Did you guys at least notice any improvement in IdrA's play from the last major foreign tournament?



At Lucky series he was unluky

But on Nestea series it was clearly bad desision and lack of micro. Bad micro at first game with bane explosions and
CLEARLY bad desision on FE in a zvz game after a cheese on first game.

how can a FE in the 2nd set be bad decision? That was purly luck/BO-loss. You can't really say much about the 2 nestea games.
And don't feel so down people, he had a pretty tuff group. When even Idra says that Nestea is a better Zerg than he is, that means something. I just hoped the games would have been longer and not both guessing. But it's probably the matchup i guess

I have no fear that Idra will get back into Code S for next season. He had the hardest group, and still put up a great fight. He's fully capable of dominating and I know he will.

I wondered this for a very long time as a "only spectator".
idra vs lucky is a very good example of what i have in mind.

I think it is really safe to say lucky had a 5 second window to attack, 5 seconds later, idra has hydras lucky dies.
My question is, do pros actually KNOW that they have 5 seconds timing like that at that particular time against that particular build or was that 80% luck and like 20% knowing the timing?

Go go Idra! Watched the games, plenty to cheer for! Can't wait to see how well he'll play after even more practice.

Shame that IdrA got beaten, I was hoping to see some unique and interesting ZvZ solutions to the current meta-game openers. But unfortunately it's all about rushing which is just impossible for any human to predict and manage correctly.

ZvZ is the hardest style to get a consistent grasp of, even more so to get a handle on the korean game sense, I don't think it's fair to feel disappointed in IdrA for truly going into coin flip matchups.

It's a shame that it's designed this way. Biggest problem is you cant hold position banelings so they don't attack anything. I'm not sure why Blizzard want to make the volatility of ZvZ so extreme.

Because banelings are just so volatile, the game hangs around far too long in tier1. It would be like if in PvP or TvT the first 10minutes of the game was just marines or zealots....

That's ZvZ for ya..

Well at least Idra (and Sen) is still in Code A. It's not like he's completely out. So I'm disappointed that he didn't do better, but it could be worse. Unfortunate that he didn't get to play MVP, those games might have been great.

Still, it feels like ZvZ is BO poker. Maybe I'm wrong but it feels like Idra got out-BO'd.


haha, BO poker. Great thing to call it.

Well that was fucking bullshit. Build order losses against Nestea, then the accidental hard counter from Lucky, and then an attack hitting 10 seconds too early. This was extremely disappointing... Just fuck

This was by far the hardest group and IdrA actually played well imo. Two BO-losses against NesTea with no real skill dividers. Then a good series vs Lucky where Lucky got a lucky (lol) timing attack in against what IdrA was doing in g3.

Just look at g1 and the difference in skill was undeniable.

Anyways, hope he can move on in Code A! IdrA hwaiting!!

Has everyone looked at the code A groups? Even if he manages to win his first round match, he's got a 50/50 chance of playing Huk in the next round. I don't want to call out Gom but placing our (arguably) best foreign player in the hardest group then making him fight our other (again arguably) best foreigner for a code S spot is hardly fair

They don't "make" him to do it so much as the players "make" themselves do it through seeding. I would be confused if GOM changed their seeding structure just to avoid an inconvenience such as two foreigners or two teammates playing each other. Look at Group A for example. It had three OGS players. They had no choice but to teamkill each other.

EDIT: Besides, if they both make it past the first round of Code A, they will still both have a shot via the Up and Down matches, regardless of how the second round goes.

I can see what you're saying but it seems so much more prominent when there are only 3 foreigners and (in this case) significantly more OGS players in the code S pool making it much more likely that they would play each other. They could see where they were going to drop too and I don't think it's a huge leap of imagination to assume any foreigner will come last in their group. Thinking about the pre-tournament placement wouldn't effect the groups in any way.

The main point was, it sucks, not that I don't understand the format

Yeah, it does suck, but still, we can't expect any tournament to let teams or nationality/regionality to ever influence there brackets like that and not lose prestige in the mean time. Giving the foreigner scene a boost by lessening the chance that two will meet would cheapen the victory as a "foreigner" thing if one of them won. In essence, such things would be a handicap. Not influencing the games themselves so much but the kind of champion, etc.

It's like Jinro not accepting a free Code A seed because he wanted to earn it. If you were given a higher chance of having a foreigner champ due to intentional seeding, would you actually want it? Or would you want a foreigner to earn it on a completely level playing field.

It's because I'm an Idra fan that I don't want him to get there through any interference like that. Straight forward skill and hardwork are the only ways to a pure victory.

Also, to be clear, atleast with the Code S groups in the first stage, it's based off of a point-tier system and then randomization. (Just for background to the discussion)

EDIT: One more point, is that if two foreigners meet, then hey, you're atleast garaunteed to have one in the next round.

You are entitled to your opinion, but keep that Kind of Shit out of the IdrA Fanclub please.
It is really unnecessary and to be frank, he did better than Sen did, at least IdrA took a game

Stephano owned Lucky 4:0. Surely kid improved since ipl3 but so should IdrA. I know there was some luck included though.
Hoping he will fight back in Code A. GL

glad that idiot got banned -_-

he had the hardest group with 2 of the best players in the world in, he'll do well if he comes out of this with his head held high and gets back into practice.

It's hard to read into Lucky's loss against Stephano. Idra has said Stephano is good in a sense that he uses a different style than most zergs, and therefore catches people offguard. If you see how Lucky demolished everyone else in IPL3 before losing to him, it kinda makes sense, since this was one of Stephano's big moments of bursting on to the scene. In Korea lately Stephano hasn't been doing as well, and arguably as Idra said on SotG, because better players understand what he's doing now.

Just saying, Lucky's pretty badass himself, and losing to him isn't the same as losing to some scrub.


And yeah, Idra will definitely dominate Code A.
