I also want to know more about his current view on sAviOr, the only thing we've heard so far is that he would like to have him as a coach if he played SC2, but beyond that how does IdrA as a former CJ member view his actions, and would he ever want to see him play again? | ||

Idra has one of the best analytical minds in the game and you really see it when he casts games. But knowing what to do and actually doing it in game is something he hasn't mastered in ZvP. He's on the right track. At least now he realizes that the matchup isnt competely broken and is admitting to his mistakes. | ||

Being an Engineer myself I think his analytical, rational mind would be good to an engineer. As for being a Poker player... his expression-less face would do him very well, at least. I would still like to ask the other 2 questions, though. | ||

Impressively, before stim (or against mech) they do well. If Hydras don't have to fight against stimmed marines they can survive pretty well. Even hellions, because they kill the hellions so fast. Against protoss Hydras are decent. If they don't run into a Colossus they can do 'well'. But the last times I saw Hydras built in ANY match up was a couple months ago. Strange that Blizzard doesn't think it has anything to do with the unit being bad. A HIVE tech upgrade won't do anything, when we reach hive we don't need Hydras anymore. | ||

But somehow I still think that there is something wrong when you see more Motherships, BattleCruisers and Carriers than you see Hydras. But anyway. I wish Idra was trainning Hydras against Terran. They offer pretty good avenues against a meching opponent (with drops). If there is anyone who would find a way to use then well, it would be Idra. | ||

If hydras are actually worth anything in ZvT, Idra would be imo the last person to use them. Stephano or DRG would have to win 10 tournies with them before Idra would consider using, that's how terrible they are as a unit. I completely fail to comprehend how they would be useful against Mech. They deal only DPS, which is nice... but they die if you look at them funny and they're TERRIBLY immobile. Hydras are so bad your opponent should be happy if you're making them. Secondly, I don't think he's got the BEST analysis on the game. Like, when he casts games, he's incredibly precise about predicting what players are going to do and he's right 99% of the time. But sometimes he says things like "ok at this point there's nothing X can do vs Y with this set up" yet somehow stuff works out anyway. I think it's because he's got a rigid mindset about what works in what situation and it prevents him from being on the experimental side of things. But maybe because of the design flaws you have in the game. Either way, that's how I feel about some stuff about Idra, my 2 cents. Still really love watching him, be it casting, playing or eating. ^^ | ||
