Finals: Idra vs Select

[@KillingWithaSmile613]

i was there, took a pic with idra. crazy that its been 11 years. the hay day of SC2 as an esport

[@user-knhgvg454g]

I was playing against idra and his friend in archon mode and they were both grandmaster and I had a silver rank ally and we beat him and he raged so hard I will never forget how mad he was

[@Wheatspin]

oh lord... 9 months ago... SC2 has evolved so much in such a short time...

[@lithuaniandude222]

I wish IdrA comes back to big league of sc2. He's been gone forever now.. We miss you IdrA!

[@MrNoobslayer123]

@elusuario989 idras name is greg fields, Gracken is his nickname taken from greg. I dunno how it came to be but thats what it is.

[@MoneeeBLG]

@Gibsonlpt This is from a patch loooong ago before u needed to just to select and diselect units and change the checkpoint of the CC/hatch/nexus but now u need commands like movin ur units :)

[@JustaArmada99]

@The7thFold how are they stupid? Just because someone loses to mutas it becomes stupid??

[@Sandermatt87]

@StSIZpanX Thank you

[@elfomarcio]

@Gibsonlpt they move thay're mouses like they'r having a hepileptic (is that spelled right?) attack

[@PhlashGaming]

@MrNoobslayer123 in korea they pronounced his name, greg, as "grack" thus came to be the name "Gracken."

[@RichardMNixon]

@cmgreen4 Good idea, they should probably buff hellions too since I never see them in protoss matchups.

[@Sandermatt87]

@Glitchesftw What exactly is XBL?

[@INFEDnoX]

Are you serious? What league are you in?

[@StreamStationAlpha]

@MrXPropaneX agreed. Used to day9's crazy humor and helpful advice in his show, but I didnt know how well of a commentator he was until now.

[@MrXtricity]

@molibya not to ..be difficult or anything... but SC has been the largest sport in south Korea since the release of SC 1.. so yeah.. this is, and has been a sport now, and for quite a while

[@RussellSyx]

heh, i love how the map review chick was talking about high yeilds. but looking at the naturals.

[@FlyStuckOnTheWeb]

Anyone notice the the caster that isn't Day9 sounds exactly like Kyle Gas?

[@thebhall3]

Did u live?

[@EGOZugobok]

IdrA is a Talented player, and has helped me inprove

[@Sh4nkDesigns]

whats going on in the background haha. sounds more fun to watch than this at the beginning

[@Glitchesftw]

Those guys are really calm and civilised :P, I wish more than 5% of XBL was like that.

[@TheLowerFlowerPower]

I'd love to see Idra do an IQ test only for him to ragequit that aswell.

[@stellfallon3007]

what happened to him?

[@manlazy602]

You've never played the game have u?

[@elusuario989]

@Bloodlustian wtf r u talking about?

[@WhoDat1011]

@sigoyy Duh, it's starcraft. What else were you expecting...

[@hodgmandinio1]

but what happened to him?

[@FranciscoGarcia-bo7wv]

Is IdrA dead or he left the series? I feel confused.

[@thekenyan100]

most likely something happening on the Halo game or one of the other screens. Maybe call of duty, all the stuff happens in the same room

[@EmGBlackout]

Thats actually a very different insult that you dont normally hear, which is a nice change. Idra is angry, that doesnt make him immature in my books. But you could easily say anyone under age 25 is immature, because it is pretty much true.

[@iSH4DOWZ]

i really wanna play this game... i have it but havnt got a good enough video card :(

[@crashman213]

@BrosephMG almost all the pros are in grandmasters league, so everyone they face is basically a pro, or a reallyyyyy good sc2 player

[@BlueEyedSon101]

omg if this is 720p i feel bad for 240p

[@ZC.Andrew]

Did he BM you?

[@TheDJAB]

@iSH4DOWZ If you want to run it on a PC, it's quite impossible that it doesnt run. I have a PC with a quite old video card and just 1 GB RAM and during the matches it runs perfectly. But it's critical on laptops ;)

[@62chipo]

i miss him... its funny to see him rage :P

[@alexanderbrown2717]

We miss you idra

[@wasabiii2006]

@molibya why wouldn't it be a sport?

[@MobiusInfinity117]

@Xavya so does HD :D but Day9 has more experience

[@Sealside]

"give a cheer for idra!" *silence*

[@misterhalo2007]

I can totally agree Idra's attitude is completly HORID. But you can't deny he has achieved more than your average starcraft player and is one of the best. His playskill is rediculous. If he had a better attitude he'd be god mode.

[@Excile1432]

i love the background noise

[@XiaoXiaoo]

terran has flagships like the Hyperion that can warp through space instantly :) all you really need is to send in 6 SCVs and give em 450 minerals, (which becomes a CC and some left over 50 mins for the start)

[@Xavya]

@Lightwish01 Day9 > Husky or HD for sure. Also Day 9 has the first hand pro gaming experience.

[@BradFazner]

game 2 starts at 13:35

[@DrKaku01]

there still ppl playing hon ? LOOL

[@NosajThingz]

Yeah, Idra is back. He's #1 in the GM ladder (whenever I last checked).

[@Serenity17]

not anymore

[@lethargicastengah572]

24:33 "He just won't STFU and let me speak..."

