EPTThat said, he does seem to make mistakes when he goes on tilt. Like after being double rax Marine-SCV all inned followed by double Banshee cheese and losing to Maker, he scouts blue flame coming and doesn't block his ramp or make Roaches when they match up again; he sees that there's 2 Factories, one with a Tech Lab, and his response is 1 Spine Crawler and starting his Spire. He then loses to 6 blue flame Hellions.

But I must say that IdrA should have tried to abuse the DeathWall's weakness; It's immobility. I think it was too late he was under a hard contain so he couldn't just go anywhere without getting stopped, the Studio even had the sky covered. I still think GOM is OP and could probably use a nerf. | ||

Like "Hey, i met idra on ladder and insulted him because, you know, all the kool kidz are doing it". I know he is not the most mannered player but is obnoxious to see how the same people that label him as a bm guy also cheer for the ones that blatantly provoke him. After Cruncher lost to IdrA he got teamed against a Terran called Namchir or something, who said "Its fun to rape IdrA"... >.< | ||

He then loses to 6 blue flame Hellions. I think he relies too heavily on his mechanics to help him "counter" units using their counter. Like, for example, countering Hellions with lings. He can do this 80%+ of the time, but the 20% seem like really dumb losses. On the other hand, if he defends with only lings without making spines, he is really far ahead. It is kinda of a gamble, but he relies on his mechanics, so he tries it almost always. I think he should play safer, he is mechanically better than 99,99%+ of players, he shouldn't take risks. Use roaches against hellions, build extra queens for anti-banshee, build spore crawlers in the front for anti-DT defense and stuff! A heavy example of this is FXOSheth and him fighting for the 1st spot on GrandMasters. FXOSheth is a phenomenal player. But if you watch his stream you will know that Idra has 50% more APM than him, and is mechanically better, missing less injects and controlling his armies better and stuff. BUT, still, Sheth seems to be having a little bit more success than him. Because he plays safer, I think. | ||

IdrA doesn't actually win anything by playing that last match... all he can do is prevent his opponent from winning it. IdrA posted a tweet a while ago saying how it felt dirty to play the match solely to prevent someone from getting a cool laptop | ||
