It's just a shame that Idra couldn't last long enough for Alive to show off some of his decision making. He just rolled over and died every time. | ||

Not only did you 6pool, IdrA, you 6-pooled terribly. You disrespected the game you play by giving a hearty "Fuck you!" to the fans and your own results. Christ, develop a little damn mental toughness, will you? | ||

Six pool by all means if you want but if that reasoning actually is honest (which I doubt), it's not intelligent or mature. | ||

If you are so smart lets look at your ideas and have something to compare to. It's not his job to waste time trying to make the game right, nor does he have the game knowledge to balance properly. What should he have said? That he fully agreed with Blizz, and that they were doing a great job, when in truth, they have designed a shitty game? There's a reason most people ''whine'' when asked that question | ||

It's a poor situation where terrans have to sit back and let zerg make drones for 10 minutes and then play from way behind. Top terrans vs Idra it might put even but zergs with better army control should never lose playing this 10mins no rush daftness... Six pool by all means if you want but if that reasoning actually is honest (which I doubt), it's not intelligent or mature. 2 rax isn't cheese, but 11/11 is imo. hellions aretn't cheese, but 2 reactor mass hellion is. His reasoning was pretty acceptable imo. If Alive doesn't want to show good games and entertain, why the hell should he? Besides, as he said, coming back from a 0-2, getting cheesed on the zerg maps, against a player like fucking Alive...? Not a chance | ||

In BETA his mechanics were the only thing which made him one of the best players (and all thanks to his BW background) but now he is slowly fading away. His mental strength is close to nothing and it can be easily seen in Idra's BoX matches against equally skilled or even better players. After losing like one game he totally collapses and starts all-in'ing and throwing games away. If you want to be a winner, you have to have a mindset of a winner. And Idra simply does not have it. I think you're blowing this way out of proportion again... He was down 0-2 because of cheese on the zerg maps, and had only terran maps left to play. Besides, as he said, it was only a showmatch he was asked to play a couple hours before. I guess we'll see later today, at MLG Winter Arena | ||

Not a chance First of all, that 'entertaining games' card is bullshit to me. Some cheeses or all-ins are totally fine in Bo7 series and even makes it more fun for viewers. And when a professional player starts to complain about all-ins due to which he decided not to take showmatch serious makes me want to cry and laugh at same time. If Idra tried to play those last matches like a real man, who knows, maybe these series would have turned out to be quite a showmatch but when he threw it away the whole event seemed like shit. So even if he complained about Alive's cheeses, what he did was way worse. Also, I think (I may be wrong, but who knows!) that actually playing the last two games would have given Idra a better chance two win the series instead of throwing them away... | ||
