Of course as you know who wins a battle depends on a number of variables including upgrades, who has the better concave and whether you're attacking on or off creep. | ||

Wouldn't have mattered if he had 20 roaches in the front, there were both immortals and blink stalkers to crush them and the hydras. It's kind of silly that the only good zerg unit is the infestor. | ||

I think he needs either a revelation or a break, or something. His mentality just isn't working at the moment, he needs some time out, or indeed maybe just a break from the community: have a good period of just working on the game/thinking about the game without the distraction and childishness of the community to worry about. | ||

He said yesterday that Stephano is able to do well in tournaments because he's so solid against worse players. Okay - then what about IdrA? Why does IdrA lose to players worse than him? It's one thing if this is a fault of the game, a flaw of SC 2, but seeing the way IdrA plays and loses and the way Stephano plays and loses you don't get that feeling. IdrA loses because IdrA is not as solid. He knows this, his observers know this, now's the time to do something about it. When IdrA said that he thought Stephano was maphacking before he went to offline events that right there said a lot about IdrA's weaknesses as a player. If he can address those, then there is hope. Otherwise, he's never going to be the player he wants to be. | ||

IdrA is less solid than Stephano both on ladder and in tournaments, and from what he said yesterday I think he knows this. He doesn't need sycophants, not at this stage in his career. | ||

Not really a good excuse  . EU ladder isnt' as challenging as kr ladder either, its a lot better then NA, but still quiet far behind KR ladder. | ||

Otherwise, he's never going to be the player he wants to be. In my opinion idra loses against worse players in tournaments, because he is nervous. He know that everyone is expecting him to win and everyone has also high expectations, especially since he were in Korea. He gets nervous and doesn't play like he should play and then might leave early etc. He always plays very good against good players (like Koreans), because then he doesn't have so much pressure, since none is really expecting him to win and everyone knows that the opponent isn't any walkover. He need little more self-confidence imo. that's my conclusion. | ||

And more builds refined are easier to stop? | ||

Cause that would make my brain hurt........I don't know if Stephano starts laddering on NA but if he does you can be more than sure that he will go on some insane streak. Just because he doesn't lose against "retarded" stuff like pylon blocks Idra frequently loses against. If you really believe that pros have to fear weird builds over refined builds why aren't tournament players using completely random and werid builds? Because they are not good and obviously easier to stop. Stephano is the far better player and it has nothing to do with the ladder both play on.....sadly. I really wish idra would play like Stephano and not be afraid to play from heavy economic and positional disadvantages and put up a million crawlers if it is necessary because he believes in his macro. What makes me happy is that idra is actually learning although very very slowly. | ||
