what's really funny is that when foreigners find themselves incapable of succeeding in korean tournaments, sc2 will die incredibly fast. unless of course white people start making tournaments worthwhile of course, but thats unlikelky to happen.
Not funny and baseless.

Idra and TLO are on different teams and Idra helped TLO prepare for his last match. Same exact thing. it's not bias, it's called competition.

Ok... so what exactly does a PointDD do? Liquipedia? Those TvT games were actually less bad than i imagined them to be. Some interesting stuff happening. http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Main_Page
I happen to know liquipedia, thanks. My question mark should indicate that FaCE_1 maybe wants to consult liquipedia instead of asking this questions on the forum.

Exact explanation of why idra won / lost
Game 1 : Toss followed normal strat and idra killed him.
Game 2 : Idra thought that since game 1 went as expected that game 2 would go as expected. I have no doubt that the korean that gave away the protoss's ID also told the protoss that Idra would be looking at them. Idra instead of playing his normal Macro + Response game decided to just macro and almost 100% forgot about scouting. He even ran a ling up top and only saw 1 zealot and a sentry but didn't find anything curious about that.
Game 3 : Idra definitly played better for most of it, I don't even think the expansion crippled him. In the end he pushed too hard instead of regrouping. Colossi count was LOW towards the end and he could have pushed the top expo done some damage and backed off. The basic units would have won him the game even still. Though, I'm not denying that the extra base did play a good role.

alright who gave artosis and tasteless amphetamines?

Ah, bit of a shame to come home to (after a long day's work), the news that Idra has been eliminated.
Ah well mate, better luck next time.
All down to TLO now eh.
|
The commentators jeering on the korean and praising idra every second of the game and literally saying "yeah were biased and unprofessional, we want idra to win" and idra watching the protoss' build orders is fine.
But if the korean guy shares strats then its obviously cheating.
This is why foreigners will never win or be really accepted in korean e-sports.

It's residual Adrenaline/rage from Idra's game

this gsl is a perfect example of metagaming

They wanted him out because the tournament is in Korea and they're Koreans and they want a Korean to win the tournament. It's national pride, common in all sports. The home team wants a member of the home city/country to win. Why is this so hard to understand?
Disagreeing is not the same as not understanding. If it was a national pride issue, then why aren't we hearing about them doing the same to get Artosis, TorcH, and TLO knocked out? Why only Idra? He is in no way the only foreigner capable of competing in this tournament.
Just because he's foreign, doesn't mean it's anti-foreign to want him out. And as other have said, the whole thing may well have been entirely overblown anyway, with the only named player helping Lotze being his Prime teammate.
There's currently no reason to believe that Idra was the victim of any anti-foreigner 'conspiracy'.

Can JTJ beat Maka? Let's hope at least one of the Z today advances to the Ro16.
|

|

No one said this.
Not to mention, Genius JUST SAID he scouted August's build order on lost temple when he was streaming and Artosis was just as fine with it.
I really hate posters like this. Read and pay attention.

What does teaming up have to do with anything? If everyone in the world teamed up against Flash he would still be destroying left and right. You may get an idea of what he's gonna do or what you can do against him, but he'll destroy you and your family.
not only is this 100% accurate, but this made me spit out my drink as well as register just to praise this post

why did match 3 get delayed?

Come on LegalMind. Even though I play terran, I'd love to see their numbers get whittled down a bit. Nothing but TvT games in the later stages would get boring.
