Idra isn't some random TLer but a legitimate Korean progamer, (though he has yet to proove this with his games..) and thus being discussed positively/negatively is perfectly acceptable. Especially on the internet.. However, you, idra and others know each other irl and he's a regular member here so I found the post a tad too offending as a friend. An eye to eye, some might say but you are a lot more mature than him and your words were quite insulting from third person's pespective. And I fully agree that the guy needs to learn some manner and respect. More so than this however, needs to grow up mentally and learn to accept defeats and see where one's mistakes are so he can improve further. Furthermore, you remind me a lot of my old highschool matey whom had similar characteristics as you. If you ever find yourself down in sheepland for whatever reasons, I would very much like to treat you some cheap liquor :D
I've met him a couple times IRL. That doesn't mean we are friends. Though, I like IdrA despite his unwarranted arrogance in this situation. Cyber-asshole online cute lil quiet CJ shirt sporting nerdling irl, gotta love it. I hate literally no one except people with malicious intent.
If he was my friend he wouldn't be trying to be a pro-gamer anymore, LOL.
I mean shit look at my Foreigners Suck episodes on Artosis. The kid took a huge long dump in the toilet bathroom in the VIP section making the manager mad at me the first time we really went out together. What did this accomplish? It made our friendship grow. Mad respect for that seriously. U should hear that guy ranting about imbalance IRL it's literally the funniest thing ever.

rekrul the people on this site don't remember the artosis of old, they only know him as the castor/community contributor. He has a very good sense of PR.
Be kind he keeps his temper and such away from his 'work' or the community ... no reason to put him on blast .... he doesn't make us read drievel

Thats the problem. He has the potential to be the #1 comedian the broodwar community has ever known. Make it happen artosis, I know you have it in you.
One of Tasteless's pasttimes is to invite Artosis over to his house, watch him play ICCUP, and just laugh for hours straight at the shit he says.

People giving Idra strategy advice and not understanding a word he's saying is getting kind of annoying...
Idra's point is that lurker openings are a coin flip, Zerg can either allin or power, if he allins and Terran's prepared with 3 bunkers, he's going to win, if he isn't, he's going to lose. If Zerg powers and Terran's wasted money on bunkers, Zerg's going to win, if Terran hasn't wasted money, Zerg's going to lose. It's not a question of outwitting or outclassing someone, it's just a coin flip and it worked out for f91.
His argument for the RA game is that since 2 hatch muta's by far the best choice for Zerg on that map, he devised a build that would have great chances against 2 hatch. f91's 3 hatch would've put him at a considerable disadvantage if Idra had done his usual (and predictable as everyone has pointed out in this thread) builds. Since f91 had no way of knowing that Idra was playing so contrary to his usual style, his decision to go 3 hatch was bad.
Now, I'm not saying I agree with those arguments. I think the first is way too simplicistic and there are ways for a superior player to make his skill count and cut down on the luck factor. I also think it was a mistake to pick such an advanced build specifically devised to punish one particular build, when he didn't know how much credit he could give f91 for knowing the map in great detail.
But please, if you're going to respond to the strategy side of this, actually respond to what Idra's saying instead of throwing out random stuff like 'you got outwitted', 'he read you like a book' and whatever else you think sounds good.

I remember practicing with Artosis on Azalea (for some WCG prelim last year) and I tried to imitate a Nal_rA vs Frozean game (on Tau Cross, I think FPVod was available even back then) which is basically going 1gate reaver into proxy gate + DT tech. He deflected the reaver with ease (with the help of wraiths, as the build also benefits from simply allowing the T to scout you), then when the DTs walked into the undefended expo a minute later he was like "no fucking way!"  Artosis is lovely in TvP.
P.s.: I'm a part of "people" , and I do remember the Artosis of old!
P.p.s.: Now that I think of it I played Artosis in USA vs HUN too like 4 years ago - and won twice with the same gay DT drop. Now you shoulda seen how he exploded there
--
I'd leave the IdrA topic, it's beaten to death. I always thought he needs some grasp of reality, and I hope this may accomplish it - but who knows.

Lol, I remember one russian semi-pro (protoss) told a half-year ago that he played vs Idra 3 times in a row and each time used the 14 Nexus build. He won all 3 games and at the end of the third game Idra said "fucking 14 Nexus" and typed out.
LOL
Idra is so opinionated and ignorant

LOL
best thread ever
idra deserves that
and rofl at "should be said to a persons face"
after all idra said about f91 in his excuses, not in face.
but this is not only after f91 losses, after every loss he gives excuses bad mouthing his opponent.
lucky player, risky build player, allin player, etc.

if idra thinks f91 is lucky why not make a rematch and prove everyone wrong?
