Either way, his ZvP very strong, and his ling/mute and ling/bane and ling/banedrop/infestor and his ling/infestor and his roach max style and his fast hive style all look really amazing, he is well on his way to improving to best foreigner zerg He is barely pulling off wins against NA Grandmasters with these new ZvP styles :/ I wouldn't say any of his ZvP are amazing just yet. That said, it's great to see that he's experimenting within the match up, hope he figures out something imba Dat tumour save c: that guy was rank 27 GM, and people like Demu and Ret play on NA alot, and youwouldnt call them bad, so you never know if it was someone good/great (two toss, IIIIIIIII and pHuk or somthing like that What protoss worth mentioning are playing a lot on NA? Not all that many :/ While I agree none of them are bad, they are for the most time not the caliber of players that Idra will play in tournaments. That said I am not well versed in the pro's different smurfs, so far all I know, he could be playing anyone, though I doubt all that many would choose to play NA over, say, EU or KR
the only reason you know ret/demu play on NA is they stream, lioke you said any pro could be smurfing, anyone could have been that toss.
and why play on NA? staying in NA, obv. maybe for MLG spring arena 2 or something (though thats online qualifiers  only in 25-30 days) or some other tourny/commitment

That Protoss player was actually pretty good. Harrassed, teched, expanded and had map presence all game. I can't believe warp prisms weren't used before, considering their speed their heath really doesn't matter much. Shuttles were even weaker than warp prisms and good micro was more than enough to account for their paperness. Yes, vs Terran old warp prisms were trash but the old warp prism would have been just as potent against zerg.
Yes, this guy played as well a zvp as someone like Sase would.

I forget, was that the barcode toss? If so, he did really good. Isn't it the Koreans that usually roll the barcode names? Anyone know if it's a smurf for someone notable?

Who does Idra think CaliberLight is?

Damn, he played so well there as well. He could have definitely avoided that. Can't believe he took his eyes off his army. As a Terran player, I know how it feels to accidentally forget to look at your army and BAM, banelings or storm just rips you up.
Nothing new. This is one of the biggest problems in sc2, since release or beta. depot here, barrack here, pylon here, a hatch here etc... like you see, you need (too) much time for building something, this is why your eyes (always) took off his army.
Alle three Race have this problem.

yes, barcode guy, dunno who, but GM with ~60-70% win rate, the phuk guy was GM rank 27
not bad NA scrubs anyway
edit: puCK was rank 22 sorry

Nowadays idra even pulls drones before leaving the game in tournaments, so his attitude has really changed.

I wouldn't say it is that big of a problem most of the time. At least from what I've seen and experienced. He was just carelessly sending his army into enemy territory without giving it too much thought

So far today Idra played
rank 2 masters zvz win
rank 22 GM win
rank 22 gm win
rank 42 gm loss
rank 36 gm win

my thoughts when he were doing that was why isnt he presplitting

idras macro is not bad but just, off lately
not talking about when he has 30 larvae, but times when he's banking 2000 min like now, expand to the sides, make spines, you dontneed larvae for gas units man

Or at the very least having some unit in front of his main army so he would have more reaction time :s

THAT WAS A STUPID AMOUNT OF VIKINGS. They all died c:
|
lol since he kill all the hellions he just made 100 lings (not exagerating, they filled ~50 supply
|
holy shit idra is so good
edit 3: edit 1: remaxing on roach since he force hellions
edit 2: and vikings
|
Hey bro. I heard you like armories. I don't. So I walked into you bases and killed them
|
really well palyed by idra, really good use of broods to force an opening, lingsand roach to press into wounded areas and harass, and great dominance in the air battle with brilliant fungals +corruption, also good macro
