We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.
Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.
Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out.

You do understand that the players here at MLG at easily the top 16 Code S players right? IdrA is still better than 95% of the korean progamers.

I'm gonna try to explain IdrA's menality here:
Game 1: FFE is gonna be economically superior to any Zerg opening except 15hatch. If you do the latter, you'll just lose to a cannon rush. The All-in was justified except maybe he should've gone baneling bust instead which july had proven to work.
Game 2: Since cheese didn't work, he went for the 15 hatch and hoped that MC would spare him. That didn't happen.
Game 3: 7:30-8:00 Roach/ling pressure is a popular build against 3gate expand. MC held that off well and teched to Stargate instead. The failure is more of MC's great defense than IdrA's mentality, because that pressure had worked numerous times and Zerg players were praised for it.
There's no excuse for Idra's mentality. He's just been giving up/tilting both in the MMA and MC series.

is Idra now getting Code-S seed?

so idra played mc 3 times in this tourny?

oGsMC has been good-mannered to pretty much everyone but Idra. He's been going to there booths, shaking there hands, etc. He's also been interacting with the crowd more so then any of the other players as well.
Not really sure why people are saying MC is a disgrace and saying Idra isn't (or there saying both are).
Idra's been kinda smack talking MC a bit at this MLG too, its nice to see players with some personality playing against each other.
Also - I doubt Idra gives a shit about the BM lol. IdrA said "MC is by fr the best protoss" MC loses and says "He only won because of jetlag" IdrA was not justified saying shit back to MC? I didn't say Idra wasn't justified. Everyone was just jumping on MC saying disgrace, embarrassment, etc. I don't think any of that is justified considering MC manner throughout the tournament besides his matches with Idra. I'm actually not sure what your saying tbh.
Mailing is part of the hardcore "idra never loses because he's better than everyone else" fanclub. Don't take his words too seriously

not really, idra didn't stutterstep his hydras in so they couldn't hit at the same time and he dropped the fungals when most of his hydras were dead which was another big mistake

what? in GSL he always made it ro32 + (qualified for EVERY one where every foreigner was failing for the most part), even made RO8 one time losing to Jinro and your saying he can't compete? He even beat MVP on steppes of war when MVP was on his sick tvz win streak as well in the GSL to lose game 3 to him close positions metal.
I'm sorry but your post is just wrong, completely wrong.

perfect example of why skill won't do shit if the match-up is broken Fixed.
the MU sure didn't look "broken" in friday's Idra vs MC games.
I don't understand why Idra does these lame cheeses and all-ins or old, outdated zvp styles, when drop heavy, super aggressive zvp styles are obviously much better.

i missed mc's ceremony, what it was?

Key reason Idra lost was that he never harassed the toss'es third base. If protoss get three base they are very tough to beat vs zerg. Other problem was lack of zerglings... All tournament long we were seeing the power of zerglings vs protoss (especially at denying expansions). Once the corrupters scared the colossi off of the field, that was Idra's green light to mass speedlings which own stalkers. Lastly, Idra was supply capped at 200 for sooo long. Can't do that vs protoss...you're letting your best asset larvae just rot in negligence.

That myth just got debunked. one game a fact does not make, learn it and this game will be much more enjoyable
But we can say that a top protoss like MC can win stalkers vs hydra/infestor army

Attention! The Championship Finals will be cast by BOTH casting teams simultaneously! You will have the option of watching Tasteless and Artosis on one stream, or Day9 and DJ Wheat on the other. This will just make Day and DJ look bad  Its like Korean's vs Foreigners, ones Pro's ones Joes. <3 D&D.. but Tasteosis is unbeatable.
tastosis is IMBA.
if there was ever IMBA in starcraft 2, its tastosis.
