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
Overall I found the interview quite good (<3 hating JF's style for being an abusive protoss, although JF is a cool guy and thought his PvP vs Ra was great!)
I don't think Idra said he doesn't like Mondi, just thinks he isn't in his prime and thus shouldn't be the victor, however if he does win, we can say dissy demolished the odds.
Mondragon is humble and modest in his interviews because that's how German(European) players tend to be, it's a cultural thing, certainly hasn't hurt accomplishments and makes him take less shit by comparison to Idra. Artosis/Idra etc. ranting about how Europeans are falsely modest is just as stupid as Europeans crying about Americans being cocky douchebags.
@Idra
Mindset and interviews are not the same thing, so Mondi isn't lying, but I figured you need to vent somewhere.

Nice interview and Idra seemed really calm and reasonable.

not enough drama =( i didn't like it haha

Too bad about the results, keep going for it Idra!

In fairness that's pretty much what social etiquette is.

Aha... very nice interview. Keep it up IdrA!

Excellent this is what we've been waiting for.

hows it rude to expect to win? its not like i said nonys a terrible person or even a bad player. hell predicting someones gonna lose 3 games doesnt even mean you think theyre worse than you. yeah can`t find the part where you imply that he is worse than you .... so what? I don't see why you are worked up over a professional competitor implying he is better than an opponent
with idra's history you can't be naive enough to think this is all friendly jostling. There's difference in delivery.

I can't help but to notice this, but does Idra have a lisp?

Of course it's not just friendly jostling--IdrA isn't joking around when he talks about his opponents' weak/abusive playstyles or their skill levels. He's completely serious...and again, so what?
I'm really not sure what you're getting at. Implicit in your comment seems to be the suggestion that, by making some statements about NonY's relative BW skill, IdrA is doing something inappropriate or rude (like indicting NonY's character? I have no idea). That's preposterous.
|
I wonder if he calls the CJ protoss' cheesy to their faces. That or asks the coaches to translate it for him lol.
(my point is its part of the toss race, and terran has been the dominate race for years... continuing to bitch about it won't help you win games as proven time and time again)
Having said that, still mad respect for even giving an interview and remaining composed during.
|
Nice interview! Gotta love idra, though I wanted both idra and nony to win, but sadly that can't happen. :/
|
I wish they'd have met in the finals rather than ro8. Both IdrA and NonY are such excellent players.

Great stuff. Much respect to Idra for taking the loss like a man. Wow, just wow. Comments like this one all throughout the thread. The only reasonable explanation I can come up with is that the bar is set really, really low for IdrA in terms of manner. That's the only thing that would explain these responses. He acted arrogantly and guaranteed a dominant win and then lost. So then you applaud him because after the loss he 'took it like a man'? he took it like a man. aus)macro applauded him for taking it like a man. what's the fucking problem?
How is it "kicking him while he's down" to state a fact? He guaranteed a dominant win. I'm not being unfair to him, that's what he said before the match. I'm sorry that you apparently can't recall what happened a few days ago.
Calm down IdrA fanboy.
