Can somebody tell me when stephano is gonna play I can't figure it out

Soon. Due to the re-seeding process, he has to wait to see if his opponent will be Eifer (if Icecream wins this OWR6 match) or Heart (if Idra wins).

I bought Premium so I can follow Taeja. Anyone want some LR? It would be my first time doing it but I'm happy to try

Cloud Kingdom

00:00 Taeja spawning bottom left, Crank top right

03:00 Taeja standard barrack wall off, Crank opening two gas, two workers in each

06:00 Taeja loading up a hellion drop with marines going to Crank's natural, both players have expanded

07:00 Marines pressuring the natural while zealot kills SCV building Taeja's natural CC, marines and hellions pull back

08:00 Crank's one zealot forced the natural CC of Taeja to cancel, Crank follows up with heavy stalker pressure

09:00 Stalkers at Taeja's ramp almost forcing their way in

09:50 Teaja can't respond to the stalkers, GGs

Yeah, but dreamhack makes up for it with free 720p and great production

MLG's production is superior to DreamHack's, with the exception of the last few hours of the tournament.

You know the problem right now? If this was any other NA zerg other than Idra or Sheth we'd probably call this another example of a patchzerg win.

We're haters/flamers/trolls because we make a compelling case for why you're not 100% correct in what you're saying. Take care bro.

multiple people have agreed, and you dont make any case for why he wasn't
you brought up people who didn't even play in a time that we were talking about
or brought up people he dismantled over and over

take care

Idra hasn't ever been the best player in the world, maybe top foreigner but not player in the world.

Untrue. Back in Beta Artosis recently stated the Koreans called him something which was a long the lines of 'The Best' and then when Fruit won the first GSL they called Fruit that.

Are you sure they weren't calling him TheBestFou?

Artosis says a lot of stuff. Remember when Major was going to be the next terran bonjwa?

Weird because Greg backed him up on it and said it was a pity no one globally knew about it.

wait greg agreed that he was the best in the world? that proves everything, im a faster swimmer than Phelps

go watch king of the beta

idra was arguably the best before release, im not a fanboy, and think he has fell quite far. BUT he was king at one point, everybody was scared of him

nobody ever won an MIT laptop from EG's tournament to this day ( is now a teamleague, it was a solo league before that and greg was the end boss, never lost)

would be nice to see that idra again, but i think its long past, glad for his performances today though

TesteR says hi. Also Genius, TOP, RainbOw, FruitDealer. Hell even White-Ra beat IdrA convincingly back then.

I think IdrA can 2-0 IceCream if it goes to late game though. He's definitely not looking very strong in TvZ (IceCream that is)

He beat Tester in the finals of King of the beta (and Tester was considered to be the best korean at the time). The others you mentioned except fruitdealer made their names after release. Whether you are an Idra hater or not, it is a fact that Idra was considered by many, including Koreans, to be the best player in the world from the beta until a few months after release. There's actually nothing to argue about because it's true.

woot somebody else who actually remembers

I do remember. That was one tournament. There are others where he lost to TesteR and White-Ra quite convincingly. And I disagree with the fact that they made their names after release. You clearly didn't watch enough starcraft 2 mister hitpoint, TOP, TheStC, Cella, Genius, TheWinD were some of the best players in the world at that time.

oh god not bitter again

idra was never the best player in the world, antiga is not a horrible map for zerg, illusion had tanks on the high ground and the tank count was 5-6, which is quite high considering the opening he did.....

His casting is not that bad but his bias opinions overshadow any good casting done!
Dont realy like him especialy in combo with some casters

sup?

Bravo, one online tournament that idra barely won at a time when most of the koreans didn't even start to play sc2

read the rest of my post? i said before release, when yes, most of those players didn't play, but the ones he did he was convincingly better than
i posted it because you said he lost that tournament, which he didn't

yes, most of those players didn't play
again, nobody said he was god
we said he raped back before release
which he did, im done talk to the haters/flamers/trolls

GL idra in the rest of tourney

We're haters/flamers/trolls because we make a compelling case for why you're not 100% correct in what you're saying. Take care bro.

He lost to White-Ra 3-2.

He beat TesteR 3-2, but he also lost to him 2-0 and 3-0. How is that dismantling? What world do you live in?
