Even if half the people tuned in, they would probably get twice the ads from the match being so much longer.

Are there really that many irrational poll voters :/ Idra's decent (really good among foreigners), but he's not on the same level as the likes of Taeja, Jjakji, Mvp, MMA, Gumiho, etc... Taeja not as the same level of MVP and MMA and Gumiho, IdrA beat Bomber. 50/50 was rational. he just played badly. | ||

No need to start eating up the troll, I think it was fair to say idra had a chance. I don't think anyone here quite knew what idra's skill level was at since he went to korea. Clearly after this showmatch however, he hasn't learned to deviate enough from his traditional play. Quite a disappointing showmatch, mostly because of results. Also because I felt like there were some stutters in the stream, and the colour mod was very ugly. Just my 2 cents. | ||

Idra still trying to muta harass Korean terrans do death 1 year later... Yeah, it's not gonna happen. And IdrA doesn't? Ling muta every game unless he is trying to all in roach early... | ||

It undermines the entire tournament that they give out these charity seeds, and it makes foreigners looks bad by simple association to these horrible, one-sided matches. Foreigners that want to compete in the GSL should qualify, just like Koreans. And the same goes for Koreans wanting to play in MLG | ||

If I didn't care about a showmatch, I'd just do stupid shit the entire time. But it seemed that he did care, otherwise he couldn't have used conventional builds. | ||

I think you're alone in that opinion, or at least a very small minority. Taeja might not be as good as Mvp, but that's irrelevant to my point. Idra's not on Taeja's level. Plain as day. Do you watch Taeja stream/play in the GSL? Guess not.. also, lol, Idra beating Bomber once upon a time in a Bo3...how is that relevant? I dont get it. Maybe you're just trollin meh | ||

Different format (ESV weekly maps, which Taeja is familiar with and has been dominating). Different environment (online, where nerves play less of an issue and believe it or not, Idra has better nerves than most progamers). Different lead-up (not "I have no idea who I'm going to play, so I'll play standard and prepare for every matchup"). Idra did very well in MLG invitational and MLG Providence, but objectively this was an entirely different ballgame where Taeja was going to be heavily favored. | ||

When 1 foreign loses to one korean player . Every or other foreign players gets compared to the one who loses? What does naniwa has to do with this? why even mention it? >_< I'm not just pointing this to you. | ||

His build need to evolve or adapt during a boX series. | ||

Just because Idra barely beat a good but wildly inconsistent Korean terran one time doesn't mean he stands a 50 percent chance against Taeja, even at his best. It's just like in the blizzard cup poll where hero was like 2nd or 3rd to win the whole event, whille MMA and DRG were last. | ||
