For everyone comparing IdrA and NesTea scenarios - you can tell that there's a difference. First NesTea already had his expansion and spine crawler starting and he needed zerglings and the queen to hold him off.

And NesTea still lost.

Zerg is an uphill battle. Try the race. It's tough.
Stick a fork in those buns.

funny how ppl still deny it. maps could change a lot, but right now terran is the best race. just look at the foreigner scene, where terran has been dominating hardcore for a long time. and imo that is because the foreign scene is ahead of the korean scene in terms of game understanding (aka abusing the imbalances). Idra and Jinro tearing it up in GSL kinda shows you that (not to diminish their individual skill). with some accommodation time i bet you ro32 gsl would be half korean / half foreigners if not more foreigners than koreans. asian culture was always more about copying a master and perfecting things through extreme dedication, not really about innovation, creativity and risktaking which western culture excels at. right now, I regard the foreign scene to be higher in game understanding than the asian scene and dont let my judgement be clouded by hype and price money. I know these are pretty strong statements, but like the gracken, I dont hold back with what I think and dont care about being flamed or regarded silly.


have you ever heard of the term orientalism?

cry me a river idra, mappool isn't everything.

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.


well on the GSL semis
+ Show Spoiler +

Nestea manage to 'hold' the bunker rush but a couple of minutes later mvp just come back with a much bigger force and roflstomped him


so yeah, IdrA's right

idra needs a coach to help him change his mindset.
or, if he has a coach, then his coach is worst coach ever.
All what KT currently needs is a Zerg and a second Terran

The day a terran knows how it feels to loose a game while you are 3 bases ahead and with a 400 supply army with support and tier 3 units involved in the battle, I'll listen about how the game is "balanced".
Don't work hard. You die at the end anyway, dummy.

Thanks, I really enjoyed that. Due to mega slow internet I rarely watch youtube links but I'm glad I watched this one. It's always nice to form ones own opinions, and the mental picture I had of Idra from the forums was far different from the one I have after watching the interview.

He seems sharp and articulate. I am also a big fan of people who speak their minds, even if it is not popular. It seems like he is a bit of a marmite player, people either love him or hate him - no middle road!

Not that I can watch it, but the planned streaming and analysis seems like a great idea.

Wouldn't be IdrA without at least one "Zerg isn't very good" statement.

Good interview though.
Isn't it ironic and selfish to say that God made man in his image, when God was made in man's image?
