Oh and to all Terrans out there. All you have to do against Zerg is to build bunkers at their ramp, and that will win you the game, idra approved. No, to be honest, I think Idra really needs to change his mindset. Going into a match with the feeling that "I'm gonna loose because of this shitty map" isn't the very best way to deal with that kind of situation. | ||

But if you are a top 10 zerg playing against top 10 terrans who play the game 10+ hrs a day surely you as a zerg player you are playing against terrans who are picking up on or developing and refining their strongest TvZ strats. Moreover, these are the terrans who are going to know best how to scout and counter the best ZvT strats. If all of the top zergs and top terrans are more or less equally motivated then at some point game imbalances even subtle ones will start to emerge and *may* dominate game outcomes. This is coming dangerously close to theorycraft, so I'll stop with one my postulate--assuming the game is not perfectly balanced and maps are not perfectly balanced then the availability of more dynamic builds (for one race), more options (i.e. viable builds), and even subtle differences in unit and building timing, costs and strength will gradually become more significant than the skill difference between players. This is assuming of course that skill difference between players narrow while these imbalances remain constant. Obviously this excludes the possibility that the game is in fact quite balanced but the appropriate builds for a race have not been discovered yet (chalk it up to difference in skill between players of different races then or just luck) In light of that I imagine it is possible for realism to be mistaken for optimism or pessimism (and vice versa). Regarding Idra, I don't think I've ever really watched his games and said to myself...there's a player that I can no longer learn from and I can point out a huge number of instances where I would have done something different and better. That to me is the most important criteria for deciding if a player is worth watching. Idra's complaints or confidence might affect how much you enjoy his interviews, but they don't detract so much from the game. It's not like his queens are sulking or his banelings are walking around with swagger. @artosis - Great interview. Next time throw in a random question at him like "James Dean or the Fonze?" | ||

ELO top 20 more z than p Korean ladder top 20 more z than p GSL's like this one z makes it further than p and they won 2, p one Terran pretty much dominates every stat but GSL wins for some reason but that will change this season and I think it's fair to say they are most powerful but the difference between p and z is nominal, both weaker but both with some success as well. | ||

Well, you haven't. Fruitdealer vs Boxer @ Blizzcon Showmatch last year, Game 2. Boxer gets two bunkers up, even forces the natural to cancel. If IdrA was playing he would have presumably GG'd @ 2 minutes 40 seconds real time into the game. I'm sure if I took the time to look harder I'd find more examples. I'm not saying that IdrA should play differently, it's none of my business. But to say that a position like that is 100% lost (which he didn't claim, you did) is just plain wrong. | ||

Tiny difference (not sure if IdrA would have changed either way) IdrA's last drone outside the base was killed, a reason FD went on to continue is he expanded to the gold with the drone from the cancelled hatch which he ninja'd out of BoxeR's way. | ||
