Ret threw away an overwhelming advantage and State's sentry/stalker/immortal/collosus ball rolled through his third, natural, main and gold and did a lot of damage to one of his remaining bases. Ret was able to rally together enough roaches to snipe the sentries, Immortals and Collosi, and held against a sentry/stalker/probe all-in. ZvZ =/= ZvP | ||

Totally aware. I'm not saying Idra left early. He was dead. On the other hand, I don't think Idra would have stayed in a game like the State/Ret one. | ||

Small victories like this one keep me sane whilst reading this thread. Sheth/IdrA are close friends. So, yeah. No hard feelings. | ||

IdrA was in a far far far worse state protoss late game armies are really powerful and can do alot of damage now if state had been on 2 base VS rets 3 and ret had jsut barrelled down the front of states FFE with roachs and was about to start eating the mineral line, THEN it would be a similar situation | ||

Edit: From the perspective of State, he was also dead. Only a mistake by Ret let him come back, and he almost won. | ||

Only a mistake by Ret let him come back, and he almost won. The notion that Idra leaves games early stays alive through the discussion coming up after EVERY single loss. The guy cant lose a game without someone saying he left early. | ||

The guy cant lose a game without someone saying he left early. Vash directly asked for an example of a Zerg coming back from a bad position. Artosis had literally just finished going over a replay where Ret had just lost four bases and had a ball of stalkers and collosus in one of his only two remaining bases, yet won. That's the connection I'm making. I've said multiple times that I don't think he left early in the game against Sheth. Other posters are putting words in my mouth. | ||

Barring depression, he doesn't strike me as the type of person who would just permanently roll over and give up. I really hope that's true. Hopefully he's saving the new, good stuff for MLG Winter Arena. | ||

My comment was more directed at the 'On the other hand I don't think anyone can deny that Idra often leaves games that he shouldn't.' I would say its actually not all that often he leaves games that he shouldn't. It just seems like that because its such a strong discussion point after every loss. Just going by his Lan performances this year which were the Code S and A games. I didn't give a second thought to any of his GG timings. | ||

Edit: Not taking anything away from Sheth's win, I'm just saying that there's probably a reason Idra didn't stay in the game at a disadvantage. | ||
