Looks like Idra was right about Protoss players doing dumb shit and not innovating. Now, Protoss players are doing really clever stuff, especially vs T, they are winning loads now. Also funny that incontrol pointed at the Protoss lack of all kills when in the past 2 days we have had a 3 kill and two 4 kills (which is usually a all kill in bo9).
Obviously, we cannot say Protoss is OP, but we can say they are doing better BECAUSE they aren't doing dumb stuff anymore. Protoss lack of usage of their buffed units reflect this (the double forge builds could have been pulled off way pre 1.4).
If Protoss manage to develop these styles further, I wouldn't be surprised if Blizzard will have to nerf them again. Patch was definitely too hasty.

I'm amazed by the way you managed to sneak a rant about the PvT performance of some Koreans during the last two days in Idra's fanclub without causing a shitstorm. ^^

This being the case, I'm curious as to everyone's expectations of IdrA in what I'm going to go ahead and call 'The Month of Grack' since he is playing in every legitimate (non GSL) tournament this upcoming month. What are all of you expecting out of him performance wise?

Sadly, I don't think he is ready yet. In order to perform with a schedule like this, a player has to be at their very best form and Idra is far from his maximum potential at the moment. I think that a good placement at IEM would boost his confidence and that he'll play better afterwards but all the travelling will take its toll.
