The metagame in top Korean play might actually just be in favour of Protoss right now IdrA's comment could just be a reflection of that. Idra always complains about ZvP. When Korean ZvP was universally considered imbalanced during spring-summer 2011 he still believed it was P-favored. | ||

Some of those with negative comments are Idra fans like myself. Although I often find it hard to be his fan when all he quits games he has won or complains about balance instead of saying how he is trying to get over the hurdle. He has the attitude of a loser and until that is fixed I doubt he will ever reach his full potential. He is better than he used to be but he still seems to have some distance to go. | ||

IdrA: Well, Zerg doesn’t really beat Protoss right now. People will accuse me of bitching, but that was the general opinion expressed by all the pros in the group selection as well. The matchup is absolutely awful, but I hope I’ll win anyway. IdrA should seriously stop saying that Z can't beat protoss because it is obviously untrue and he loses credibility everytime he says that. Maybe he hasn't heard of players such as Stephano, DRG, Leenock... He has three solutions: 1) Improve, 2) Stop whining 3) Stop playing. IdrA is a good player and he could be much better but his attitude is getting boring. | ||

So people should just accept that ZvP is "awful" and Zerg "doesn't beat Protoss", because they aren't in KR GM? Both DRG and Nestea expressed sentiments that ZvP is hard at the moment, but neither of them are as black and white as Idra always is. Until Idra can break through this mental block he will never beat Koreans consistently. | ||

Uhh I don't think it works that way :/ They already gave them a roof over their heads, cella's time is spent coaching the players of his own team. Any time spent not doing that, would be a waste. Just because they are friendly, doesn't mean this isn't a competition haha | ||

Some sort of coaching help... it sucks that they can be over there in a Korean environment and still not get everything the Korean players get. | ||

The problem with this is that through thick and thin, ups and downs, highs and lows of the ZvP match-up idra has stood firm on Protoss being the absolute worst thing to happen to Zerg. This is no new take on the current game, hating on Protoss is idras thing and I'v seen him hate on them since the start of beta, so forgive some fans for beginning to grow a bit tired of it. The fact of the matter is this, PvZ has been a matchup that has swung either way (mainly in Zergs favour statistically), there's no telling which way the meta game will swing it next, and whichever way it does happen to swing it is nothing to do with either races ultimate power, it just happens to be how the game is according to current play styles and map pools. | ||

So what you're saying is at the time of the interview Idra's comment has some validity. Got it. | ||

I think Idra is most likely whining about the fact that protoss has a unit that changes the map design in their favor regardless of what map he choses to play. When the zergs strongest strategy is to try and force a base race scenario with mutas then the army to army balance is clearly not where it needs to be. | ||
