Sorry but Idra's main strength is in his mechanics and straight up macro play Flash still has the superior edge in mechanics and multitasking on that end It would be different if Idra was more of a clever/creative type of player that could abuse Flash's lack of SC2 knowledge but.... he's not. | ||

Idra could still abuse flash's lack of knowledge about the game due to the fact that he has more knowledge though, you don't need to be clever and creative to do that. Im sure idra could still hold a GM account in Korea too. | ||

If he tries to cheese early on he could probably take several games off Flash, but seeing how he's one of the most stubborn players out there he'd probably try to just play a straight up macro game.. which would end poorly. | ||

Yes, Idra has been Korean GM.... Yes, Idra has better SC2 mechanics than Flash... Yes, Idra could beat Flash with something else than cheese, cus Flash is not God at SC2, and Idra is way more knowledgeable | ||

But you're talking about an Idra that has never had a winrate over 60% on the Korean server and hasn't won a series in almost 6 months... | ||

We're talking about a long respected SC2 pro who is having a bad time vs a midmaster terran with a big name. I don't see anyone but Idra taking that. Naturally, Flash could take some games with fancy timings and crisp execution but that is the way of SC2 | ||

Hopefully the bw pros will get better (obv they will...), and so will IdrA!~ well who knows... the bw toss seem strong... lol that carriers game in PL tho.. honestly Roro just had no idea what he was doing | ||

Hopefully the bw pros will get better (obv they will...), and so will IdrA!~ he was never a god :D. But I disagree with you, if you watch their play their multi tasking and mechanics are top notch (most of them). Their money is always low and they react to drops, etc instantly. I don't know where you get this idea that idra has better mechanics as I don't think so. I do think Idra would beat most of the current bw players due to decision making, not falling behind on mechanics either. I give it 6 months before we really know how good they are though, but from what I have seen I can only imagine ^_^ | ||

Effort is definately going to be a top notch zerg, and you can only expect Flash to be great as well. Mark my words though, Effort WILL BE a top 5 zerg by the end of this year. It was nice seeing someone use my namesake to such a beautiful degree. He played hyper aggresive with strong macro. I loved it. Brought back memories of IdrA using it | ||
