Or on the contrary, perhaps he knows MC will go 2-0 with MKP/jinro 2-0 so they (the ogs guys) can choose their opponents. Idra played well that game, but I mean, you can't say nada tried to win.
Still, I think idra deserve to be finaly in ro8, glad for him.
He did pretty much throw the game. Nada said in his interview that he was trying to hide his build orders and instead opted to go use some build that he knew wasn't very good anymore. If he wanted to bust out his build now instead he would have won but would be at a disadvantage going into the round of 8.
Actually, I believe Nada said it was one of the builds he was trying to hide but decided to try it but since it's kinda old it did not work as intended.

I think, whoever IdrA gets matched against (hopefully Jinro gets 2nd) will be a real challenge. And I kinda want an IdrA vs Jinro rematch to make up for the Bo1 Jungle Basin fail. >.<
Actually, I hope Jinro gets first, so we can eventually end up with a Jinro vs IdrA finals. THAT would be awesome.
even if jinro was first it would still be semi, not finals....
Really happy for Idra, his Muta micro vs Clide was nothing short of amazing.
Getting a little tired of him always QQing about Zerg imbalance though, especially when he goes 3-0 in a very tough group like that. Just sounds ridiculous.
I think IMMvp said it best, about NesTea but same difference:
Q. IMNesTea said that Zerg became harder to play since the patch. A. I think he's just faking it. I witnessed him winning in season 2 as he cried his way to victory. I'm pretty sure this is the case right now too.

I was thinking the same thing with the spine crawlers. Very disappointed.

I want to cry my way to victory! Unfortunately my crying only tends to irritate those around me or the unfortunate protoss players that have to listen to me as they roflstomp me into the ground with their massive orange and blue space lasers.
Brilliant showing by Idra.... Wow. Clide, Genius and Nada. He had to deal with some pretty difficult strategies as well... Hellion, Maurder, cannoned up nat, Thor drop into a thor all in. Sick, sick, sick. Cherry on top was Idra gging back to Nada (of course) and cracking a smile at the end. This is the farthest Idra has gotten into the GSL and now it looks like he can make it to the semis.
