DRG, Nestea and the like may hint at complaining, but they never come out with such strong statements as "Zerg doesn't beat toss" or "Zerg isn't supposed to win against protoss," something which Idra does quite regularly. | ||

Besides that video is entertainment value and not even half the picture. You're forgetting interviews, in fact in a recent one Idra blatantly admitted he sucked in his Code S games. I actually didnt forget it, i didnt see it. Could you link it, or at least tell me which one i have to read/look? | ||

It was coL.Trimaster at MLG Raleigh I believe. It might have been Orlando....one of the two I was at anyway. Pretty sure it was Raleigh though. | ||

In Korea it is very rude to complain like that. It's a bit different. He has to kind of skirt around the issue like that because he doesn't want to seem like a rude person. | ||

Why is IdrA saying it straight up instead of hinting around it and strongly suggesting it inherently worse? | ||

I think I've figured out the algorithm (the Idralgorithm if you will) Toss is winning a lot vs zerg: "Toss players are all rapists irl and I'm going to put in a gun in my mouth" Toss is even with zerg: "Zerg never beats toss unless the player is just way better" Zerg is winning a lot against zerg: "The matchup's okay but toss units are still too powerful" | ||

I watched TLOs stream now for the last week at least 3 hours a day, he actually asked on stream why everyone is trying to all-in him - and he was thankful, because you learn to cope with earlygame crap by dealing with it. If you cant deal with shenanigans (is that btw a real word or did Day9 invent that? Honestly curious), hm.. Dunno. Other than that, he rages in tournaments as well. May it be ragequits, premature quits or open rage after a game. "I aim solely for reliability and consistency. I despise players that flip coins and try to get wins that they don't really deserve." If he rages... so what? Djokovic rages and routinely destroys his equipment in tournaments, yet he's the #1 tennis player in the world. | ||

Yeah man, before it was just IdrA being IdrA but right now at this instant after years of saying things like this from BW to SC2 without showing signs of stopping he has crossed the line. Seriously I don't know how people can get worked up or act like its big news when IdrA claims that the race he doesn't play is overpowered, he has been doing that since the dawn of time and will do it until the end of the universe. | ||

In fact, Idra probably would have beat the people stephano beat with as much ease (or close to it). It doesn't change the fact it cannot be used in an argument on something like ZvP balance. | ||

I like where you showed recent interviews from every zerg pro player to back up your completely made up claim. Nicely done. Not to mention the fact players of every race whine no matter what because these immature kids don't want to take responsibility for their own failures or learn from them and rather just blame the game. Idra's been saying the same shit forever, and zergs certainly haven't failed to post tourney wins despite his nonsense, and zergs are still posting results. The last bigish tournament was IEM Kiev and zerg took 2nd and 4th, beating protoss along the way. Match ups swing back and forth slightly favoring one or the other all the time, that's how a game like this works, blanket black and white ridiculous statements like "zergs don't beat protoss" from dramaqueens like Idra are just retarded. I mean what do these kids expect? It's not like it'd be smart of blizzard to instantly patch a game with huge changes anytime one matchup swings like 5% in the favor of one race or the other (god forbid!), whining does absolutely nothing but get you more e-fame with the balance whiner kiddies on TL. | ||

No idea where 78% winrate comes from.doesn't nestea have something like 78% winrates in ZvP? maybe he should take some lesson | ||

Nothing wrong with that, and a bit of forthright opinion every so often does no harm. | ||

If you watched the GSL group selections you would know. I think he assumed that everyone is keeping up with the scene, so he felt he didn't need to post evidence. I don't think that's an unfair assumption to make. People who mindlessly post nonsense without even being up to date with the current situation are in your words, "just retarded." | ||

He is probably training the hardest out of every foreigner in the world atm, and he is saying that toss is hard to beat, something that pretty much EVERY SINGLE ZERG you ask will say too. That doesn't mean he is whining, that doesn't mean hes bad, it just means that he doesn't think he will win because he doesn't understand ZvP. You might say "look at stephano and coca, they have no problem with toss!". They are outliers. Are you actually going to call IdrA a bitch because he has the same opinion as the vast majority but is only more vocal? yes, because he should say something along the lines of "the matchup is favored toward protoss but i will try my hardest" instead of "protoss imba. rage quit." | ||
