Hmmm is there usually so much unwarranted whining in these LR threads? Argh. There's so little substance. Just asking if I should really temper my expectations.

That said, that was a fun casual commentary and certainly a different flavor from the cerebral or the excitement based commentary. Nice to see the players have fun.


As soon as IdrA loses every LR-thread ends in a shitstorm sadly.



Unfortunately this.

I remember the NASL LR threads where he lost to zenio in a macro game and zenio "just coin flipped after getting outplayed" I like Idra's playstyle for the most part, he's very refined, but he seems to tilt far too easily and almost defeats himself while there happens to be someone playing against him. If he learned to control his emotions a little bit better, he could be the unstoppable killing machine from the first day of Columbus every time he played.

How are Nani's chances against HuK? Like really. Imo he should be able to win a BO5 since he managed to beat MC but then again HuK claims to be beating MC all the time in practice...

I'd give the edge to Nani here, his PvP just seems a lot better.
The thing in HuK's favour though is that he's on a roll atm, so he might have a lot of confidence and his usually shaky PvP might get a boost because of that.
Looking forward to the series no matter who wins !

It's going to be so interesting. I feel that Naniwa has the superior BO/macro, micro-wise I really don't know who is better.

anyone know how tarson beat thorzain?

He held?



I've known from Tarson last year(september to novembre that he was a beast in the TvT match up. When Terran was dominating every online tournaments in Europe(Go4sc2), Kas was the best rival of Tarson.

Plus the fact that Tarson is very used to Lan events(IEM Cologne + Europe + World) and some other lans(France and Europe).
There is no suprise that he beats the young Thorzain

And maybe to answer more correctly :D, I think he used the common strat in TvT Marine, Medivac Tank, Viking :p

Nah he's not, he just lost a bo3 to Tarson .

No, it's not near the same. His attitude in this tournament has been perfect mannered, he gg'ed every single game also when he won. And he obtains laughter and bad manners from the others, it's not fair.

I don't care what he might or not have said to them in private, but he is smart enough to not bm in public, opposite of the others.

There have been plenty of games he hasn't gg'd in, including the final game vs HuK where he even just said 'lol' and leaves, with HuK sitting directly in front of him. I really don't get Idra's fanboys. You go on and on about him for his attitude then whine when the repercussions roll around. You want that reputation, then you also have to deal with the consequences of acting like a dick to those around you.


If Idra is one, then so is MC , slashing throats, provoking opponents, thumbing down etc

Much worse then simply not saying "gg". People love to hate idra, i get it, they wish they had his skill, all haters are jealous.


Don't even compare MC to idra. MC is a much better player, cooler guy, funnier personality, way more people like him, and has so much fewer haters.

You respect someone for being a dick to others and for not caring what people think? Kinda weird.

Sure, he can be a dick, but I do respect him for the most part, yes.
Why not say what's on your mind? Maybe I only think this because I'm an outspoken person myself.
Who knows...

I find this kinda strange, not necessarily you, but a lot of people are like this, they like him for saying whatever is on his mind, no matter what other people think of it, but then they criticize Naama for saying what's on his mind?

I don't know why people keep harping on Idra's mentality so much. The truth about Idra is that he's just vastly overrated - at least in comparison to the size of his fanbase - and he tends to lose in the most spectacular ways. People saying his "mentality" is the only weakness to his playing style are vastly overestimating an overhyped Brood War B teamer who never saw the light of day.

Well MC has pretty much got this. Naniwa might have pulled a 2-1 but I don't see MC losing a bo7 to him.

So you are just going to write Huk out of this totally then? Even though he has the best chance to win it currently.


Right, should've rephrased that to include Huk as well. I don't see Huk winning either.


Naniwa pretty much won 3 games against MC, only 1 small obs mis-micro lost him the game, how exactly do you not see him winning a Bo7 vs MC?


Every PvP is decided by small things.

MC has seen that Naniwa heavily favors robo tech into fast colossi (does the same in almost all matchups) and MC will show why no one in Korea seems to want to go colossi. With MC having the chance to look over the replays and see what timings he could have had and why he lost game three I don't see him falling again. He was in a superior position in game 3 until he got out-upgraded and his generic safe composition got countered by Naniwa's.

Tarson vs MC should be interesting, I hope that Tarson will play agressive
