I think people are saying infestors because Idra definitely needs to transition faster. 20 mutas is enough to wreak havoc, 40 is 2000/2000 that could be used reinforcing the power of the ground army that he really needed in the Sjow series.

I don't want to say I know better. But I think Idra was heading for infestor brolords and he thought ling bane muta will gather enough advantage, since mutas aren't suppose to die, he would have excess gas to make the transition. The Gracken might have a little bit of stubborn nature... he needs back up plans or a smaller step transitions. I don't know where he's getting this muta over marine thing but he just need to learn closing out games he's won..

But all the EG guys seemed to have a bit of a trouble today... with the exception of Puma, who's still battling in open brackets. Maybe a bit harsh traveling? Maybe depression from puma smashing QQ

IdrA lost because of his, sad to say, macro. He really should've had more larvae saved up.

A tech switch to infestors and/or broodlords would've crushed that particular army of Sjow's, but IdrA had the means to kill it without them. He just didn't have enough larvae saved up to clean up the marines after the tanks fell.

I just had an idea in the shower to help IdrA win again. Okay here is the plan. I'll get some type of deadly cancer. I'll make myself confined to a wheelchair and shit. Then next MLG Dallas, I'll meet up with IdrA in an elevator. Tell him that I'm Whole and that I have a life expectancy of 3 days...when MLG ends. Then when we part ways while walking out the elevator, I'll roll around and ask IdrA, "IdrA can you do me a favor?"

"Sure man, what is it?"

"Please win." *cough*

Now if he doesn't win, I'll die unhappy and mentally scar IdrA for the rest of his life. If he does win,. I'll die smiling and make IdrA feel like a total badass...or maybe I'll even not die and make IdrA feel like god.

Yeah, it's not his decision-making that's worrisome. It's his mechanics slipping. He missed a lot of injects in game 2 and he had the infestation pit in time and gas/larva/supply to start pathogen glands and subsequently infestors, but just... didn't. Until he saw the push coming.

I won't lie "He missed a lot of injects" is a massive understatement.

edit: Oh, and if I mentally scar IdrA, he'll be determined to win future events in memory of me. So basically it is a win/win situation...but how do I get cancer first?

he didnt have queens at northern bases yet and the the nat and main one probably died during that push. also when the marines get to that point where they can cutoff your reinforcements, there is no way back. unless you have 5 ultras popping at a time

Idra didn't lose to Sjow for anything involving macro, strategy, or anything else. He lost for one reason: he engaged 40 marines with 30 mutalisks. Twice.

People criticizing his massing of mutalisks vs Marine/Tank do not understand the ZvT matchup. Idra literally only needed like 5-6 banelings to take out Sjow's army both times, and both times he had absolutely no reason to engage when he did. He should have just sacrificed the base Sjow was attacking both times because he was way ahead BOTH TIMES, and just engage with 6 Banelings and win the game because he wouldn't have lost a single muta that way.
