Idra shows us how to be gay once again. Hide speedlings at tosses 3rd, force a cancel while dropping his main. Rinse repeat. Make mutas.

Yes, when you are doing something that isn't Blob vs Blob in sc2 such as drops, harassment or battles on multiple fronts. It is "gay."

Game 2 was the best. Idra put on a SC2 clinic.

3rd game was cool play by IdrA, but half the time it feels like I'm watching a machine play during his matches. Not to say he doesn't deserve to win, but there are more enjoyable matchups to watch. Particulary since whichever game IdrA plays, he almost certainly wins.

Isnt it possible to cheat in the RO4, 3rd place match and finals if they stream the games live? If you have another pc beside you, everything is pretty much revealed

It wasn't live, it was pre-recorded.

I am shocked to see Idra play this smart. Totally abusing the immobility of the protoss army, making it run back and forth between the bases. And his crisis management is really good as well. I was rooting for Nony, but I have to admit that Idra's play was one tier above his. The finals should be terribly one sided if Idra can hold this level of play.

IdrA demonstrated the clear skill-advantage he has. The series was not very entertaining though because it was so one-sided

Next time there really needs to be a Moderator in the chat, people were spamming and spoiling the result of the games.

To clarify, the ending of the tournament will be next week.

The 'stay tuned' was more of the YouTube viewers.

GL to the players!

Nony looked lost against that level of competition. Idra really made him look like just another platinum player. Really awesome play by Idra

It's looking grim for White-ra. Idra's play was incredible. Just wow.

Today white-ra vs sen (zerg) white ra rushed very early and cheesed a lot, a gamestyle totally diferent from NonY, so i don't see it grim at all

I meant it in a good way. Zerg's are lacking much gayness nowadays, unlike terran and tosses infinitely creative 1 base plays.

Idra just played amazingly well IMO, showing incredible versatility! Not a single Roach!

+ Show Spoiler +

Game 1 was an easy speedling run-by after Idra actually held off a quick push (for once)!

Game 2 Idra held off Nony's phoenix-ground 1-2 punch incredibly well, and then the hydralisk overrun FTW!

Game 3 was speedlings and doomdrops and mutalisks and so much stuff!

None of the games were even close :-(

Impressive play by Idra. He played much better than expected and has deviated from his roach play really well.

he is the best SC2-player atm - period!
