Do you guys have no common sense? Don't post results for matches that haven't happened yet, even under spoiler tags.

The DDE played to win thing is the msot retarded thing I've ever heard.. Seriously. Do you really think Idra practices 10 hours a day to lose? Do you think he figures out the best way to play every matchs ups to lose?

If you don't harass or do damage or have good push vs zerg you just won't win.

The metal game is sad, but blaming DDE on this one is just wrong. Complexity made a mistake to use Ladder metal rather than MLG one. You can't blame DDE for being like ehh he's close positio I'll be aggressive. No player in his positon will be like hey we should rehost so we arent in close position..

I'm a huge IdrA fan, and I don't know how anyone could criticize DDE. You play to win, and he did, in fine style in fact. Close positions or not, DDE deserved to win today. Congrats to DDE and yay for a good showing by sixjax in this tourney.

Well it's obvious DDE won cause guess who is their coach? Artosis, and that guy knows every little bit of IdrA's playstyle.. I think that helped DDE quite alot.

Congrats dde. <3

I think it's about time bigger tournaments implement some good old KeSPA rules, starting with no chat during games (punished by instant disqualification).

U did play to win and you should be proud of it, this game just like any other game or sport is ment to be played in order to win by any means necessary, its not for little bitches(pardon my french) that just cry about it when they lose complaining about the way they lost.
Pro gaming is your job, if ur not playing to win than your not doing it well.

Imagine Rafael Nadal playing only to please the crowd, he wouldnt be first, he wouldnt win any Grand Slam and neither would he have such a fan base. Hes playing for himself, he plays to win and doesnt care how he wins as long as he does. True tennis fans will cheer for him because of that and not because he is playing to please the crowd or because he whines when he loses.

Than again this is the internet, and i dont think its ready for StarCraft to become a sport.


Please don't spout crap like this. Playing to win can't be used to justify playing on maps every sane person deemed imbalanced and removed months ago.

Again, this is not dde's fault AT ALL, but don't call the person who loses in that circumstance and gets mad a bitch, Idra or not. I can guarenfuckentee that ret or morrow would be mad as well.



In a strategy game, people play to take advantage features of the maps such as zerg wants to engage fights in open space while terran and toss prefer to fight in narrow chokes. Even in broodwar, people will take advantage of certain maps such muta harass if there is space behind mineral line. You may think its not fair but if the players has knowledge that close spawn is possible, the players need to adapt. What did you expect DDE to do on close position metro? 1 barrack expand? FE?No, he is going to use the strongest strategy which just happened to be 2-rax. You can't blame the player for trying to win. You made it sound like its DDE's fault having ladder maps which is just not the case. Players play to win because its their job. Tourney organizers will try to choose maps and "players" that will bring the most entertaining games.

So Idra lost all 4 games on same map in same close positions? Because he raged and bmed after every loss, not just that one.

He didn't BM or rage on a single lose. Plz watch the games.

Really impressed with the Sixjax guys lately. I was one of the haters when they were selected in the NASL, but they've clearly worked hard and won me over.

Would be cool to see how well they fare in EU tournaments.

And after the finals this statement is even more true.

Sixjax fighting!

I don't think Artosis has time to coach anyone in his team. He barely has time to keep in decent shape for NASL.

Edit: Also can anyone give me a quick rundown of the games? Someone said a few posts up that they played on close position Meta for 4 games?? Is that even allowed?

That was obviously a joke.

Hey guys. I just want to apologize for any of the problems that the stream had this weekend, as I was running the production myself. I have always cast solo on my own stream and was admittedly not prepared for the handling of additional casters, and there was a time or two where the stream went down purely because my home Internet connection couldn't keep up. I had an audio driver fail during the IdrA vs. ViBe game 3 and I will be re-casting that one for YouTube as a result.

I've got to say that the Metalopolis vs. MLG Metalopolis issue was handled poorly and I am willing to accept some blame for that. Who knows how the series would have gone had they been at cross positions? dde had already shown in Game 1 that he had some effective strategies against IdrA, and I can't say for certain that dde didn't just choose Metalopolis because he knew there was a possibility of close positions. Either way, this was not a best of one series, it was a best of seven. If you believe that IdrA became tilted because of Game 3 and couldn't regain his composure for the rest of the games, well then that speaks more about his personality than his gameplay. Keep in mind that IdrA defeated FXOqxc and DignitasSeleCT on his way to the grand finals without breaking a sweat. Don't diminish dde's accomplishment because of a poor decision by us, the tournament organizers.

Finally I want to make a point about the last day being cast from replays instead of live. It was a last-minute decision that was debated heavily by the tournament organizers, players, and casters. I will say that there were some accusations both Friday night and Saturday of stream cheating and with thousands of dollars on the line, we could not in good conscience risk the integrity of the outcome. I hope all of you will understand that.

All in all, even with this tournament's unique set of problems, I enjoyed being a part of it and am happy to see that some people can look past those issues and enjoy the tournament for what it was, a great display of the North American StarCraft 2 scene.

You just shouldn't bother too much Josh. You're like the face of the tourny and everybody looks at you for every hiccups that happened during the whole thing. But much bigger production crew had much bigger issues.

It just sucks that most of the people complaining aren't the one that follows the tournament since the beginning, but the one that just decided to tune in during round of 4 and saw some issues in pretty much every series without really knowing why it happened this way or knowing that the tournament run really smooth the whole time except maybe 3 or 4 games.

Both the amateur bracket and the actual final tournament had some really awesome games and seeing a bit of a newer top player win a big tournament is always nice!

Keep it up.

He didn't say you hated him, he said you were hating on him, and yeah, callnig someone a dick probably falls under the category of "hating".

good games from dde! i was rooting for idra, but you can't win everything
