There's nothing wrong with the way Idra plays. He plays to win. If he makes a style of play that can be versatile and adapt to any "cheese" thrown his way then that would be the optimal style of play. Blame blizzard for boring matches not Idra. It's not his fault that he found something that works.

Are you guys sure you don't just bash on "IdrA's playstyle" because its IdrA? I'm pretty sure if it were Day[9] playing 'standard' (I didn't see the games so I cant say much about them) and winning all the games no one would bash him, they would say "wow, amazing play" instead.

God give some credit to IdrA. ~ ggs Team USA.

It seems like there's some mega double standard when it comes to losing to cheese probably just because of Idra's bm. Idra could get cheesed 20 times on streamed games and lose 3 of them and people would be screaming from the rooftops that Idra can't handle cheese. On the other hand anyone else could get cheesed 10 times on streamed games and lose 3 of them and people would be praising them for their ability to handle cheese.

Way to Rep USA guys! Other Countries have been underestimating NA players, even a certain popular commentator has been bashing NA players saying EU was far head of us.

There are replays up from the tournament that you can stream from the websites. Some of the links aren't labeled with who's playing. So you gotta take a stab at some of them.

I really won't disagree with that statement but I think it comes down to logistics most NA players are causal players and more than half the NA guys with keys got them because they play WOW.
