The funny thing is that I felt NonY really summarised IdrA's gripe with the current metagame fairly well:

IdrA wants to win the games he thinks he should win because he is the best macro player in the world. So if someone cheeses or does a timing attack he is fine with being behind, he just wans to be able to catch up to them due to his superior mechanics and macro and destroy them. Which is something he feels he is not able to in a lot of games, so he either has to coinflip and do early agression or get killed in the lategame. And IdrA thinks that's not very good game design, if skill sometimes can't beat luck or risky strategies. Which is something everyone can argue about, of course, but that's his point of view and that's how he says, acts, and plays.


And then NonY really failed in the EG vs TL discussion, which I thought was a complete 180 from the way he behaved previously. But that's ok, you could see he regretted it immediately when the discussion shifted, and I felt he kind of apologised later on when he was talking about his embarassing moments and how he lets his rage get the better of him a lot, especially concerning TL.

So I think that was a very intresting State of the Game indeed, it's only too bad that a lot of people seemingly did not catch all the nuances. Also, the uncomfortable laughter when IdrA jokes about being so much better than anyone else is really funny. He is half-joking you know, you can see it in his smile. Don't take him at pure face value. He's not that simple of a man.

"normally he streams in about 2.5-4 hours from now and turns it off/on till it is time for his bed time."

It is mostly keeping an eye out for him though, as it is largely unpredictable. Have twitter send phone notifications when idra tweets. that is how i find out he is streaming haha
