It isn't kissing up to agree with a correct statement. He agreed the game on Andro was a build order win for IdrA too. seems like confirmation bias to me

It isn't? Even if the "correct statement" is flattering and it is unnecessary to repeat it?

Also, people don't usually use the phrase build-order win for decisions made in response to scouted information (like adding those proxy gates). Also, it wasn't any one statement that gave me that feel; it was the preponderance of them. I could go through and count them up, but it's not worth it. If you felt that Artosis was only making correct and unbiased statements throughout the interview, you're welcome to think that. Maybe you're even right.

Artosis was kissing up to Idra too much for my taste ("Oh, for sure, you outmicroed him." "Yes, that was practically a build order win for Nony" etc. etc.), although it is understandable, considering that Idra was granting him an interview after a loss, which was gracious of Idra.

Despite that, good interview over all. Thanks to both of you.

people have to stop saying shit like this. if someone micros well i point it out. if someone micros poorly or makes a bad decision i point it out.
thx.

I had no favorite while watching the game. After this video I kinda wish Idra won. It's almost as if hes holding the tears back.

So much time invested.

Great interview, thanks Artosis and Idra.

Really sad to see Idra out of TSL, was hoping to see him play Mondragon

Idra really seems to have grown a fair amount in the last year or so. I could deal with a little bit more respect for JF while trash talking him, but otherwise I feel that was a pretty appropriate interview.

I'm also not really sure where this "who's the better player" business has come from. If Starleagues were always won by the best player in them they'd be kinda boring, Jaedong would have a Diamond or something mouse by now, ForGG and Calm and several others wouldn't have titles, etc.

I wonder if he's being more mannered because he's in person...

First time I've ever seen Artosis swear. I like it.
You should do it more often :D

I dono what it was about this interview, but he wasnt his normal, i hate this guy and hope he dies, self... It seems like he's less awkward now, which is a good thing :D. He also doesn't seem too sore and ragey at nony for winning which is also a good thing. Props to idra, an interview i didn't totally despise him after =)

Heh sounds like he does indeed regret that game 2 cancel error >_>
Immediately quitting (though he was almost certainly screwed) because he was confident of winning anyways. Oh how bad decisions that were perfectly rational seem in hindsight.

It felt like Artosis was being kind and supportive to a friend, not biased though. I've heard Artosis criticise players he likes, including IdrA in the interview ('didn't seem like your micro was as good as it usually is in that game' - and IdrA agrees) and also in the commentating with Tasteless. Pretty sure I remember he criticised GosI[Terran] too in his match.

I'd say kind, not biased tho

Good interview.

leaving the game right away was never a bad decision. there was no way idra could've won that game after his misclick

I'm actually rooting for Mondragon. His plagues and swarms are what bought me.

Lol at the Backho - JF comparison. Don't think JF's that bad man.

Thanks for the interview! Idra seems pretty calm about the whole thing. I expected him to be extremely pissed and be BM'ing nony a lot, but I guess not. Though he does seem to hate JF.

i dont hate jf, hes a nice friendly guy and i have nothing against him personally. i just despise the way he plays.

Hah. Nice interview, Idra seemed quite mature about his loss.

However, I definitely want JF to win. His playstyle is just so entertaining... I couldn't care less if it's straight-up or not.
