"This is what happens when bad players all in good players" - idra after finally holding an all in from Grubby.
I was, really idra? Really? You did not even scout it to make one crawler and you call yourself good? You had an all in at your door with a pylon set up and you did not even know it was coming until Grubby started to push in at your expand.
After watching DRG and Stephano in HOTS I was blown away how bad idra plays and how stubborn he actually is. Also, it is never his fault for losing but the "fucking imbecile" opponent's fault for being op.

Its always nice to see new idra fans! Welcome to his fanclub bro.
And i can understand that he is getting frustrated with all those all ins from grubby, cos idra is playing ladder for practice not for winning like grubby. And i think idra is legitimated to say grubby is bad, since grubby has lost every real game against him.

Obviously you havent seen the games, but i think those longer games determine your skill level much better than all ins.

I have been a fan since the start of SCII. I always admired his injects, they were spot on. The last few times I caught his stream, his queens were swimming in energy. That was the case when he lost 6 times to Grubby as well. Is it because its "just ladder"?

That's quite an ignorant statement. He is clearly talking about the games that "matter"... From the tournaments... Idra has always defeated Grubby with a clean sweap most of the time... I don't wanna take anything away from Grubby as he is also a great player...
To be honest, al the games that Grubby won, where mostly 3 base/2 base all ins against Idra as that is clearly Idra's weakpoint against Protoss. And the games that Idra has won where mostly the macro/late style games, where Idra was in control of the game. They are both great players, I just don't like how the Grubby fanboys are suddenly in the fanclub of idra starting a bitchfight by bashing him.
Know your place, and know how to behave.

i think he has lost his motivation to play against grubby since he is playing against him like 20times/day and every time grubby all ins. No wonder if his focus might slip a bit.
And like aocowns says, commentating also makes your focus worse.

I dunno, Idra's injects have never been close to perfect as long as I can recall at least. There is the commentary factor though, no player is able to play at his very best while still commentating his own play and doing analysis. There is also the frustration of losing to silly all ins again and again

Leefa you forget that perhaps Grubby is practicing all-ins against zergs, especially zergs who usually lose to them. Whatever a person may think about all-ins, they are a part of the game. And determine just as much skill as any other strategy. IdrA is just using the "lol all-ins so lame and noob"-excuse to boost his own ego, and to make his fans go "Omg idra so cool, speaking the truth! Not caring what people think about him! Yeah everyone is trash except him!" because that is what makes him earn money.
As for Gregs current skill, he looks promising in HotS... but i guess we will have to wait for the tournaments to start up again before we sing hallelujah the gracken is back.

I didn't watch the stream, so I'm not going to comment on the actual games, but I think the skill floor (not skill ceiling) on all-inning is a lot higher than on standard play. What I mean by that if another player is better than you in every way, your best shot is to all-in, in many cases I would say do a coinflip, because your chances are a lot better of beating him/her - because allins do not take as much skill to pull off. That being said, IdrA is a good player, Grubby is a good player, but I disagree that allinning determine as much skill as any other strategy. I actually think allins proves the skill of the opponent more if he holds it, but not as much if he doesn't.
As for the games and the situation that apprently occured, but a lot of the shit that you have been able to do in HotS have obviously been imbalanced. I don't know if this played a factor in any of these games but I guess it could be considered abuse.
So if IdrA was right or wrong in his statement - I don't know. But I disagree with yours.
EDIT: Also, tradition says that grack is back is never too early to sing.

To be fair, while I agree mixing in an all-in in a best of x or even in continuous ladder games is fine, but consistently doing it game in game out is both stale, creates boring matches for your viewers and very insulting. It also just means each ladder game is going to be a coin flip, which doesn't really help either player if their motivation for ladder is practice.
I also agree with the aspect that CERTAIN all-ins require a large amount of degree to execute (ie marine/scv - anything micro oriented) and also a large amount of skill to hold if unscouted or unexpected.
|
Keep in mind that its not hard to play greedy in the early game and enter the mid/late game with a huge advantage if your opponent did not all in you. The trick is to play safe and be able to hold the possible allin if it happens. And no I am not trying say that idrA is bad, he just needs to sort out his build orders instead of rejecting the fact that something is wrong with his play and calling everyone who is aggresive and idiot.

DAT 60 FPS stream of Idra, Damnnn looks sick

In the early stages of SC2, Zerg was much more swarm-esque, focusing on large numbers of low tier units, like Roach Hydra Corruptor as a standard comp. Now the metagame is higher tier, higher supply, higher gas units with better survivability as to focus on unit retention and effective trading (Infestor, Broodlord, Swarm Host, etc). Injects are no longer the most crucial thing past the ~15 minute mark, because players expand enough and build enough macro hatches they have enough larvae anyways.

Let's not kid ourselves
The days when idra wins is when his mouse is precise and his injects are swift
The other days are when hes hovering 150 energy and dies with money in the bank

I hope IdrA stomps the ever living shit out of pucK in this game they're playing on stream right now......

Idra is a pro player, why does he lose so often in ladder?
