I'm glad another MMM 1a + abuse drops sometimes is gone. That's a good one. A moving and Hold positioning the colussus was so much harder? | ||

He's the only USA player in the tournament, therefore overhyped, that's about it. | ||

This game would never had happened on ladder, but it happened here, in the booths of gg not only that, remember how much money is on the line! | ||

Pure fanboyism...I think in Korea they are like "pff...this Zerg player again...crush him for the Korean pride!" | ||

I hardly think they said Flash was a favorite to win a tournament before he actually started to win tournaments. Might be wrong there tough | ||

Idra is actually a good zerg? maybe that would be it. He has played tons of games, everyone knows he has sick macro which is extremely powerful in mid to late game and he has won Tester and other Korean players in international tournaments before. Tester in KOTB for example. And no, im not saying hes the top favorite to win the tournament, but he definitely is one of them. | ||

Well, any sports style... Hype (spelling?) creates the illusion that a match is more intense than it actually is. Not that todays IdrA matches needed more excitement  | ||

THE biggest favorite would most likely be Tester. | ||

or cause his actual good? lots of people were saying how good flash was before he won anything as well you know Idra, in his many years of progaming has never won first place in any korean tournament. The only reason he's hyped is because the commentators are his friends/teammates and they are of course catering to the english crowd. And comparing him to flash is ridiculous, flash makes what, 300,000$ a year from his contract alone because of his skill? Idra can't hope to match that skill or winnings. | ||
