He called Nestea terrible. Way to take something out of context. You guys have to be the most negative community of people ever. This is a great announcement for e-sports, but everyone is quick to piss on it and point out why it's not as awesome as it should be. | ||

While they do great in the GCPL casts, I think they were focused on bringing the serious face (no funny gretorp/incontrol jokes) and the desync issue didn't help them much either. They'll do great when the time comes. Remember Tasteless and Artosis in GSL1? If iNcontroL and Gretorp progress half as well as they have they'll be amazing pretty soon. | ||

Besides, it's not like Jinro didn't have his share of landslide wins, more than 3 in fact. A less than rational person will take sportsmanship comments made in a post-game interview as a factual argument. I agree, an 8-3 record is a good one... and that's about all your attempted witty post had to say. "Clear indicator" is an absolute terrible choice of words. The players are so close in skill its incredible. The largely perceived weaker race of zerg more than makes up for your "clear indicator" in the gap of skill. Bunkers in front of ramps ending 2.5 minute games are sure landslides. Rational, yep. | ||

I mean that's ~10 series? I hope they don't go solely on votes, since it seems to me a few players are dragging a bit behind in the popularity contest such as grubby and trump above slush, tt1, strelok, gretorp and lzgamer... | ||

He called him terrible around GSL season 2, he has since then rectified his stance on him. Catch the latest Artosis interview of IdrA to see that although not entirely impressed, IdrA does consider NesTea a top notch zerg player. | ||

Right now, it's not(in my personal opinion), and if it killed BW right now I would get really angry. SC2 has the potential though, and I really hope that I can enjoy it as much as BW one day :D Edit: and by the way, most BW players support SC2, I find that there are more SC2 players that are hostile against BW enthusiasts than the opposite. Oh really? Thanks dude, I had no idea. I (for some reason) thought BW people hated SC2 and didn't care how well it did judging by some of the threads upon SC2's release. Happy to hear it. | ||

This is a great announcement for e-sports, but everyone is quick to piss on it and point out why it's not as awesome as it should be. To be fair, the negativity here is May sunshine compared to Deus Ex's forums (I mention SC there far more frequently fyi). Idra calling people bad and his infamous bm is one of the fun things about Idra. What I'd really love is to see him dance like ST_Ace. The only way this didn't live up to the hype is the fact that it was all but figured out beforehand. Compared to an announcement for a WoW expansion, I'd say NASL is about 6 levels above that. | ||

And he did call Nestea terrible, right after he won GSL. He then later said Nestea got better, and yeah he does think he's great now. But nevertheless my point was that even if he wins GSL that doesn't mean, for IdrA, that he's not be terrible. So by those same standards, just saying that IdrA "knows he isn't terrible" because he's a top player doesn't work. And if you look at my previous posts I've been saying I'm super hyped about NASL. Don't imply I'm pissing on it. | ||

I can't believe how many people reply telling people not to whine, that's probably more, lol To turn this not into of those posts: koreans, add them or I think it will fail. no MVP in this tournament will just be boring when you know someone like him is out there. | ||
