The best part of the interview was when Idra suggested that he would have won 3-1 if he would have gone one fac fe every game. Seriously. That's not how SC works! He always has everything completely figured out ("that's how things should go if I do this and that").

In my opinion that's a massive weakness right there. It's simply not the mindset that you should play Starcraft with...

its probably the polar opposite to mondis mindset, maybe thats why he doesnt like him and thinks Sen is a better player. He just cant appreciate/acknowledge that part of SC.

you have no clue what mondis mindset is because he lies through his teeth in every interview

no. thats how things COULD have gone had i done that, past tense. just an analysis of the games that i mentioned cuz i found it kinda funny that i usually get shit for playing conventionally and that i lost this series in part because i used some non standard builds.
obviously hindsight is 20 20 and nony came out ahead in the mind games. its not like im claiming i shouldve won, it was my choice to use those builds and it was a bad one. theres no harm in looking back on the series and pointing out what could have happened had i approached it differently. in fact its productive to do so because how else are you gonna learn from your mistakes.

I didn't mean to be harsh and I agree with you that post-game analysis is very important. I also (strongly) agree with the general statement that with conventional fe builds you would have fared much better. However I disagree with bold statements like "I would have won 3-1", and that's exactly what you said in the interview. There is no way of telling how those games would have gone, and that's my point...

It's like I don't have any problem with the "I'm gonna 3-0 him" statement before, as that is part of the general trash-talk that you are known (and in fact loved) for. However after a loss like that one, it just doesn't feel right to me to throw "I am the better player, under normal circumstances I would have won" into the face of every player you lose to.

you agree that conventional fe builds would have fared better, but then assume im saying im the better player by saying i think it would have been a 3-1? its not a comment on how good nony is, but on the fact that fac cc ebay would have been strong vs the builds he did in the 2nd and 3rd sets.
obviously im not saying a 3-1 was guaranteed had i only gone fac cc, nothing is guaranteed in sc and i didnt think i had to throw in a whole bunch of disclaimers to make that clear.
