How do you play against what Demuslim did? Basically Marine/Medivac/Hellbats. Greg seemed to have a good lead.
I don't think there's any one way to deal with Terran Marine-Mine-Medivac or Marine-Hellbat-Medivac (or any combination of Bio with Mine and Hellbat) right now. Especially on Whirlwind, drops can be abused so easily, and Zerg often has to play so defensively, while taking cost-inefficient fights. Terran can often pressure, while still playing greedily and expanding with Planetaries and Mines, which makes it so hard for Zerg to keep up since they're constantly forced to take bad engagements. Terran compositions now are also cheap and quick to reproduce. It's just really hard.
A lot of players now are going Ling-Bling-Muta and going into Ultra, which I do like. Roach-Hydra is strong, but you'll get dropped on badly and it's an incredibly slow and supply-inefficient army. I'm not sure if many players are using this composition much anymore. Many Zergs try to do Roach, Ling, and/or Bling pressure early on to punish 3cc, which can do good damage.

What did Demuslim say on stream? Edited out "When did this happen?" Pretty sure I know when just never knew what was said. http://www.twitch.tv/demuslim/b/394370139At about 1 hour, 5 minutes - and then sporadically through this vod. The community went nuts over this almost a month ago. After playing a few games, Demuslim tells streamers that he is better than IdrA and that IdrA needed to get used to it. He also says that he would "literally gift him wins to reduce tension" in the house. He promised his stream viewers that if he topped 10k concurrent viewership that he would do hellbat drops on IdrA, so IdrA just started leaving the games because Demuslim was just trolling him on stream instead of playing real games. Basically, Demuslim revealed to the community that they didn't like one another and said some kind of nasty things about their relationship - things that IdrA had kept private and didn't let the community know about. What a precious world you live in when building hellbats is seen as malicious trolling.
What? Hellbats may be good, but Demuslim was absolutely trolling him. When someone says that they'll "Hellbat the fuck out of you at 10k viewers," while sniping your stream, they're not really trying to play practice games, buddy. And most of those viewers came because of the other drama with IdrA and the comments Demuslim made. He was clearly trying to provoke IdrA and fuck with him.

i think it would be great if idra made some kinde of video-series about his terran practice (like starting a new race "from scratch") with the occasional stream-practice and just to see him practicing with his train of thoughts behind... but i guess he wont do it (probably because the stupid people in this community would yell at him for not winning every game with "imba terran"...)

Loving the stream Idra, lots of information and sharing your thought whilst playing. Cant wait to see you play Terran a little bit, that should be fun

Dear Idra,
Many many pictures of text penises (peni, not sure what is the correct plural term here) in your chat. Please mod 4-5 more users.
Thanks,

To add to this, he said he'd start streaming his Terran when he was around GM level with it.

Finally! Thank you! I never knew what happened, I just saw all of Demuslims viewers so thought something good must be going on.
Edit: I stopped after that first game, not sure if there is more later but it seemed like he said "doesn't matter I am much better than him and he has to get used to it" in jest, especially by the way he was smiling after. Surprised something like that blew up so bad as it just seemed like friendly competitive team banter even though he did hint at some hostility when playing him. I really think he didn't say that as fact, but more as a joke with such a big smile at the end, but what ever, it's all past now.

Sub only which gets auto activated at around 8K or more users seems the solution that I like the most

I think streamers should take responsibility for their twitch chat and it should be unacceptable to leave your chat unmodded allowing trolls to drive out others.

IdrA on stream "We did a bit more damage. That's good. When we let him get comfortable, he starts making terran units. And that's what we're trying to avoid. The less terran units he has, the better our chances at winning."

Oh also, I forgot to mention I'd like to be added to the club. Idra all the way.

Sorry if this has already been asked, but has IdrA made any definitive statements about whether he'll be dropping his spot in the WCS AM Challenger league? I know he wants to quit competitive gaming, but cummon. One more hurrah?

I dont think he's actually said anything about it but during the broadcast today they showed the schedule and still have IdrA vs puCK listed as the last match for tomorrow so I guess we'll find out

Honestly, IdrA looks happy in Meta. I think IdrA's motivation and satisfaction has greatly increased these past few days. I'm happy.

I've never been a huge fan of Idra, but I would have to agree with you. I watch his stream occasionally, and he seems happier now. He seems happy, and almost carefree in Meta. I hope things go well for him.
