Like MrDudeMan said, had he made just 2 infestors in both games the series would have been decisively won by him. The control was otherwise pretty good imo. Just needs more macro and something that marines don't counter. This is pretty correct. Watching Idra v Boxer and Idra just generally against a lot of Terrans (Koreans it seems) Idra needs 6 banelings to connect. How many does Idra make? 6. If you watch for example against Boxer after holding off the blue flame perfectly he catches the marines coming in late. 2/ 3 baneling hits would of cleared that up how many does he make? 2 / 3. Idras not giving his opponent enough credit when it comes to either splitting marines or target firing the banes. I know he plays this cut line style of Zerg where 16 lings exactly will hold of this precise attack at this precise moment but the games been out for a year micros evolved people have got better. He can't be the 3 banes will defeat the push so i'm not going to spend any extra gas / minerals to make more Zerg he wants to be. I'd much rather he make 15 banes, waste 200 gas have only 3 banes connect defeat the push and have 12 banelings being useless than him dying to some stupid all in push because he's not giving marine splits and micro enough credit and then proceed to end up playing 200 gas behind. But Idra is Idra and a pro and he's been doing his own style for longer than I've been observing it so he'd obviously know a lot more about the situations than me but that's just my view on his ZvT lately. | ||

It is not the "lower bracket" its the main championship bracket. People go into the main championship bracket from open brackets and pool play. The worse you do in pool play, the more games you have to win in the main championship bracket. | ||

If he stopped at 20 mutas or so, got 4-5 infestors with a sizeable ling/bling force, Idra would have lolled at Sjow both games. No Terran can win against a Zerg that goes for a infestor/ling/muta/bling composition while sieging on creep with a small tank/marine force. With proper control, Zerg will almost always come out on top. | ||

2 infestors would win him both of the games and it's not like he didn't have time to make them. | ||

The problem with zerg is, you can be ahead the whole game, but when you make 1 bad engagement you can lose the game very easy. The other races have this a bit less. But IdrA fighting!! Come on man. Do what you need to do! its like if a protoss is way ahead and than goes for mono stalker vs infestors ling and he loses....he deserves to lose, same goes for Idra thinking that mono muta should counter mass rines | ||

After reading through the posts in this thread, it seems that he was doing his standard: "I'm-better-than-everyone-else-and-terran-is-stupid-so-I'm-just-gonna-play-a-macrogame-like-I've-always-done-with-mass-mutas-and-if-I-lose-I-blame-it-on-terran-opness-attitude". I really hope he can get his shit together and start being overly safe rather than doing these on-the-edge-strategies like making JUST enough lings/blings to hold off timing pushes. He shoulder OVER-protect himself in the early/mid-game because he almost NEVER loses late-game. The only time I've seen him lose late-game I think is vs Zenio in the NASL and MC in the DH Sthlm invi. So IdrA: Please over-defend yourself, and then abuse your better mechanics in the late-game. IdrA Fightning Day 2&3!!!! | ||

Maybe he never loses in the late game because he plays such a corner cutting early game? | ||

You... might have a good point right there! But against players like Sjow (who I think he's more than marginally better than), it's possible he could profit from what I suggested | ||
