Looked like a game from a year go.
A LOT of ZvP's look like games from a year ago. Ever since the NP nerf I know that I've had huge amounts of trouble dealing with Toss deathballs.
He'll get Jinro, though!

yay, 6:20AM CEST :D:D:D Things we do to watch Idra... Luckily he is way better at ZvT ^^ I might actually not want to smash stuff.

Who is the terran opponent he'll be playing?

How did he outplay Elfi, Elfi kept him basically even on bases and killed a TON of overlords. We've seen zergs lose all those ovies and still crush protoss. Idra just didnt have any good timings, he waited until toss was maxed(rather than attempting to keep toss off a third base, had only 5 corruptors to take on 3 collosi(and during the engagement the corruptors werent even hitting the collosi initially. I love Idra, but his ZvP is garbage and always has been, he needs to take some tips from some of the korean zergs because he is playing the matchup wrong. how did he NOT outplay elfi, elfi showed no significant micro, macro, or decision making. The only decision he made was to make stalkers and colossus after an early attack (WHICH IDRA HELD BEAUTIFULLY) then he made another attack while behind on bases which was ALSO held off. Then IdrA, unable to do offense due to being forced into hydra by 2 SG, couldn't transition b/c of the constant threat of attack (mobility of the ball due to blink stalkers). Elfi made a ton of mistakes and he still won, the ONE mistake idra made, was slightly over making hydras, and MAYBE he couldve snuck in hive, but it wouldve taken a good 3-5 minutes (hive>GS> morphing) which is a huge vulnerability. Idra 4 base vs toss 3 base and he loses when he makes one tiny mistake. Yeah, elfi played GREAT.
When you play a severly outdated style, you will not beat the current meta-game. That's all there is to it. Its not like zerg's are getting destroyed by toss, its quite the opposite. Sometimes strategies can't work and you need to figure out what other zerg's are doing? Watch Dimaga vs JYP or even most ZvP's in korea in the last 2 months before you praise Idra's skil in this matchup.

Btw, just writing this while i w8 for idra vs jinro, but have you ever seen huk stream? I used to hate huk, but yesterday i was in idra stream and huk was live and i decided to watch for a bit, and i was totally crushed by the level of epicness and skill in those matches.....not refering only to huk, i mean he is good...but each game is ladder is awsome...from both him and his opponents....i've seen a lot of replays and played myself a lot and its amazing the way they always build up for a macro game and some crazy shit....not even close to eu and na ladders,,,,

I was actually not complimenting him x)...i've even said i didn't used to like him...was just saying that to compare the high kind of gameplay he goes against daily, to idra, is huge....since idra is going to korea soon right? that's what i was trying to reach....the way idra will become when he gets back to that lvl of gameplay.....i failed at my point x) sry.

Idra won't be there but Blizzcon

And if Blizzard can somehow implement cross server support, IdrA can practice on KR ladder from NA.
