The poll is fucking epic. I think Taeja is gonna take it, but for me it's too close to call.
VERY FRAGILE, LIKE A BABY PANDA EGG

...? Idra has beaten and competed evenly with better Terrans. To say he doesn't have a decent chance is just ridiculous.

Massive overestimation of foreigner player skill once again, don't get me wrong IdrA has a chance, but Taeja is definitely the favourite here. He's had pretty tough draws in GSL so the results he's had there are somewhat misleading (plus nerves maybe, he didn't play as well as I have seen him play outside GSL). IdrA will need to play his absolute best to win this. Taeja is without doubt a code S level T and I'd expect to see him back in code S sometime in the next 6 months.

The only korean terran hes won against recently has been puma, and puma has whipped idra in their last 5 matches.
He has a chance certainly, a better one than almost any other foreigner, but to call it a decent chance is just ridiculous. Hes going to have to have a lot of things going his way, and taeja is gonna need to have a really really bad day.
Look at the caliber of opponents taeja faces, and look at the caliber of opponents idra faces. They are in different leagues of skill.

The poll is so close! I don't wanna vote cos I don't know who will win, but I wanna vote IdrA to narrow the difference. Probably one of the closest match prediction polls ever! (well it's close to being the closest, since you don't get closer than 50/50, also shut up I'm tired my brain doesn't function)

Judging from the votes I guess many people don't know about how beastly Taeja is...

Or they could just have a different evaluation of IdrA's skills than you.

No wait, that just makes them delusional...

Well, whatever, I personally can't wait. Hopefully it'll be an awesome series. Thanks to Twitch and ESV for putting it on.

Taeja has this quite easily in my opinion, Idra will probably take 1 maybe 2 games tops.

hey way to insult a lot of people... Idra has always had good ZvT beating people like Bomber not to long ago, and he has been in korea for a while now.. i dont see why idra shouldnt be able to win this.

He also beat Bomber. I'm not an Idra fan and I believe Taeja to be favored but Idra definitely has a chance to win this.

wow, I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT. People are saying he has a better chance to compete with a korean b/c he has been playing against them for a couple of weeks now, and we all now that when idra trains with the best he can become one of the best...(or should we just dismiss his round of 8 code s placement?)

I'm an Idra fan, but I watched Taeja's stream and.. he was incredible impressive. He really deserves a Code S spot imo.

I still hope Idra can win this

Well Taeja probably is the best player outside of code S atm and I expect him to crush idra like a bug. Would be more interesting if they played for Idra´s code S spot tbh...
