Crank vs Taeja now playing on premium 1

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


thx

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)



http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Razer_King_of_the_Beta

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.



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


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?


i linked the tournament to show he won it, which somebody said he didn't

the rest of what im talking spans more than one tournament, you know like the whole 'before release', like i stated

doesn't matter, haters will hate, we even agree with you and say he isn't great, we just hate being fans and having people like you shit on his past accomplishments

He Never Let A Single Person Win The Laptop In The EG Solo League :/ (many many tournaments bro)
I am become death, for I am the destroyer of worlds.....You will be missed KT Violet!!!

I'm loving Idra's revised style. No longer trying to be "Stephano-esque" and messing with infestors for mid-game defense, he's back to his old-school Muta+bling to harass and hold off drops. Incorporating his newfound experience with using a more traditional infestor broodlord army for late game, and I think Idra has found something that works really well for him. I also like how he's going mass drones (90+) against Terrans, and just trades armies constantly. He's said in a few interviews that he likes keeping his drone count high in late game if he can hold the bases, and just throw armies constantly at his opponents.

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.

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.


They weren't considered the very best though. If you said Maka I'd agree, but you didn't. Tester was the other guy that people made arguments for being the best, and Idra got the better of whitera overall, he wasn't considered better. King of the Beta was just one tournament, but it was the biggest and best tournament at the time. Winning that was easily enough to make an argument for best in the world, and it did.

I'm not even saying he was for sure the best. I'm just saying there was a time when people thought he was, pretty unanimously. Especially at a time when zerg was terribly under-powered (early after release).
It's spelled LOSE not LOOSE.

If anyone wants to realize why this MLG seems lackluster, just look at the International TLPD. They're missing like 90% of the top 40.

MLG idra edition, watching idra play random americans for 2 days now...
When is an actual MLG starting? the one i watched every other time and actually saw top players from day 1


Championship Sunday AFAIK. MLG has allways been the least interesting tournament to follow during the early stages, double elimination to blame for a lot of it TBH. I'd rather see a round-robin BO5's with no need for 2x elim

I would argue DreamHack has a worse Day 1.

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.


I totally disagree, at one point MLG was the shittiest tournament to ever be organized on the face of the planet and crappy production was the main cause for it

Was indicates the past, I am talking about the present. DreamHack Summer did not even have Player-cams until they moved to the DreamArena.
