I am a little bit behind in news. Did IdrA travel to Korea to EG-Liquid team house? He is on the list of players but he didnt play any match and when i watched him streaming last time he was at Eg Lair. Demuslim was recently added to the list but he also didnt seem to move from Lair. So only Thorzain, Huk and Stephano really travelled to Korea ?

Idra has transitioned fully to Hots, and so he will remain in the EG Lair, at least until Proleague makes a switch

YES!!! Someone agrees with me that Idra a top 5, probably the best foreigner and will make a strong comeback in hots! everyone knows he has better mechanics, decision making, multitasking, and micro than any other foreign player out there, yes that includes the likes of stephano or vortix or scarlett.
He didn't get a GSL Code S Ro8 for nothing.
Let me preface this by saying that IdrA is my favorite player. However he does not have better decision making than Stephano. The rest can be argued. He is better than Vortix and Scarlett but as far as his current decision making is concerned he cannot compete with Stephano. Mechanics are probably comparable.
You have literally no idea what you're talking about. Stephano's macro is horrible. Why do you think he gets so many macro hatcheries every game. His injects are horrible. He's mentioned it in the past, it's a major flaw in his play, everyone knows it and everyone's fine with it. His decision making is questionable. Greg has mentioned it before, it's impossible to learn anything by watching Stephano play, he does random stuff without any scouting information. He's a very controversial player for that fact. Despite whatever he chooses to do, he executes it nearly perfectly. That's what makes him such a great player, he works with what he has really well. Greg is a whole different player. Comparing both is like comparing football to basketball. Last encounter IdrA won with superior decision making and overall macro.
That's why Idra walks away with all these thournaments and Stephano doesn't right, because he's on such a different level compared to Stephano.
This discussion is kind of ridicolous imo >__< I think Stephano is obviously better than Idra overall, as proven by his results, whereas Idra's ZvZ is stronger. I also think Stephano has slightly better mechanics than Idra, but that the gap is not even close to big enough to matter or have much impact on anything it seems to me
Remind me again, when did I say that IdrA was better than Stephano? First of all, learn to read. Second of all, I'm not arguing anything, I was correcting EmNGiantNome. Idra's mechanics are a lot better than Stephano's, period. You cannot argument that, at all. So please, think before you post.
Oh, I'm so sorry for thinking that the fact that you basically talked down on several aspects of Stephano's play while stroking Idra's play mean you believed Idra was better. Why would I EVER assume something like that because of what you wrote.
Correcting would mean you were 100% right, but you are not. ''Stephano's macro is horrible. Why do you think he gets so many macro hatcheries every game. His injects are horrible''. That's not a fact, that's ignorant
So please, stop implying that what you say is 100% correct, I seriously doubt you're qualified to analyze and decide which is better so effortlessly, based on a few games you've seen from each player

So you are saying stephano executes his builds nearly perfectly with bad mechanics and questionable decisionmaking? That sounds like near perfection.
That's a nice contradiction, thanks for pointing it out Lefaa So please, learn to argue before you post hurr durr
You say that I think i'm 100% correct. That is correct based on what my conception of proper macro and proper play is. It's an opinion. Everything everyone has been saying is their opinion. I'm purely stating mine. You're welcome to disagree, but you keep putting words in my mouth that have not come out of it, so stop it. One thing is saying outrageous things like stephano's macro is better than IdrA's, when it's well known that it is not. I exagerated when I said Stephano's macro was horrible, but inside of the pro scene, it is quite bad.
My main point was that you said you were correcting Gnome. So you're correcting him with your OPINIONS? Take a moment, and consider what's wrong with that.
I'm sorry, please point out where I put words in your mouth, I'm sure I didn't mean to

all of them
I would totally watch this. He isn't very emotional as a caster but a good analysist. The regular casters are really bad in explaining player's strategies or in predicting what they are going to do.

Proleague doesn't seem to cater to anyone outside Korea at all. There is no re-stream, apparently no English casters on set, ect...
