Edit: Got it. The exact moment where Day[9] looks up from his screen with his mouth hanging open. Priceless. | ||

GOOD LUCK!! all champions must have it to become champions, is the factor that you cant control over the things you do, you cant give up on something you estimate you will lose just because your estimation is that, then why Idra does competes on MLG?? to not to win?? with that mindset he shouldnt be playing SC2 trying to be the best in the world, cuz its clear he will never become it thinking like that. Yeah this actually... Avid fan but it's starting to hurt ones feelings when it feels like IdrA loses and gives up his games rather than his opponents purely outclassing or outplaying him... as a fan you just get sad after a while and don't want to get your hopes up to high  | ||

I would strongly suggest it was that exact mental strength that shined. It is remarkable to see a player who is able to foresee 5-6 moves ahead and -know- whether (under perfect play from both sides) he will win or lose. As said earlier, if MMA had the OC at the gold base up and running, he'd have another round of reinforcements which would defeat IdrA. In a scenario that MMA plays perfect and IdrA plays perfect as well, after that last battle, IdrA loses. Why wait it out when you know the outcome? As far as the MC games are concerned, again IdrA would lose 3 out of 4 of them eventually (again given no mistakes from MC). However, IdrA could have easily won game 4 if he had teched a bit better, rather than remaining stuck with hydra/roach/corruptor forever. That you can fault him on. Now, one can say that IdrA was tired and didn't make proper decisions as far as his STRATEGY was concerned, and indeed I believe that this was the case. Still, I feel IdrA is not being appreciated for his greatest strength, that is, his ability to read the game flow. It is a feat of extremely high intelligence to be able to know if you've lost 10 minutes before you do, and that should be recognized rather than criticized. The answer to that question is idra has now lost two games in important tournaments, which he would have won, if he had not had this imaginary strength that you are claiming he has. | ||

Idra..... you have the worst GG timing! | ||

Just ctrl+f "baron" on every page, and saw it on page 4. Sorry! I probably skipped it because it was a small comment under the flash picture  Thanks~ Edit: and also, I remember someone saying that it's important after the game has been clearly lost to stay in it for at least a little bit, and just calm yourself down. Not necessarily bad gg timing (i.e. draw it out excessively), but to just cool down, think for a bit, and then type out the gg. In Idra's case, it would have saved him the games, but that's sort of an exception; the point is that he really got mentally screwed over, and just pausing for a bit could have helped a lot! >< | ||

Looking at the VOD Idra only had a small amount of mutas and zerglings, and looks like he would have been dead if MMA had been rallying marines to his base. 4 base (including one gold) vs 1 base (barely) with MMA having mined out his main and almost mined out his nat. Idra knows the third is not up and would know the timings on the main and nat. 71 drones vs 60 SCVs 16 muta and 18 lings vs 7 tanks and 20 rines. All bar a few rines are all at home, Idra is going to kill all the tanks with muta and deny the third with lings. The drop at Idra's nat is nothing, 4 rines, and he has such an eco advantage the natural doesnt matter anyway. Idra has 16 lings and 5 Muta in production. Idra has resources banked, with the next round of inject larvae he's going to have a big army advantage. Idra had the game won, and had enough info to know this. He just made a bad call, which just happens sometimes I guess, particularly under the high pressure of being on that sort of stage. It's a real shame, I'm a huge fan and I think he could have won the whole tournament. | ||

Boy you just got owned. No one can defend this action by IdrA. It's that simple. We can understand, but there is no empiric argument for it. | ||
