Nothing about Zerg late game is particularly powerful unless you make it through early and mid game in decent shape, and quite frankly, Zerg doesn't have the tools to make it that far against a good opponent. The only late game power Zerg has is bad opponents who let them stockpile thousands of resources. And that kind of view just annoys me. "If my opponent can't hurt me, it's fine that I just auto win the game". Well I can understand that this might be annoying on such maps as SoW, close position meta/LT etc where your opponent has such an easy time getting into your face, but on a map such as meta cross position it's the same deal for terrans atleast. But I mean that's all fine and good, the zerg is just better, because he can win in macro game and has nothing to do with the fact that zerg is just better in macro games. I mean I'm not going to argue that maps are in a bit of a silly state(I'd say only 2 are balanced for TvZ atleast, SP & XC) but if it reaches the lategame, suddenly the zerg is just a better player and should have 90% win chance, even if the terran took no noticeable losses, macroed well, while still forcing some units even if he didn't crush the zerg's econ. | ||

From a zerg's perspective i have to agree with the things idra said. Im not a fanboi of any kind but the people that disagree with him are just ignoring the facts. Idra is even backed up by nestea himself. No its not the maps that are wrong! Its Zerg! | ||

 I hope Jinro makes it through and I hope NesTea makes it through. Glad to see IdrA improving his public image. And smile more. | ||

When zerg was buffed 2 patches ago he said he cant see losing a game to terran and that he wont have trouble with any protoss. 1 patch comes through where they actually nerf terran a little bit and now suddenly out of no where zerg cant win any game ever He said he wouldn't lose for about a month, which was pretty accurate. | ||

I think idra makes for a great interviewee. He speaks fast and delivers his thoughts very fluidly. He's honest and has no fear to give his true opinions. | ||

Idra's opinion on Zerg lategame: and the idea that z is somehow the strongest late game race is fuckin absurd. hive units are nearly useless and horribly cost inefficient unless broodlords catch them off guard. ya, you can insta remax if you're allowed to get a giant econ, but remaxing on lair units vs collosus or tank based armies hardly matters when you can trade 200/200 for a tenth of their army. Idra is not "ignoring" zerg's lategame advantage. Idra does not believe zerg has a lategame advantage. The Protoss and Terran 200/200 armies are just too untouchable. | ||

Copycat ^^ And why in the hell would we want to hear the insight from easily one of the best Zerg players in the world?! | ||

Zerg dont win easy late game when you play against a macro toss/terran, no idea where you get that info from... do you even watch high level games? Great interview! | ||
