Edit: people that just say 'lol get infestors' don't understand how useless a low number of them can be vs a splitting Terran. Taeja was on 3 base and not 5 for a reason, and that's because idra didn't go infestors. | ||

you'd have to be an idiot to say that that was idra playing his best. He was obviously holding back/wasnt playing well for some reason so its ok not to take anything away from taeja though, he played really really well | ||

 Hoping that the Korean practice begins to kick in soon though, would make him pretty scary | ||

IdrA never really does well in these show matches. 0-4 to Tyler, 2-4 to Jinro, now 0-4 to Taeja. Hope this doesn't demoralize him though. | ||

If anything, it got slightly better after game 1, then leveled off. He's obviously holding back because he has GSL matches to play really soon. IdrA is a master of TvZ...... no master goes ling/bane/muta EVERY game for 4 straight games. The one curveball was a roach bust.....that became ling/bane/muta. That said, Taeja is an awesome player, and plenty capable of stomping on IdrA if he is just going to do the same 2 base muta over and over again. | ||

When has Idra ever deviated from his muta style in ZvT? Stop making excuses. | ||

As a long time Idra fan who only stopped being a lurk out of anger at this match, I must say I am starting to lose faith. Also, all the people making excuses that he is hiding strategies, his code A bracket contains 2 protoss and a zerg...so that argument makes no sense. | ||

His mechanics and timings were amazing, but he just did Ling / Bling / Muta everytime, so in every engagement Taeja just splits his marines astonishingly and wipes out IdrAs army very cost efficiently. Idra never even lost to any kind of timing attacks since his own timings were so spot on with him always being capable of defending them. -I get the feeling either IdrA doesnt want to show what his style is going to be in the upcoming GSL matches or the metagame is shifting away from Ling / baneling because terrans are becoming way too good at splitting their infantry. Ofcourse infestors can lock down the bio forces for banelings to finish them off but on all 4 games, IdrAs army composition was futile despite his excellent play. =( Oh well, hoping for idra to smash his way through code A. | ||

The games were pretty bad and one sided. Idra still is not in his best form these days. Hopefully the continual training in Korea will improve him. | ||
