I just saw Idra play Silver and lose twice. Christ does he rage like a little kid. You'd think if he was so pro he wouldn't need to abuse his opponent in chat. And for crying out loud just play terran if they're so bloody op. How arrogant is he to sit there inside a nerfed race and bitch that people beat him because they picked a better race. Such a douche.

You got it backwards. I've never actually played BW online. Reapers actually take quite a long time(40s each) to build, and if you scout a tech lab on T's first rax, you should probably assume reapers and if you scout double gas, probably assume mass reapers. At this point, just stop droning altogether(you can pump a LOT of lings on relatively few drones), get an extra queen if possible and get ling speed asap. If it was a very fast rax, 11 or lower supply, he'll probably get a few drone kills and wipe out most of your zerglings, but if you micro reasonably well the economic hit you take should be equivalent to what T has suffered from opting for early harass instead of macro. Delayed reapers shouldn't cause much problem if you're one basing, as you probably went gas first anyway and should have speed in time to deal with it. If you're 2 basing you'll probably suffer a bit of a hit to economy, but you'll be able to make more queens and the extra larva the second hatch provide mean you'll be able to keep your queens in good defensive positions and drop creep tumours rather than having to worry about spawning larva constantly. Once you hold off the attack you'll have an extra base to make up for any economic damage you suffered. Please correct me if I'm wrong about any of this. If he does Mass Reapers, the Terran takes no economic damage and denies your fast expansion. He can either switch to a Marauder all-in or take a fast expand himself. 2 Base Terran > 1 Base Zerg by a large margin.

I just looked one replay of him vs drewbie and Idra acted like a little 11 year old kiddie; he was constantly flaming the other player and whining how OP terrans are (and always were). Seems like he really has some manner problems. What a nerdy retard
You come to a IdrA fanclub and call him a retard...
You claim he always said Terran was OP and call him a retard...also, drewbie agreed that Terran was OP.
Please...just get out of this thread. lol

So, let me get this straight.. Your logic is, if terran is op, that the 30% or so who play zerg, should just give in and play terran. Okay, so then we get somewhere in the range of 70-30 Terran/Toss ratio. Blizzard sees no one plays zerg, they buff them in order to get players back to the race. Zerg players return and are now "OP" and other races start to complain. The cycle restarts.
I do not understand how people can honestly say anything about someone raging, when they come to the forum boards and bad mouth a player. Why do you care how someone plays or what someone does during their gameplay? No one is forcing you to watch the player or his replays.
No one can honestly say they have played a game, be it FPS RTS MMO RPG whatever. And has not got frustrated or angry at it/what happens. It part of human nature to have emotions and some people are more vocal/expressive of these emotions.
So instead of being a douche and coming on the forums and complaining, realize your doing the exact same thing.

If this kind of flaming would happen in the TLO fan thread or another fan thread the mods would just delete those posts i think.
Why come to a FAN thread and start to flame or just voice your dislike to people who obviously don't care about your oppinion of said player?
Of course you have every right to state it, but if you do please do it in a civilized manner.
Thank you

I think we need a better chairman for the IdrA fanclub

Yep. Obvious bias is present.

IdrA really should start his own stream, but he would probably take it down 20 minutes later :[
a replay pack of some of his random ladder matches would be awesome though.
Even if it only contains his wins.
I have a theory on why all of his released replays contain BM, it's because it makes the game a bit more special and entertaining to watch. I don't think IdrA releases his own replays, because he's a professional, so he probably doesn't care. So his opponents will release the replay with the BM in it when they win. I've never seen him being verbally BM in tournaments.

IMO this replay shows everything that's good and bad with Idra. Awesome player. Cero social skills.
Tbh I understand his rage a bit . He outresources Drewbie the entire game yet his massive 200/200 army needs two t3.5 units to even dent the MMM-thor ball. Imo this replay shows everything that's wrong in TvZ. Due to pathing and critical mass firepower mechanics, basic Terran units are just so ridiculously much more cost-effective than anything Zerg can field that they allow an outmacroed player like Drewbie to hold off Idra way longer than he should. Combine cost-effectiveness with dirt-easy macro mechanics that increase income regardless of mining bases or worker count, and you see why we have a problem.

Idra is the best and he'll never be defeated. long live.

Heh.
Always entertaining, I for one am a fan.
Do I aspire to have the same bm? No.
Do I find it funny as hell to watch? Certainly.

He can either switch to a Marauder all-in or take a fast expand himself. 2 Base Terran > 1 Base Zerg by a large margin. I think you can get away with a FE vs mass reapers on some maps. If you don't agree, just cancel your expo as soon as you see the rax with tech lab. All you have to do is survive long enough to get ling speed without losing too much stuff. Once you have a good amount of speedlings(I'd estimate about 3:1) reapers are elementary to deal with without even all that much micro. The fact is, FE builds carry inherent risk to early aggression. That's not a weakess of zerg, it's just how the game works.
Idras raging is funny, sure. But applauding someone for insulting another player is douchefaggotry. If you're good enough to go toe to toe with idra with ANY race, you're a brilliant player and deserve at least moderate respect.

Yeah hi. Is this where we sign up for rage quitting tips?

Count me in. BM or not he is still a solid player.

The thing that many zerg player apparently dont understand is that Drewbie cant take more expansions. The way the game should be made if it is to be balanced then terrans units has to be stronger than the zerg units because zerg always has map control and can take 1000 expansions. Look at the way Drewbie played, as a turtling terran you cant play differently, and you will still lose. Turtlings terrans are right now kind of underpowered, while the timing push vs zerg is overpowered (pushing before zerg gets ultras is overpowered).

Ummm, you can take more expansions as mech, you just need to know how to expand. If you expand slowly toward your opponent, they can't do anything about it. Look at Jinro versus Lalush from one of the Day[9] dailies. Jinro was expanding toward Lalush's main base and Lalush actually build all of tech structures on a different expansion when Jinro was razing his main.
Has IdrA been doing any tournaments? They have too many to follow, can anyone fill me in?
