I think the korean weekly results may be a bit misleading since because of the small prize pool, few of the top tier players compete in them, making the competition not much better than other weekly tournaments. Nevertheless I voted for Taeja because he is fucking awesome.

Very excited to see this. It will be nice seeing how idra plays against terran now that hes been in korea for awhile. As much as I like to Taeja, I hope idra can 4-0 him and gain some momentum for code S.

Taeja is sick good. IdrA is very good too and i think he has a shot, but a far shot...
i think 4-2 to taeja but could see a 4-3 idra win...

well, thats a bit picked "out of the air", and while i cant see him taking down bomber in a bo7 i definetly can see him to do so against taeja, who didnt have impressive results in the GSL since quite a while... (lost to Boxer and Genius in the Up and Downs)

It's not really picked out of the air, the last time IdrA met Bomber he beat him 2-1.

idra 4-1 if he can push it to late game taeja wont win, only thing he has to watch for is his quick marine ups cause that will be good against idra. and for all of those saying idra is bad I laugh at you all day because he is one of the best foreigners and is code s so that is all that needs to be said.

I think Idra's ZvT is better than Taeja's TvZ, but Taeja's style will probably be really good against Idra.

It'll either be 4-2 idra or 4-1 Taeja, I doubt it'll be close either way.

Normally I would say that IdrA would decimate TaeJa since IdrA has beaten much, much better Terrans than TaeJa, but then I remembered that this is ESV, aka where TaeJa is for some bizarre reason invincible. Could go either way.

Idra 4-2 if he can get management games, 4-1 Taeja if he takes a leaf from Boxer's book and cheeses him thrice to begin lolo

And considering Taeja is in Slayers I wouldn't be totally shocked to see him metagame Idra and 4-0 (though Idra has seemed super confident since being in the Slayers house so that could swing both ways).
