EPTWas still fun though and that was a gluttony of SC2 but by the time it got the finals the hype was lacking.

Clearly he was getting tired after playing so many games and a basic error of letting the drone into your base because of the incomplete wall and then gas stealing to really slow down the main prong of harass. Zerg macroing with no harass is autoloose. | ||

Reaper nerf.Depot before barracks?Absolutely no way to harass a macro monster like IdrA early in the match. Anyways 5:30 am here.Going to sleep. 3: Idra was behind on drones during his most ZvT's I saw. actually he won with very smart and agressive moves. | ||

It was so easy it seemed he must have thought it would be impolite to trash talk at all throughout the entire tournament, since it's like an NFL player trash talking NCAA players. Seeing how quickly he beat both Huk and SelecT was pretty insane. Just a level above everyone. I mean, he dropped maybe one game here, or there, and but those required some very specific circumstances. | ||

I like all the games being condensed into two days to keep the hype up, although it's rough on the players stamina I'm sure. | ||

I mimagine most spectators would as well. | ||

Slush is one of the best NA zergs, but where does that put him in world rankings? Yeah, I don't think he is even top15. Meanwhile, Idra gets to play the best terrans in the world under perfect conditions. Select's reasoning is justified. | ||

Har har. If it's not your thing, don't watch it, but it's definitely a legitimate competition. | ||

I'm guessing that reducing his playing time and thinking about the game more than focusing on improving mechanics is doing wonders for him. I honestly expect a much better performance on GSL2 from Idra, because he has obviously upped his game a few levels. It only improved because terran got nerfed and he didnt lose a game lol | ||

As a very long time CS player I don't think any other games even come close to the skill requirements of macro focused RTSes like BW and SC2. The skill and consistency ceiling is just sooo much higher. | ||

- I love select and will follow him now, like Fenix after last week IEM - I love huk, he seems very kind, smart and spiritual. That "It's Halo, don't worry" was so funny :D | ||
