i think it was really cool to see how he's strayed away from his same build-same playstyle every game like before when he just relies on solid builds and superior macro | ||

Here he chose three, one of which was Metalopolis, which gets played every series. The maps did not make a difference in the outcome. it certainly made a difference in the entertainment value though. granted there are clearly not many balanced maps in blizzard's pool, the first 2 are certainly not part of those. most logical way would have been to have both player veto 2 maps and play the remaining 5. | ||

I hope future EG cups will learn from that mistake. Other then that, it was a fantastic tournament and hope EG will continue to put out good content. but i want EG players other than idra to produce results damnit! | ||

I think it's my zerg bias, but I still love watching IdrA beat people in overwhelming fashion. Still, it was an extremely awesome tournament. qxc was fantastic most of the day, I'm sure the 6 straight hours of SC2 took its toll on him. Also nice to see stalife and Slush do so well. Also, the obligatory nice job to Wheat, Day9 and Scoots. I think it's a given by now that the EG MC production is going to be top of the line. We're getting spoiled by it. | ||

Idra really does deserve to have some map choices to even out the ping disadvantage, nothing wrong with that. | ||

well, when you put it like that, you make a good point. however, entering a series knowing you have no choice over maps can lower your spirits considerably. i still think this affected qxc. | ||

He's the Gracken sitting on his throne and QXC is that town's boy who is on a quest to slay him and enters his lair with lava, falling rocks, spikes and chainsaw Zombies. qxc happens to get hit by the falling rocks, falls into the spikes and the lava is coming up.

Also, very very great play from qxc all throughout the tournament. I was especially so amazed by his games vs machine. Idra, just showing that he's on another level. just wow haha | ||

He is in the employ of Evil Geniuses and I'm sure these sorts of appearances are included and compensated for in that contract. I think it makes for an awesome showmatch at the end of an awesome tourney. | ||
