Why is Goody terrible? You should appreciate his awesome decision making and positioning which makes him able to compete at this level despite his lack of mechanics.

Oh God, Tasteless sounds terrible right now. Is he sick? Or are there audio problems?

Did you just say that Idra has charisma? Yup, there's a reason people love him and love to hate him. It's not just BM and skill. I have to wonder whether you know what the word means. The fact that some people "love to hate him" would have absolutely nothing to do with charisma. In fact that's the exact opposite of charisma. It's still charisma, even if it doesn't work on everyone. There certainly are a lot of people who actually like him, not just like to hate him. No one is universally loved, and while Idra's really far from universally loved, it's certainly better than general indifference. Uh, no. Idra barely shows emotion and most of his public comments involve cynicism and negativity. You're misusing the word charisma. Stop trying to win arguments on the internet, especially when your supporting evidence is your opinion. My evidence is the definition of the word, bud. "a spiritual power or personal quality that gives an individual influence or authority over large numbers of people.", ignoring the spiritual power part, his personal qualities (bm, cynicism, negativity, etc) gives him influence over a large number of people. He has charisma.
Notoriety and fame do not imply influence over a large number of people. Idra is not a leader of his fans. They do not follow orders from him on a regular basis. Trust me bro, you're misusing the word. The fact that you pulled a dictionary definition and still got it wrong is proof that you don't understand the word.

I haven't seen any brilliant decision making in any of those games. He basically just did the obvious and did the only things that were available to him.
In fact, that hopeful banshee gambit last game was a pretty bad decision. Goody is so unimpressive really.

Goodie is amazing. He proves just how amazing he is by beating people who have highly superior mechanics. I love watching his games because his unit positioning and strategies are just so great.

Select would have owned Ret's natural if he didn't throw his hellions away

OT: Select doing well to keep Ret's drone count down, pretty impressive considering Ret's usually phenomenal defense.

Do you really think he could have won the game, if he defended the roach attack with his banshees? He already lost too many scvs and surprising Nerchio with banshees was his only chance.

Ret was .5 a second from losing 30 banelings, so lucky :O

He would have had a better chance at winning the game by staying alive than having his banshees spotted in [his] base and then trying to fly over the map hoping nerchio didn't build a few spore crawlers.

100 supply lead for Ret now! Just harassing SelecT's front and back :p

Ret threw so many units away all game but Select lost so many orbitals he should not have that it didn't matter =/

He made the decisions before any roaches were in his base. The game was already lost.

So many mutas just given away and he still comes out ahead by harrassing SeleCT here and there. SeleCT looked like he didn't know what to do at the last few minutes of Game 1.
