I always thought zerg was a poor choice for idra. The race requires a lot of aggression and an intimate sense of timing, which are not idras strong points. I think would be better off Terran because a defensive/economic style is very strong. Protoss would work too because he seems to prefer to attack with a mass ball.
However, I highly doubt he will change races. He has been asked many times why he doesn't change races if he thinks zerg is weak. His response was that it would take too long to learn all the intricacies of a different race.

The majority of IdrA'S losses (or so I think..) are from mid game timing pushes.. I feel like static defense should be a macro/defensive oriented zergs best friend.

Guys, please remember about the "Korean training" stages.
It's only natural, that his record will fell at first, and pick-up after a while. IdrA did some new things from his perspective (like 14/14 against protoss). I would say - wait a while.

And by the way - he gg'ed after both games - and those were 2 all-ins from protoss...

I just don't like that after each lose in some tourneys there are 10 pages of whining...


I just don't like that Idra loses to a 2 base warp gate timing 9 months after 2 base warp gate timings disappeared from the pro-scene. I am crying blood over this.

You must've missed MC's Code S group and his multitude of 2 base timings.


that's MC, he can make those work like nobody else. but generally i don't think a 7gate should work after a failed stargate harass...

It's cool bro, some people are just fair weather fans. Stephano's doing pretty well lately, hit up his fanclub.



Been an idra fan since release. 1 & 1/2 years of heart break is too much.

He's describing you. He's doing bad, so you get out. When he starts doing good again you will probly come back, just like a bunch of scrubs do. True fans are fans in both the good times and the bad.


Exactly. IdrA and EG fan boy for life, son!

But then he'd be a hypocrite and he'd have to apologize for playing that race.

Err the only time zerg requires aggression is really vs protoss. Otherwise vs T you don't want to be aggressive until hive tech due to the fact that you really can't push a sieged marine/tank army with muta/ling/bane or even roach/infestor honestly its just suicide.

zvz is very aggressive but tvt is the same in sc2 unless I am mistaken (haven't seen a tvt in a long time no idea how its played now).

I don't think he would enjoy protoss because the race doesn't require that much multi tasking compared to terran or zerg I think he has said that in the past and that is one of the reasons he didn't stay with protoss in beta.
When I think of something else, something will go here

I don't think terran is a very suitable race for Idra, it relies so much aggressive pushes and timings that can really backfire. Idras play seem to revolve around playing a more passive and "safe" game and just outmacroing his opponent, which isn't how terran players generally play this game. Also terran relies so much on micro, which I don't think is Idras strongest area (although zerg doesn't give much opportunity for it).

I just don't see his style meshing well with the hyper-aggressive terran of SC2.

Hmmm terran worked the same way in BW. Had to be aggressive, deny bases of zerg (tvp I don't know). Honestly sc2 terran is a lot like bw terran in terms of aggressive tactics, micro, and multi tasking. I do think terran would fit Idra's playstyle but I also think zerg does to.

I dont know if idra should switch races or not. I do think it would help his mentality to do so, but I dont think have a bad month constitutes switching races. Also idra is on ITG today for the first time in forever, so make sure to watch and perhaps call in.

Terran was long considered the worst/hardest race in BW, right? In that way Zerg in SC2 is similar, most games are about cutting corners and booming economy to get into a good position, while trying to survive. IdrA and other pro zergs often rage about the inability to win even fights and the vulnerability in early-mid game (due to cutting corners).

I'm no shrink but even in my own experience, playing zerg gives you this irrational inferiority complex. And in a way that pushes the player to try harder and makes winning all the more rewarding. I think IdrA has some of the same masochistic quality that makes Zerg the best race for him. :p

IdrA would be great as Terran, a they can be played aggressively or very defensively. A switch could also shake him up a bit, which seems like exactly what he needs. However, I don't care and will continue to support Greg throughout SC2. IdrA fighting!!
