Damn I hope Mondragon wins this. He is incredibly mannered despite having huge skills and running a top clan - which would make most other foreigners (read: idra) arrogant pricks, if they werent already.

I loved Idra's interview! I think it was hilarious as opposed to being intentionally arrogant (as many of you are putting it).

Any last words to your fans?
Do I still have some? :-P

Next to Idra's interview, Draco's was the best because of that line.

Though, my favorite line was "zerg can make their units invincible"

I hope someone knocks Mondi out of this. Hes strong, but theres a shitload of potential contenders too.

Draco was being sarcastic.

IdrA had the best one liners this time around:

You are one of two Americans who qualified, and one of the few Terrans.

Well winning consistently with Terran requires skill, so not a whole lot of foreigners play it and even less play it well. As for the Americans, quite a few made it to the ro48 and then lost for various reasons. Skew is mentally retarded, Artosis doesn’t know how to attack, Incontrol had a good opponent as did lzgamer. Machine got jewed. On a different day I think we could have had 6 Americans go through.

lol

Blunt, but I like it. Just telling it the way it is.

Idra's lines vwere amusing, tbh. Good to see him shoving back a little at the people who flame him/trashing people out. After all, nobody else is. : p

Going to be an interesting RO16.

these were great interviews, somewhat reminiscent of the ones koreans give except a little less playful/personal.

Not sure why everyone seems to have issues with Idra. I would have thought we'd all be behind him as our rep in the world of korean progamers. Lots of big names to root for like Mondi, Draco, etc and some of our very own TLers like Nony and Idra.

I play T and I'm from the US, so I think I have to cheer for Idra haha.

"I will have only one practice partner - computer, right before the match." - Draco
hahaha
And once again. mondi and Para being emos. I'd rather hear someone overrating themselves then underrating.

Well, mondi can afford to be humble because he knows that everyone knows that all the talk about luck is just BS.

Mondragon said:
In the first ZvZ game against ToT)GOsia(, you won with 12hatch against 9pool.
I don't really have a clue how I could beat it. He probably made some severe micro mistake in that game, else I cannot explain that.

Yeah that was pretty wow. I saw at least one micro mistake that Gosia made: he wasted several early seconds when he had lings and mondragon didn't, using all of his lings to attack an egg, of all things. Complete waste of time.
