It's entirely understandable to be happy that you have reached an MMR that allows you to be matched against the very peak of the server. People that read blogs and are upset that it's mostly personal stuff shouldn't be in the blogs forum.

What's with people making topics like this today? You won a game, you helped show someone how to defend cheese... it's a ladder game. I know IdrA has dozens of these a day; that's all his stream is.

And no foreigners can beat IdrA in a macro game consistently, sadly. :/


Is there a reason you re-posted the exact same post with an extra sentence you could have just edited into the first?

Also, why is that sad?

I think you're getting caught up on the "I cheesed".

It's more about "cheesed Idra".

I highly doubt people would care as much if you cheesed another top Zerg. Idra almost asks for it though the way he reacts every time lol. Besides, he still needs practice stopping it apparently.

This is a blog. Blogger writes whatever he wants within reasons. Diary, random thought, a drawing, w/e.

It's not in SC2 General section or SC2 Strategy section. He posted a video and wrote "I will become a great protoss who will defeat a really good player, IdrA, in a macro match".

4gate doesn't exactly require too much skills to pull off. I wouldn't be proud of any 1base victory in any matchup even, except maybe pvp. But obv OP is goodish if he can be matched against the mighty one.

First I thought you cheesed him, and he said "Apologize for playing that race" at the end of the game, and that is why you made this blog entry. That would have been way funnier, but oh well.

Did the people posting here even read the blog to begin with?

He is not proud of winning a cheese game, he just thought IdrA's reaction is funny.
Marc clearly stated he wants to be able to take "real" (being Macro) games off IdrA one day in the not so distant future.
To all "attention-whore"-callers: This is a blog [def].
A blog is meant to contain random thoughts, rants or stories of it's author(s).
Given that, how would this post be inappropriate?

On-topic: lulz were had. Very entertaining video, although I spill my drink every single time close to the end when you get exited about your win ^__^

Look forward to more of these entertaining posts/videos!

Erm, how is this different from any other game?

You 4-gated iNcontrol and put it in a replay pack .___________.

In any case, Idra engaged you at the only two chokes near his base, why he would do that, I don't know.

the classic example how every zerg rage in zvp 4gate >_>

if you look at it from the pov of idra, how the hell is he gonna react to your build (you denied all his scouting possibilities, and you go whatever you want after the 1gate1core)? All he can do is make a blind guess ie do a coin flip. admittedly the engagement was bad but overall, sadly, like idra said, this is game is just retarded (specifically at the situation).

i mean, your timing and everything isnt even that tight (your 2nd and 3rd round warp-in timing are not sharp at all), so i really have no idea what makes you so happy about the win against the mechanically perfect Idra.

desrow, i watch your stream sometimes and kinda like it but now i may changed my mind. i mean, posting a blog like this is really not cool any toss with that strat slaughter any zerg on xelnaga anyway.

This is a classic example of Idra fanboyism allowing someone to overlook so many obvious flaws in Idra's play: hmm I scouted 3 chronos being used on the warpgate tech, well better not worry about sending in an overlord to see if he's 4-gating (the most common build with so many chronos on the core), well I saw a nice little scouting probe walk to the left side of the map no need to check for proxy pylons...

I believe the mechanical perfection to which you attribute to Idra would have helped him recognize such an obvious attack.

So what form of scouting did Desrow actually prevent that made this impossible for Idra? he saw all he needed with his initial drone/ scouting the front with lings, granted Desrow was ready to stop any overlord scout for a bit but he backed off after a few seconds, do you really think 2 sentries can kill an overlord before it is able to move 2 pixels over? I find it hard to believe this was in any way a coinflip.

Desrow go spend more effort in getting better than bragging, it doesn't matter how much attention you get, how many practice game you manage to take off your practice partners that you post, at the end of the day your tournament results is what determines how good you are. Before you win anything you are like the rest of us, a piece of trash compare to the likes of idra.
