The Chinese protoss players look like they're even more strategically advanced than the Koreans. I love that blink stalker play>3rd base>then tech to AoE.

You should probably spoiler the interveiews sence they are in affect spoilers.

Thanks a lot for the thread thought anyway.

this is now MC's set of matches to win pvp god cometh

Edit: Not to make excuse's but everyone saw that Idra was on tilt after the first game and still won one somehow. nothing to really smack about I don't think.

Thanks for the interview translations. I'm honestly surprised Chinese players were able to catch up so relatively quickly. Hopefully some of them will consider attending foreign LAN's so we can see how well they really stack up.

Ehh they are taking over the world
No reason not to be cocky.

They've so far done no such a thing and it doesn't look like they'll be participating in korean/western tournaments any time soon. Congrats beating a bunch of players with the latency advantage I guess.


What latency advantage? Read interviews or look in the StarsWars thread where Diamond states a million times that servers being played on depends on who is playing?

How can you go from

"Thank you, every game was strenuous. The thought I had in my heart was to take every game seriously."

To

"My practice partner is 2x better than him"

If his zerg partner was 2x better than idra, and idra almost beat Xaiot, why isn't this chinese zerg showing us all how to play and not making the top 4 protoss players?

Seems like he super contradicted himself there...

Er. Maybe I'm misreading your comment here, but IdrA got solidly 2-0'd by XiaOt, who displayed a magnificent defense against IdrA's all-in in the first game and a very strong macro-style in the second game.

Not to mention, with PvP being so micro-based and with XiaOt being a former WC3 progamer (which pretty much guarantees good micro), I don't think XiaOt should be counted out quite so early. But we'll see. MC is a beast, and XiaOt has yet to really prove himself.

But okay, enough about that: These interviews ... they reek of Chinese superiority. Lol. Oh, China. Never change, please. I'm loving this trash talk.

Given the starting 32, I did not expect MC and three Chinese players to make up the semis.

I consider at least Dimaga's and Idra's losses in the Ro8 upsets.

I think that XiaoT dood should just stfu because he can talk shit when hes online and the only reason he beat idra was because he was abusing protosses advantages. XiaoT is a pathetic Scrub, cant wait to see him get raped him the asshole by MC. I ll watch him cry like a little piece of crap.

Probably because he was playing with latency (China->NA) and his Zerg partner wasn't invited.

Haven't seen the games, probably wasn't as close as the translation makes it out to be if Idra lost 200 supply to 130 -__-

Zerg always hit 200 when a protoss is around 140-150, roach supply is meaningless especially when sentries are in play.

I really want to know who this legendary XiGua dude is. Seriously. I saw some of his games in the GSL WC qualifiers, and he seemed ... all right. Not godawful, not bad, but ehhhhh, decent. But apparently he's super-special-awesome-godly. His name's amazing enough as is (on par with NesTea and FruitDealer in terms of "lol that's random"*), so now I'm curious as all get-out about him.

*For those of you who don't know Chinese, xi gua translates to "watermelon". What a great handle. I approve.

EDIT: And one more time ... XiaOt beat IdrA on both the NA and CHN server. The first game was played on the CHN server, the second on the NA server. They both had to deal with lag, and XiaOt came out on top both times. That's just how it went down, all right?

has anyone considered the possibility that idra's been busy lately and probably doesn't even care about this tournament?

imho he played like complete garbage. i wonder if the lag and the lesser prestige of this tournament in his eyes played a factor.

This tournament has about the same prize pool as MLG Dallas (considering it has fewer players.) I think he cares...
