Considering how close game 2 was the whole "imbalanced" thing doesn't really have a leg to stand on. Nony could've won that game with just slightly better decision making/ micro and he knows it.

I wish the go to answer for every result of every game wasn't "omg x = imba"

Sometimes people who are very poor sports are also very good at something, deal with it.

like the post above me

nony did not play "so badly"
jesus christ u have no idea what ur talking about

sorry if I am being mean.. but people shouldn't post like they are authoratative when they totally aren't.


didnt Nony already say in this thread that he played badly???????????????

I thought IdrA played perfect! game three was really intriguing, mass hydra drop while he was concerned with lings owning his new expo

is it me or are cannons just not as strong as they were in SC1 (off topic BTW)
THERES NO WAY HE CAN STOP THOSE HYDRAS!

ok to the 5000 people who said it:

Nony said he made mistakes. He said he didn't play perfect. Not that he played badly. Anyone is liable to make mistakes when the opponent is bringing a level of game you aren't used to. Learn reading comprehension. Making mistakes is not the same as playing badly.

Nony did not play that badly, and he would have absolutely annihilated any of you by playing as good as he did.


But I never would have even posted anything had people not only said that Nony played badly, but then posted little lists of bullshit like they would have done it better in the game had they been playing. It's fine to be critical, but not when you don't even know what you're talking about.

agree , if nony said that he made mistakes and was not playing perfectly that probably 50 % of the reason why nony loss the other 50 % was idra .

like many people say idra played realy high skill lvl and damn good , so he deserve the win .

As a huge Nony fan, that series was very painful to watch ... it looked like the kinda games where you're operating on like 2 hrs of sleep. Leaving your choke open in game 1, poor micro in game 2 (he really should've won the first push, if he had done anything with those phoenixes...), and falling for the classic zergling harass on the far expo in game 3... right when the zerglings caused Nony to overcommit his forces, I immediately knew what was going to happen, I was thinking in my head "noooo just send a colossus and abuse the cliffs".

I also wonder if templars would've been a better tech choice in Metalopolis than Colossus, since it's such a big map which encourages air units (thus making colossus more vulnerable). You'd also get access to charge, blink and storms, all good against hydras and air units.

DC Elite vs Nony Bo5 anyone? ^^

I'd love to see that.

Bashing on Nony like that, tsk tsk tsk...
Nony played well, I just think Idra has gotten much better.

He didn't play like robot those games and wasn't brought down by harrassment(sp?).

These are such weak arguments in any such conversation that i feel like i have to call it out. Just because we all dont play professional football it doesnt mean we cant sit around the water cooler and debate whether or not Brett Favre sucked and played poorly in any particular game where he threw 4 picks.

How about you stop blind defending the protoss player for no reason like you are being personally attacked. We're all just talking here about an individuals performance. We can all have crappy days and if you put yourself in a tournament you have to expect some criticism. Look at me, im talking to you like you played, which you didnt, so give it a rest.

Lets shut down the forum, guys, we all arent as good as the protoss player, so there no use talking about starcraft 2 anymore ever. *eyeroll*

I would call you an idiot at the water cooler too if you acted like you could quarterback better than Brett Favre in any particular game. And people do that shit actually. And I do make fun of them. "oh, like you could possibly do it better. because it's so easy to throw a 60 yard pass with a bunch of linemen(idra) charging at you."

Sorry to butt in here, but DC Elite there's a difference between an avid Cavs fan lamenting about Lebron, and someone who doesn't even know the basic fundamentals of basketball commenting on his play ... you criticizing his forcefield usage in game 1 as pinning himself, advocating immortals, and calling him silver-leaguer shows you really don't know what you're talking about, sorry don't mean to sound so harsh...

Nony: well known player to the community you're posting in.
"DC Elite": post count 8 and post 1 was in this thread dissing aforementioned respected player and is wondering why people defend him.

Good start entering this forum!

Well, i only got the beta key yesterday but i am 4-1 in a high division in the well respected copper league, so i think that speaks for itself.

I also played junior high football as place kicker, so if i think favre sucks im probably right.

I scored a goal in soccer in the 3rd grade, now I follow Kaka around calling him a scrub.

Hahaha oh man... Please don't feed the troll even more!

I think Idra played very well + Show Spoiler +
and I honestly still don't understand how could he possibly win game 2, almost heroic for him, that defense.

If 1 unit is so useful and massable it's not the player who is to blame, but the game's balance. Maybe the other units don't have good synergy, or maybe they just aren't good enough.

I like this new trend of moderating on TL. Instead of simply IP banning the idiots we strip them of all defenses and publicly humiliate them. Please continue to do this. There has been an influx of trolls and ignorant kiddies ruining the community of TL.

On topic, I agree with Travis. Nony is a hero to many and a baller in SC and SC2. He made mistakes against Idra and it cost him the series. His play against Idra was nowhere near a Silver league player.

LMFAO. Best troll ever. He literally got 2 pages of serious responses to his trolling before anyone mentioned that he might be a troll.

Honestly I kind of hate that you can spam hydras and zerglings and win. What is this, baby's first RTS?

Jesus, this game really is simplistic sometimes. Everyone in the plat leagues are doing this exact strat now and winning.

Let's be more realistic, what other options did Idra have? Hydra is the first unit (except queen) to actually hit air... mutalisks cost much more, while dps of hydra is better than muta..
