Binski snipes the fifth of Suppy, but at the cost of losing all his tanks and the majority of his Marines, still with no fourth of his own. Suppy closes-out the game soon after. 2-0 Suppy, GG!

IdrA vs KawaiiRice up next!

LOL, thankfully IdrA caught it before Kawaii decided to move-out, so we still have a good game on our hands.

KawaiiRice-brand Top Splits NA(TM), brought to you by LighT-corp. Great mechanical play by Kawaii allows his brave men to move forward on to a sea of creep, take loses, but persevere, continuing on to IdrA's front door and forcing a GG.

sloppy play by idra -_- if he had some ultras he would have broken KR's push... instead he got the chance to get both infestor upgrades simultaenously -_-

I wouldn't even call it being on a tilt to be honest. He just never learned to embrace the idea of micro and how to engage battles being very important components of successful play. He thinks outmacroing his opponent is enough to best everyone, which was true a year and a half ago but nowadays most players have adapted to the different playstyle SCII requires in contrast to BW. If you see players like Stephano and TaeJa, you'll notice that their macro is not even the best in the world, however their engagements, meaning positioning before a battle and microing in the battle is just an art in itself. The better user interface (which means there's less macroing to do) means there's more potential attention left for the actual battles. Other players have caught up on that fact and put FAR more emphasis on engagements, if Idra doesn't begin to care for putting mor emphasis on proper army engagements, he will be left in the dust. I'm not saying that this game was an obvious example for that fact, but rather that that's his underlying problem which keeps him from becoming a better player. Still, his engagements were not THAT bad but he could've gotten more out of his army value.

He just wants to ride on his macro-wave straight to the win. Nope, not gonna happen. Not anymore. Not in 2012.

Edit: I'm not saying that's his only problem, nor do I say his engagements are generally bad. He tilts pretty hard sometimes and his engagements often are pretty good. Still, to me he seems to have the mindset that as far as he's macroing better, he should win, which simply is false.

Game three ends in a doom-drop by KawaiiRice in response to a scary Blood Lord-Infestor army with a lot of lings and Banelings taking-out his fourth. Nearly the entire main of IdrA is taken-out, but Kawaii can't defend at home and IdrA pushes up in to the natural. IdrA takes the game, tying the series up 1-1.

Zoia, if you're reading this, you need to work on your camera movement

Casting is good, but camera is too frisky.

odd people want to be so down about each match idra loses.. guess what? Series was actually really good.. Kawaii and IdrA put on a show in that last game and it was fucking good. No need to psycho analyze each player and over analyze their lives.. we are at a stage where good players can beat each other. Nice job by kawaii!
