Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

He didn't play that last game with the same intensity it seemed he had in previous, perhaps packing it in a bit not wanting to give up much more than his "standard" predictable Muta/ling/bling?
correct me if I'm wrong and he has something to play for.
Please quit making excuses for your favourite player.
I like both players, but it did seem to be that Idra wasn't caring about the game. I've never seen him "GG" twice in a series except to ex-BW pros (Tyler, Ret, etc.)
I don't think he didn't try as much as he didn't care.
hmm, well it will be interesting to see how the championship pool plays out. I still see wild cards like Morrow being able to get far, if he play at tip top shape!~!

Only an incompetent prick wouldn't take his job seriously...
Idra might be in some trouble when he goes to the winnters bracket considering who will be joining him there. MMA does the same style that just beat Idra, Naniwa is a protoss and Idra can do some weird things in PvZ and Losira is a very good ZvZ player.

Huge upset if TSL3 winner beats IdrA? I would say IdrA is the favourite but not by a ton
Yeah. Idra is probably more accomplished, and has been playing really well this tournament, but Thorzain is pretty damn good, and probably seeking to prove his TSL3 success was more then a fluke.
Although that particular group is so stacked, I don't think anything would be considered an upset. Except, maybe, beating MC, because he's still one scary dude.

the drop? it was in his freaking base rofl
it's called pulling drones, waiting for more units to hatch, then attacking and saving hatchery in the nick of time
maybe the timing was such that Idra could have done all of the above and it would not have mattered, but doing the above is a whole lot better than immediately attack into a force that Idra had no chance of killing at that time
i think mc killed idras spirit with his throat-cutting gesture after he won vs thorzain.
but gotta say that timing push with 2 medivac+stim is bisu to the heart of idra...on that time idra has always been struggling, but many terrans were busy trying to add tanks instead of going to sucha timing drop.

IdrA was outclassed sooooo bad!
err? what?
Well you see. This is teamliquid.net where whenever a player loses, half the people here say that the person who lost just got completely outclassed even when it's not true.
