Also there's already a button near the minimap that can color the units the standard red and blue, it just doesn't work yet but it will, it'll work like it does in WC3. | ||

He was under the impression that Idra was playing Protoss, so he prepared accordingly. How great is that, he prepares all week so he can put on an entertaining game. So when we find out Idra is playing other races, suddenly all his time, practice, and strategy is greatly diminished. I think in this situation, the audience is mostly at a loss because it makes for a less entertaining game and a less equal game. I think if you want to have your race random, you should have to choose random. Otherwise, select the races you plan to play beforehand so each player can prepare accordingly. It would be like locking in a roster. Maybe I'm just totally off base here, but I feel predetermined races, like maps, allows players to prepare more and offer more entertaining games. It's just pretty bunk that one person prepared for a style of match up that didn't happen. It's true, I had been practicing zvp for about a week for the match, and had no Idea until we started the showmatch that he was zerg, while he had been practicing zvz with artosis for the whole week  Ahh well, ill get him next time! | ||

That series was the first where I felt like Korean progaming style training really could make a difference in SC2. IdrA's builds and macro were just more crisp than Machine's and you could tell IdrA has been mass gaming like mad to get everything worked out. | ||

I agree, but I think IdrA might of been upset if I just told him 10 minutes before the match. Might make a decision earlier in the week this time around. | ||

I actually really enjoyed the series even though Idra was a race picker depending on the map. Also, JP do you really have to try to upset Idra?! Isn't he upset all the time? ;p | ||
