hmm...why did i received a warning for writing this? O.o I was laughing at Whole's picture of the 2nd returning of God when i asked how will Idra be after going to Korea.... Any guess? Contributes nothing to the thread. Looks like Idra will have a highly ranked finish but might not win it. Wining six straight sets against the best players in the world... hard times. | ||

So bringing humor to a thread is bad? And it only takes some minutes to read another posts by me and realise that i take this thread seriously when i have to. This is a fanclub, not a morgue. It's made so that fans can unite and support their idol in the same place and have fun doing it. But of course this is my oppinion ^.^ Let them do whatever they whant. | ||

I think if he runs into TheStC after that he could beat him but if Bomber drops down he would likely lose to him. | ||

Things just got massively more difficult for IdrA and winning the tournament looks a lot less likely. He'll probably have to face MKP on the way to the final and that means a stupid extended series. | ||

Idra played amazing starcraft, I have never seen so many counterattacks, he was so active, and then came the marines. I really dislike these things, in my opinion Idra did definently deserve to win that game. Upgrade rushes have been around forever and are often effective. It's not just Terran both Protoss and Zerg can do a similar thing. For example Stephano's play often incorporates fast melee upgrades in the TvZ matchup. It leads to a similar mid/late game tilt as we saw. It was just beautifully executed by MKP. IdrA played a style that tried to counter it but he just didn't quite get enough done. | ||

I was really amazed by how high level those games were, especially game 3. Idra's Muta harass and ling counter attack was gosu. He killed so many units and SCVs with harass and counter attack.. He managed to scrape himself ahead quite well. What saved MKP? His upgrades and his marine micro. As much as I dislike seeing Idra lose, if he's going to lose he might as well lose to the best, most classy player in the tournament. MKP played really well to defend the harass and still have just enough to push and win. Really well. People are quick to bash Idra and his lack of infestors, his attacking Marines with Muta and whatnot but I feel it isn't quite justified. MKP simply outplayed idra, but by a very small margin. The very quick upgrades played a huge role. Had Idra refined his play to incorporate speedupgrades as well.. well the game could have been Idra's. An exciting series all in all. I still think Idra's got it in him to go really far in this tournament. Perhaps even win! We'll see. | ||

IdrA played a style that tried to counter it but he just didn't quite get enough done. MKP just built marines and got upgrades. That was basically it. I don't see anything particularly impressive or "beautifully executed" about that. Idra did really well with the constant counterattacking (he must have picked around 5-6 tanks alone with those attacks) and he was in a big advantage simply because MKP's tank count wasn't as high as it could be in the big engagement. His mistake was overcommitting the mutas in the final engagement, he should have pulled back and got more lings/banelings, and then finish off that army. Lack of more upgrades were also an issue, going with 2/0 lings vs. 3/3 marines is a tough battle. He also lost a ton of lings without much damage dealt just before the big engagement during a counterattack to MKP's base, but there were a ton of marines there. If he had those lings, I think Idra would have won that game. | ||

I'd say that MKP's play got him the win just as much as Idra's mistakes did. I'm just hoping Idra comes back and wins the series when they face each other again (that's going to happen btw). | ||

But MKP managed to not get completely overrun by Idra's counter attacks and "hold on" until he had 3-3 upgrades on his marines. That and getting the most out of his marines in the final battles is what won him the game. Very few players micro marines that well and MKP reminded us why he's named the way he is. That's why I think it's a little rich to say he just made marines and got upgrades. That's just my opinion of course. I'd say that MKP's play got him the win just as much as Idra's mistakes did. I'm just hoping Idra comes back and wins the series when they face each other again (that's going to happen btw). I think you hit the important point there. It's not that MKP got 3/3 upgrades, it's that he was able to hold on from constant pressure to do so. Pretty good stuff. I do have to say I'm quite sad that IdrA lost that game though. I have been really excited to see him playing so well again the last few weeks. He's becoming the old IdrA that every foreigner and hell a fair number of Koreans fear, and with good reason. Also, his creep spread in that 1st game vs. MKP (or was it TLO? It's late and I'm tired and can't remember. Map was shattered temple, however) was both beautiful and obscene. I love it when a zerg knows what an advantage they have in map vision. It's not that he just spread creep far, he spread the tumors to specific points like the edges of his main for vision that in itself shut down an incoming drop. Add to that overloads everywhere and spewing creep to add to the harass of an attack, and wow. I'm so glad IdrA is back! | ||

I'm not here to judge what Idra should have done but saying 'lol get upgrades noob' is simply showing your complete lack of understanding of Starcraft economy management. Part of the reason of this is because everyone who isn't pro is sooo bad at macro they have floating gas anyway and get the upgrades when they want, and not realise that it actually takes decision making to get upgrades. | ||

Are people seriously saying Idra should have teched to Hive on 3 base economy 6 gas? He had to establish his 4th and unfortunately, Marineking's solid defence gave him a very good timing to attack, and the 4th never got drones transferred to it. If you wanna see what double evo fast upgrades into infestor into Hive into adrenal glands into Ultra on 3 base looks like, watch Marineking vs Goswser. If you are investing into mutas, you cannot tech to Hive before your 4th base, because you will notice your map control simply disappears, mutas become paper weight, and you lose. People then say 'lol should have massed ling bling.'
