Lol Arotsis just had to plug his boy Clide in there. Great interview agreed mostly with what Idra said, except I think Foxer is the best TvZ Terran out there

How? Rain has looked awful in the games that have gone into the mid/late game. Hongun is the same, he just cheeses and looks to win early. I wish Fruitdealer would have used that same build order of getting a second hatch in his base when he was blocked in by pylons, rather than the all-ins. He could have definitely taken another GSL and would have destroyed Rain after seeing how well he stuffed the scv all-in from bitbybitprime.

Honestly I don't see how Hongun cheesed vs Fruitdealer? Wasn't Hongun the guy doing the FE's and Fruitdealer the one cheesing? I'm confused if we even watched the same game....

Hilarious interview part at 12 min mark where Idra has the authority to talk down several "S Class" players :D gona go watch just that part again for the laughs.

"All-ins will continue to be [powerful], it's not like Starcraft 1"


That's pretty depressing. Hopefully Idra's wrong.

Idra doesn't think MarineKing is very good. Its mainly because he values macro way above micro. But I think Foxers TvZ is the best currently. His marine micro is just absurd. However vs other races i'm not to sure because micro isn't as necessary in the other matchups

Incontrol mentioned that idra was thinking about abadoning sc2 progaming before gsl3... thoughts about going to pro poker or some such. I wonder if idra still has his heart in this game and has got the will to improve and succeed or if he is simply doing the motions.

You mean the dark templar rush or the voidray rush? Did those two matches not exist? What Hongun did was force Fruitdealer to all-in by blocking him in with pylons and fast expanding himself. I don't know if I consider that cheese or not, but it's ridiculously cheap and I am glad they are "supposedly" taking out the ability to do it in the next patch. Do I think it was wrong of Hongun to do it? No, it gave him the best chance to win and for this much money I'd do the same against a superior player, especially in the macro game. Hongun has been doing cheese and early strategies in basically all his games in the GSL and in games that go into the late game he's not that great of a player.

It's almost impossible to recover from that as Zerg if the protoss knows what he is doing. He's just going to push you with a ton of warp gate units and you won't have the economy to keep up with the amount of units he is warping in. It's basically a risk either way, no matter what Fruitdealer did he'd either be taking a risk in trying to macro up or all-in, both were 50/50. The only reason it failed in the first match was because Hongun put his stargates in an awful place and his voidray pressure was stuffed, allowing Fruitdealer to have enough time to macro up and build up the exact counter to his warp gate units.

Awesome interview, thanks Artosis! I love hearing IdrA's opinions on the games, and I'm EXTREMELY happy that he's started streaming/coaching. He really seemed fair when discussing the cheese/all-in builds, not as angry as I've seen a lot of people be in the threads. Can't wait to see him in the code-S GSL :D

oh, and that Clide comment had me cracking up lol
If the quarter was in your right hand, that would've been micro

Don't change Artosis. Even if people keep telling you "Eye-dra" is wrong for what now, 4+ years?

Good Interview, Artosis seems to make everyone around him sick!

I love how fast he named the people who didn't deserve code S, so funny. I was hoping he would go over who he thought would belong in code S who are currently in code A. I'm assuming all he'd say is Ret but maybe he'd have a few dark horses.


Code S Is new, Kind of like how GSL season 1 was where there were A LOT of people who shouldn't of made it. GSL Season 3 is kind fo like that but i think its getting better.
