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.

I mean, it was a really sad moment, but ... goddammit, IdrA, you give us some wonderfully amusing games to chew on. Always gonna be a fan, if only for that.  Yeah in the chat afterwards, MMA typed something along the lines of "why gg? no understand?" Even he didn't know why IdrA gave up lol On June 06 2011 12:58 Chainfire99 wrote: Their reactions really highlighted their knowledge of the game. Right because all four casters, MMA, and the entire audience (all of which thought IdrA's insta-gg was unwarranted) have no knowledge of the game. | ||

I was one of those "whaaaaaats". | ||

Haha, I'm actually surprised no one has brought that up. Except I don't think Huk is as good as MMA. I think MMA had an off day against him because, to be honest, I think Huk is about mid-code A level, and is certainly one of the lower code S players. But I digress. MMA has shown how good he CAN be in GSLTL and now in MLG. He's definitely code S quality in my mind. | ||

Don't wanna post the link cos it's probably taking advertising too far but it's on justintv. Search my username. Most of the VoDs (incl. fast forwarding function) are already online on the MLG website though - just click on the three dashes on the MLG player. | ||

Honestly if foreigners just put some more time and dedication into the game I'm sure some of them would reach the level that LosirA, MMA, July, and MC are at. Naniwa and ThorZain would easily be Code-S. Other European players such as MorroW, Dimaga, Mana, Whitera, Naama all clearly have a ton of skill at their disposal and just need to devote themselves to the game. IdrA needs to fix his mindset and he would probably be so as well. Regardless, these are just opinions. I was very impressed with this MLG, and hope the next will be at least as good. | ||

MMA had a small drop in the back of IdrA's base which was a bit annoying but not game-breaking. MMA *didn't* have the gold expo up (he accidentally killed his own OC lol) which caused him to push out in the first place... but IdrA thought MMA was a lot further ahead than he actually was. Therefore, although IdrA decisively smashed MMA's push, IdrA gg'ed. He would have toppled MMA easily with a counter attack (or could have macroed or whatever). | ||

You can go to the MLG website and watch the VOD, but basically Idra was way ahead in Game 1 and was most likely going to win. He pushed in the middle of the map, destroying a big part of MMA's army, and as he pushed up he saw that MMA had taken his gold expansion (though it was late...watch the VOD), and then he just abruptly GG'ed. Honestly when I saw it I thought he was being really BM and saying GG as if to say "OK I won, you should leave the game now," that's how far ahead he was. | ||
