Personal attacks in this thread will draw a temp ban. |
This bracket (Bomber, MMA, Naniwa, DRG) is scary enough without considering who's coming for the Open Bracket... Mvp, Nestea, Stephano, Sase, etc... I'm almost a bit sad that Idra is the top seed because he can't play that many matches (a maximum of seven for him) but it should be a lot of fun anyway.

I wonder if Idra can implement ling counter-attacks to early pressure in ZvT similarly to Stephano.

Afterwards, he goes straight for the SCVs because he has already invested in the lings and he usually ends up ahead.
i think many people would consider idra's zvt stronger than that of stephano. i also find stephano's early lings, and this is probably idra's philosophy, chewing up too many larvae and minerals to what could've been drones. Both methods have proven succesful. however, the muta style adapted as a standard playstyle works well even when the opponents are expecting it. as idra said, stephano's playstyle may probably be adapted by other terran players. that being said, stephano's zvt is innovative, and maybe possibly be the new answer to the infinite number of early terran pressure.
I don't want Idra to switch to Stephano's style... A love his mutas; they are one of the most beautiful things in SC2 for now. I'm just pondering whether there's a place for more lings in Idra's early game because I don't see the terran players doing any less early timings against him. Getting them just for defence is not viable though; they have to do damage.

MC is going to get raped by Bomber, his cheesy, abusive tactacs dont work on terrans(let alone Bomber) and MMA has the best TvZ in the world right now as well as coming off a huge GSL win. i doubt DRG will win against him

If you could merge Idra and Stephano it would be the perfect Zerg

Damn I guess you can't even take a starcraft break during week ends then :/ Ah just wanted to have a look at my fav's thread before catching up... I'll know next time :p

As a french I'm a bit sad for IdrA's run at ESCW. I hope he enjoy his stay in Paris and that Paname the shy shows her best colors for the Greg Fields.
We got to be welcoming!

IdrA his ZvT is "better" than that from Stephano.
But Stephano his ZvZ and ZvP seem better.

Yeah, he had a nice chance here and kinda blew it.
Out of his side of the bracket, the scariest players were Mana, MC, and Nerchio.
Nerchio and MC both were knocked out by other players, so if IdrA had beaten that Z player, I think he would have beaten Grubby and had a quite good chance against MaNa

No, there's no logic behind writing a post stating the winners name of GSL, out of context, in a fanthread for a player who didn't participate in the tournament.
You should be able to be away for a weekend without having everything spoiled by logging TL. I don't see how "something being 3 days old news" is a valid counterargument when the whole reasoning behind having antispoilers is to have spoilers being posted in a way where the content can be avoided if wished.
That being said, when you quote a spoiler, you're essentially making your own post a spoiler. Instead, quote AND make the quote an "anti spoiler" OR replace the winners name w/ a symbol. While AgentChaos post was edited by a mod, yours still shows its previous content, being the spoiler. Thus, the only spoiler at the moment, ironically, is your complain about spoilers.

Can anyone give me some links to the music that idra listens ?

Make an effort to find it yourself... there is a link in the OP to a post containing most of what he listens to. Mostly it's dubstep, like Flux Pavillion etc. When he streams he just use Pandora, which is sadly not available outside of the US

Wtf I was just ponting out mma is good and no way he can lose against drg

The worst part is I actually thought it was him until he said something like 3 seconds after I turned on the stream XD Then again, I did have it set to 240p... Still kind of funny xD
