yes, Idra is advancing, unless someone from Dreamhack comes on and says otherwise.
The webpages @ Dreamhack and others are listing them as Match record, then "game differential" (which isn't the official next ordering mechanism), then by Alphabetical order. This is why BratOK & Idra are actually listed in the wrong spots in a few places. Socke won his group, but a lot of places are listing BratOK as winning it.

Then again Moon sucked.
Lol Moon sucks... so Tarson is worse? So he's shit?
Jeeze all this Tyler/Moon/Grubby hate today, it's so ridiculous.
Grubby is not a progamer caliber yet. He's good enough to take games off progamers but still isn't at that level. He's like Vibe and PainUser who are also decent players but really has no hope of winning any tournaments.
Tyler and Moon have great mechanics that would carry them far but seems to make the dumbest decisions in games and cause them to lose close games.
I agree Moon has poor decision-making, but that doesn't mean he "sucks". Look at his foreign tournament performances despite his sometimes awkward control - he's still dominating foreign players out there. NASL auto-qualifier despite the Korea lag, 2nd at IEM WC this year, Top 8 MLG Columbus. If he can improve his unit control I think he could be a top Code A player and potentially be a decent Code S player... too bad he's not attempting to qualify.
Grubby was recently put in 2nd place on DreamHacks's official bracket.
Doesn't matter. According to their own rules and announcements idra should advance. Their rules state "The seed will be decided by won matches, won games and who won the group stage match between possibly tied players." They both have 3 won matches, so they tie there. Idra has 7 won games, grubby has 6 won games. Idra advances.

How is Moon's play embarrassing? He won the game long ago, Tarson just has exceptional(ly bad) GG timing.
Sending out workers to deal with 6 marines + medivac doesn't really matter at that point.
Did you see how many banelings he threw at tanks, how many infestors he tossed away and didn't control his mutas?
That's embarrassing. Who are you kidding?
So embarrassing that he won the game, right? I agree his control leaves a lot to be desired, but if that's the problem with Moon then he really has the potential to be one of the best players around.
Just because you won doesn't necessarily mean your performance was equal to how you typically play.

I totally understand why Moon played so sloppily at the end. It's frustrating as hell to play someone like that.
This isn't a random ladder game. People should stop bashing Tarson, he should stay in the game as long as he feels he has a chance, even a small one.
Well, it turns out he DIDN'T have a chance. Even with the sloppy play, throwing his units away, Moon still won. What's the point of microing 5 Marines when you're 20 supply vs 100+?
Anyway, Tarson is 0-2 and is as good as gone now, so good riddance.
