He doesn't hate Mondragon. Why do people keep making things up.

Thats my favourite part. He lost to a build created by one of his practice partners. lol

what people dont seem to realize is that cheese is usually quite effective, but people often avoid it because of the risks involved. but i get cheesed nearly every game vs foreigners because that risk is worth it, so of course it seems like i lose to cheese more than everyone else. just look at this series, on andro he double nexused, which is an econ cheese, and i beat it, and on desti he went proxy gate into 4 gate into dt, and i beat it. its not that i cant defend cheese, its just that it happens so often that im gonna lose to it once in a while and people remember those times.
Double nexus is a cheese? So you cheesed every single game?
HAHAHA GAY LOLOLOLOL
Anyway. By the way. I would love to see a BackHo Idra grudge match. I would bet a loooot that it ends up 3-0 for BackHo.

He doesn't hate Mondragon. Why do people keep making things up.
At least he doesn't seem to respect him too much. Earlier this TSL he said in an interview that there is only one single talented German player: kolll. This, of course, means that Mondi is not talented -.- Not too fair of a statement. Similar to this whole lying out of teeth thing, but as someone said before, this is probably really a cultural thing, if Mondi spoke disrespectful and cocky like IdrA in his interviews he wouldn't have nearly as many fans over here. "False European Modesty" - whatever. I don't believe IdrA would like him any better if he trashtalked all the time, though, it must be something else.
But as IdrA is actively posting in this thread, maybe he could make clear what really his opinion is about the player Mondragon besides that he's lying, nowhere near his prime and not deserving to win this tournament. So no one has to guess and make shit up.
Anyway, I also kinda liked this Interview - I don't hate IdrA, just don't like some of the disrespect, but I'm sure he's an overall cool person to hang out with. He had the best conditions[(?) might be wrong word, bad english sry] to win this TSL, BUT if you think that no one else deserves to win a tournament but the player/team who is theoretically the "best" on paper, you know not too much about sports and competition. It's about the Winner deserving the win, but also the Loser deserving the loss if he messed up or didn't play with his full potential, couldn't handle the competetive cirumstances, etc.
Yes, yes, when Nony made the zealots instead of blindly making more goons and Idra couldn't hold them, even though he had practiced holding pure goon many times...it was a "build order win." What the hell does that even mean.
I really think it's just Idra's "normal" mentality to think low of everybody else around him. Much like in Korean pro scene every single quarter-finalist says how he will dominate all the others and become a champion.
Of course we know it can't happen. There's only one champion around there. However - take that mentality off these kids - and they're gonna drop. It's "i'm the best' mentality that drives them through those hard-ass 12/7 training sessions "with no real life".
Idra wishes to become a true Korean, as his mentality is Korean already. ))
But, of course, Mondi is more like a "good fella i'd like to be" ))
