Bad is below expectation. Expectations are high.

GosI[Terran] - bad under pressure / couldn't adjust on the spot
Ra - gets pushed to a tense 5th game when Kabal is making unforced errors
Kabal - bad under pressure
Xiaozi - mechanics not even close
Tarson - bad under pressure
Brat_OK - to quote Artosis, no flair
kolll - bad under pressure / couldn't adjust on the spot
Ret - agreeing with Artosis here, Ret didn't play his best. Dunno why (moving back home?), but below expectation
Sen - good enough mechanics but outdated style. Dreiven/Infernal/Mondragon's PvZ would've ended Sen in the Ro16
Draco - just not good enough. Taking into account his recent retirement statement, I think he just couldn't dig up enough motivation to do his best in this TSL.

JF, me, IdrA, Mondragon and Fenix all came out and did what was expected of us or better. Good performances. Everyone else - bad performances. Bad performance means bad skill means they're bad. Throw a 'fucking' in there for good measure. Ezpz summary.

The Ro16 was like a race where people enter with best times of 60 seconds or faster and 3/4 of them finish in 65+ seconds. I'm gonna call them bad. I don't want to antagonize them, so I won't say it to their faces or in an interview I know they'll read. But while making small talk in a practice game, sure I will.

I'm quite happy with Idra vs Nony. I will be happy anyway as one of them has to lose.

I hope you deliver, Nony. I don't think it will even be close, but after a post like that, better not getting spanked.

Fact is, you call everybody bad, but you didn't quite succeed in Korea, and most progamer there could be saying that you blow. Or that Idra who has spend years of his life playing this game and not doing anyhting else at all hasn't achieve anything at all except beating people who practice 6 times less than him. Oh well... You both are very good at trash talking.

...Don't make a fucking stupid smiley face after something you're directing as an insult. NonY didn't succeed in Korea because he figured out that being a pro-gamer is just fucking retarded. He obviously has many things going for him, why would he stay there? He can say they're bad all he wants, that's an opinion I assume that is what we are here to share on this forum?

Mondragon plays PvZ?

Or was there a different 3rd person that you meant to say?

Don't worry Idra, the white man's always been trying to silence the brothers. You do a credit to BHM, where we honor your predecessors. People who refused "to be a model for the Growing American Boy, that his public relation be immaculate", like Muhammad Ali.

Muhammad Ali is a folk hero, one of the first truly black men to challenge America in black terms. He was not the humble Negro champion like Joe Louis, the good champion who knew his place, “a credit to his race,” whom whites could tolerate. He is neither humble nor socially amoral. He is a complex, brilliant young man, who rewrote the scenario on his terms.

And, of course, white America reacted. After he became champion in 1964, the World’s Boxing Association, largely an honorary agency with little power, stripped him of his title because of his adoption of the Black Muslim faith. And when he refused to be drafted into the Army in 1967, opposing the war in Vietnam, every state boxing commission took away his title and his right to box because his act was “detrimental to boxing.”

Ring magazine, more definitive in its “professional” judgments than any boxing commission, refused to award Ali its 1970 Fighter of the Year award (giving it to Frazier) because they felt that “. . . the winner should be a model for the Growing American Boy, that his public relation be immaculate. . . . Cassius Clay would have been the ideal example of a professional fighter if he had not refused to sing out ‘God Bless America’.”

Joe Frazier viciously pounded a no longer fleetfooted boxer in thirteen of fifteen rounds, and most of the ringside celebrities applauded the “comeuppance.” “He deserved it,” said one international film star. There were few sympathizers near the ring. Ringsiders seemed satisfied.

Idra, you are a complex, brilliant young man, neither humble nor socially amoral. Know that if you win, the Man will snub you for not being an immaculate winner. If you lose, they will applaud your comeuppance. But those of us who can see past the color of your skin and applaud you for embracing your culture will always remember you as a champion.
