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 think MC's knocked him out of 3 tournaments. You didn't see his recent games against Protoss right? He plays a new style lings/balenings/infestor with attack/drop everywhere and he destroyed Naniwa with this style in the WCG qualifier. | ||

Also i am very very impressed by Slush's performance, didnt expect hed be top 16 tbh. I wish that Nani played MMA and Idra played Losira, i actually think that in those match ups Nani and Idra would have won. | ||

I did see it, but one win versus Naniwa doesn't undo months of losing to Protoss. He lost to I think LoveTT 2-0 in the Stars War tournament recently and 2-0 to Kiwikaki in NASL. | ||

The sad thing about Idra is that being right is more important to him than being a good player. Been right what are you talking about ? Hes keep whining about zerg been underdog when they have dominated all pro scene - winning 3 times the gsl and a world cup and so many more - Its annoying for any non fanboy to see such excuses for a player who has nothing under his belt - , been a mediocre code s player and his only " achievement " is the king of the beta tournament , - while other good players such as jinro getting qqing when they not performing well in tournaments | ||

I know they're not GSL level wins but his only achievement is not King of the Beta. | ||

Don't forget, he was first foreigner to get into Code S. Also consistently kept getting into Ro16 or higher, usually Ro8 if I'm right. Which is more impressive than Jinro's sprint to Ro4, it shows Idra is much more consistent in high play, never being dropped in code S. Had he stayed in Korea he would easily be mentioned along the names of Nestea and Losira. | ||

Because he saw that he was taking the gold before , ( no way to know he killed his own cc ) and didnt bother checking he is just rebuilding it. ( its like poker , you think its easy observing but playing it with limited information is HARD ) + his premature gg's all the time. Those 2 reasons combined | ||

My bad then sorry about tournament perfomance , but still if he wasnt the most noticeable na player he wouldnt have got all this hype . Also its pretty obvious that koreans are miles ahead than non ones terms of sc2 both in mechanics - apm and understanding of game | ||

I think that says quite a bit for Idra's consistancy as well. MC has also lost quite a bit. In the GSLTL's he was taken taken out when he needed to win two in a row. Won one, lost the other. At the most recent team league, he lost quite humiliatingly against Polt. Now, the last two GSL's, code S and the super league, out in the first round as well... I'm an MC fan, but by your arguments, MC is equally inconsistent. | ||

Or he might have fallen away like Check/Zenio both of whom performed as well as he did while he was in Korea. | ||
