I have been a fan of his throughout SC2. I watch his stream every time its on because I love watching him play. However, losing and then ragequiting and turning off the stream is not constructive. I've never watched husky, apart from his casting in the TSL3. I'm not trying to cause an uproar of hate against me. I actually really truly want Idra to continue to be the top-tier player he is and has been. However, I will not blindly say "AWW OP LETS QQ HURRAY." For people to get better it requires calmly looking at the situation and moving on by getting better. I hate watching Idra stream and then turning it off because someone canon-rushes him. Keep playing! People who like to watch him play don't think less of him because a canon-rush beat him once. You assume I'm talking purely about his match today in the TSL, but I'm not. It has been a theme, like I said, for a couple of weeks. I really, really want him to continue to be the top tier of Zerg, and I will continue to cheer for him in the future. This Stanlike comment is boring. I was a fan but... blablabla, get over it man, IdrA is IdrA. | ||

Holding F and clicking in a circle isn't exactly difficult. | ||

1. Being predictable 2. Playing blind as a result of bad scouting If he keeps thinking he loses due to imbalance than he will not be able to be one of the best players of the world. If he is capable of self criticism he might go back to the absolute elite. | ||

Please understand the game mechanics of zerg scouting before posting something like this. | ||

That's like saying "Maybe IdrA should take time off and study why other zergs are doing better and winning consistently while he is not." The thing is, they aren't. | ||

Not to mention the GSTL level players like LosirA, Min.. no issues there. | ||

Mondragon that won over the worst BO ever (and mondragon apparently always says he hasnt played in months before a tournament). Sen that one a game vs a teammate? Sen that couldnt do aswell as IdrA in GSL? (not bashing Sen he is awesome, but just trying to prove a point) Losira that just lost to a 4 gate in GSTL? And how can you mention Min? He won a game in GSTL and lost the next, suddenly he is the new zerg saviour with a 50% winrate? The thing is that ignorants keep saying IdrA should scout better etc. His scouting is prolly the best out there. He keeps sacking overlords to check the opponent, but considering the size of bases you can guarantee you get to see what you want to see. Ignorants also keep saying "why did he makes drones when an all in was coming"... I should not have to explain why that is stupid. Keep mentioning other zergs that has one a couple of games all you want, but you have no argument before these zergs get better overall results than IdrA on a consistent basis. | ||

Look up the vods, Zeerax was floating 1k minerals at times. | ||

Idra vs Cruncher was depressing to say the least. And the game was the definition of imbalance in 1.2 (whether 1.3 fixed anything is yet to be seen). Game 2 was great play by idra. Game 1 was great play by idra, outplaying his opponent on every turn.having 2x his upgrades. Remaxing 3x times at the end, and still couldn't take out the deathball (catching lone voids with corrupts, rebuilding them, loosing all again, rebuilding lings to try to stop it). Having whole map, with 95% covered in creep. vs Turtling Toss, with 2 entrances to his base...nothing he could do to trade armies before 200/200. Game3....demonstrated how broken FF are in early game. And Cruncher used FF even better then MC, imo. Isolating those 5-10 roaches into 1, unable to move or shoot, beautiful (yet broken ). Idra was fairly prepared for the push, couldn't do much more to prepare without sacrificing economy and loosing the same way he did in G1. | ||

Maybe an early switch to Broodlords? Game 2 was epic, total ownage. Game 3, I think IdrA could have done better. Hard to say what and where, that's just the feeling I got. Ofcourse it's hard when you can't scout and good forcefields are so powerfull. | ||

Cruncher had like 15 Void Rays, you can't make broodlords... he could have done like mondragon, mass roaches and drops when the Protoss have only few units. game 3 he could have backstabbed Cruncher with lings to delay his attack, gathering more roaches to defend. he shouldn't have engaged like he did with his initial roaches, you need to get the maximum number of roaches possible to engage and do it in the last second possible, still, to have a chance... lol | ||

Ofcourse it's hard when you can't scout and good forcefields are so powerfull. Considering Cruncher's strategy in game 1 and game 2 seemed to be the same, I think Idra should have just done all that dropping in game 1. Though it probably wouldn't have been as powerful on Shakuras to be fair. I do think he could've tried to spread protoss out more, but he actually did do a reasonable amount of damage with those roach busts. Game 3 confused the hell out of me. IdrA was so incredibly active about scouting but it just wasn't enough. I honestly don't see what else he could have done. | ||

The zerg race is in such good shape when we have results like that to throw out there to bash Idra | ||
