U are missing my point - i dont complain about lag and i doubt it had much to do with the results - i doubt (for example) Idra lagged and lost the game even tho no one reasonable would consider cruncher a better player (thats just example u could say same with most other games as well). Problem with sc2 is that u play a lot of top games being blind at early stages of the match - especially as zerg but not only. This produce opportunities for lower skilled players to win against those which are better by cheese or hidden tech or simply by not being able to predict what enemy can do as he can do pretty much everything. Often u have to decide ur army composition based on luck and prediction rather then knowledge - no matter how good ur macro and micro are and how much better ur overall game sense is u will still lose to the "lucky" guy as long as he wont make huge blunder with controlling his units. Football and other most popular real sports rarely got such surprises bcoz those top players ain't gonna lose by 1 unlucky decision made blindly. In current sc2 meta this 1 bad decision can cost u game or even tournament. While this wouldnt be a problem if this "luck factor" would be part of maybe less then 5% of the games i could risk the statement that atm its somewhere between 30-40%. This suck balls and if u are blind fanboy who refuse to acknowledge it then good game for u. So far TSL results are best proof. | ||

It's not like Idra is known for his good manners, especially considering his lack of GL/GG in the games. I loved all the games, gonna throw in my support for Mondragon and NaDa in the next round. | ||

Fast Ghost into Fast Gold into Fast Nuke whiteout a standing army? Are you serious? Well, it endet as expected: Fast Ghost did not enough Damage, TLO got rolled. I saw TLO do that three different times on Xel Naga. It was the first time he didn't win. Stop trying to play the wise guy and think you are better than the pro. | ||

The word upset almost loses it's meaning as every single game where there was a favorite has went upside down except MC vs Ciarra. I also think there was A LOT of guys being way too confident coming into the TSL, esp the koreans but that's just speculation. Upsets are good for the audience but I'm pretty pissed about Liquid getting almost wiped in the round of 32. Now Tyler will carry all the weight of saving the day for the home team but I have faith, he's the champion after all. Also, I really don't get why Idra is keeping on with that cocky attitude. It has jinxed him so many times. You have to feel pretty embarassed when you lost a match you "approched like it was a walkover". | ||

I'd be more willing to accept his opinion if he actually put in the effort and prepared for EVERY match no matter his perceived skill level of his opponent. Hopefully this will be the loss that gets him to snap out of the cocky attitude and realize he actually has to approach every match as if he were the underdog. | ||

And yeah, Idra is just reaping what he sowed when he got run over after aproaching a match "like it was a walkover." He was definately the better player, but that doesn't mean you can be cocky and take a win completely for granted (and televise to the public that you think as such) and then be surprised when you lose. Made for a great story line though and I'm pretty sure I had an aneurysm when I saw the "  " as I had horrible splitting headache for the rest of the day. | ||

Dont forget IDRA's BM in the lobby after game 1 and 2. The screenshots were posted earlier but I cannot recall on which page. I would say karma caught up to Idra.

They won best out of 2 which is quite random itself - it happens that better player fuck up something but overall he is still much better player. If those "giant-killers" were rly that good they would be considered giants as well. But if u check predictions most of games like fruitdeals, idra, mvp etc had predictions around 95+ (and thats not random voting) How does a BO2 work exactly? Did you mean to say that a BO3 is not an accurate amount of time to display skill? What would you propose is a better setting BO5? 7? 9? 11? 25? Lets not even get into your use of the BRACKET numbers as supporting proof for player X being massively more talented than player Y. That is jsut silly. | ||

And "scouting chrono on warpgate" hmmm i wonder why a protoss might chrono his warpgate upgrade? Maybe to get lots of wargates and rush. Kinda obvious isn't? 2+3. Yes he scouted but got very little info. I didn't say it was bad. I just said it was meaningless because any build could still be coming. 4. Yes he failed. Anyone who thinks he didn't fail is just a pure IdrA fan boy. You see chrono warpgates and ~10 sentries. Its 100% an attack to win/kill. 100%. No other option. You don't chrono the warpgate upgrade and make ~10 sentries to get a 2nd expo. Hi, thanks for defending me, Rielle. But don't waste your time on WhiteDog. I am skilled enough to make judgements about Idra's play. Especially something as easy to see as I noticed during game 3. If Idra doesn't see a 6-gate incoming, there is no excuse for it. Period. There is _ample_ time to scout that. It's no 4-gate, it's no hidden void ray, it's a plain 6-gate push and making drones was a poor decision. Regarding game 1, I won't go into detail, but if someone can't see that Idra again made really poor decisions, I can't help it. Watch better zerg players who will hopefully be seen/developed soon enough. | ||

You are really gonna say that when VCU and Butler just made the Final Four? Upsets happen all the time in real sports dude. | ||

Stop trying to play the wise guy and think you are better than the pro. Its pretty much like Day9 said in one of his dailys. If you do something that is not standard a lot of people will say "its not standard, therefore it is not valid!". Every build ever conceived was not standard when somebody thought it out. It has to start somewhere. | ||

It was beautiful and Idra as always deserve everything bad that happens to him gamewise. Spending three years in Korea and still have so little skill that you need to keep up the insecure high school kid style in order to keep getting recognition is sad. It worked out pretty well for both sides in the end though. Idra gets to bitch and whine in a podcast or video soon enough if he hasn't already while the proffessionals keep winning. Both do what they are good at and seem to enjoy the most. | ||
