I think he executed his strategy well, although there were times when it seemed to me he was more conservative than he needed to be, even vs the god of war. | ||

I think he executed his strategy well, although there were times when it seemed to me he was more conservative than he needed to be, even vs the god of war. agreed, i think the reason he lost the fight you mentioned is due to him double stimming within a 2 second timeframe, resulting in all those marines dying to the lurker when they shouldn't have | ||

He let 6-7 (if that) injured mutas stop his 12-16 mm army from just marching all over julys third in the window before lurkers. He had both vessels and turrets, there was no need to stay back and defend. When he finally did march july had full drone saturation on three bases pumping pure units from many hatches, 5 lurkers already done morphing. No way idra was going to break that with a one base ecco. | ||

He was too slow in moving out. He also seemed to have too few units and too slow of an expansion. That being said, It took JulyZerg 14 minutes to beat an E class terran and he didn't exactly run over IdrA in any fight but the last. Idra definitely got outclassed in every fight. Did you see how bad his marine splits were? You could chalk it up to nervousness if you want, but he still didn't perform. | ||

Yeah such a boring player wouldnt have done a 1 base build while everyone is doing the same double cc builds. What are you talking about? His marine splits were pretty good. He did lose to a better player but he played really well. | ||

Of course you don't have to wish that but still, give him a thumbs up for his improvement at least. | ||

The only thing i can note is that Idra could have moved out abit faster with his first group. | ||

Every split in the video is bad, I don't even need to point a particular one out. He loses EVERY battle, and some of them he should have won. | ||

He didnt have his nat up so he knows he couldnt remacro a hanbang again and he was running out of time before July's defilers were out. He got a good positioning more reason to stay and fight. If he retreated he would have lost a lot more time, would have lost his tanks and since it was a bridge a lot of his units would get clumped and it would be hard to retreat anyways. Im not the best player but i think his build's goal was to kill July's third gas while he's transitioning to lurkers. His fast irradiates forced July to switch tech. If he moved out faster there would have been a timing where July's eggs were still morphing i think. He was in a terrible position after July blocked it. | ||

Idra could have gone fast wraiths and at least gotten some harass done, but instead he just decided to keep doing a strat he knew would fail. I don't call that improvement, I call that cracking under the pressure and under-performing. His build had nothing to do with purposely getting 2 bases behind so that he could kill one third... The fact that you think that is hilarious. Alright, lets see you play JulyZerg. Hell, lets see you play IdrA. Don't talk shit unless you have the knowledge to back it up. | ||

Oh come on, if you want to argue his points then do it. Don't just say "I'm not listening to your analysis because you wouldn't stand a chance against top players". So what? A lot of people who don't stand a chance against chess grandmasters can still spot blunders in their games. I'm not saying I agree with Chef's criticisms of idra's play (I haven't watched the game properly). But I don't know why people are so stuck up on "if I can beat you then obviously my game knowledge is better and my words are always more right than yours". | ||

His criticisms don't make sense and are unfounded. We can make criticisms of areas of BW we understand at our level, such as IdrA's game vs. Neel... IdrA's armory placement was dumb as shit and costed him the game, simple as that. But here is something more complex and I honestly doubt Chef has anything close a proper understanding of why IdrA lost. | ||

The game kinda made me think that perhaps idra was afraid of july's mutalisks. I have never seen someone get vessals so fast and although his plan failed, he succeeded in totally blocking july's muta harass. You can see that his play isn't as refined as some of the other Korean progamers, but I think he played pretty well. Also, it's amusing how the commentators were joking about how idra might do some super eco build, because of how foreigners focus much more on macro than micro, but then idra went and did a super low eco build. | ||

Instead he should have gone for a just as obvious cheese which costs a hell of a lot more and would delay his vessel, despite the fact that July was making 1-2 hydras. What? | ||

July scouted very early and expanded extremely quickly 2 things he would not have done against a player he thought was on even calibur with him, but he looked down on idra and expecting early cheese things went downhill. That scout would not have came if july thought he was evenly matched, julys perception of idra won him the game. The vultures were a dumb idea after july scouted him (btw insanely nice building placement by july i really liked it), he had VESSELS and stayed in his base fearing like what 6 mutas no reason to not push out and punish july for that very fast 3rd base, which in turn is what july was counting on him not to do. July banked on Idra's inexperience and he made the right call. Not to detract from Idra i think he has great potential but this was not a close game. July's reaction was very much how july usually reacts to fast gas, no matter the opponent. I'm quite sure July's expansion timing was a result of him expecting a mech build (note how he throughs down the hatch _before_ scouting marines.) The reason he wasn't punished for the mistake was of course that idra allowed himself to become contained by 6-7 mutas for just a tad bit too long. And I don't know wtf you are rambling on about when it comes to the scout timing, july scouts that early very often on two player maps. His game vs mind in the first group stage the OSL he won is a fairly good example of how his build this game by no means was a result of "looking down" on idra. Idras build was good, just a bit better control and a bit more confidence and things might have turned out differently. | ||

The thing is it didn't have to be JulyZerg. The game was lost because of a strategical error that most zergs could have capitalized on. Idra was really far behind the moment that drone scout got into his base. | ||

You can dance around hydras with wraiths... You can't dance around a sunk with a vulture that July knew was coming. Why do people think this build is so innovative lol... It's as old as StarCraft. The only innovative part about it was lifting the factory from his main to prevent a ling scout or whatever from seeing a vult go out the front end... But that cuteness didn't even matter, because July had already scouted the fast gas. The 150 minerals could have gone into a faster expo, or a few more marines. Not two vultures that were destined to do nothing. | ||

Idra was really far behind the moment that drone scout got into his base. No. July went 2 hatch muta with vulture proof building placement. July would have went 2 hatch muta with vulture proof building placement if he scouted a wallin as well. If anything the scout was to check for 8 rax. Do you seriously think july would have thought "Yea well, he must be building a cc behind that wall" and then continued pumping drones? No of course not, the scout didnt matter that much. The fact though that you are seriously advocating wraith tech vs 2 hatch lair > den > hydra > spire suggests rather limited tvz experience. Idra was in great shape right until he decided to not attack with a bunch of mm vs 7 muta and 4 hydra. | ||

And regarding his marine splits, they were fine, in almost perfect arcs around the lurkers. What a spread will do is minimize the chance that lurkers will hit multiple marines at once, not completely eliminate the possibility. God damn I hate ignorant blind haters like you. | ||
