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.

Yeah game quality of all the games with idra were absolutely awful except for his final loss, the first 2 games vMC were ok too, but MC obviously played under his skill level. In contrast every single MMA game was topnotch except for g1 vs losira, dunno what happened there. I still need to figure out why and how MC won that final battle vs pure stalker vs hydra infestor if that comba doesnt work.... what does lmao | ||

MMA vs Losira, game #1 of the finals, game #4 of the extended series BO7. Amazing TvZ. Illustrates bwst,, why MMA won the tournament. Dynamite TvZ. PART #1: PART #2: #2. MMA vs Idra. Game #1, Crazy game. MMA blows up his own Orbital, then Idra GG's with the game virtually won. Day9's and Wheats reaction after this game is Priceless in original VOD #3. Losira vs oGsMC, Game #3. TalDereem, MC Forge expands, Losira gets aggressive. AMAZING. REPLAY: http://www.sc-replay.com/replay/05-06-11/56904-IMLosirA-VS-oGsMC.html (Couldn't find VOD yet, but worth watching original cast with either Tastosis or Day9/Wheat if you can find it.) | ||

Comparing IdrA to other foreigners is like comparing Eminem to other white rappers; they both became what they are/were because they are products of their respective environments. (please pardon the indirect use of race to make a point) | ||

It's not like if you go to Korea and come back bringing some extra skill/knowledge it somehow doesn't count as a gain for foreigners. It's a global world, nothing develops in a bubble any more. | ||

Let not pretend IdrA's trip to Korea lasted 1 week. He was exposed to Entus' grueling practice regime. Once you do that, you know what you have to do to remain on top. Not to mention IdrA was doing quite well on the Korean ladder. Take a guy like Incontrol, spends half his day casting, then hovering around ~150 on the North American GM ladder, then expects to do well in MLG? LOL. All these foreigners evacuating Korea as well, so they can participate in "easier" tournaments. Well, I'm happy Koreans came to MLG, and I hope they come to every other damn tournament Tyler and Geoff think they can waltz into with 6 hours practice and win free money. | ||

It took well over a year for IdrA to start winning anything when he moved in with estro and got transferred to cj entus and that was foreign tournaments. Greg was down there for well over 2 years. A guy like him only benefits from the Korean model of practice and even then it takes a long time before you see the benefits, but now he makes his own schedule he's bond to not do as well. You need to perfect your practice. | ||

I think Losira could have probably beaten him in ZVZ - obviously not guaranteed, but Losira IMO is the favored one there. (Who the crap is L? He makes using the TLPD button so annoying!)Edit: fixed with SC2 references to Losira and NesTea. | ||

Or you need to be a true hero of the foreigners like DIMAGA - he's the one responsible for the -2 in Nestea's record!Idra, shame on you for going on tilt! You never recovered  You wouldn't have had to even PLAY MC again if you handled MMA the way we know you could have. Oh well. At least you made about a million people all go "HUUUUUUUH???" simultaneously. | ||

Thorzain didn't get the chance to play July or Moon and Naniwa didn't get the chance to play MMA so we can't be sure how that would have ended. The three Koreans played better than anyone else this weekend but I think the top foreigners can compete with them. To be honest, MC wouldn't even have HAD to play Thorzain again if it wasn't for that stupid loser's bracket stuff. Worst idea ever. I don't get why you reward someone for losing and giving them a second chance. | ||

In fact over his 6 match-ups against foreigners Moon only managed an 8-7 record. Hardly dominant. Anyway, with Dreamhack, NASL live finals and MLG Anaheim within the next few months as well as more foreigners going to Korea, there is little reason to have this argument now as we will soon have a much larger sample size to draw better conclusions from. Congrats, the foreigners are almost the same level as a Code B guy (Moon). Reach for the stars. | ||
