I'm far from a pro but I feel my ability dwindles after only 3 games ;P They should've allowed the poor guy a bit of a break in my opinion. Perhaps run the stc vs huk game in between one of the series.
Diverzee you do realize MC had to play the exact same amount as Idra did right?
Well, that could contribute to my point as well. I think a lot of us felt the Idra vs MC games were not as good as the Idra Bomber games. If the guys would've been allowed some rest before their game (and huk vs stc during it) I think their epic rematch would've been more epic.

Calm down there is no reason to say things like that...
Wow...someone is QQ
1st of all, while IdrA was playing his matches on the mainstream MC was playing 3 set series against MKP in a extremely micro intensive battle, Puma in another 3 set game and before that, Ret on the beta stream
If you want to do a comparable skill analysis Bomber = MKP or slightly in Bombers favour HongUn < Puma and Ret = Boxer
Dont be so ignorant and a hater.
You have to admit MC lucked out when Puma beat Polt, but yeah both had difficult runs.

he can't 1a with infestors
He just had his greater spire finish...how is that not teching???
He spent infinity gas on banelings. Greater spire at 24 minutes is pretty late. Roaches suck vs. blink stalker. Mass lings with infestor support. Well upgraded ultras seal the deal. You then follow that up with a brood lord transition to seal the deal. He had a huge macro lead at one point and wasted it by trying to end the game prematurely with non-stop aggression. I think he is very uncomfortable with ZvP. Makes me wonder if him and Huk are practicing together at all. Disappointing because he has one of the best ZvTs in the world.
IdrA plays on NA server, HuK is in the OGS/TL house practicing on korean server...
They will practice together when IdrA, Puma and HuK meet up to live in korea in november i beleive idra said, until then, HuK joining EG has been nothing more than financial backing

What are you talking about? He took down Idra's third and only cut probes for a short time. He lost next to nothing and expoed pretty quickly after. Not every attack is all-in.
Lol seriously. It was a timing attack when IdrA had like 10 lings on the map, sorry that MC didn't let him go up to 80 drones no problem because the map isn't Dual Sight.
The difference I notice between a lot of korean pro timing attacks and foreigner pro timing attacks is that the Koreans often cut workers. People think it's "allin" but it's really just having as many minerals as possible by cutting workers for a few minutes. Especially versus zerg it doesn't matter because zerg has to invest into units instead of drones, so you're cutting workers for about an equal amount of time during the attack.

Outclassed Idra, sure. Looks to be back? Rofl. I'd say Sase looks way better. Huk is on a different level than MC as well. (Though with PvP anything is possible)
Lol sase? Just no. Maybe when he can win a freaking series in code a especially against fruit dealer, then I'll say sase is good. Until then, he doesn't hold a candle to MC.

-> makes banelings
?????? I don't get it.
Well what unit would you pick against that sort of deathball? MC was on 4 base economy, at that stage protoss can complain about having weak units but it won't matter because they just stream out so fast. He could have hoped for a large baneling hit to kill off most of the stalkers to overwhelm the ground army, or transition into curling up in a ball and waiting for heart of the swarm to come out. idrA decided that he had better things to do, so he went for banelings.
how are u guys even saying idra was tired that last game, he was so tired that he got surprised from those blink stalkers to pick off that third? good player from mc making it unexpecting and clearing the overlords
A Message to everyone who thinks that Idra's Run to the final 4 was epic: MC's Run was just as long, but with 1 MORE match! He has gone through marineking, Puma, Ret, Rain, and Idra so far! That man wants a code S position and he will win this tourney if that is what it takes.
