Myabe all those useless posts about "Idra's mindset" will stop now. The man admitted it and that he started going to a sports psychologist. Things will start getting better soon that must be such a random first session "Oh hey my name is Greg Fields, I am in need of a sports psychologist" "Oh okay. So what sport do you play?" "Starcraft 2" "..." Actually, I'm pretty sure it was just a guy hired by EG, not that Greg went alone to one. So they probably explained that these are e-athletes and not real athletes when they got him. (if not, that'd be pretty lol) The same concepts would apply either way though, but I guess it would be kind of awkward  Sports psychology is much more a specific angle regarding how psychology plays in on performance, competetiveness etc. It basically handles correlation between mental state and performance, it really has nothing to do with ''sports'' but rather what people do in sports, the field can be applied to others (not in sports) aswell  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sport_psychology However it would be fun if a psychiatrist with traditional clients from exclusively football would suddenly have greg at his doorstep. But psychiatrists in esport is (what I know) far from new
ya still would be awkward as hell if he had no idea what Esports was when he meets greg

That MLG interview should erase any doubts from anyones mind. Give Idra some time and he will be back on top no doubt. I also like the Sea quote a few posts above. Idra is in the MLG spring championship and I am thinking he's going to get that one win he needs and then make some waves.

No, I think it'll take a little more time than that for the talks with the psychologist to take effect, and I think it's going to take a lot more time before he figures out something he likes, especially with the obvious lack of practice partners. Hope he utilizes the chance to practice with the higher end players of EG now that they are in US for MLG Spring Championship etc, but I don't think that's going to put him back on top so early even if he does practice efficiently

I wasn't really a Idra fan b4 I watched the interview, he used to bm alot and I personally disliked it but after watching the interview I feel really bad for idra because hes playing alot, hes didicated 100% into the game compared to other players who dont care and I would really love that idra comeback, I know sc2 is **** it is very micro oriented and with the incomming changes in hots, i'm sure idra will perform well but I have to say , at this point, I heard idra always wished to comeback as Terran, he should consider it, according to his style.

Anyone would lose hair if they continuously get beat down for eight months.

His style suites Protoss a lot more. Little late game decision making, just heavily reliant on hitting defensive timings and superb mechanics which defines idra's play. Get to late game and auto win because of unit superiority and not decision making or micro.

no greg doesn't like babysitting a deathball. he style is definitely zerg/terran. except modern zergs are going to deathball style infestor/broodlord as well. so maybe terran.

Greg's mindset would be great for Terran... Should have stayed Terran when he switched over.

sometimes i wonder if i'd be a fan of idra if he just started as terran from the start.
one of the things that always drew me to him was the fact he was making zerg work when alot of us were getting stomped

What's up with IdrA vs SeleCt at NASL? Shouldn't he play against him?

Even jaedong can't win with sc2 zerg I'm so pissed Jaedong lost that, completely feel IdrA's tweet. That was simply a game that was decided by the protoss getting sentries. taht was a game decided by Jaedong not knowing what to do at all hard to say if Jaedong could win because the casters never talked about supply and drone count (mainly cause they couldnt mostly) i think he might have held if instead of countering he used all his roachs to sandwich the toss army but for another few months its not like any of thse games really show anything amazing
Jaedong played extremely well given how long he's been playing and generally was making the right calls. His drone count at 8:00 minutes was around 60 (a mark which Stephano and DRG regularly achieve and actually not many other players consistently do), his map awareness was extremely good, his micro was also good (he was clearly targeting weakened units and controlling his forces well), and watching him move his army around the map was actually exciting to see -- you could tell he was using multiple control groups and it just felt like a lot was going on. The sorts of thing he was doing right are indicative of someone who will be very successful at SCII. Watching Jaedong now is kind of like watching Stephano before he broke out at IPL; you could just tell that his multitasking and micro were worthy of a top tier player and that he was going to have a lot of success if he stuck with it.
Jaedong's only flaws were that he built a round of drones when he shouldn't have (after the 8 minute mark given that P hadn't expanded) and it looked like he didn't correctly scout what build the protoss was doing since he stuck with the roach tech. I actually think the counter attack wasn't the worst decision since he had little chance of winning against the sentry immortal P composition. Jaedong was executing the Stephano 12 minute maxout extremely well. That build usually will die however to a well executed sentry immortal push. As zerg you need a great, great surround or you die.
You can see the tremendous amount of potential in his play; Jaedong will be a beast soon enough.
