If you don't like Idra or the way he treats opponents, don't cast his games, both of them get all excited and giggly when Idra talks in games or when a player doesn't gg. I guess it's understandable that the drama is far more exciting to them than the game itself since they don't ever really know what's going on at any given point in a game. But I can't believe this guy has the audacity to leech attention directly from Idra games and in the same breath pass judgement on him. | ||

Do not FE vs T on LT, they can cliff abuse you with tanks. If you see 2 Thors or more, stop making Mutas and invest into a lot of Roaches. Yet Idra does none of that, and refuses to adapt acting like a stubborn little kid and then QQ and rages when those two games he could have won if he just adapted. this whole post pretty much proves how little you know about zvt but im going to pretty much set you straight on what I bolded you CAN FE on LT... IF you build 3 spine crawlers on cliff side as soon as you start lair tech (if you're 100% sure hes cliff dropping) then begin drop tech as soon as lair is up you wont lose anything except the 3 crawlers which buy just enough time for drop to finish and as a bonus... you might end it RIGHT THERE with a counter drop idra was clearly tilted... he was too busy raging and bming that he basically missed the timing window completely it happens... especially when your mind is elsewhere during a game also, if you outmine terran on gas (2:1.. which is a very common scenario) you can still beat thor with mutas.... easily press STOP above thor.. they spread once you reach a critical mass of mutas you can insta rape thors with micro+spread and if he overbuilds thor+marine you can overrun him with ling/baneling watch check play if you want more information... | ||

I want to like you, I really do. You're a lone American hope in strange land, fighting for the stars and stripes on foreign soil. I would delight in screaming "USA USA USA" every time you trounce a Korean or Euro. That being said, please stop embarrassing us by acting like a colossal tool. While you persist in acting like a spoiled 2 year-old I cannot in good conscience support you. You have shown that you can display the occasional flash of brilliance, as we saw in your game 1 against White-Ra in the HDH or your play in the King of the Beta. I believe that you can be among the best, but do you? Stop flaming anyone who beats you and work on fixing your terribly predictable play. I've got my IdrA sign all ready to wave at events (you're going to be at Blizzcon, right?) and I hate to see it collecting dust in the corner. -Darkside | ||

They cast those games because people want them to cast those games. Whether they like Idra or not has nothing to do with it. | ||

I can't watch his commentaries anymore because he says either incorrect stuff, or is extremely biased. Every IdrA game it's like he is just giggling hoping for IdrA to screw up and BM, then talk about how he shouldn't be such a bad sport. It's not a big deal if he doesn't gg. You don't need to spend 5 minutes talking about a god damn gg. That being said, I do appreciate what he does for the community and getting new people involved. I think the scrubs coming in an IdrA fanclub forum giving advice are the best though. IdrA doesn't care what you think. He isn't going to say, oh random gold league joe told me not to FE on Lost Temple, I think I should take his advice. Or, random joe gamer told me to be a better sportsman, I think I'm going to change the way I act. IdrA doesn't give a shit, he speaks his mind. Sometimes it's over the top (asking silver to apologize for playing terran), but most of the time it's funny. IdrA Fighting! | ||

Now the Terran either outranges the Spine Crawlers with the tank if he is doing all tank/no Marines cliff drop. It will stall time, which is good. But if they do a Marine/Tank drop, the Marines will deny Overlord vision and since you have slow Overlords, it is unlikely to have more than 2 trying to get vision. Or the Terran can retreat and do a decently effective Marine/Tank push because you have 3 out of place Crawlers and Marines will be pretty buff with a Medivac healing them. If you try to end it with a counter drop, it is all-in because you spent 450 Minerals on Spine Crawlers, 300/300 on early Overlord upgrades, and you're cutting drones to get an army to counter drop. also, if you outmine terran on gas (2:1.. which is a very common scenario) you can still beat thor with mutas.... easily press STOP above thor.. they spread once you reach a critical mass of mutas you can insta rape thors with micro+spread and if he overbuilds thor+marine you can overrun him with ling/baneling watch check play if you want more information... Once they get about 3-5 Thors, your Mutalisks will start being less and less effective. You're Mutalisks will eventually need to stack to kill Thors. It works little in the early game, (that is where resources are limited so it isn't a very effective method) but not in the late game. On August 07 2010 23:05 tangwhat wrote: Oh ok so he should go make roaches which can't actually hit the thors when he cliff drops, good idea yo. Also have you seen the HuK vs Silver replays? One replay in particular comes to mind, HuK vs Silver on Metalopolis, just watch that game and it will show just how "talented" Silver is, he doesn't scout, he doesn't scan, he goes for a retarded midgame and then attack moves his army and wins. Silver literally got by because his race is easy as shit. If you notice Silver doesn't "play smart", all he does is make units then push in the midgame and wins, he isn't actively thinking "oh this guy is great at macro, I better win earlygame!!" because his entire thought process revolves around "build marine tank, add some thors => fistpump". This is spot on. Everyone is saying Silver out played HuK and IdrA when he really just "build marine tank, add some thors => fistpump" | ||

noobs taking a couple games off him means absolutely shit, I'm sure some noobs have taken some games off other great players and nobody is making a giant fuss about it. Look at Idra's history (including Sc1) and then compare to masq or silver. Yeah, ok. It's pretty ridiculous that people will come spam whine even in this thread about his BM which his fans probably all enjoy. Way to waste your time and pollute the discussion. God forbid good SC players aren't all carebears and rainbows! | ||

You have plenty of time to react. ESPECIALLY IdrA v. Silver -- dude had tons of time to know what's up. EDIT: http://www.sc2rep.com/?s_race=zvt | ||

If that isnt hate I dont know what is. This thread is actually depressing, because the majority here like someone not because of his awesome Starcraft 2 playing skills, but rather because of the cloud of scandals surrounding him. People are "complaining" that they cant find replays of IdrA to watch and so my argument about not liking him for his gameplay seems somewhat valid. Being bad mannered and verbally abusing of others is definetely not cool. | ||

It's generally hard to find replays of good players. Some, like Arthosis, have posted replay packs and White-Ra has some of his replays uploaded on his site but most of the time we only get single replays every now and then. I'm guessing that the reason is that there are so many casters fighting for games to show - and you don't really want to upload something everyone else has seen already because the replay has been published. | ||
