Idra still finished as the best NA player in this event. Seems to be well established right now that Korea>EU>NA, and the skill-differences appear to be pretty huge at the moment. I am very curious how this is gonna develope throughtout the next months/ with the next expansion. Because the 2 other best NA players arent even here.(sheth huk) Not much of an accomplishment. Still better than Select. And his MLG results are still better than those of other NA players. I am not trying to defend Idra and I don't believe he has a great future ahead of him in SC2, but objectively he has not fallen as much as some people are claiming.
no arguably he plays almost the same game he played half a year ago, others got better

lol that wasn't even close, either hang up the keyboard or start taking the game seriously again idra Exactly how I feel... He seems to have lost all motivation. During interviews in Korea idrA would always be confident and you could tell he really wanted to win. Now he's just meh. If you don't care about the game anymore why are you still angry when you lose? Without his skill idrA is just a bm douche. That's because instead of practicing new builds and figuring out new strategies, he has just latched on to the idea that the game still has major balance issues and that as a zerg he's bound to lose no matter what he does. Source?
Any SotG with IdrA on it, most recent OneMoreGame podcast with IdrA on it, probably half of IdrA's interviews... Go find them, those are the sources for his statement.

apparently Nerchio was a counter strike player previously as well but was around c+ in bw.

Whatttttt? I am from the CS scene? That can't be! I played SCBW but not at competetive level only C+/B- on icc. Counter Strike was just for fun to play with friends
Before Starcraft 2 i played alot of games like MMORPGs, FPSs etc ^^ but it's hard to say that i was from CS scene
Nerchio does bm a decent bit although I think he has gotten better recently. I have noticed that depending on who he is playing he can be pretty friendly sometimes, he had a series vs demuslim b4 demu moved to arizona and he was pretty chatty and friendly with demu in that, he also seemed to get along pretty well with beasty as most of the time they played in cups they would continually just poke fun at each others races and stuff

nerchio is good but his zvp sucks...he was 2-0 by naniwa at the european battlenet 2011 After he 2-0'ed White-Ra. Socke has Nerchio's number too, he beat him in both the EU invitational and the Shoutcraft invitational. Protoss seems to be the only race he loses to overall
white ra hasn't been playing amazing recently even though he is quite far in the ipl2.
in the ipl2 cloud beat nerchio 2-0 to take him down to losers bracket.

gezz people need ot stop using 1 result from 1 tourny as someone is bad at something. nobody has a 100% rate and Yes idrA lost and zvz is super volatile. aside from Nestea who seems to never lose. Everybody loses around 35-50% of the time.

Pretty awesome build by Thorzain. Liked how he showed the hellions while building up the Banshees, so that Nerchio prepared for the wrong thing.
|
Super super strong 2port. Surprised we don't see that more often !

well he lost to socke and naniwa recently 2-0 and lost to cloud 2-0
now zergs normally do well vs terran but losing to socke who is a good but not great protoss is quite bad, although no shame in losing to naniwa who is eu's best protoss

With a CC and hellions, made it impossible to scout. Yeah looked pretty solid to me.

A bit cheesy by ThorZaIN but I guess you gotta throw that in when you play a Bo5

Just read at Liquipedia about Nerchio:
He played Brood War for 10 years, mostly offline. Competed on iCCup for three seasons, and reached C+ rank.
People really start playing such games at the age of 8 or 9 nowadays? ;O
