lol at all the Idra fans trying to damage control for him. He'll be able to do that just fine without you all.


Nony hit him with a great strategy and denied him the mid to late game that his is strong point, and forced him to play out of his element. Idra is a player who depends more on his routines than being strong at adapting, and it hurt him.

I would say poor in a standard metagame sense, but ripe with irony.

Nothing he shouldn't have prepared for while using this build.
It was risky play from nony and he got very lucky imo Scouting idras base off the bat.

he obviously wasn't as confident as tried to imply, you don't do risky and greedy builds if you genuinely believe you're a better player

calling marine/bunker expo on a 4-player map a "risky and greedy build" is just silly, IdrA's build was safe against most rushes—just not NonY's proxy 3-gate (!!)

I say Nony 3-2 , if he can get Idra out of his comfort zone.

My next prediction for the record is JF vs Mondy TSL Finals.

pioneer, your prediction was that Nony could win in shorter, micro-oriented games but that Idra would win longer, macro-fests?

you're like a fucking god of BW analysis.

What? Nony did that strategy because he scouted, if his scout went to other way, he would have went standard.

Cheesing isn't looked down upon when the favorite player wins! What an elegant strategy you had there!

I'm not defending Idra, though I am a bit disappointed he lost, it's nice to see Nony back in action and it definitely makes me wonder how he'd be doing if he stuck around in Korea. Just thought it funny how different people's viewpoints are based entirely on Idra being known for BM.

I think the problem is that IdrA lacks confidence. Next time he should predict a 5-0 win.

Nony said it himself that he wanted to play a standard straight up game for game 5 but when he saw Idra's greedy build he realized there's no way there's anything he can do to stop early goon pressure, and he's had lots of success against that build in practice.

Idra played a bad build and got shit on for it.

Being cocky and being confident are radically different things. I would ever say that people who are cocky are usually unconfident.

I think Idra's problem is his lack of confidence, despite all his effort to look very sure of himself. Confident people don't need to trash other people in public. They know that they are very good and that's enough for them.
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
