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

Haha... remember MLG Dallas 2010? Oh man I was there during that debacle. I thought Sunny was going to explode with rage backstage.

He went mass blue flame hellion into bio tank. Not the best decision. He also went Hellion Marauder 2 base timing in the first game which isn't that effective anymore.

Please keep up with the LR vaftrudner I really want to know how it goes.

No problem, please let me know how I can improve, I'm new to this

Crank vs Taeja game 2

00:00 Entombed Valley, Crank spawning bottom left, Taeja spawning top right

01:45 Teaja builds sneaky barrack by his rocks to confuse Crank, but Crank scouts top left first

03:00 Crank did same build as last game, two gas with two workers on each, Crank gets into Teaja's base but probe dies, Taeja expands after one barrack

04:00 Taeja blocks natural with ebay, it almost finishes, no zealot for Crank

05:00 Three marines take the banana hallway down to apply some pressure and scout

05:45 Crank goes up to five gates, no expansion, marines at Crank's natural may have seen no nexus, not sure, Taeja builds second bunker at ramp

07:00 Taeja's marine in the middle sees sentries coming, Taeja reinforcing ramp with missile turret and depots

07:30 Crank's attack starts, forcefields on bunkers, no repair

08:10 Taeja lost one bunker but pushed Crank back

09:00 Crank still all in, Taeja starts teching up, has four bunkers now

09:30 Crank can't push through, GGs

Crank - Taeja now 1-1

Idd, MLG is a good tournament by American standards, but the production isn't up to par with GSL/DH/ROG. They usually have great players attending though, which kind of makes up for the rest.

have you ever watched a PPV MLG arena? the quality of those is worlds above Dreamhack or any other tourny. MLG is the trend setter for production quality

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.


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.


he also has never let a peson win the laptop that was the prize for 'beating the gracken' in EG's solo league
which i mentioned, which was 'many' tournaments. i just dont know why peopel shit on his past, its like hitting a
guy while he is down


I'm not shitting on his past, like I said he was a top contender, he just didn't "rape" or "dominate" the beta as you seem to suggest. Also I don't know what you're talking about when you say EG solo league; in fact I have never even heard of that solo league (do note I followed SC a lot even then) and it doesn't show up in his TLPD or Liquipedia achievements. Care to provide a link maybe?

Does anyone else get the opinion that we're being oversaturated with MLGs this year?

With so many going on, each one is less exciting. I enjoyed them more when they felt like a big deal.

I'm also not thrilled with the casting at this one. TB, in particular, offers no good insight into the game. If he isn't going to give good insight, he should at least provide the color that he used to. Everything about this seems dull.

Haters gonna hate.


Losing to Vibe WCS, then beating Suppy and unknown B teamer in Open bracket = on fire?


To be fair it did save him being utterly dominated by Scarlett.
