I'm sure he's worked with him plenty of times and they have a good relationship with one another. Don't read too much into it.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

the games were so awesome Im really happy for + Show Spoiler +
Idra
winning
but Im little bit disappointed by lack of enthusiasm, I just can't see happiness on the stage, something feels wrong. Maybe it's just that nearly everyone there is chinese and simply dont understand : / feels like I was the only one screeming at home.

Usually I'd agree with you but that Intel rep did not seem very pleased.

Well, seems that the crowd doesn't care. Not too surprised, really.

What it does prove, sadly, is that SC 2 has completely and utterly failed in China.

whoever had the idea to have this in china. should be fired... I think I was louder then the whole crowd



When WCG was in China it was probably one of the most amazing esport event ever. The crowd was massive and incredibly loud.


Even when it was just Stork and Jaedong they still cheered them on like they were the home town favorites.

One of the best live events from sheer audience participation alone <33.

How dares he to win with an all-in, what a terrible player. I would have respect for his win if he played a standard game. How can he even has fans with this playstyle?


Please tell me you're being sarcastic.


He's just trolling me. Theres a difference between doing nothing but All-in's to doing All-in's only when the 9 planets are aligned though.


Trolling 'you'? I don't even know who you are?


Who cares I'm too happy Idra won atm. Off to bed.


Ya, sounds like you definitely acted the same way to idra if he played like elfi >.>


Like I said, theres a difference between All-in'ing every game and All-in'ing once every 10,000 games.


Can you send me the 10000 replay's from IdrA? I would love to see his other 9999 non-All-ins. Fact it, you're an hypocrite, hating Elfi for doing an All-in in a finals while loving IdrA for doing the same. Only because 'he does it less often'.

Either way, 'of to bed' I would say

That's not really accurate. Idra doesn't generally all-in. Elfi plays a really annoying style of Protoss, while at the same time demonstrating the lack of refinement in his play. It's obvious Idra is better, but Elfi will win games thanks to All-ins or Idra pulling an Idra and bending under pressure like a cheap asian spoon.


While I do agree (i'm just messing around a bit), it's strange to call a strategy annoying. In the end, a person must do what works in order to win and as long as someone is not using cheats or hacks he's allowed to do anything within the confinements of the game. The strategies BitByBit performed were legit and purely a problem of Blizzard's balance and design team. Sometimes I just we people just feel to morally superior within this game, while all you need to do is winning so you can recieve money.


In terms of Macro and Micro Elfi was clearly inferior. If his winning was due to imbalance, I'm not saying. But when you see an shittier player take a game off a better player, it's hard to vent your frustration to blizzard when you can easily just call out the bad player for being 'cheesy' or 'shitty' or whatever else people call Elfi.

No offense to him, but watching him not micro anything the whole series and use pretty gimmicky play to take games off Idra is just a bit underwhelming to watch in the Finals of a tournament like IEM.

It's the community who voted, so Idras performance doesn't matter.

Sadly, i gotta agree with Idra that the finals should have been Puma vs Idra. But Elfi played well throughout the tournament and deserves top 3 finish easily.

Congrats TOP 3.


Idra can only blame himself for the lack of perfect final. If he'd not lost to elfi in the groups he wouldnt have been on Puma's bracket side. I bet he's not THAT upset how it all went though haha


he still could have, brackets were randomized
