I'd ask him (and this is not in any way a post of hate, slander or critisicm) if he ever regrets leaving BW since he said in a interview that he indeed was on the verge of being sent out in PL and such for the "easy money" that was to come in SC2, and if he feels like he succeeded in BW. I remember seeing a quote by IdrA before or just after he came to Korea, and he stated that "unlike other foreigners, I will not fail" and sure, no other foreigner except for NoNy could give him a run for his moeny but to say that IdrA was a force to be reckoned with in Korea would be stretching it.

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?

Wow yeah that is odd. He's probably trying out some new stuff and trying to figure it out. Or maybe trying his hand at playing Protoss or something haha

Him admitting that Stephano was so much better at ZvP must have made him determined to try and figure out something that works for him.

he seems to understand PvZ enough to know he should be going infesters mainly (he said in his interview that he understood the mistakes he made against JYP) but i think he jsut doesnt really have a good in game feel for it and has trouble making proper desicion making

You hit it on the head. 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.

Nice. 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.

Yeah, he hasn't got the 'ok, I got the advantage I know how to win' aspect of ZvP yet. When he does, he will definitely improve a lot because his timings are pretty decent at the moment (which they weren't a few months ago).

Hydra vs Terran.


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.

using Hydra nydus timings VS toss or makinga creep bridge can be very very effective

Hydras arent terrible its just that there fragile there still very useful against anything that doesnt include siege tanks, collosus or storm

I don't mean they are terrible.

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.

As much as I love Idra; and I'm a huge fan of his, I disagree with two things that have been said.

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. ^^
