yeah he can win some random tourneys. Still I'm sorry, but I still remember the guy losing a cc to a probe, and I really wonder how can anyone believe he can win a tournament as big as gsl.
While in the case of Nada, we all know he's not gonna crumble under pressure or because he is in a* tough spot... like just after being 4-pooled.
BTW,* in bw, Light owns at TvZ-, but who believes he is, on the whole, better than, say, Fantasy, or that he is nearly as good as jaedong ?

Funny to think that Boxer isn't the Boxer of SC2

The Idra fame is dying imo. I was really unimpressed comparing his play vs the remaining players in the GSL.. (read: 'comparing his play')

As much as I, and most of the community, would love to see IdrA (as a foreigner) get further I don't think he'll be able to pull it of. He seems to be capped at his potential, stale, lacks creativity. While others (esp. the legends) have only 'just' started playing SC2 and you can see the potential in those guys. Like in the game vs Zenio, the overseer game, I really had the feeling IdrA is so easy to bring out of balance. Just like artosis mentioned, he plays vs AI a lot and you can tell. Ow I'm sure IdrA will be able to respond if someone does the overseer tactic again but he'll always be a step behind if something 'unexpected' happens.

I hope some day a western hero will rise from the ashes to bring down the korean reign in the GSL. I just don't think it will be IdrA. He's a working horse but he lacks the real talent.
