oh yeah, and no gg? he has to admit alive handled the 3rd game very well. much better than idra dealt with alive's two rushes. i've seen idra do plenty of cheesy, all-in builds (and not just because he's raging). he really just needs to get over himself and stop making excuses for poor gameplay and decision-making. | ||

The first two games weren't entertaining and the rest weren't very likely to be either. It would have been great because aLive wouldn't ragequit the moment his cheese fails. | ||

But if he loses, he will pull the imba card like he always does. Unfortunately for him. When Terran was crusing Protoss a few months ago, i remember Huk saying the match up was fine. He never tried to justify his losses on something else but his play. Even after MVP went for 2 all ins against him. | ||

If Z took a secret 3rd and you didn't catch it, or punish it, is that cheese? It certainly put Z ahead, and possibly in a position to snowball and fully control the game with higher muta count. If Z tries to 2 base roach/bane aggression, like DRG vs Gumiho, it can kill the T. It can also do some damage, but the T holds, and they are even. Is that wrong? This is also unscoutable by the T until the moment the roaches move out. You can only prepare with subtle clues + understanding of the timing. If you open 2rax or 2reactor hellion, it can put the Terran ahead. It can kill the Z outright too. But if the Z holds, it can also be an even game. This is just typical Idra. EVERYTHING is a coinflip. How you can play this game for 10 years and not understand that, well I guess it's the same reason you are mediocre. | ||

This has been my view on him ever since his loss vs MMA. Since then he really hasn't gotten any better (talking mentality obviously and not mechanics / skill) | ||

Those guys are too awesome because they want to show good matches WHILE winning, but for BoxeR who just wants to show good matches. Everybody knows IdrA is a whiner from the beginning, and since he couldn't simply ragequit, he decided to throw the games. Yes, we know. Since aLive didn't seem to be interested in showing nice games IdrA knew he didn't have a chance so he flipped coins with the 6pools. That's not necessarily respectable in any way, but it doesn't deserve this kind of hate. | ||

I do agree with him in that Mech in TvZ is not being used that much. | ||
