This match is pointless IMO for idra

The only way he makes top 2 is if Sen loses to Socke (not likely) or PainUser beats Zenio (EXTREMELY unlikely).

Not that that means much but i expect Idra to 2-0 Boxer. In worst case scenario Boxer wins 2-1, no way he can 2-0 and no way Idra wins 2-1.


I doubt BoxeR will win 2-0, but IdrA could easily win 2-1. Both of the first two maps are definitely possible for IdrA to win, but in no way is Xel'Naga somehow un-winnable for a Z in TvZ. Xel'Naga is a pretty balanced map, but a lot of the games on the map are really old, like GSL Open Season old (aka nobody understood the game that well and every Terran all-ined, and on a 2 player map all-ins are very effective). If you look at more recent games the statistics become more and more even. Actually, since May 1st, Xel'Naga TvZ has been slightly in favor of Zergs.

(Z)IdrA 2-1 is actually my prediction, and I hope that the game goes to Xel'Naga as some of the best games I've ever seen have happened there (I don't know who remembers TLO vs Hyperdub way back in the GSL Opens, but that was a crazy long game with one of the greatest comebacks I've ever witnessed).

2-1 Idra.
Idra will win games 1 and 3. His most comfortable matchup is ZvT.
Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

i'm sure MMA informed BoxeR after he got back to the SlayerS house from MLG that all you need to do to beat idra is kill your own CC.

so with that knowledge, i don't see how BoxeR can lose

I haven't seen a whole lot of Boxer's play in sc2, but I'm rooting for him! From what I have seen though, he isn't as good as he was in Brood War. If I had to guess, I'd say 2-1 IdrA wins.

Rofl! Yes, as soon as Boxer kills his own CC, you can expect Idra to GG.

The first match.

TLO V Artosis

The last match


Hyped up for this.

Being a boxer fan, gonna say 2-1 for Boxer, and possibly some remarks from him at the start =)

Wouldn't Boxer by in contention for overall #1 seed if he beats Idra? That alone is reason enough not to try. Thanks to the silliness that is the NASL bracketing system, no one in their right mind wants the #1 seed.

BoxeR doesn't stand a chance if the games go past the 10 minute mark...his best chance is to do a FE into some sort of all in, because if he tries to play a macro game with the best ZvT outside of Korea, he's going to be a sad, sad, Panda

You underestimate BoxeR. Nobody gave him a chance against Sen in TSL, but he beat Sen, and he did it again here in NASL. So he beat someone who gives IdrA serious competition for the title of best non-Korean Zerg, and he did it twice. With lag.


No, I don't underestimate boxer. Watch the games versus Zenio, then imagine that, but with better control/decision making from the zerg...that's what the matches are going to be if they don't end early. BoxeR's great, but he just doesn't have the mechanics to stand up to IdrA in a long game. Sure, he beat sEN, but sEN's forte lies in a totally different area then IdrA's (attack sense, unit control, he's also very aggressive, compared to IdrA's much more passive style with impeccable macro/decision making).


Zenio is better than IdrA


Zenio's ZvZ is better than IdrA's. Zenio's ZvT and ZvP are not nearly at the level that IdrA is at. IdrA's TvZ is one of the best in the world and BoxeR will have a very hard time dealing with it. However, while IdrA's standard play is really good, you never know exactly what BoxeR will do. Hopefully these games will be better than Zenio vs BoxeR, and frankly I hope that BoxeR wins ^^

That's almost as many hours as I watch starcraft LOL.

GO BOXER GO!!!.. If he's been training that much, it probably means he's really focused on expanding his empire by conquering NA.

Boxer will shock everyone by playing the match as protoss, will hallucinate a bunch of void rays and then proceed to destroy his own nexus, forcing the inevitable gg from Idra.

But on a serious note, I think Boxer 2-1.
They're fools. You should eat them.
