@ jmbthirteen

See what happens when you try to troll, some people take you seriously lol =p

i was gonna put /sarcasm at the end but I thought it was pretty obvious, you know saying only taking 2 of the 3 podium spots is bad, thats a joke people.

I'm assuming everything was harder to set up as it was in China instead of Germany where all ESL's staff members are living. Theirs europeans events like IEM Cologne will probably always be better in the preparation aspect.

This is so unexcepted from Idra from what we saw recently (untill the group stage). I really hope that wasnt "just a good day" and he will confirm in the IPL and MLG.

Intel had another 1000$ i7 processor from their last generation, pretty sure they made it only to milk a little extra money out of the hardcore e-peen crowd. You pay like over 500$ extra for a speed increase that isn't very noticeable, especially with the games that are out right now (you think you really need a six-core with 3.33ghz on each?)
If I were Hasu, I'd get the other players to sign it then e-bay it off as a trophy for more money.
They probably gave it as a complimentary prize because people weren't buying enough of those things. You can make a decent rig for the cost of one of those, easily.
And yeah, the after-stream is showing a decent audience watching LoL. Guess everyone went there.
But given the success of other e-sports events in China, there don't seem to be *that* much of an audience at IEM in the first place. Huh...
And that's what she said.

I thought the whole Demuslim not showing up came off pretty sarcastic too.

You know, if Demulsim did go, they could have swept the podium.

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.


Well, Elfi's micro and macro can only be inferior or superior to IdrA as two players generally do not play on a similar level as we even see clear differences between top plays of the same skill levels (compare MVP, Bomber and MMA for example). That people are calling Elfi 'cheesy' and 'shitty' is their problem and it's of cource the most simple to vent your frustration, I just don't think that these comments need to be taken seriously as it is similar to simple 'sports behaviour' were we call the other team bad just for winning against your personal favourites.

However, I do agree that his micro was quite bad but if such a player still manages to reach second place (or third place when he would faced Puma instead of HasuObs) i'm still impressed by it, disregarding how he managed to get here.

Right after they showed the real APM tab, where elfi was sitting at 70 and Idra at 120 average APM.

The 190 APM was just when elfi was moving his army.