[@gungphoey]

never seen or played starcraft before and when i watched this i was like...wtf....O.O

[@norskel]

With this resolution it feel more like sc1 then sc2

[@GoW3BeastlyBOI]

and that is why the first map is removed or patched

[@kpolan]

Idra does have a slightly hot temper, but this is undeniable; he is a very good player.

[@TechInspected]

Hey congrats Idra!

[@MrBagelyBagels]

IDRA IS BACK GUYS LOOKS HES BACK

[@chuckbobson4788]

I thought this was C&C 3 TW.

[@StSIZpanX]

@Sandermatt87 xbox live, the online multiplayer for xbox

[@F3nCERX]

THIS...IS...STARCRAFT

[@KueKueful]

What? U'm a high masters Zerg player and I can tell you that Zerg A-Moves the most. It's Protoss that A-Moves the least. (Hence why everyone only says "Deathball" Toss - A-Move. They have to require blink micro/ff's/guardian shield etc during the early game and late game. lLate game too,but their late game is over exaggerated herp] Terran A-Moves a lot but they require a ton of splitting/stimming/sieging/studder step)

[@dantheairsoftman97]

wow and what a life you have!

[@TheSteven91stamkos]

the game starts at 3:39 to save you time

[@Gj23jk2]

YOU DON'T SAY?

[@HerrLeotardo]

Wolf in the background during the winner-interview 27:00 !

[@NromulousZ]

welcome to NERD WARS

[@makumaru]

Problem with cheesy tactic is what was shown here: good player can counter it easily. At the beginning terran had advantage - quick attack with helions was countered nicely by one spinecravler and two zerglings. Instead switching to marines he started pumping more helions. He sealed his fate when mutas attacked and he had no air units - although at the begining when viking attacked overlord i said "Yes, but why just one?"

[@GoldenBoyXCM]

this looks nerdy to me but i think its very cool once u understand the game

[@headsuplg9356]

whoever selected the commercial points for this video will be judged

[@amujtabaa]

What's wrong with that guys voice?

[@MrNoobslayer123]

@TheSibylic cool story.

[@TheJimdangles]

and?

[@pure1charman]

he is top ten grandmaster and going down but i think hell make a comeback soon

[@EmGBlackout]

If he had a better attitude he would be just like any other pro that doesnt make it into the finals. His attitude is what makes him stand out and has generated a huge fanbase for him and SC2 community. Who the hell cares about seeing more generic Koreans? I dont care how well they play, pretty much all of them have boring robotic like personalities, except maybe MC. Idra is raw and blunt, doesnt give a shit. He brings an element of badassery to SC2.

[@ThePriest96]

Wow, that s an inventive idea and a really good one too, since even a little boy could do that little trash talk. And yes, I would prefer it since it is not a real job :P

[@ba5brown]

dude if you have never watched starcraft before then it is one of the most confusing things..ever..

[@LowiesYT]

Don't lie you would prefer a little boy, Mr. ThePriest96.

[@Spongey1985]

Oh you are so wrong it hurts my head. Maturity isn't decided by one's age, maturity is decided by one's state of mind and mental well being. IdrA is a disturbed person who is so insecure he feels the need to throw out ridiculously pathetic insults. You have no grasp of immaturity if you still believe he is not.

[@elusuario989]

@MrNoobslayer123 Oh, ic, good to know I guess..

[@Chenstrapftw]

@iSH4DOWZ U dont need a very good comp to run SC2.

[@Deegher]

13:35 Second Game start (Actual game Footage)

[@Spongey1985]

Really? So wishing cancer upon an opposing players' friends and family is not considered immature to you? He did this not long ago after losing 6 games in a row to the same protoss player..

[@kavinh10]

he really doesn't smile 0.0

[@therouxarts]

Well we see him in WCS CHINA

[@seanyyg]

These hosts are goofs. Idra and Select are awesome =)

[@Ryan-xy1ny]

match starts at 3:38

[@hodgmandinio1]

true

[@vennish11]

sounds like itmejp

[@tnygp]

:) ty

[@cheesegang1]

Dude on the right sounds like South Parks Mr.Slave.

[@zikamine]

3:36 Game starts.

[@NeoKillerXTC]

Actually, among all the three races, zerg a moves the LEAST.

[@thatsmybucket]

exactly! it sucks that it's him and vibe of all people though. like seriously, america's "best" seeded players aren't even on the same level as stephano

[@n2dpun]

lol thats HoN not starcraft. starcraft isn't just about skill there are soo many other factors

[@PhishcakeZOR]

Against Terran there is a lot of A-move, but that's not all it is at all. You can't A-roll somebody until you've got them out of position or taken out the bigger units like tanks or thors or colossus etc. Doing that requires a lot of skill in micro and harassment.

[@bumble144]

man idra is good, I like him n his attitude

[@prwscr]

Idra's smile at 24:51 does look like KassemG lol

[@Threeballer97]

One of the casters sounds like Mr. Slave. XP

[@seankearney-mcmanus4486]

People support him because he's funny to watch him rage. This isn't about maturity, it's about entertainment. Is it "mature" to refuse to cheer for the wrestler that freaks out and beats up the referee? Silly goose, it's all for entertainment, and it works! Lol

[@malbyammala1748]

3:43 Start of game.

[@zak1122]

Wheres the women? besides the 3... Wait, I think they are playing CS. :p

[@VinylDScratch]

24:50 Idra smiles!

[@I2handedI]

I think he sounds like Mr Slave
