The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans:

1. Whining about stream
2. Bashing other games
3. Flaming other users
4. Bashing players
5. Complaining about imbalance

Basically just be respectful. Aside from that, enjoy the games, make sure you bring an umbrella and have some delicious waffles! (#)

Idra's rage and skill are directly proportional. The more chill he is sounding, the worse he is playing.

Sad but so true. :/

He's so " meh whatever" about his losses too.
I mean, ask any other player about the Noblesse serie, they would not anwser like it was nothing. -_-

He acknowledged he played sloppy, he didn't really justify Shattered though...and then he knew he messed up holding the bunker rush. It was nothing exceptional from either player really.
the farm ends here

No, he just doesn't want to lose his fanbase.

He has a moronic fanbase if they DONT want him to use the best builds possible.


How do you make more fans when you use the same debate-ably OP every TvP? I know that hasn't been his best match-up but hell, that's like saying do you want to just all-in your way to the top? If Mvp abused that build, I would honestly stop watching him so much.

You'd be a fan of watching someone not trying as hard to win I guess.


Or you'd be a fan of someone confident enough in their macro skills that they know they'll win either way, so they do it in the way that doesn't require a drop in fanbase and in interest.

No, you're being crazy now. You might as well ban all cheese. It isnt going to happen and players that never use it even once in a while are one dimensional and usually subpar.


I'm not saying I don't agree with the cheese, I think you have to utilize the 1/1/1, but saying it makes no sense to lose respect for a player who does it is a bit off. I actually like seeing the 1/1/1 for entertainment purposes, that last game was one of the most entertaining so far, but seeing a macro game shows a full range of the players abilities.

It isn't even cheese. Cheese is defendable when scouted. 1/1/1 isnt.



If your telling me that Kiwikaki played that perfectly, I'd have to call you sadly biased.

Well no, but it doesn't matter if he had, he still would've lost, just by a less convincing margin. If players would ever even lose *closely* it would be a little less demoralizing, but it's always a complete roflstomp.

Shouldn't have to play perfect to hold a 1base allin anyway.


How do you know?
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

Well to be fair the first quote was from like half a year ago. Recently (before huk went to EG) he has acknowledged his improvement and now that they are teammates i'm sure he has gotten to know him a little more


actually in a fairly recent ITG he called Huk trash again -.-

LOL you expect teammates to shit all over each others in interviews in front of 10s of thousands of watchers? If you arent biased towards your own TEAM you probably arent a great teammate.

Lol every Idra fan always praises his honesty and shit it's just funny to see their silly delusions shattered. He isn't a douche because he's just being honest, he's just a douche.

Those can both still be true based on IdrA's mentality

He had also stopped blatantly calling Huk "bad" for a while before the trade, but that may have been in anticipation of the announcement.

I think the facial hair question was the most important part. The people want to know, and Day[9] delivers.

Stop you can't blame him for using a strong build


You can, MVP has self respect so he refuses to use 1-1-1, there's a real player


self respect refusing to use a specific build? that's just retarded, thats like saying its self respect to not 6pool someone

dont think MVP can pull off 1-1-1 builds as perfectly as puma does.

MVP would more than likely pull it off better than Puma.

I dislike the 1/1/1. It's broken. I don't abuse it when I play. I play straight up. I could use it and do extremely well but what's the point? It's like cheating to get infinite items in a game. It's boring. It's stupid. And it's broken.

Lol you complain too much, Kiwi needed to stall for time and he didnt do that.


Stalling is not the answer, because as you stall, terran gains an eco lead and makes more marines, which makes immortals and phoenixes ineffective


lol wat, how does terran get an eco lead? u have guardian shield + mass zeal immortal, ur immortals tank the 1st few tank shots while ur zealots get close to the marines, ur phoenix is are taking the banshees out and once theres no banshee threat u lift the tanks leaving the marines exposed, the more kiwi stalled the more time he would have had to get more immortals + phoenixs out cus of chrono boost while pumping 4 zeals at a time.. its extremely defendable if u execute everything perfectly


There you have it. No one here can argue with TT1. Kiwi chose the map because he wanted to defend the 1-1-1. His execution failed though. That's all.



Have to add KiWi to the "more balls than brains" category with MC choosing something you have 10% chance against.


Kiwikaki is actually a very smart player, he probably chose that map knowing that Puma would 111 and had everything set up to defend it, it's just that it's a very very very fragile situation and your decision making and micro has to be exceptional. Kiwikaki got anxious and engaged poorly and early.

No one said he isn't smart, just that with as much brains as he has he has EVEN more balls.

this is kinda false.
even after huk won dreamhack and hsc, idra was asked on inside the game what he thought of huk and he just said his opinion hasnt changed at all and huk was really abusive.
it was only recently (persumably before huk's transfer was made public but after the fact) that he said huk was good.

to be fair though idra thinks EVERY protoss/terran is really abusive.

Yeah Interview like that really surprised me. He lost in the most infuriating ways, which admittedly was his fault at times. Though odd that he seemed at ease.

No he didn't. He said that MVP didn't send out their best players and that's true. He doesn't even know who Noblesse is.

If you're a progamer who intends to win anything - as presumably IdrA does - you should learn about players in a competition who are better than you, as Noblesse is better than IdrA.

Idra cracks me up in a good way. I used to "hate" him in SC1, but now, I sort of like him. I would even go as far as saying that I'm a fan of his.

The only problem I have with him is that he often gives up on a game too fast. I'm really disappointed when I see him do that.
