As much as I'm a fan of Idra, I can't say he's the best Zerg. He's just way too stubborn and never adjusts his builds to win. He's just thinks he can Macro all the time and win like that. Blink Stalkers three times in a row, Idra? You really lost to that? =/ He could have defended it especially since he knew it was coming all 3 times. Force fields also tear him apart. Just saw a match of him vs HuK (Husky casted it) and even though he saw HuK's Colossus, he didn't make any Corruptors. Roach, Hydra, Ling vs Gateway units, 5 colossus and force fields is not good for a Zerg at all, but he engaged and HuK's mass force fields owned him.

Dont worry 12 benches next time

Hmm, do you know if it is possible to buffer on the VLC stream? It is very choppy for me. I am trying to watch the restream.

Subtract 2 rounds from the "MLG" Loser's Bracket Rounds on their bracket site to get the right folder for my naming system. Subtract 1 round from the Winner's Bracket Rounds. I'm in the process of making an even better one though with all the players names! I had an amazing idea on how to do it batch by changing the file date of the Game 1, 2, and 3 replays to be different, having the batch tool split them by folder, and then running them through SC2RAR. I should be done soon!
Thanks a bunch!

Your criticism is very similar to FruitDealer's analysis of IdrA's play during GSL 1 interviews. He said: IdrA is a very good macro player but he has no all-in style. This will hold him back.
Five roach rush would have crushed the blink build and, since he knew the build was coming, he could and should have adapted.
But IdrA's been better than any Western player for so long that his weaknesses didn't matter. Now that other guys are flying to Korea and upping their game, the reason he was never anything other than a B-teamer is being exposed.
Strikes me that the future great foreign hopes are going to be guys like HuK, TLO, Ret, SeleCT. Guys that can adapt AND have the work ethic.

Yeah halo did indeed have people outside the main stage sitting down, but I don't really think they had many seats at the main stage there, I think just 2 small bleachers which likely held less than the benches in the sc2 room.
Also I don't buy the whole "We'll fix it next year" As a professional organization that like any sport caters to it's spectators, it was unacceptable, and yes I do like socializing with everyone, that doesn't make it ideal. The hilton is a huge facility, there was absolutely ZERO reason not to ante up for a few dozen more chairs, I worked at a hotel for 2 years that was a fraction of the size of the anatole and every conference had hundreds of chairs per room. I have literally seen small business meetings have more seating than this.
I am a huge fan of MLG and love the events, the casting, production value, and player pool are the best I've seen at a tourney and there are so many fans cheering it's seriously amazing, but to not plan this better is absolutely inexcusable.

^ I chuckled.
5RR would of crushed BoxeR in GSL too, right?
As for HuK and crew, don't think flying to korea is going to make them 10x better or something. They will get better ofc, but to say they will surpass idra is dumb. Same level? Sure, with time.

Well... if he just made marines against it? Probably.
I think he'd be smart and make marauders though.
Edit: or just stick with marines and build 10 bunkers.

Budgets have been set for the event and MLG only has 3 trucks they fit everything in, Also theres still the fire hazard problem with the chairs that will shutdown the entire event. All of this has been discussed on SOTG.

Wow half of all players left are from TL .. That is one strong performance

From the games we've seen, we can easily say some of these guys are already at Idra's level. Idra lost to Select when he could have won. Cut some mutas, make banelings and he would've won. I cringed when he lost the bulk of his army while marines were trapped in a corner and he had nothing but mutas and some lings if I'm not mistaken. He saw what Select was doing and instead of getting banelings he kind of ignored it and hoped his Mutas would do it all for him. We all saw how that worked out. Go check out the game against HuK and you'll see that HuK is capable of taking him out as well. HuK was even being contained at one point and still came from behind to win.

I'm telling you MLG doesn't have to supply the chairs, the hotel can, and fire hazard was absolutely worse at the event, the whole middle of the floor was packed with people, they could have just as easily had a lane in the middle with chairs all around. It was handled poorly, to have the exact same problem at two consecutive events is BAD PLANNING.
I seriously set up events at a conference center for two years, having 10 benches for that many people is asinine.

As I'm sure our players would tell you, they'd rather all be in the winners bracket than mostly in the losers bracket!

Eh, but two of them down there were eliminated by each other!
Just bad luck with the brackets I think there.

Hi I'm streaming it on a MAC powerbook. You need to install the octoshape plugin and use firefox to play it. If it doesn't load then switch off the browser, run the octoshape plugin from applications then run the browser again. When you see the live stream on MLG then click play and it should work.
