I don't think you understand quite how big of a disadvantage that is. Any random masters player could beat Idra if they started off with 2 additional workers. There is practicing staying in the game when you have a chance...but what you are suggesting is just staying in the game when there is no chance at all.
dragon actually played some handicapped games with less SCVs. won against masters. he also played mouse only once.
i think you dont realize how much better a GM is compared to some random master.

Ok, I'd say the outcome depends on the masters player knowing the pro is disadvantaged. There isn't much chance of a zerg starting with 4 drones holding off something like an 8-10 pool from a zerg with 6 drones, or any sort of early pressure really. If the 6 drone guy doesn't know the pro is disadvanted and decides to never attack and let the game to late game then sure the pro will be able to catch up due to mistakes from the other player.

one race loses workers with every building built
the other doesn't
If a zerg started with 4 workers, I could worker rush and Zerg cannot beat it.

I look at it like this: he will probably lose but if he wins, it will be awesome.
IdrA's PvZ is easily his worst match-up MC is the best protoss and PvZ in the world. However, it's IdrA vs. MC..... it's gonna be close and either one could win
Best match-up SC2 has seen yet. Probably would've been IdrA vs. Huk, but since they're both EG now, that defused.

whys he always got to piss off the protoss -.-
Well, there is Kas, but Idra respects him quite a bit now. The only other good Terrans are Koreans and they don't really form rivalries (except MC Idra and Naniwa Nestea).

if only clide was here...
In an interview did when IdrA was in the SlayerS house, he said that he and Clide are kind of best friends now because Clide sat next to him
Haven't got to see much of your casting lately but was really positively surprised at the Empire vs SlayerS casting. Not only in-game casting but also in between games. You're becoming a great caster Greg!
In the "IdrA doesn't give a f uck" sort of music video - you see him walking on a red carpet where two people try to sort of a high five him, where is that from? Some tournament that I missed? It looks sooooo baller and I gotta check it out man hit me up with some vod ! Ty
