Dude. The guy plays protoss. You ditch any foreign toss against Mondi or Sen in a BoX, you know what happens? Lots of whimpering probes, blue goo and zealots begging for mercy. Im sorry but neither of the tosses have a chance here against either of these monster zergs. I'd bet 10 000 euros on it and still wouldnt break a sweat on it. Nony or JF, they are going to DIE. in the final. I'm amazed if they can take even one game from either zerg monster. and as for IdrA.. well, again there he is offering his explanations on a performance that was not satisfactory. His misery makes my coffee taste better. Nice shirt though.  | ||

While the odds may have been enormously against you, you really rob the game of its spirit when you respond that way. You take this game extremely seriously - as well you should - but i sometimes feel you become too disconnected with the other half that really makes what you do inspiring and satiating. It's a situation where i think when you look back in 10 years, you won't regret so much that you hit the escape key at the wrong moment, but that you let doing so rob you of an opportunity to play your heart out at something you love to do, in front of countless fans who love to watch you do so. That us fans love to watch you play - win or lose - and that at some point that that may be more important to you than winning/having won. More over, I don't think it's a stretch to say that you're the superior player to Nony when it comes to mechanics - if such a mechanical error could happen to you, could it not to Nony as well? The spirit of competition is not just about the shortest, most efficient route to victory. I was sad when you quit game 2. | ||

The spirit of competition is not just about the shortest, most efficient route to victory. I was sad when you quit game 2. It was very unlikely he would be able to get anything decent going game 2 after the cancel. He couldn't defend it easily and Nony could just lolexpand and be ahead in a macro war. Better to accept the error, take the loss and draw a line under it than have it turn into a long drawn out and highly annoying loss with the constant subtext of that one mistake. I don't think it likely Nony would accidentally cancel his nexus in the one game Idra cancels his CC. | ||

His misery makes my coffee taste better. Nice shirt though. You can't count Nony in the standard "foreigner" veign. Whilst Mondragon and Sen might out-manuever JF, it won't be so easy with Nony. I think they had more chance of succesfully cheesing Idra 4 times! What sets Nony apart is his impeccable macro, which is very useful in modern PvZ. Nony is going to hold off anything thrown at him in the early game and then he will just pull massively ahead in the midgame. The only person who could have stopped him was Ret. | ||

If only Nony didn't have a beautiful wife and a good RL life I really think he would've made it huge in Korea! Oh well thanks for the interview, gl to idra in the future and nony you better fucking win the whole thing! GOGO NONY | ||

Everyone can say that AFTER a game. No question about Nony training for 1-2 weeks to get this good and Idra training in korea and still loosing (TALENT). So lets summerize Nony did not outmicro Idra, Idra would have won with FE in every game oh yeah and after all it was only cheese and all ins by Nony. Oh and since we play that "what would have been" game, If Mondi had gone to korea for such a long time he would already 50:0 every foreigner. And HURRAY for trashalking JF after he knocked out Withe-Ra and Terran. Well at least let`s all focus on the t-shirt and give him credit for that cause it`s the only thing he deserves credit for. | ||

Doing something for the fans may be good, but with those kind of stakes honestly a player should just do what he needs to do to help him win the set. I don't think dragging out a hopeless battle is a good use of your energy/focus in a bo5. Speaking as a fan, too, I wouldn't have liked to see that game go on. | ||
