Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

audio clip that
that is the gold within the rough
Funny Idra interview afterwards.
<3<3<3
That actually is pretty classy.
Because it's obviously not a real game unless Idra wins 0.o

1) Early game/early mid game (~10 minute) all-ins
2) Mindgames.
And historically IdrA has always beaten HuK.
I think "macro game" would have been a more accurate description but the point stands. IdrA is much better than HuK.
HuK is actually not that great.
That was my attitude towards street hockey as a kid.
There is a little IdrA in all of us.
Well, he is a pretty small guy, so I guess he fits.
daaamn
How many times do Incontrol and Tyler need to explain on state of the game how ridiculously hard it is to get good results on these events.
And it just got weird. Yeah.
I'm sure TLO will put him in his place. And what is this noise about them returning in 3 hrs? BOOO!
Because as tanner pointed out, you cannot hold a 6 gate with hydra den first.
Going roach warren then hydra den is a classic example of slowing down your teching to be safe against early-/mid-game aggression. It also turns out that roaches tend to have more utility than hydras overall with burrow and tunneling claws (mostly because hydras are too slow).
no you just don't understand, huk lost
therefore
bad
(although i will admit huk's play is pretty slops at times)
But he has played a metric ton of games these last few days.
Just hoping he manages to find a good shape for nest season of code S.
There's nothing wrong with saying IdrA is a better player, or pointing out that he usually has HuK's number. There is a huge problem with describing that scenario as a "real" game, as if somehow wins acquired by a different method only count as part of a win. IdrA has a huge mental block from discounting successful strategies that he personally doesn't want to use, and it makes him a weaker player.
It would be like a boxer trying to win on points complaining every time he got knocked out. Maybe he wins more games in the long run, but he's the only one getting punched in the head =P.

That don't make no sense at all
So Huk beats Idra by either outplaying him with timing attacks or outplaying him overall
But Idra is still better
:rotate:
Being amazing at the game from the 12 minute mark onwards still leaves 0-12 minutes of you being bad
TLO's definitely the underdog in that match-up. His play is currently too inconsistent to beat idra straight up. His only hope is to steal two games using his typical unorthodox tactics.
Is it really BM to joke about someone ragequitting when faced with hallucinations?
Don't you think that maybe Huk bowing out gracefully shows that he didn't intend for it to be BM? I still think he was just surprised that it happened, not that he was rubbing it in. We'll know better if Huk ever gives an interview about it.

I don't think BM against IdrA really counts as BM. He brings it on himself with his attitude.
thats generally how tlo approaches all matches and it works out for him
someone earlier quoted him saying something to the extent of "the further the game descends into chaos, the better for me"
and the kid does have amazing crisis management at times
edit: idra has been dishing it out for so long that he needs to man the fuck up and learn to take it sometimes
Huk BM's Idra, Idra BM's Huk
Huk says gg gl, Idra still BM's Huk
People likes these two make everything so much more interesting as a spectator. :^:
Really looking forward to seeing the results tomorrow morning, Naniwa still hasn't lost a map (twenty something wins so far), Select looks great and Idra is playing well and matched with a TLO who's beaten Tyler and Drewbie.
He was obviously just trying to throw IdrA on tilt with BM and I'd have told him to fuck off too.
Glad IdrA smashed him and rejected his half assed boy-I-look-stupid-now-that-IdrA-crushed-me olive branch.
His manner is a disgrace to the entire sport. He is as childish as he is good at the game, and Starcraft is the worse for it.
Idra is a polarizing player. Nobody can question his mechanical skills, but his strategic thinking is clearly more debatable. The man also really needs a sports psychologist so that he stops being a whiny little bitch and stops folding to mental pressure.
Although we should keep in mind that these progamers aren't exactly rolling in cheddar like 'real' pro athletes.
It's BM to gloat at your opponent about winning the previous game, yes.
it adds flavor to the competition
thats why firebathero was literally the best progamer to grace this earth

But let's just agree to disagree, some people here are pretty dead set on excusing idra however stupid he makes himself look.
He isn't Fatal1ty and for that we should count our blessings
Only one of the players manned up and saluted the other player after having lost for a good game, wishing him luck in the tournament. And it wasn't the Gracken.
