Idra seems to provide a lot better now than he used to when you would interview him. It seems like it used to just be "this is imba, you suck" :p , and now he's providing a little analysis to back up his points, and actually gives credit to good players of other races as well as his own. At the same time, he's opinionated and I like hearing what he thinks about things because he's just going to say whatever he wants. Also, the stream idea is pretty awesome, definitely going to be watching that. | ||

" its more impressive for a zerg to get to the ro16 than a t/p to win " so stop using nestea as an example, he agrees with idea on the state of zerg apparently Do you have a link to the interview? I've heard other people quote it but I couldn't find it when I look for it. | ||

Thanks Artosis, you always provide great interviews. ok i listened again and he kind of does say that, though he is really vague about it... ("blah blah its possible to come back if ur macro is good enough blah blah.. but jinro is too solid") i'll just say that if that's what he thinks, then he's wrong. you can get lucky, and your opponent can do stupid shit or make huge mistakes. sure, it's extremely unlikely. but what does that matter? unlikely things happen all the time. he says it wasn't worth it to play it out like he's actually losing something substantial by playing it out. I think idra knows that it's still possible he could win, just incredibly unlikely. And so he doesn't bother, which is why I call him pessimistic. | ||

i completely agree with him in the unwinnable situation. the mental stress he would have went thru and frustration build up would have just adversely impacted his chances even more. great analysis. i am pleasantly surprised to hear that idra is going to do analysis on his games. i know he streams at times, but i would have never imagined that he would be willing to cast his own games and give in-depth feedback. very excited to see these streams. and as a zerg, i honestly feel so horrible for idra... everything he said towards the end of the interview regarding patch 1.2 is the same that myself and many other zergs feel. i hope he does not switch to protoss, because he is the last great zerg left in korea in my eyes. | ||

I recommend blizzard buff roaches with a very short range AA attack (say 2, and then keep 4 range vs. ground). That way they wouldn't be running around sniping air units, but you'd be able to defend your mineral lines from it much easier with good positioning. But maybe im wrong :O | ||

TBH Im sure he knows there is like a .001% chance Jinro might mess up, but I think he just left so he wouldn't get caught up in the game and could focus. If he had stuck around he would have just gotten rolled and it probably would have thrown him off for the next game. | ||

I haven't really been in that situation so I wouldn't know  | ||

I kinda laughed when IdrA was smiling when Artosis mentioned Clide. That was a good moment  | ||

I would like to compare it to basketball where in the play offs you have a series of 7 games played in a very short period of time. Even if you are down by 6 points with very little time on the clock, you'll still call those time outs and foul the opposing team if there is a SLIGHT chance you can win. Sure it'll drag out the game and sure you might feel less rested in the next game, but the small chance of a miracle is worth it. The best comebacks in sports didn't happen because the team or player gave up. They happened because they kept playing. Just because you're down 0-40 to Federer in a 4-5 set does not mean you cannot win that game or should give up on that set. You fight point after point even though you'll likely lose that game and set. Giving up that game and moving on to save stamina might cost you an epic comeback. That's just my philosophy on all things sports, so I would actually love to see Idra fighting harder. It's his choice, though. | ||

Also, can't disagree with Idra when he says that MVP is basically a beast right now and should tear through NesTea. | ||
