how can you not get it, the spirit of idra possesed the fou member and made him gg when he had the game won - the 3rd picture is clearly a reference to being dead in the water.

I imagine that a player from FoU recently prematurely GG'ed? Otherwise I don't get it.
Pretty nice drawing of IdrA! Spot on.

First Comic is oGsNada btw.

anyone notice that when Idra flies away in the last strip, he has this star-shaped wand? I wonder if it's supposed to be a pentagram and Idra the devil or something.

The 2nd one is definitely Choya. I can't remember his games, but you can tell it's him because of the speech bubbles noting that he's talking to himself.

It's Idra's spirit forcing Choya to "cool" GG.

In game 1 of his super tournament match with TOP, Choya went for a 3gate voidray build and got a lot of damage done. He got over-aggressive trying to continue the pressure and lost too many units but TOP was well behind on workers (12 to 32) and Choya's nexus was 3/4 done at the gold while TOP hadn't been able to get any mining at his nat yet.

Choya GG'd out there and then despite the fact he may have been able to hold any counter aggression TOP tried. TOP had a bigger standing army but his medivacs had no energy and there wasn't really a whole lot of bio out.

Would have done some damage, but given all the extra probes Choya had he could have pulled some and still come out reasonably. It wasn't an Idra-GG, but it was pretty quick.

Haha! I don't understand the first one. It's different games. And then either MC or Nada? But I don't get the overall point. In the first one he is sweating, but in the second, when he plays a fellow animal he isn't. So that can't be a hint to Koreans being harder (sweating), Foreigners being easy (not sweating). Laying in the water chilling, indicating going overseas. Then playing the game and being a baller?

If just the sweat was the other way around!!

For the second one, it's like a perfect choyafou, very well done. OMG, had to use search for this. First I thought, he is seen as a player who has a tendency to employ early game pressure strategies most would denote with the derogatory term that is cheese. He doesn't have a lot of time to practice which is why he feels he needs to do that because his skill lacks, or so he said recently.
But then using search. choya was the guy that did rock paper scissors on ladder right? To make people leave the game, trade wins that way and he got far up the ladder because it sort of makes smart use of the way the bonuspoints and ladderpoints in general work. Maybe thats it? Premature gg, joins the game, hai, bai, bok. Loses and GG's out. Touch of IdrA? IDK, also I think the Korean word in the bubble near IdrA is KO, maybe it's a lead that someone can use.

Edit: nice explanation Asha, that seems to make a lot of sense, especially for those of us who didn't see or can't remember the game
