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.
lolwut? how does a terran double nexus?

obv he means double nex is similar to 1rax fast expand lol

Thx for the interview
gotta feel sorry for Idra, must be so goddamn frustrating for him, especially with the cc cancel and all.

I wonder though if he actually watched the mondragon TSL games, who played such amazing ZvT there, I'm pretty sure he's just biased because he beat mondragon pretty badly in the ESL games a short while ago, but in those games mondragon did some early/mid game mistakes so it didnt even get to the late game.

Loved the interview really interesting and straight up.
So now I just hope (T)Rush and/or (T)BByong go on a losing streak to give IdrA a chance to get a number of KDL games under his belt

The JF and Mondi statement confuses me..

for sure no one believes mondi when he tells everyone in his interviews that hes the underdog. He almost always does this. Its just another strategy. Maybe it makes mondi more relaxed cause he knows losing now lets it look at least as if he expected it and so on..

Its the exact opposite of what Idra and Nony do. Predicting to win there next matches in dominant fashion. Even looking ahead opponents and stating '' Im gonna be bold and say I' ll win this whole thing''

I mean calling mondi a liar and stuff is pretty dumb.. It's just HIS way of doing what Idra and Nony are doing .. just exactly the other way around


+ Mondi winning this would be awesome for him.. being in this game for so long and finishing it that way kinda..

I mean actually I dont mind how it all went so far at all. We are having a amazing final now no matter what. It doesnt matter who wins in the semis.. gonna be pretty cool anyways

And this is probably a bit strange now but even though I dont like idra as a person and his behaviour.. I simply have to agree.. Idra vs Sen or especially Mondi in the final would have been so boring for the viewers .. No way idra wouldnt have killed them.. But with PvZ 100 % coming up and hopefully Nony vs any of the two zerg monsters.. all is fine =)


@ Idra:

In the series of jf vs gosi terran .. what in this series would make your claim that nony is stork and jf is backho justified ?

I mean JF just was better in that series and won pretty clearly, didnt he ?

I would probably compare the situation of this ro 4 to a korean tournament, where flash and bisu just got eliminated but the 4 left players are bisu, stork, fantasy and calm all playing at their best. Seriously this is one of the best ro4s a foreign tournament ever had.

Idra cries when someone plays abusive strategies then he plays abusive strategies himself; he get outsmarted and then he cries because he should have played standart.

Hahaha.

Great interview. People have got to learn that just because an individual isn't filled with faux- (or real) humility, that doesn't make them BM.

Idra was confident before the match, sure... should he not be? People are mad because his pre-match bravura was slightly-exaggerated tongue-in-cheekly, I suppose?

It is totally clear that he respects the ability of the guy who just beat him... he says it explicitly multiple times in this interview.

Is there any foreigner IdrA respects more than Nony? I thought the interview was pretty good, i dont feel like he always has to BM to be entertaining.
What you need to do is be thankful for the life you got, you know what im sayin? ... stop lookin at what you ain't got ... start bein thankful for what you do got.

Good interview. Sorry to see yo exit Idra, best of luck going forward.

I personally LOVE that Mondi is doing this well even though he is "past his prime" mechanically or otherwise. As an amateur player this is great to see: more creativity + decent execution can still give someone an edge. That proxy hatch on Destination, the timing he does on guardians + swarm attacks, he had really nicely thought out builds each round. I can't wait to see what he's going to come up with next.
