well, booing cruncher was a dick move (agreed there). however, you can be a star and have dick fans.


Ignoring CrunChers handshake at the end was also classless, though that might just be a show for the crowd.


agreed again. but he is still one of the most popular players at mlg (classless or not; showman or not).

Sorry, just got back guys.

The eastern on the schedule is showing that there were supposed to be games starting 22 minutes ago? Has the schedule shifted to the next hour instead?

Hopefully MMA just threw those games against Rain because he knew he would play IdrA so quickly right after. I remember he complained about the game scheduling at the last MLG when he won. Maybe this is part of his solution for dealing with that somehow? I like both him and IdrA well enough, I just would like to see good games..


No he isnt going to throw games lol silly thing to say.


Did you watch his game 2 and 3 versus Rain? He had chances to win both, but got too cute in game 2 and then failed to pull scv's when Rain's lone banshee racked up 19 kills in his mineral line.


But MMA doesn't even play Idra today... does he?


Yea.. I meant Ret. Which debunks my whole 'theory.' On top of the fact that it's mostly silly.

rofl at them going to cast DongRaeGu vs Tyler in a decided group that cant change anything instead of Ret vs Rain for a spot in the winners semifinals.


Seriously, Tyler v. DRG is going to be a complete roflstomp, there is no point watching it. I have no idea why they're trying to hype the match and why commentators keep saying "Tyler is doing pretty well this tournament" when he is getting fairly smashed in the pool play.

But we came here to watch that roflstomp

Can somebody please explain Group C situation?

If Ret beats Rain and MMA beats Ret, wouldn't it be a theee-way tie since each of the players have a set over the other? And all would be 4-1? Would it go to map socre?

i'm glad idra won the first game with corruptors; the shit still works guys, you just have to have better macro! it works even better with some drops ^^


Wtf kind of statement is this lmao. You should win with any composition with better macro. In this case he won because Cruncher is not good, and it's a map where taking your third is ridiculously hard in PvZ.


"any composition" can't really say that. If he had no corruptors for example, he would obviously lose.

i'm referring to tons of people who claim that roach/hydra/corruptor is awful/sucks/outdated/outclassed etc. and shouldnt be used anymore dont even bother learning it. there are a surprising number of them and it just makes me go -.-


Obviously mass ling isn't going to work against mass zealots on hold position with 10 colossi behind them, but if you are 4-5 base to 2 base then you could win with a far inferior composition. There isn't a point to learning it, it is awful and outdated. Most people who play this game are not IdrA facing Cruncher, they'll be laddering against people of equal skill and the composition is garbage against equal skill.


I'm assuming you've never played against 3 base turtle toss. You can have all the macro in the world, and you won't win unless you have perfect unit composition.


Nothing in my post was about 3 base turtle toss.

I think you'd be surprised as to how effective say, roach/ling/corruptor into hydra/ling/corruptor is. It's a great way to take advantage of a fast third when facing a FFE; the addition of roaches to lings makes you a lot safer to 6 gates, roaches/lings are gas light, they are quick and can deny thirds, corruptors can clean out collossi and let you transition to hydra, raoches/hydras/lings are all good in drops, etc.

It's not awful and outdated. It still works when you play it appropriately and its still definitely worth learning. The heavy ling style people love is great too no doubt, but it has its own weaknesses as well. One should learn both IMO, but I think learning the roach style is better because it requires much more on your macro, instead of a crutch that is infestors and an unfamiliar playstyle.

damn, idra is looking mighty fine, and has really come a long way from his long ass hair/basement dweller look hehe.


The outside changed a bit, not the inside.
The way he talks and keeps on behaving shows that he is still full of childish arrogance.

But you can't blame Idra alone for that, you also have to blame all the American commentators who keep on referring to him as the macro god Zerg, the players who is unbeatable in late-game etc...
I can name 3-4 non Korean Zergs who are at least as good overall, yet they never came close to be congratulated half as much (Nerchio, Stephano, Morrow, mb Dimaga).


Hahaha hilarious post, comparing those with idra is just genious!

Stop posting. All I have seen from you today in this thread is being a dick against everyone that says anything about IdrA that you doesn't like. Fanbot...


This caming from a guy named ' lol ' with 160 posts...


You're just biased haters really telling nerchio dimaga and stephano are better than idra is just plain stupid.

They're just behind schedule. Have been for a while now. I doubt they will postpone the games an entire hour.

Idra just straight outplayed him in both games. Cruncher seems like the king of artosis pylons..

The handshake thing was a bit over the top for my tastes though. Not typing "GG" is fine, but handshaking is one of the basic tenants of sportsmanship. Utterly classless if completely unsurprising.


Yeah. All the ingame stuff, whatever. I enjoy watching IdrA play in spite of that because he's a good player. Not shaking hands though, that's just low.
