I think it has something to do with the fact that all of the actual ustream videos are in 720p. I have no idea, just a guess

Lol, how would sarcasm even fit into his post? It wouldn't make any sense to be sarcastic when saying that. ... it would make lots of sense..
Hah, I think he was being sarcastic...

If they uploaded the VODs in fake 1080p it'd be a waste since it'd look exactly like 720p anyway.
Great day today. I knew there would be upsets but not this many, holy shit. Best SC2 tournament yet. I thought it was just going to be a "another SC2 tournament".

Just watched the Mondragon v. Zeerax vod. Roach swarm response to toss air is soooo cool! gggsss
|
so I guess Idra should give Mondi a call on how to play vs toss instead of saying that toss air is lame!! So impressive play by mondragen, it will be fun to see him play next round.

The t-shirt I was wearing today. Talk about coincidence!

i've discovered some similarities here.

IdrA wins any of these: Wow IdrA is such a God, amazing play
He never ever ever makes mistakes. IdrA never loses, his opponents just abuse the game. Being a good StarCraft II player means: Max out the fastest. Everything else has to be fixed by Blizzard. If IdrA fanboys were to balance the game Zerg 200/200 would be as strong as Protoss 200/200 but cost the same as now, and so on and so on...
This is pretty much the reason I don't like Idra. He claims imbalance while other Zergs overcome.

Idra made 7 drones when Cruncher moved out, was just gg right there :/.
|
In the end Idra is just being Idra, from his BW failures to his mediocrity in SC2
i dont think being top5 Z in the world equals mediocrity

With the stream itself, on every big fight and sometimes when the observer scrolls alot the screen gets very blurry and you can see shit for a few seconds. Is that an issue with ustream, gunrun said in irc that it has to do with bandwith caps on ustream, which sounds odd.

im so happy idra failed, gg cruncher
|
Real big shame idra got knocked out, i felt he could of gone all the way to the finals with all these random upsets. Not sure who to follow anymore since all my favourite players got knocked out :'( Tyler fighting!~

How is the top 5 placement calculated?

Hahaha, are you seriously comparing Idra to House?
There are a couple things that Idra lacks compared to House. Charisma is one of them. House has specific sense of humor, while Idar is just being an ass.
MC, being as arrogant as he can be, didn't blame lag or imba or any other bs. He said: oh, these foreigners are better than I thought, I'D BETTER PRACTICE MORE.
Idra... is just being Idra http://i.imgur.com/OgNzW.jpg

I know this will sound weird, but it's as if Idra plays as though Zerg units ARE as good as the Terran and Toss late game units, and it's Blizzard's fault for not fixing them. He seems to engage 200/200 deathballs head-on in a lot of scenarios.
I think at some point Zerg are going to just have to change their approach to the late game entirely -- like take every expansion and just harass the crap out of Terrans and Tosses until they have to trade bases or mine out.

And this is why i wont make any balance judgements at all based on his matches, he cries "OP" after every loss so it has kinda lost its meaning coming from him.
GG Cruncher, earned yourself quite a few new fans i bet

I don't see how IdrA should have deserved winning there. I still don't like his BM and that insult in between games "boy it must suck when skill matters" is just really really lame. And getting facerolled after such a stupid saying was just well deserved.
He should go and play counter strike, he wouldn't stand out there with his BM ^^

Most of you just don't understand what happened. Cruncher goes forge expand twice, all the time just trying to go for 200/200 "timing" attack...
And in the 3rd game, the first game where he was not going for a forge first, Day[9] said what every other mid level viewer was thinking : Cruncher is not going forge first... he might be 4gating. He was certainly trying to 4gate, keeping all his chrono for his cyber, but accidently let a drone scout the shit, so what do you do when you fail 4gate.... 6 gate I'm amused how you can call that "tactics".
