what nony did basically is what you do when you don't believe in winning in a normal game. it's perfectly okay and reasonable to do so. his execution was well enough, and alongside the freewin idra granted him, it proved to be enough. i didnt quite like the half-hearted destination proxy, tho. i'm sure there are better cheeses to think of. | ||

As far as I can tell, earning the respect of Craton, smug internet know-it-all, is probably pretty far down on IdrA's list of priorities, and rightfully so. I'd take IdrA over any of you self-righteous vultures any day, acting like assholes while simultaneously deriding IdrA for "bad manners". Amen. | ||

Normal? I feel some people forget this is a RTS game, not a no rush 10 min while I build up. He won with good strategy. I guess it makes people feel better calling it "cheese" because they lose to it, but this is a "strategy" game. Just my .02. | ||

The difference between a real strategy win and cheese is that the latter requires some luck to be successful. Cheese only works if it's not scouted by the opponent. You could argue that game 5 was a strategy win, Nony definitely made it sound like that in his interview, but the rest were definitely cheese. | ||

Of course if he'd gotten to the mid game he'd be at an advantage... Not just because that's his supposed strength, but because he was playing greedy. Nony didn't play risky in any of these games really, except MAYBE Destination, but that seemed like just a smart meta-game choice rather than trying to steal a win. He correctly predicted Idra would not wall. I don't really think NonY was unconfident in his mechanics. He just played against IdrA's weaknesses. NonY's strength is that he prepares really well, not that he's a macro monster. Relying on his micro is fine. I don't care what people think NonY's normal style is. If you listened to the interview you'd know he was planning for mid-game/late game strength in 3 of the maps, and it just didn't make it that far because IdrA messed up in game 2, and was 'unlucky' in game 5 (getting scouted first. Really, the most telling part of this series is that IdrA thought NonY would be too pussy to do anything aggressive, so he wanted to take advantage. It backfired. | ||

Idra would have won if not for that thousand-dollar misclick imo. Too bad it came down to that.  GL next time Idra... I don't feel spoilers are necessary but meh | ||

You took the wrong profession, thx, goodbye, i am laughing my ass off. Ouch. Listen, it's a bit easy right now maybe. Usually I like seing IdrA losing, but this time it just feels bitter. Just think the kid has been spending years of his life being a slave playing this game, and he keeps choking at every big occasion. IdrA is definitly more skilled overall that Kolll or Nony, and he loses 2 Bos in two big occasions. The point is, I believe Idra is so cocky and so unbearable because he lacks hugely self confidence. | ||

More skilled? I dont know how that goes together with losing to those players, seems we got a bit different definitions of skill... | ||

Of course he has more skill than any other foreigner. Sure he spends twice as much time practicing wheras he's not twice as good, and he talks bullshit and I hate him and I like the fact that NonY won etc etc.  But at the moment he's the favorite against any foreigner and I would bet a million that out of 1000 games he would win more than 50% against any other foreigner, and whoever wouldn't do the same is insane. Guess that makes him more skilled. | ||
