Idra is such a nice guy even though he has a BM reputation. So happy that he won today. Lol, the sign just got so much better now that I know what it all said! <3

Right so, you're retarded yeah? First you claim to not take anything away from IdrA, then continue to do so, then completely disregard the talent that was at the tournament.
Select: Korean, Taken games off MVP, one of the best foreign terrans
HuK: Needs no explanation, top3 protoss in the world and top2 foreigner
White-Ra: Top European protoss, won IPL2, does quite well for himself
Dimaga: Top European zerg, beast.
Elfi: Yeah ok, this guy's not that great, but he's still not terrible by any means (3-1'd HuK)
Sjow: See above
Ret: Also top european zerg, macro monster, great player, easily one of the best foreigners
Before you talk you should probably do your research, just because someone doesn't have a korean team prefix before their name it doesn't mean they're terrible and just because they're not an icon of community hype it doesn't mean they're terrible either.

Gz IdrA! I'm really happy he won. Would have loved to be there live to see him win though (fu military service >:d)

I am really confused. Idra only ever has 3 queens for injects, floats minerals and is gas starved, yet always has more than what other Zergs have. Select cannot move across the map without dying yet vs Dimaga, he had the map control, he was harassing, he was calling the shots.
Idra's injects are not better than the other good Zergs out there, but he seems to be so unstoppable in a macro game. How is he so good? What am I not seeing?

Idra rocks and Im really happy about that , yet I can understand that one does´nt necessarily understand how he does it.

It has a lot to do with what and when he spends stuff. Idra is so damn fuckin good at managing his economy :o

He becomes this unharrasable macro monster, even though his mechanics aren't necessarily superior to someone like Ret or Dimaga.

Idra's injects are not better than the other good Zergs out there, but he seems to be so unstoppable in a macro game. How is he so good? What am I not seeing? His play is more refined that's why. He gets to the same point in his unit number and tech quicker than other Zerg by more efficiently managing the order of his buildings, the amount of his units/drones and the timing of his tech. He frequently checks drone amounts to make sure he has the optimum amount at each expo and knows what to get next. He takes expansions not "when he can" but when he knows he can saturate it and instantly gain benefit.
Take Ret for example. Ret just makes drones :p He overmakes them and he makes them at bad times. This sets his tech and harass back giving him less map control and initiative. Ret hasn't really refined his SC2 play in the way he did with BW I don't feel. (I was a big fan of Ret in BW).

That's sort of what tasteless has said about him. I remember tasteless saying something like "you kill idra's army and then all of a sudden for no reason he has all his units back." I think Idra's strength is knowing exactly when and how many units to produce at any time given what he's scouted and his income.

Thanks a bunch! Do you think Idra would do better if he got more than 3 queens for injects? I think most Koreans like to get a queen for hatch, even for the macro hatches. Idra in general seems less focussed on having 8 active creep tumours and billions of larvae and all that. Does taking slightly late gas, skipping a potential 4th queen, and all that stuff contribute to his seemingly unstoppable mid game ZvT?

Doesn't make a lot of sense to not have a queen per base, i'm pretty sure he makes more than three when he cans.

IdrA gets more than 3 Queens every time, it's just he only uses 3 for Injects. Why doesn't he use more? We might never know, but clearly he does not need to.

Goodluck in the GSL Idra. Hopefully you can back into code S soon. Should even been easier going up from Code A with the new format.

What a great series vs SeleCT. It would have been great if you used his celebration when you won ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
