at least they had good intentions this time, even if they missed. maybe given another year or two.
I am reading this as: "I will be playing Starcraft for the next 10 years, waiting a year or two before my complete domination is not out of the question." <3
Is that his response to the NASL article?

| Do the Qualifiers have a losers bracket? Aren't these games pointless because you already get into tournament with top 8? |

What, that article is not that bad, its actually pretty good imo. It could be much worse than it is now. Someone else could easily have written how idra will never win anything again etc. In this article the writer tries to understand idra and even feels a little sympathy for idra. |

the article never talks about Morrow only about how IdrA failed at every part of the game and how his terrible play allowed Morrow to win
The sum of these errors meant that throughout the series, Morrow was able to get cost effective engagements by winning spell caster battles, forcing engagements on his own terms through defensive nukes, judicious scanning and good movement, even when he was playing from behind.
it makes it sound like Morrow was some recond rate terran that only won because IdrA played terribly
to put it in perspective, Morrow the winners name only apeared 12 times and mainly when discussing IdrA like "even though IdrA tried to stretch Morrow thin" but IdrAs name apeared over 3 times (37) times in the article
nowhere does it praise Morrow for his creative use of Ravens it only condems IdrA for not adapting to it
Morrows heavy medivac style that prevented IdrAs infesters and Ultras splash from being very effective was completely ignored and the autho showed to not ahve any idea how zerg works claiming a split map position should ahve favoured IdrA
and he called game 2 an early GG despite IDrA not even having enough resources to remake his lost hatcheryLast edit: 2012-05-11 08:52:43 |

| It's been seen, posted, and discussed a couple of pages ago. Nothing interesting or worthwhile in it. |

Actually, the article is pretty well written and provides appropriate analysis of Idra's development and current state. Certainly, his recent situation doesn't look extraordinarily bright, but that shouldn't be a reason for big e-sport organizations to not write about it.
Idra is frequently praised for speaking straightforwardly and not sugarcoating the truth, which makes him a pretty popular figure, but equally there shouldn't be restrictions on explicit articles about his showings. There's no need for double standards, Idra has no problems with unvarnishedly speaking about other players even in front of huge audiences, so he doesn't have to be protected from critic as well.

That's just not true.
"Like many of the games he's played recently he didn't look behind in terms of fundamentals, and the games were competitive. Idra's drop defense for instance in Game 3 was absolutely immaculate, and his macro was typically solid."
"Morrow studied Idra's new style, his timings, and picked them apart. In the first two games Morrow used a Raven with PDD and Banshees to combat Idra's queen defense and delay his third significantly. It was a thing of beauty, the perfect example of playing to the map and the player. Morrow unraveled Idra's style and dictated what was possible all the way through the midgame in most of the series."
"Rather, Idra looked like a good player who wasn't as experienced with his build, not knowing how to crack a hard nut, facing someone who was so comfortable that they could tailor their builds for the map and opponent. That level of comfort takes maturity and time. Perhaps there's some hope that he's at long last at least on the right track."Last edit: 2012-05-11 09:07:26 |

if the article was supposed to be about IdrA, as in have a title like "player spotlight: IdrA" then i wouldnt be discussing this but IdrAs past and current situation isnt more important then actually discussing the showmatch and talking about the winner
anyway i dont plan to talk more about this ive said my bit and sent my feedback to NASL |

idra may still not get into spring arena #2, if he looses vs sleep and then looses in the lb-finals
but the games arent live, and i thought the qualified players were already leaked, so dunno.. maybe someone knows the facts. |
