The Koreans are better players and the best Koreans have the higher seed and latency advantage on the best international players so the top Koreans will probably dominate the tournament. huh? I don't get it...? | ||

As for Haypro's response to Ret leaving you have to know that any answer without the obligatory knee jerk "we're sad to see him leave but..." is going to sound cold. Assuming he didn't mean it like it came off I was laughing pretty hard at how that looked in print. Yes it's so much better now that you're gone, teamy! Edit: They couldn't have put Cruncher's portrait on the far right? | ||

Are you going to defeat Nony? IdrA[Media]: Of course I will. I actually gained a lot of confidence from our seed match. His only real chance to beat me is cheese, and the Destination game where he cheesed demonstrated just how uncomfortable he is with that style of play. He opened gas rush, which is good, but then went fast nexus which threw away that advantage, and then went blatantly obvious carriers when my fast cc would allow me to timing push freely, even while getting a 3rd cc. PokerStrategy.com TSL: Were you impressed by Nony's 6-0 against Horror and Tarson? IdrA[Media]: If I beat him 3-2 BBS vs double nexus every game it would be more impressive than beating a European Terran 3-0 PvT. PokerStrategy.com TSL: What do you think about his prediction that he will beat you? IdrA[Media]: Only emo or falsely modest Europeans predict that they're going to lose games. Confidence is everything in any kind of competition. If you don't absolutely expect to win, you don't really have much of a chance. So yes of course he says that, but it doesn't mean anything. PokerStrategy.com TSL: How will you counter double nexus and the unit that kills everything? IdrA[Media]: Trick question? Double nexus doesn't have a counter. PokerStrategy.com TSL: So if Nony goes double nexus every game, you might lose? IdrA[Media]: Nah, if he can get a free double nexus diagonal positions on Andromeda and still almost lose, it won't really matter what builds he does. PokerStrategy.com TSL: Will it be a 3-0 victory for you? IdrA[Media]: Yes. PokerStrategy.com TSL: What are your predictions for the other matchups? IdrA[Media] Ret vs Sen I dont really know, I've heard Sen's zvz is really good and theres always the luck factor. I'd imagine it'll be 3-2 either way with Ret more likely to win. White-Ra vs JF I don't know much about either, but Ra is the better player. JF's play wasn't nearly as impressive against Terran as a lot of people seemed to think, and he's up against another Protoss this time. White-Ra should win. Mondragon vs Fenix I think Mondragon will win 3-1, but it's not impossible for Fenix. Mondragon will be much more capable of dealing with unusual strategies than Kolll, and I think Brat's standard TvZ is better than Fenix's. PokerStrategy.com TSL: Is Nony your biggest threat? IdrA[Media] No, I think the Ra vs JF winner will be more dangerous simply because they're more comfortable with cheesy, abusive play. If Nony wants to play to my weaknesses, he takes himself out of his element as well, so while he is the more skilled player, I'm much more comfortable with him style wise. PokerStrategy.com TSL: Hypothetically, if Nony wins, what would you say to him? IdrA[Media]: I don't know, I've never really been a fan of thinking about situations that aren't gonna happen. Seems kinda like a waste of time. PokerStrategy.com TSL: Thanks for the interview and we look forward to your games! IdrA[Media]: Thanks, I hope they're good. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=111989 LOL Haypro, I used to watch smallville all the time with my brother but stopped after like the 4th season or so. Hilarious, going in with¨that kind of overflowing confidence and cancelling your CC. GG! Cheering for the Haypro of course, he's gonna eat this ukranian for dinner and absorb his essence. | ||

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. the funny part is, is that that describes his personality perfectly | ||

How do you know the games were played before the patch? Any source? I'd like to know when all these games are played but never got an answer when I asked in threads | ||

Looking forward to him dominating Cruncher. Although another upset would be pretty cool. ^^ | ||

 . Hilarious as always.I wonder if Cruncher really does have something cooked up like he says. Maybe something like the Immortal/Zealot Warp Prism rush Kiwi pulled on Idra at MLG. I think he'll need a funky rush like that to take a game. | ||

I'd like to know when all these games are played but never got an answer when I asked in threads I don't, it's purely an educated guess based on a few things which might sound so tenuous I'm not going to state them. The players aren't allowed to tell when the matches were played so we aren't going to know until the matches air. | ||

It's funny how that sentence showed more of his personality than he could ever describe otherwise. | ||

That's so hilarious. For some reason, this made me think of taking everyone's NASL application videos, and splicing them together into a celebrity squares parody show with a voiceover asking dating questions. | ||

Looking forward to seeing Haypro, seems like he's rarely in streamed games but I know he's always practicing hard. | ||

. Idra should win, but ZvT is never guaranteed if someone can 4gate really well with some shenanigans slipped in on top of that. | ||
