Well the 1st mistake Stephano and RoRo made is they decided to out macro Idra. Idra was able to keep up with them and even pull out tiny advantages. Idra played passive and waited for his opponent to try to attack his 3rd and then defended like crazy. After a successful defense of his 3rd, Idra methodically built up his army and played a counter-attcking style. He'd get up a 4th safely while attacking his opponent's 4th. He was careful, and defended the middle ground while securing and extending his economic lead and tried to suffocate his opponent and force them to attack into him. In short; he straight-up outplayed his opponents. This was not the usual "macro like a boss, then 1a into your opponent" Idra game. I think it's too early to start screaming, "GRACK IS BACK", because we've seen many times before where he'll dominate early rounds of a tournament only to lose in the oddest of ways later, but he's a much more patient player than I've ever seen him. He's got a really tough one coming up against Rain, but if he can win, and that's a big if, he has the potential to make a really nice run in this tourneyment. | ||

Not long after that MC said in an interview that he also was surprised of his skill level. Since then Titan has showed us glimmers of brilliance, all he needs to work on now is his consistency. If he achieves that, I would really think he deserves a GSL seed either Code S or Up and Down. | ||

They should really start giving more U&D seeds, I don't care if it's for foreigners or not, I just hate it how some groups have 5 people while others have 6 -_- | ||

The fenix, illusion group looked kind of boring. I watched Socke vs Parting and socke looked weak so I figured Parting would take the group and between Fenix/Illusion not big deal for me who of them win, although I thought Illusion. With Major I watched Titans games instead and Lucifron was in such an easy group I thought I would be more interesting to watch some closer groups. So ~8 hours of SC2, no terran ^^ | ||

I guess the biggest question is if his other matchups are as good as his ZvZ. | ||

But the production in general is HORRIBLE, audio especially... its proberly the worst production quality i have seen in any turnament (well for at least a couple of years). I can't believe it is this bad, they should have never had the turnament in China. They should do it in Europe and let the DH guys do the production - just like they did with WCS Europe finals, which was one of my absolute favorite events. God im so disapointed, i was looking so much forward to watching this. But then its just pure crap  Man what must people be thinking, if they actually watch this as their first SC2 event? This is really embarassing for Bizzard and SC2 in general :/ | ||
