You would expect him to have learned that after losing to HuK's hallucinated void rays
I think it either has to do with his way of laddering (where he quits as soon as something doesn't work out) or it was a tactical move to avoid Losira, taking the scenic route to the finals.
Either way, it makes for great drama but I would have loved to see him win.

That's kinda indefensible, man(?). Idra failed pretty hard. No one to blame but himself.
okay I understand. btw can you guys tell me which foreigners got a code A seed into the GSL?
Here are the top 3 who earned it Idra Naniwa Slush
Of those the only one really really likely to take the spot is Naniwa. Idra definately wont and Slush is an uknown. It will then trickle down to ret and haypro who also probably wont take it since they just left korea so thorzain. Thorzain will probably take the spot and if thats 2 likely then if slush doenst take it that spot could trickle as far as sheth but no further. So long story short probably nani and thorzain with the 3rd being anyone.

I don't hate idra, but watch this video to see why idra is being hated. I'd also hate after that.
ROFL. I just love wheat and day9's expression after the game.
DJ Wheat is just priceless in this Totally speechless lol
How about the faces of the ENTIRE audience! LOLOL. That guy standing there with his hands on his head sums the whole feeling up. I really hope Idra gets a chance to explain himself. That MMA self destruct of his CC must have been on purpose right? how could you mis-click and then let those tanks get off three shots without stopping them?
He was taking out the rocks, and then he missclicked when he sieged his tanks.
Man, Idra lost a serious amount of fans yesterday.
Anyways, congratulations to MMA! My favourite non-zerg-player won Also nice to see all three races in the TOP3! These balance discussions are so f**** annoying! Mods should swing the banhammer a little harder I think ...
Let's hope the players who decide to move to Korea will do well in Code A! I know they are suppose to live in the gom house, but I also hope that they can make practise arrangements with some team.
Sports and e-sports is entertainment - MC is the best at his job. Brilliant player, awesome personality, he has it all! Completely the opposite of Idra, who should really think about quitting, he just doesn't have what it takes.

The thing that gets to me is that, you can just right click the rocks to attack them.
Feridan, idra has it just as much as MC, they both bring big crowds in their own way, MC by acting arrogant on stage, and idra by raging in different ways.
But in the end i really like the MC comment about him talking to idra often, how does a guy, that is that poor at english talk to idra? i mean he must have is translater stuck on hes ass all day i guess

You do realise that even with out tournament success he makes a comfortable living off of his team salary?
Add to that the fact that he is consistently finishing in the top end of tournaments.. no, should infact not think about quitting.

They both also bring in people by being in the upper echelon of all of eSport skill wise.

If they feel they don't have a chance then why play the game at a professional level at all? The skill between the foreigners/Koreans isn't really that close. Look at the domination of the Koreans that came over. 3 out of the top 4 spots with the one Korean being knocked out by one of his countryman. Think of what the top 8 would of looked like if MKP, MVP, Bomber, and Nestea showed up. The best foreign players (small number) are equal at best with mid-tier Koreans.
I just wanted to point out that july was knocked out by moon and moon was knocked out by mc. So the koreans never lost a best-of match against a non-korean in the championship bracket. (moon lost one or two in the pool play, I think, and MC lost the first set against Idra.)
wow, koreans dominating mlg, they were only be eliminated by another koreans. Moon eliminated July, then MC > Moon, then Losira > MC, then MMA vs Losira.
