What I realy like about Idra (actualy I'm a big fan) is that he says what he thinks. And regarding his frustration and rage, he's realy realy objective in his interviews. (even if I think, that Nestea is more than a good player)


I remember that he said that Nestea was not good at the time, he really changed his opinion which is a really good thing (I didnt think he would). I wonder what he thinks about Morrow now? (He really criticised his race change)

It's pathetic how hard Idra wants Nestea to lose just so he can complain more about Zerg. I was planning cheering for MVP, but now I'd really love to see Nestea taking the whole tournament



Where did you get he wants him to lose? Idra thinks Nestea WILL lose. He does NOT want him to lose.
I have a dream, that some day I wouldn't see any imba comments in GSL threads.

Anyone else find it suspicious the way the interview was cut off so suddenly? And it was right when IdrA started talking about being nice to Europeans.....

incontrol must be responsible for this, it's the only explanation.

Great interview anyway. Wish IdrA the best of luck next season. Can't wait for his stream to start up again.

You are missing his whole point and being stupid. IdrA doesnt want Nestea to lose, he believe Nestea will lose, which is the most reasonnable thing to believe given that MVP is a complete TvZ beast. I can't see Nestea winning at all.

No. He wants him to lose. He says that he will lose, but you can see that he wants it. He wants all the zerg to be bad, so he can than have excuse for his own failings. I've met people like that and honestly I can't stand them.

But that's just my opinion, I might very well be wrong.

Fantastic interview. I personally love IdrA's no-bullshit approach to ZvX analysis. It might be slightly biased but he has so much experience, intelligence and time to dedicate to this game, it would be foolish to dismiss him as a whiner, especially when guys like NesTea are also expressing their concern over Z's matchups.

The proof will be found next season I suppose.

Thanks for a great interview Artosis. Great questions, great answers, great format.

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


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

I was actually more fair to idra than what he originally said in making him sound like something other than a biased little kid. Someone can pull up an interview but it was the roach range patch and just before he went to MLG.

I'll accept that maybe terrans hadn't figured it out or whatever, but im inclined to believe maybe zerg has to figure things out like terran did for a month or so before the pendulum swings back.

The truth is as a "pro gamer" im guessing you kind of rely on ... oh i dont know... making money or winning to maintain a career. If everything is so broken, he should switch races and just win it all everytime because idras soooooooooooo effing good. I mean seriously, does anyone think this guy is good enough to win a GSL? On ANY race? Idras right that he was lucky to win a couple of those games or that his opponents made poor decisions... but to me that indicates that they are just flat out better players... its got nothing to do with race. .. Maps maybe... but those havent changed either.


k well i decided to look it up to clarify things

both interviews

http://www.blgaming.com/content/mlg-dc-coverage-interview-idra

Hafu: What are your thoughts on the new patch? Does it affect your gameplay?

Idra: The new patch is awesome, I don't think I'm going to lose to Terran for a month. It helps a lot versus protoss as the extra road range, it kind of nullifies a lot of builds that Protoss use. It's just a great patch in general for Zerg, I'm very very happy about it.

http://www.myegamer.com/posts/7d7b70b5ce80d83cf6818ce62b859223

MLG: Are you pleased with the way the patch is working out so far?

Idra: Yes, definitely. I believe ZvT is pretty close to balanced right now—it's actually going to seem Z>T for a while as bad Terrans disappear and the remaining ones have to adapt to a new style of play. ZvP is certainly much better, but I'm waiting for the matchup to settle into the new patch before making any real comment on it. My only real complaint is that they still haven't addressed ZvZ, but the matchup is slowly making progress on its own so patching might be unnecessary in the long run.
