That's pretty much exactly what I'm saying. Towards the end of the tournament I felt like I wasn't watching the player who 2-0'd MC.

IdrA's nonchalant/doesn't give a **** attitude isn't a secret. That's why I'm saying what I'm saying.

I just can't believe anyone wouldn't put effort into the final matches of a $10K tournament of a sport which their life revolves around. Idra obviously made some horrible, horrible judgements and was simply in a screwed up set of mind after prematurely GGing vs MMA.

But I don't for one second believe he wasn't trying. I think with his weak mindset and emotions got the better of him so his absolute best effort involved some PATHETICALLY executed all-ins whilst he felt sorry for himself.

I'm sick of hearing so many Idra fans saying he lost on purpose vs MMA to go snipe MC or he just wanted to prove that toss was imba or he didnt want to beat koreans for some ridiculous reason.

The problem wasn't him not putting effort in, it was him being too weak mentally to handle the pressure.

I'm not saying he's throwing the matches and I'm not saying it isn't pressure problems. What I am saying is that IdrA may have been in the "dark place" and is less than willing to play out a disadvantage.

IdrA has a defeatist attitude which is why he's less than likely to scrap out games to bitter ends to try win a match. On top of tournament fatigue/stress whatever you want to call it.
