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....
You mean the dark templar rush or the voidray rush?
It's funny as the DT rush only worked because FD was ridiculously greedy, by the time they were at his base the most advanced tech he had was still a spawning pool, without even having started on the lair. It's not like the DTs damaged him or slowed him down a bit, he got completely killed by 3-4 DTs. But I suppose it's only cheesy and unfair when it goes against the player you're rooting for. Perhaps players are supposed to act like gentlemen and ignore those glaring build order flaws instead of capitalizing on them for an advantage.
I'm no pro, but it really seems that Idra's air of superiority is really unwarranted. We have seen him choke in all three GSL's and frankly he may be able to outmacro opponents but he makes terrible decisions regarding unit composition and positioning. He also rarely uses support units like infestors, or cheeky plays like burrowed roaches or baneling drops.
It seems to me that his play is very one dimensional... but maybe I am wrong.
the place where the interview is shot looks like a bunker in afghanistan and they are next door to ousama benladen or something :D good interview tho u need a better mic tho artosis

You should watch his stream. Playing against HongUn now, just beat oGsHero. (:

Seems strange that Hongun would be laddering right before his semifinals match. You'd think he'd be training PvT only. Perhaps it's someone else playing on his account to hide his last 30 games.
Wow, I'm really starting to like Idra. During beta he was just kind of annoying (def thought he was a great player), but now actually getting to hear him cast, on SotG, and interviews, seems like a pretty cool guy.

Definitely a possibility. (: Either that or HongUn is looking for a terran person to play and decided to 1-base it. Still, the games are fantastic, that one against Hero was reaaaaallyy insanely good. ^_^
Idra in interviews is so much Idra from games we see. He seems very well mannered. Awesome interview with a lot of contents. Thanks Artosis for doing this!
Nice interview IdrA. I still say that since you have down time, you should come play 2s with my on my stream You don't have to if you really don't want to, but I really like watching your zerg play and trying to learn from it. Thanks for the stream!
