Still a pretty bad loss for ESWC. The people that are not going to watch because Idra is not there is higher than the people that gained interest in watching livezerg for defeating Idra. I doubt I'm going to continue watching unless some awesome match up comes up | ||

IdrA came out ahead of the early game and lost in a straight game, because he simply didn't play well. At least i have more time for productive stuff now  | ||

The time where IdrA's lead felt the best he was never up by more than a handful of drones, but not that much when they're constantly being produced and the supplies are in flux. Had he actually just done some large roach/ling allin w/ runbys into the main, he probably could've ended it before mutas popped. Instead he went played his usual passive style knowing mutas were coming but got complacent. He was certainly ahead, but he was not so far ahead that he would be able to cruise to victory unless LZ stupidly went like pure roach. | ||

That still doesn't change the fact that ZvZ early game is volatile, with all the bling crazyness | ||

I think IdrA and Ret have similar styles in ZvZ, with IdrA having a safer, less risky style (Ret tends to take risks early on by teching relatively fast). But both fail to play solid enough (as in, scouting all the bases and responding with timing attacks when the opponent gets greedy) to consistently win players who are willing to take huge risks against them. | ||

IdrA used to have great timings in ZvZ while he was in Korea. ZvZ remains the least explored matchup. So many of the games are decided either through early baneling pressure or the subsequent roach timing. While I don't think there will be much revolution in its, it certainly has a lot of kinks to work out once the bling and roach timings are gone and the later midgame has started. Simiilar to BW, except it's a lot easier to reach that point. Lategame BW ZvZ was insane and always something to be seen when every unit basically gets made and there's a constant feeling of not knowing what's going to happen next. Anything that isn't ling/bling or roaches has that feeling at this point still. | ||

what people call risks isnt exactly the same in zvz, yet there are people who have insane winrates in this MU because they are much stronger mentally and have better timings thats why you have people winning up hill zvzs, because their set of decisions is just better, jaedong(1-2 year ago) is prime example of zvz in bw (but that was HEAVILY influenced by muta micro) zvz in bw was also kinda rock paper scissor but that didnt mean you cannot have imba winrate, if you are stronger mentally/mechanically | ||

I face masters in ZvZ and know the matchup fairly well . Best stray IMO is roach ling timing attacks when plus 1 finishes and zerglings rallied in to hit at the same time as your roaches get to their natural | ||
