I think idra prediction is pretty good, 3-0 or 3-1 , iknow Nony will put up a good fight but i dont think hes still in the same shape as he was in eSTRO.

That was a long time ago, why are you clinging onto that loss? Sad.

Is just wrong.


That's not wrong at all. If you don't have confidence in your abilities and you think there's a good chance you'll lose; it becomes a self fullfilling prophecy. Now, I'm not suggesting that the opposite is true that saying you'll win means you'll win. But you have to believe in yourself. Idra just doesn't sugar coat his beliefs by saying "I think it'll be a good game." and instead goes with the "I'm going to smash this fucking noob."


Of course it's wrong. Mondragon, who IdrA obviously refers to as emo and/or falsely modest, has been saying he "probably loses" against almost every other good player for I don't know 10 years? Strangely enough he did have a chance in most games, though.

Of course such statements don't mean he's sure he'll lose, and sometimes his modesty is unrealistic and annoying. But what it really means is that he thinks his opponent is at least capable of beating him -- a fact which IdrA obviously likes to deny.

mondragon obviously doesnt actually think hes going to lose. hence *falsely* modest.
as for the emo ones like infernal and ret i think it is actually a real problem and they would have much more success if they were more confident.

IdrA is nothing like that in real life.

He is quite the super nerd and frank.

Its PvT...Nony still has a decent chance. Im sure if Idra was a zerg instead of terran playing v nony anthing less than idra saying he wold shit down nonys throat would seem modest

As for the "emo" players that might be true, and like I said Mondragon's assessments can be annoyingly unrealistic -- exactly like you pretending to 3-0 everybody right and left as if they were super noobs. That's basically the Mondragon modesty inverted (it just doesn't seem clear to me whether it's *false*, too).

Nobody denies you're the favorite to win the TSL, but denying that players like NonY or more or less anyone else left in the tournament are at least to some extent capable of beating you (unlikely, but more likely than you make it seem), is just as unrealistic as this false modesty you're talking about.

Met him in at BlizzCon08.

Sometimes I wonder if he is Jeckyll&Hide, cos the guy I met it was sincere and nice to talk to

I dont know if its the game or whatever that transforms him into that BM attitude


Will there is a difference between saying shit on a forum and in real life. A lot of people who bm is when they lose to cheesy stuff (I won't lie I do it) or just hate losing so much they get frustrated. Most players I think bm at least a little bit from frustration its kind of hard not too so I can understand Idra bm'ing after losing because I do know the feeling of thinking your better then that player and you shouldn't lose and all that fun stuff.

So I still bet if you talk to him in person he's different then when he's playing sc and losing
When I think of something else, something will go here

Been rooting for IdrA to win this so far but after this interview I just want to see the reaction and him quitting the game without gging after some quality bm action.

Just think about what would follow after Nony 3-0 IdrA, god damn the whole south korea would be in danger.

idra honestly makes everyone want to root for his opponent. I wonder if he actually understands that he tends to come off like a jerkoff. I mean the things he says are legitimate, and confidence is key in any competition, however, that is a mental aspect of the game that should stay in your head. Be modest, perform honestly, and be proud but never fully satisfied with your accomplishments. Don't be a douche bag.

Neither is Idra.

Imo, Idra just needs to blow some steam off and get laid. Artosis, could you set him up with a Korean tranny or something and make a movie of it? Something like him getting a blowjob while he is going proxy fact? That would be awesome.
