idra is a dbag with his comments. always whines and thinks zerg is the reason he's not in the finals, not himself. he sticks with 1 strategy and thinks if it doesn't work, then toss and terran are imbalanced. he is the most bland and least creative gamer ever. anything not true about what i said?

july reaction on reading idra's comments [image loading]


You're right, Idra definitely is bad for not making the finals this season.... sigh.

It's pretty funny that people are blowing up over what Idra said, when I consider Jinro to have said the exact same thing.

julys bad = huge underdog
mcs protoss = its PvZ.... PvZ is hard enough as it is..

Looks identical to me.


calling someone a huge underdog means they are bad?
LOL

idra is just jealous of any zerg that performs better than him. fact.

july is a huge underdog cuz of mc's sc2 accomplishments already, and july being pretty new to code s.

idra would also be a huge underdog if he faced MC. does that mean idra is bad? LOL

Where is the professionalism idra? Do you really need to downtalk other players/self promote when everyone already knows you're a good player? Do you have to talk about race everywhere you go? You're no different to CombatEX. It's really sad.

Other than that it I think MC will take it convincingly 4-1/4-2 :D




God, people on the boards ><

Look, Diamond asked him what his opinion on the match was, and that was it. Stuff like this is why pro players don't participate as much any more in the forums, because they're going to get shit on about every game they lost or comment they made. This is just how he feels about the match, if you wanted know what he thought, why bitch when he tells you?


Because he's the only one that speaks his opinions in a ridiculously rude way? It's fine to have opinions and to speak your mind, but not at the offense of someone else. I do think overall Idra is more solid in sc2 so far, but he's no where near as accomplished as July is overall (bw and sc2 combined). Not the right place to trash talk.


If you don't agree, that's fine, but don't shit on idra because he did exactly what someone asked. Say you disagree for X reason and move on, not that hard. If you know his remarks make you mad or whatever, don't read them! There's absolutely no reason to come onto the boards and leave snide remarks about any pro for some opinion they have. Why are they going to keep contributing to a monthly feature like this if this is what they're going to get back?

Idra is so silly. July is bad in the same way Nestea is bad. :D

I enjoyed reading the Korean pros' predictions for MVP vs MKP before the last finals. Needs to happen again!

Bad
MC, Protoss


KawaiiRice
MC - he plays Protoss



KiWiKaKi
MC probably, cause he abuse like no one else


Machine
MC, because hes Protoss


Stalife
MC b/c he's perfect, and also protoss is OP atm


TT1
MC. Cus hes imba, and july sux and mc is an abuser.



I think people should be entitled to their opinions, and I'm not sure why everyone is clamoring for this "professionalism" now-a-days anyways. I'm also not sure who his opinion is supposed to be offending, I mean really...

On-topic: For a second i read this as who will win TSL, and I was thinking: "Why are they all giving up already!", but then I realized it said GSL, and not TSL -.- . Will be really interesting to see the finals, and amazing if there is an awesome July upset. :p

Uhh, that's exactly what I did, state why I disagree for X reason. I'm simply doing the same thing Idra's doing, stating my opinion.

QFT. People really need to stop putting players on such a presidential like pedestal and expect politically correct answers all the time. Comments like the above will only distance the pros from the fans.

But some players do not bother to give out an educated opinion. Some of the opinions by pros is rather disappointing by saying that a certain player is granted the GSL 1st place not because of his skill or anything, he was just playing a superior race and lucky as a result. They have a voice not because of contributing excellent strategies to TL, but because of their performance in tournaments.

Something about saying that being Protoss will win makes me completely skeptical. This is not a Soul Calibur IV Tourny where places 1-4 are Xianghua. Yes, Protoss is probably imbalanced in some way but looking at the results, it is not imbalanced enough to make the tourny completely dominated by a single race unlike Soul Cal where a single character out of about 30 dominate.

EDIT To add more, pro players that talk about a certain race being imbalanced seem to justify other players reasons for complaining. Rather than looking at their flaws in their play, they blame it on the game. God awful example.

I hate whining balance discussions as much as anyone else, and its been spreading all over the forum these days.

The pro players really aren't setting a good tone for the forums when pretty much half of them on this page are saying PvZ imba. Nothing wrong with what these people are saying, its just giving off a poor impression and letting new players think they can complain about balance because pros are doing it as well.

Only similar quote is TT1s. The rest don't straight up diss July, rather they praise MC for being imba. Though both do say protoss is op. That's a similarity. If you're already forgotten, Idra gave Nestea a ton of flak, said he was horrible, and whatnot back when he won season 2. We all know how that turned out.

July's aggressive play really gives him a shot at wining this I believe. This could easily be the quickest bo7 we've seen.

I love IdrA's comment. I think I've figured him out. When he's serious, he uses punctuation and capitalization, and his spelling is passable. When he is being sarcastic/bm he uses no punctuation or capitalization and he mispells things.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count and those who can't.

True. The biggest thing going for July right now is that he doesn't play like any other Zergs. It will be hard for MC to prepare for him.
I have a dream, that some day I wouldn't see any imba comments in GSL threads.

It`s hilarious how TT1 said that July sucks, he`d wipe the floor with the guy. Extravagant comments in regards to the skill he has. If July sucks, so where your skills are rated at?

This is basically what I was saying. You don't call July bad, you call MC really really good. They don't come off the same way even though they basically mean the same thing. July isn't necessarily BAD, he's actually decently good, it's just MC is worlds ahead, that's the difference. Saying July sucks makes it sound like MC is average.
