But idra can prepare, make a nce bo-win against polt etc. Hopefully, players are gonna analyse eachother and come up with insane to watch strategies customfit to there opponents! #freeforall! How can you make a nice build order win (that will actually win you the game no matter what) against a player who has infinate better unit control and understanding of the game than yourself? Idra won't 6 pool, and Polt will identify overly greedy play right away. And no, this is not ment as an insult to Idra, it's ment as a praise for Polt. Unless Polt decides to chop off three of his fingers on his left hand before the matches, I can't see Idra even take a game off of him. Don't forget, Polt was actually far closer to beating Life than Flash ever was; I really think he is the best or the second best Terran player in the world at the moment. | ||

Yes, I've been following Starcraft since 1999. Yes, you can snipe other players, but as far as I know Idra will be living on his own, at least for some time, which means he has to cook up a stategy all by himself. And as he has said before, that isn't his style at all. What could he do that can throw Polt off guard? Baneling busts? I've still not seen that work on Polt, even when he's playing cross server against the best korean GM players. Roach rush? The same. Rush up to Hive and Ultras? Good luck. Be my guest, he might of course be able to do that, but I'm not under the belief that Christmas lasts until Easter. | ||

I was not focussing on Idra specifically, but more in general (my fault, should have made that more clear). I am hoping players are gonna focus there strats+mapchoices on there opponents. | ||

Not only is he a really skilled player (skill for skill I'd rank him as one of the absolute best foreigners), he has also learned preparing the Kespa-way. I also hope that Demuslim will a) cut down his streaming time and/or b) stop saving VODs. He's such a talented chap, and I would hate him losing to some silly all in (he has been having some troubles against Protoss-players that proxies stuff). And I'm rooting for Kane to go through the qualifiers. Such a nice guy | ||

What are his rescent results against mech and biotank. To what unitcomp+bo does he loose in tournaments and proleague. U can gain alot of info and use that Like, against stephano i would play biomine 100% every game (just because we all know he hates mines).... | ||

It is nice to see things as they happen, like with the EU qualifiers at the moment, makes things more exciting. Especially since it's not like MLG hasn't done community streams before...but o well, we will not get nearly as much coverage as EU did  | ||
