I'm an Idra fan, but It think he may have already lost, because he's not saying anything about TSL in public. Check his twitter, he downplays TSL3 on it.


That was when jtv invitational was going on at the same time as the first day of tsl 3. Idra beat cruncher that day but lost to 2 others. So who knows how his game went. Though I must say Idra is practicing with axslav alot recently so I'd expect some good results on sunday.

Ironically, personality is a major part of what has given Idra his "fame" in the Starcraft community. He would be given a fraction of the attention he receives now if he was a generic, neutral character that a lot of SC gamers are. He raises controversy and people love that. Ironically again his statement about personality is an expression of his personality and again a huge reason why he is popular.

Personality is good in all walks of competition. It builds excitement around match ups, it builds up a fan base around that player, and ultimately is good for E-Sports in the west. People like seeing players with unique and large personalities. If ALL players were boring and mundane there would be less of a following for the competitive scene, and would definitely result in less of a draw for newcomers to the scene, and ultimately stunt the growth of Starcraft. To a lot of people it's not just the game itself, its everything else that comes with it.

I know this might not be the best analogy for an average TL'er to relate to, but I think it's rather appropriate. MMA applies this concept really well. Fighters often have big, outgoing personalities, and promotions such as the UFC really take advantage of that. They put a lot of emphasis on bringing out these personalities through pre-fight and post-fight video interviews that result in people caring for the fights and competitors even more so.

Another example, during the last State of the Game, Tyler called MC out on his play style, and followed with stating that he wanted to meet MC in TSL3 and beat him. In stating this, he's effectively started to build hype around the idea this match up. In saying this, he is essentially making people WANT this match up and if it were to happen, there would be much more appeal to it. I for one, hate PvP; but I would be more than happy to see this specific match up because there is now some background to it; and it happened because a player was willing to express some personality towards the idea.


It's naive to say personality isn't important. Personality creates attention on someone, and with that, more viewers, sponsors and overall growth of the game we all love.


Did you ever think that Idra understands this whole concept and was clearly just saying that because that is apart of his image? Thus by saying what he did only further fuels his personality and makes even more people fall in love with him.

Idra actually surprised me with his answers. I'm a big fan of Idra mainly for his playstyle and entertainment value, but I always respected him for having a good enough filter to keep interviews professional. However his, and some other's interviews for TSL have been kind of lackluster.

In their defense maybe its because it is a pre-game interview so they may have reserves about expanding too much on their thoughts going into the games.

Q: If you had to introduce yourself to our fans who never met you, how would you describe yourself? Write a few sentences about your personality.

Personality should be irrelevant. This is a computer game tournament, not a dating show.



Ironically, that statement just made me think, wow, this is why I love IdrA haha

LET THE TRASH TALK BEGIN!!! IDRA vs CRUNCHER = AWESOME GAMES!!! also I love how HayprO doesn't answet completley the questions, like
Q: Your first round opponent is Empire.Kas, who is currently the #1 ranked TLPD European player. What are your thoughts about him as a player?

HayprO: Kas seems to be a really good Terran player.


Like saying "yeah I'll kick this dude's ass"
Great matches coming up this weekend!!!
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

Are they going to not post the last interviews with TLO/Nada/Mondragon/Zeerax until it starts? That's kinda dissapointing.

Sorry to say to cruncher who said he wants to prove himself that he can go far, but if you all in cheese IdrA every game you are proving exactly the opposite so I hope you intend on showing off solid mechanics. I hope HayprO can come out on top against Kas, but I think Kas will 2-0 him. Thanks for the interviews TL great work and can't wait for the matches! Thanks to little app factory for sponsoring

Cruncher has showed off solid mechanics, it's best not to believe every word that comes from Idra's mouth.

Q: Are you confident you can beat him? Do you expect him to do any risky strategies against you?

Yes, he's going to 4 gate all-in both games unless he decides to be clever and make voidrays or DTs.

I believe it 100 percent.
