Aye, it's really strange. He can be such a **** and then next interview he's just awesome. Hard to cheer for him, but hard to hate him too... Edit: Btw awesome interview, insanely good really. Perfect questions | ||

Everybody agrees that his macro isn't very good compared to other top level players but his best matchup is TvT and he is almost always the favorite in TvT outside of Korea. I liked the interview even though I don't agree with many of Idra's points. He didn't say Goody was a bad player. He just said you can objectively say whether certain aspects of someone's game are bad, which is true. | ||

Speaking of hypocrites, Idra is a fine one claiming that statistics have no place in a rational discussion while he makes an irrational assumption about the ladder stats. The guy comes off as arrogant and makes a fool of himself to anyone smart enough to realize it. | ||

Idras logic on the ladder stats being 50% because of the matchmaking system by is just flat out wrong. this statement is so wrong... ladder stats being 50% just indicates one thing: the matchmaking works. The ladders only goal is to keep players artificially at 50% If i lose very often, my MMR will drop and i will get weaker opponents till i reach 50% again. If i win too much, i will get stronger opponents till i reach 50% again. So ladder staticstics doesnt say anything. If i win 90% of my zvz, 52 % of my ZvT and just 8% of my ZvP im still at 50% win rate. Even if my pvz is 50% it tells you nothing about how balanced it is, because you cant see the MMR. There is a huge possibility that the toss i lost to were on the same MMR as me and the ones i won where on lower mmr | ||

Idra said : " 3 of us had easy groups and at least 2 of us - which means the other two obviously - are worse than ... " To what or who did Idra compare Stephano and XlorD ? | ||

You are right about it being explained a thousand times on TL, but every time it says "The matchmaking systems only goal is to have each player reach a 50% win rate" so idk wtf you're talkin about bro. IdrA is pretty spot on. | ||
