I play Zerg, the one zerg that I love watching win more out of any other is... IdrA... most people just love watching IdrA lose just because of the fact they will see some controversy or because they plain don't like him. I love watching IdrA win because he plays the game the way I love watching it be played, His play is usually: "Im going to macro and i will out macro you, and if you give me a small advantage ill take it and win the game with it". Beating Kiwi and HuK at DC 2010 and beating Puma 3-0 at IEM China are some of my favorite wins from him. The problem with the way IdrA plays is the best way i can put it is...See-through. He will take risk's, but only if they will give him a sure win. Even if he knows it wont work he will still do what he thinks is the best thing to do, and hope for the best. Problem is, because how essential the surprise factor in starcraft is, and the more you know of your opponent... the more you can tweak what you do decide to do to counter that. So therefore, the best thing to do.. is not always the best thing to do. IdrA, knows he can't get behind with his style of play, and will not win if he cannot get an advantage. Take a look at when he plays HuK and Puma, He beat them earlier and now... twice hes lost to both in recent tournaments. Puma even stated he feels comfortable playing against IdrA. It is very easy to see how IdrA will go for an advantage in a game and most can counter it. My opinion of IdrA is that he thinks too much of the time that its his reaction that matters (Zerg is the reactionary race) and he doesnt think about his opponents reaction to his reaction and he will always play to hope for the best in a situation. Take the games vs Avenge... Game 1: Idra sees fast Xpo and Idra takes 3rd and masses roaches, He starts upgrades+burrow+armor all at the same time for roaches due to the large amount of sentries, pretty standard and will counter mass FF's if they finish... Now what he does is just HOPES that Avenge wont push out until the upgrades are done. Ofcourse Avenge, knows idra is probably waiting for upgrades, knows his timing and pushes out before the upgrades are done. What IdrA probably thinks: "I reacted perfectly, I made the right decision for the win, nothing else would have won me the game". Game 2: Idra sees 2 base stargate, makes spores, defends base with only minor loses of queens and overlords, sure his defence could have been better but it was sufficient. He goes to muta, knowning that he will win the game with ling&muta harras in 2 different places while avenge tries to take 3rd. Again, Avenge knows whats happening and knows his timing, and attacks when IdrA is most useless (when he's invested already in mutas, but doesn't have enough of them yet to be effective). What IdrA probably thinks: "if I got those muta's out it would have been a sure victory, I couldn't have won otherwise". My other 2 favourite Zergs are Leenock and Nestea. What do they do differently? they expect what their opponents reaction will be to their reaction is. My advice to IdrA is he needs to work on his mind set during games. No not the part where he needs to change his mindset about Tilt. Rage, Imbalance, but the Mindset in the actual moment of the game. Some tips id say...Keep his opponent guessing, Get Creative once in a while, Dont be afraid to take the less efficient route, dont over&underestime your opponents and definitely don't hope for the best, expect that it may not be the best choice after all. | ||

Just a nice game from Idra. I think if Idra wants to start winning he has to find new strats like that make them work in the current metagame. It also seems to me Idra's play mechanically looks very similar back then and today. Its amazing how his mechanics were just so ahead of everyone else's. | ||

sure he has nice mechanics due to playing 24/7 however the lack of deep game understanding and having fun while playing makes him a poor guy who will never make it to the very top | ||

Else... *sigh*.. IdrA fanclub is not complete without a warning/ban every 3 days or so, I guess... Edit: not to say you will get banned or receive a warning for sure.. it's just a feeling... | ||

It's been discussed several times that Sc2 is too volatile and luck is a big factor in some games. Wait are u actually for real? Idra was sooooo far away from being anyway near bonjwa status. I'm not sure u understand at all what that means. I'm not talking bad about Idra in his fanclub or anything but that is just wrong. | ||
