I don't really understand why nony gets to fight the ladder leader. It has to be bad for one of them - either you think nony gets a free ride and he gets to see all idras replays, or you think that idra gets far more practice; but surely, getting to the number one on the ladder and being third in the last TSL should be rewarded with easy placements in the groups, or at least random ones; why is their reward to get put into a difficult knockout contest?

Nony didn't get 3rd in the last TSL. And as people have said your question has been addressed so I'll let you search for the answer.
It felt like gravity.

IdrA plays daily for 8+ hours training with some of the best players available.
NonY has been inactive for a while now and is, while wholeheartedly practicing for this, out of shape by many miles and not in his best shape. NonY is also not a player who is likely to cheese IdrA a few times in a row.

It's a Best of 5.

So I guess I was hoping that someone would throw out some thoughts on how Nony can win...

I think nony would have a good chance if IdrA hadn't improved so much since he lost to NonY at WCG usa last year. 8-9 months of inactivity isn't as difficult to overcome as people make it out to be.

Generally no. But the fact that he's been inactive for 8-9 months combined with the fact that IdrA has been improving almost exponentially is what I think is going to win the match for IdrA.

You also have to consider the way Nony trained and how much he trained. His lack of skill when inactive is pretty legendary.

Mainly cause Nony is relaying on mechanics pretty much, though

At least that's more entertaining that some super pro practicing 23 hours a day for two years and nerd raging while losing again and again to amateur players who don't play completely perfectly standart (sorry, who "do stupid things".)

Jesus!

I don't know how good Morrow is, but his playing is entertaining. And his reaction is understandable. Just watch the reps about incontrol and make yourself an idea about who is a dick in the whole thing. Now, being n°2 or n°10 on this ladder doesn't change shit so maybe some people should relax a little a bit about his playstyle and stop raging when he wins by cheesing.

Plus, cheese is a great part of that game. Boxer vs Yellow is one of the most famous and funny bo5 in history. Hope Morrow qualifies, and if he doesn't, it doesn't matter. As all this is a fucking game.
The fellow who is out to burn things up is the counterpart of the fool who thinks he can save the world. The world needs neither to be burned up nor to be saved. The world is, we are. Transients, if we buck it; here to stay if we accept it. ~H.Miller

To me it seemed like IdrA was merely pointing out the imbalance of the map.
