I was wondering what people's opinions are of how attitude and frustration can affect your game play.

At MLG Columbus a very relaxed Idra demolished one of the best protoss' in the game in MC in the first series of the event beating him 2-0....

At the end of the tournament, top 4, Idra, coming off a series he threw away against MMA, only needed 2 wins to knock out MC who needed to win 4. 20 minutes later Idra had dropped three games and while the final game was entertaining, Idra was finally knocked out.

Firstly... do you believe that Idra was capable of beating MC in that final series?
Secondly... do you think MC got into Idra's head with his famous cross throat thumbs down?
Thirdly... what affect does mental strength and your attitude have on your gaming? In SC2 and others?

Interested to know...

p.s ... fourthly... for those who saw it... who else found MMA's shoryuken absolutely HILARIOUS!
