Because although ret is super awesome, IdrA would still take him easily in a series of games.


That makes no sense after watching that game, even though it was just one game, it was close, and ret winning wasn't attributable to one big event in the match. If ret and IdrA played a series it would definately be close. Besides, as far as I can remember all their previous encounters were really close, with many of those occuring not more than a few months ago.

If idra is serious in what he says, I'm not so sure he's progamer level metagame-wise.

explain

I think it's pretty irrelevant, besides, blaming your loss on something out of your control is an effective coping strategy, even if it makes you look stupid.

Exactly. Say you want to 14 CC on a map, which is a legitimate strategy, but your opponent 4 pools you. Its out of your hands - the loss was inevitable with your strategy and his. Not a bad excuse I would say.

Well, I'm not sure this falls under "metagame" or basic knowledge about starcraft, but what ret did was play a slightly greedy style while making sure he doesn't die, buying time till he gets the "dooms day" units.

He applied economic pressure by taking the 4th gas.
Before that, he applied economic pressure by cleverly faking mutas.(ret waited for Spire to finish only to make 6 hydras all at once and morph them into lurkers soon.)
Idra wasted some minerals on turrets.

This wasn't really Idra's mistake coz it all looked like standard 3hatch muta, but you have to credit Ret for this move.


Real pressure with units can kill you immediately, economic pressure kills you later.

By saying "you did nothing" it seems like idra is categorizing this economic approach as lesser or something which would be an extremely ignorant thing to do, and it's why I said what you quoted.

His attempts of shutting down the left side of the map were miserable.
He knew Ret was gonna have Ultra's soon and it seemed to me that he was planning on out muscling the ultras, which, again, is not your standard #1 pick for fighting the ultralisks strategy.

I think a much smarter thing to do would have been to make like 3 dropships, DMatrix them if needed and start dropping like a madman, coz you could say ret was spread thin before ultras.
His only hope was to cut Ret's resources and he failed by being too passive/choosing wrong battles.
One might say Idra wasn't passive, but when you look at the battles he chose, those were wrong places to focus your attention on.

He seemed undetermined in the game, walking from left side to the right without really having a plan on what to do. Was he underestimating ret, and expecting he would make a mistake while only having to worry not to die by casting a few swarms every now and then?

+ a huge /IMO tag, I'm a C level player.
(I promise it's coz of my mechanics :p)

Same problem with VLC, no sound at all...
I just downloaded the latest version of K-Lite Full Pack (5.5.1), but still no sound.

EDIT: Oh, the megaupload link worked fine for me.
