why is this a single elimination bracket? top4 or maybe even 6 of the whole tournament are all playing each other in first round..

Top 4 of the tournament are perfectly spread out, Parting, Hero, Rain and Creator.

On the other hand, if Idra manages to do something, I'd be very happy for him, but I'm afraid he may think he's done his job already (which is kinda true - he achieved far more than people were predicting).

I think $100,000 is a bigger motivator than peoples opinions for IdrA

Wait... ain't you going on and on about how Stephano would take the whole thing without drop a single map yesterday?
That's an impressive jump

Anyway, sloppy games doesn't usually equal for bad games at this level, they can be and very often will be a lot more interesting to view than going into standard late game macro PvZ:s with light harasses during the game

Usually when people play "bad"/"sloppy"/etc they're kind of forced to it, not because they're bad at macro/micro/whatever going on currently

Well those matches are sure exiting...
I have high hopes for Vortix/Lucifron/Titan (even though they are on same bracket )
I'm actually starting to believe that a foreigner can make it !

Oh sure, the point is about his spirit. He may be complacent today already. Let's hope he's still hungry and focused.

The Idra hype train gets big fast!!

It's good for the tournament (heaps more people will watch for him) but we need to wait for him to win a non ZvZ imo, he still played well tho.
