"I played my second courage match a few weekends ago. A lot of the excitement and anticipation was gone from my first time as I had experienced everything before and knew what to expect, that made it a bit easier to just focus on preparing for the games themselves. My coach and I arrived at Yongsan station (the place where early round OSL matches and Pro League games are held) around 11 in the morning, and were promptly told to wait for an hour. For some reason the group A games were taking forever, they were just starting the 4th round as group B was supposed to start. This wasn’t all bad as I got to meet a few guys I know from battle.net while we were all milling around outside the door to the tournament room. Besides the delay nothing of interest really happened, so onto the games."

Idra gives a pretty in-depth review and battle report of his second Courage tournament games. It's a great read, and almost better than replays since he tells us exactly what he was thinking.
|
I think he improved a lot, first time he playing in courage he's probably shaking in his legs, now he seems much more calm and having a better mindset.
|
|
very nice, I hope he wins the next one or two ..
|
Wow, he did really well, beating 3 and almost beating the eventual group winner.
How many rounds is it to win the whole Courage?
|
how many rounds do you have to win in courage?
|
Wow, what an insight into his gameplay. I really hope he will make it to later stages some day!

but thanks to countless gamers getting jewed by MinGu I’m always rather wary of 2 hatch tech now
adding in 3 factory tank, preparing me for blue storm ultra-gay tvz.
haha I can almost hear him saying that in his voice.
That was a damn fine and in-depth report~

After reading this I'm an Idra fan now.
The use of "jewed" and the plan to cheese Savior did it for me.
|
Great report, good to hear he's doing well.
|
조으뜸 really didn't know about Mutalisk stacking? o_O
|
Great report, nice progression. My hopes are with you for doing better next time!

hmm, 4 rax timing before lair tech isn't a cheese for me, but I guess idra's defintion for cheeses is rather wide :O

Nice job Idra, 4th round is excellent.

IdrA seems to be doing really well. Go IdrA Go!
|
When is the next Courage League? I must see him in PL. August what?
|
Awesome reports.
It just shows how amazing progamers are. We tend to think of players like Mingu as "crappy", they're actually phenomenal.

Shoot that's pretty freaking good... A nice handful of wins! Go US!
|
I can't believe there's been no mention of that epic hidden hydra den behind the extractor, and stashing the lurker eggs around the hatchery strat. That shit is epic.

Impressive indeed! The 3rd game versus forever[shield] would have been a real treat to see. Thrice is a charm - best of luck next time around!
|
Replays would be amazing. Eh, I can dream.
|
man, this is a good read. Looking forward to the next Courage, whatever happens.
|
haha idra fighting! Idra I'm in Seoul right now we should hang out some time.

Hey Idra, I know it's off-topic, and I dunno if you're reading the comments still or not, but it'd be really cool if you created a "Ask me questions" thread like Tasteless has, and just check it/answer it every now and then or something.
|
Idra keep up the good work!
|
great work idra
im cheering for you all the way from australia
its very interesting to get a first hand report of your games
|
Nice work and nice write up. Would be nice if you do a similar for the next Courage.
