Choya and MC do exactly the same shyts. MC gets raped in macro games too. All hail Choya, the mini-MC. MC's 1 base attacks are near unstoppable and he definitely does not get raped in macro games... | ||

saying he doesn't belong in code S is silly. sure when you compare him to the top top players he looks bad but he plays better than all the other cheesy protoss we see in code A. his macro isn't completely terrible when he plays a longer game either he just has a cheesy style if he didn't belong in code S he wouldn't be in code s. he had plenty of chances to lose in either group. when you think about it he is sadly a top 5 protoss player in the world. after the pretty agreed upon top 3 (MC Tester Genius) there really aren't many others to choose from. You're looking at sangho/squirtle/choya/inca in that next tier and there really aren't any others to choose from edit: does anyone know what happened to MVPs teammate on woonjin that also switched? he played P and we saw him in one of the GSLs (or maybe it was the team tournament?) but haven't seen him since | ||

If you go 2-0 you are through, but if 2 people go 2-0 you need to have a playoff between them to determine who was #1 in the group, and as a result who gets drawn where for the next stage of the brackets ^^ They did this in the r32 groups too, though there you would also have a playoff between the 0-2 players as well since you needed to determine who was 3rd and who was 4th for the up and down matches with Code A. This round it's unnecessary since finishing 9-16 just ensures you remain Code S. | ||

If you're comparing these two, forget that one is a Korean and the other is a 'foreigner' and base it on skill. Saying that IdrA is on the same level as MVP is laughable. MVP all-killed the top 5 zerg players in the world in the Gisado KoTH, with all of them being 2-0 except against oGsZenio, IIRC. You honestly think IdrA could do that to the top 5 Terrans in sc2? Even with favourable maps, not a chance. IdrA is a great player, but to suggest that he is on par with the elite players (such as MC, MVP or Nestea) is folly. | ||

Perhaps it could have something to with the current state of Zerg (and maps), which you conveniently disregard | ||

I'm glad the maps are changing as I feel larger maps encourage more diverse play. But to imply that Zerg is underpowered (you are, aren't you?) at this juncture is both hilarious and pitiful. People will say anything to take the focus off their own poor play/ the play of those in their race. Good luck with that. | ||

Even with favourable maps, not a chance. IdrA is a great player, but to suggest that he is on par with the elite players (such as MC, MVP or Nestea) is folly. I see the point you are trying to make but you picked a bad way to make it. IdrA's best match-up is probably ZvT (though it might or might not be his favorite) and given favorable maps? Well who would you consider the top 5 Terrans in SC2? MVP is probably the best. Then you have MarineKing, Boxer, Nada, Jinro, Rainbow, Clide, and Ensnare (with a lot of those guys being pretty even)? On a good day, IdrA could probably take out all those guys so I don't think you help your point much with that hypothetical analysis. So yes, there is a chance. But you're right, MVP looks to be in a level above IdrA. I don't think that means IdrA would have no chance against him, though. | ||
