Doesn't mean his decision making is any good. You're right, his mechanics are solid, but he is very far from a solid player. I'd say decision making > mechanics.

You can only criticize idra's decision making when he decides to leave the games when hes winning apart from that his decision making is pretty damn good.

Do better than that? He was the best foreigner at MLG and no one was surprised that the Koreans dominated everyone. Anyone who understands the game and watches his stream will see the finesse behind his play.

I'd consider him kind of a Korean player.. He did live there for a long time. What I mean is, I definitely think he could have taken those games off MC if he played to the best of his ability and I would have liked to see him go higher. He definitely had the potential to.
Anyway, enough about IdrA its a bit too off topic atm.
Gratz ROOT, I'll miss your tag.

For those of you who don't understand, I believe this is TT1 for:
"This is a thread about the forward movement of one ROOT gaming team in their merger with Complexity gaming in a hope that the joined team will enjoy success and growth from the combined support. While it is certainly interesting that sLush and KiWi have not accepted an invitations to coL and it is fun to speculate where they may end up, idrA has got nothing to with either the ROOT/coL merger nor KiWi/sLush's declining of the invitation. Y U MENTION HIM SO MUCH?!"

Root gaming players are awesome. They may not be the best out there but the fact they are dedicated and are constantly striving to perform better is the sign of true professionals. I hope with the new team, they will get the added motivation to reach their maximum potential.
Great move by complexity and all the best to all the players involved!

Its a shame Root is gone, and ive never really followed coL like i did Root, but im going to be interested now, I hope they this merger is for the best and we get to see lots more of Root guys playing in big tournies.
Shame that Slush and Kiwi are gone as they are two extremely strong players, but i wish them the best whatever they decide to do.

This. Seriously, stop derailing this thread with that shit.
Having read the message on root-gaming, it's a shame that this had to happen, but I hope the coL and former ROOT guys have a lot of success.

If you play poker seriously, it's veryyyyy stressful. Especially when your income depends on it.
