No, and saying that is just silly. | ||

I mean, it's not like he created some topic here on TL about how imba protoss is -- he's not going out of his way to complain. The interviewer asked him an honest question, he gave an honest answer. You guys that are complaining about IdrA complaining are much, much more annoying. You apparentely don't know who IdrA is. This shit has been going on for years well before the release of Star2. It's just now that new people to the scene who become fanboys think he's a top Zerg and that his word is law which is much, much more annoying. | ||

Christ. I need to find that Rekrul rant. "This is what MAKES idra, without his infamous personality towards this game, he would probably be just another average pro-gamer." It's a ridiculous opinion. Back in March/April ,alright we could be more sympathetic. Since then though... his mechanics aren't what the hype makes them and his mentality with Toss is definitely off-color. What's terrible about this is that Idra's words justify another round of innane qq by any zerg not mutarolling people. We've finally seen some revolution in Toss play along with needed map changes to deal with the free third and he's complaining. Well we'll see won't we. 6 months I figure to my displeasure that I'll be vindicated again. | ||

Get over yourself. | ||

Win or lose I don't find it very stimulating and I hope some changes are brought to it in HoTS. | ||

Zergs advantage lies from hiding behind a billion spines while either going for the base trade or the masssssss brood infestor army. Meanwhile Protoss advantage comes from the fact that they have so so so many different "Surprise! This is what I did and you werent 100% ready so now you die" kinda builds. It's no wonder that none of the sides like the mu that much right now. | ||

After poor results in foreign tournies over the last few months, he decides to go to Korea and try to compete with a much harder pro scene. Well.. good luck with that, bro. I'm sure it'll work out.. | ||

I think what IdrA really means is 'my style of passive macro doesn't beat protoss right now.' A lot of these Zerg wins vs Protoss are very coin flippy and you can see that reflected in this post with a lot of Z close to 50/50 vs. toss. A lot of ZvP comes down to gimmicky all-in coin flips, not all certainly. I personally feel Z has a slight edge right now because of the muta situation and the threat of an all-in.. but needless to say it's not a super stable match-up. It requires a lot of gimmicky shit at times and that's something IdrA doesn't like to do. A win ratio close to 50% does not indicate coinflip whatsoever. Are you considering things from the Toss point of view? are they never supposed to win? | ||

No, and saying that is just silly. Just noise. appeal to authority is a logical fallacy not to mention ALL pro gamers complain about their race just shows how bias they are. Math and statistics have no bias and working from there the ZvP seems pretty balanced right now. TvP and TvZ are still Terran favored. | ||

I want to be wrong right? :p On a more serious note, even if the results dont match if the games are good I'll take that as disproving my hypothesis. | ||

Good point actually. Idra´s been average in the foreign scene for a while ofcourse he isnt going todo well in korea vs better opponents. | ||
