I'm definitely looking forward to this improved stream! I'm not always a fan of how IdrA acts, but I've learned a lot from his games and analysis already

I'm honestly surprised that with the way he's been talking that he's not switching protoss right now. If he does, that is going to blow.

idra cracks me up man. 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

Can't really disagree with anything Idra says about zerg, he's got good experience and arguments to back up his claims.

Terran and Protoss have caught up on the proper ways to combat zergs and there will be an era now where zerg will struggle very hard. If it'll be patched or if zergs find a different way to play remains to be seen.

I do feel like maps and not the races themselves are more important in the balance discussion at this point. The game itself is pretty damn balanced.

Terrans hadn't figured out these abusive builds back then

I'm pretty sure Idra would have a problem with your paraphrases.

Nice interview.

Now talking about idra, I think he's just too much of a whiner. This constant whining of zerg being too weak is not going to change anything, if he keeps thinking his race is weak then that's not going to make him win more.

As a master league random/protoss player I admit say that it can be frustrating to play zerg on small maps, but the main reason so few protoss and zerg make it to Ro8 or Ro4 is because they are underrepresented. When the game was very new terran was a lot stronger, you can say op, because people did not know how to deal with them. Everyone picked terran and now we have an overdose of GSL terran players. The balance changes that were made help to even things out, and people found out new strategies. The game is a lot more fair than before and it's going in the right direction. If only guys like idra (and everyone else who whines about balance) stops whining and starts thinking of new ways to win then the situation might improve more.

Look at fruitdealer and nestea, look at mc. They did things differently and won GSL's.


But Fruitdealer and Nestea are whining a lot too. And you are dead wrong if you think a player of the caliber of IdrA doesnt think of "new ways" to win. I have a big problem with no-names whining and not trying to improve their plays, but progamers of that caliber know what they are talking about, you shouldnt question them this much.

maps, game evolves,people get better. i play both z and t at master level and i pretty much dont ladder as Z anymore since its so frustrating (and no shakuras+lt bug didnt help either). mostly play z now only in pickup games vs T since my TvT sucks after not playing it for months. it might not be as bad as he says but Z is in a very suboptimal state compared to T/P and half of the mappool is a uphill battle from the start.



great interview, was waiting for that since the fa/idra match ! thanks artosis ~

Thanks for the interview, i really loved it, its good to hear some insight from IdrA. I also find it hilarious that random people from TL are trying to argue with what he said after he just made it to ro8 in the hardest tournament in the world. Show some respect.

Not trying to be rude, but it seems like Idra really hates playing zerg. He should switch races instead of playing the whole "I'm a level 80 Paladin, but I have no dps. Paladins have no comeback ability. They're terrible in pvp. But starting a new character would be retarded. I've already invested so much time in this Paladin so I'll just continue to play it."

Idra's realistic view is pretty solid.I have to copy pasta what Idra said tho note that hydras are pretty abysmal and protoss air was solid and got buffed and Terrans started to figure out some decent builds.

How tired is IdrA in this interview? The look on his face is kinda hilarious. Good job though.
THIS was your PLAN?

should have asked if he's thinking about changing race !


IdrA answered this question times and times again. Although he thinks Zerg is weak atm, he will not change races (although he is playing toss a bit) because he invested so much time into Zerg.
