This game is not about mechanics and will never be, if he wants to outplay people with his mechanic then he has to quit sc2 and return in bw. It's all about outsmarting your opponent, try to take an advantage and secure it.


You really believe that? I'm pretty sure people said the same about bw especially when bigger maps first got introduced and people were saying its going to be imba for x race and turned out not to be.`

I wouldn't be surprised if in many years from now (after the 2 expansions) and the games "figured" out I would not be surprised if it went better mechanics and you'll win most of the time. Of course that might not ever happen and thats assuming the game is competitive for that long (which I pray to god I hope so). But yeah I can see you being wrong about it not ever happening ^_^.

There is one case where the mechanic could become very important, If the game evolve (with extensions and new units, new micro tricks or more harass based gameplay ) and become an intensive micro game. Because you know that the macro will never be a mechanic issue for the top lvl, the skill cap is too low in this area of the game at pro lvl.

Conclusion : We are far away from this state of the game, so i might be right for maybe 1 or 2 years

Have you guys ever just been in the fanclub forum, waited for 10-20 seconds, refreshed and watched the "Views" difference of the IdrA fanclub thread? And the absolute value in general? (And in relation to other fanclubs?)

Since tl.net can bee seen as a quite good represantation of interested sc2 fans, it seems like a good indicator of how interesting he actually is. (Of course judging only by the views of his fanclub thread is overly simplified, but I still think it is a valuable indicator.)

lol! so not only do they have an awful stream they don't enforce the rules. I was curious at the time if there was any rule about chatting and there you have it. Kind of lame nothing was done.

He should indeed be disqualified. MLG is nothing but the worst tournament out there at the moment.

I wouldn't say IdrA outplayed HuK in g2: his brood lord positioning was off a couple of times and he lost more than he should have had. With two more brood lords and two more corruptors, that last fight wouldn't even be close.

It's still a bit silly for Idra to leave without saying "gg" in g2, and then to have fans complaining about HuK's bad manner in g3 though! It's as if IdrA has a license to do these sort of things and you can't complain about them anymore.

e: And yeah, IdrA should definitely complain about HuK's rulebreaking.He can easily attest to having been affected by HuK's comment in g3, making him lose focus and such. I think it's silly to disallow chat myself, but it is clearly stated in the rules, so it would be fair in that sense.

I'm pretty sure the LOL actually was a reaction to the "fuck off".

You guys who are all up in arms about HuK's "BM" - are you forgetting what IdrA said to CrunCher after game 2 of their TSL series?

If you think HuK was childish, then you must think the same of IdrA, right?

Come ON guys. IdrA is BM to people. People are BM to IdrA. Do you really think IdrA gets all pissy when someone BM's him? Of course not, so why should we?

Many of you arent doing Greg a favour by always finding excuses, loopholes and ways he can get wins (Lets DQ Huk guys!!) when that is not the root of the problem and it wont help him become better.

He seems like the most fragile player in the world and so easy to upset, for a "BM King" when the reverse happens he seems to buckle down under pressure and lose it.

I hope iNcontrol or someone at EG grabs him and simply lays it down on him. If you truly want this guy to become the best he needs to desperatly improve his mentality, which seems made of glass at this point.

No one is saying huk was childish (no one with any sense). We are saying rules are rules MLG should enforce them whether or not idra replying counteracts the rule and they allow game to just go on is fine. Just MLG should enforce rules.

We also need to stop letting all the psychologists into this thread. I didn't know we had that many people who knew so much about how to observe someones mental state from reactions within a game.

Hope idra can continue on and do really well in the rest of the tournament. good luck to him.

I didn't say mechanics are not part of the game or he isn't smart. Obviously Idra is a great player no doubt about that. But at pro lvl, everybody has great mechanics (in sc2) and game sens.

But in sc2 with the actual state of the game you cannot think i'm gonna beat X top player player with my flawless mechanics, it's just completely wrong, the game has not a huge skill ceiling, so you have to find other ways to win against top players and not just ima outmacro him or outmultitask him, etc.

It could be true with a game with huge skill cap like bw, but not in sc2. So i think if Idra wants to become the top of the top he has to more analyse the players he faces, identify their style and weakness and prepare for it and not just think he can beat them with pure skill, game sens, etc.

he has to change his mindset.

I feel bad for IdrA; it was pretty inevitable that his attitude would lead to something like this eventually, I know he's by far the better player though. Tough break Greg, knock him out of the park tomorrow

I am a huge Idra fan but sometimes I get really confused by the attitude of some of you guys here. Basicly, Idra is allowed to talk shit about everyone, but you are never ever allowed to talk shit when you play him, especially after he said so many times that he thinks Huk is a terrible player etc?

Idra should get the mental blockade of ZvP out of his head and start using his skill. He was winning the second game and he was in HuK's face all the time. Idra just tilts when he sees the deathball and he stops thinking. The Broodlord + ling+ infestor combo was beautiful. Idra you are the most entertaining zerg to watch, by far. But the bad manners and unprofessional attitude will cost you games and fans in the long run. It is so much more intimidating to play an opponent who is cool as hell and never speaks than to play a game against a guy who tilts.
Being a ho doesn't automatically make you "immoral" or a bad person, but it does make you a ho.
