Be careful, guys. I don't really want to moderate fanclub threads -_-

If zerg QQ offends you, you probably shouldn't have come to the Idra Fanclub in the first place, now should you?

Yea, the force fields were very powerful in that second game, but if Idra just doom drops in the main, he bypasses all force fields and takes out half production, most likely turning into a win. And first game I don't understand why he didn't target the forge after the first cannon. Don't think he played to his full potential those games.

TBH I don't think IdrA is practicing a whole lot right now, I actually have the feeling he doesn't practice anywhere near as much as people think.

Wish he did, he'd actually be a lot better than he is now :/ . Just my 0.02, but it doesn't seem like he practices much these days unless it was a couple weeks before a big tournament.

I didn't come into this thread to flame/troll/antagonize. I did poorly on that third part (nods to motbob), but all my points have been valid, haven't they?

I came because I knew there would be people complaining about imba, and merely pointed out critical mistakes in Idra's play. His micro was not perfect, and too many people concentrated on "He has a 50 food lead!" to consider of other aspects of the match. SC2 is not a food race. If people get riled up over my pokes at Idra's play in a fanclub thread that and I get (temp)banned... well shucks. I'll try not to disturb the hive.

I like Zerg; Destiny is one of my favorite players. But I can't abide statements like "Spam forcefields counters Zerg T3", which is blatantly false.
I went from bronze to platinum in 3 awesome days.

good luck on your personal crusade to cleanse the forums of balance whine and false statements, I suppose...

Does that mean i can go to Naniwa fanclub and qq about how week protoss is and zerg is not ?(Im not saying that that is the situation btw)
Because it seems to me that ur allowing people to whine about balance with no consequences in here.

the first part of his post indicates the opposite: if the whine becomes too much, consequences will be applied

It's a shame. I watched this series a week ago and knew what the reaction would be.

It's interesting how shitty 15 brood lords are without ground units to support them, but they cost so much gas that idra was at like 2000/0 when he attack came and couldn't even afford roaches to defend the brood lords

hope to see idra rock MLG.

win or lose he always manages to bring epic games




+ Show Spoiler [StarsWars tournament] +

Game 2: Metalopolis
xiaOt was really good, he kept trying to scout in one direction with his group of blink stalkers to spot any attacks coming; with blink you can get away pretty easily. Back at his base, between his natural expansion and 3rd base, he kept sentries / immortals to forcefield against any counter attacks while his blink stalkers were scouting any attacks coming from the other side.

xiaOt also individually targets idra's infestors with his collosi in that huge battle near the protoss 3rd base. Losing 4 - 5 infestors there was really crucial, after that he couldn't really stop his broodlords that were incoming from dying to blink.

One thing to consider during these games is the delay or lag. I assume it's played on the chinese or korean server, not the north american server.

The first game though ... not much to say. Idra is convinced that zerg has no chance vs a nexus first protoss, so every time i see that vs idra I know a roach / ling all in is coming. I didn't think xiaOt would be able to stop it, but he did somehow.



Has idra given a more detailed explanation of his thoughts on protoss in general? Does he think at some point of skill protoss will always beat zerg, or is his view that zerg just has to play much better to beat protoss? I mean, I assume there's a skill cap somewhere here ... if idra the protoss vs idra the zerg somehow happened without the universe imploding, would idra the protoss win every single time?

Oh, I agree completely! Idra was ahead, and by quite a bit.

He just did nothing with his food advantage and allowed Toss to max out. This was a crucial mistake and renders the previous food advantage completely pointless.

He did nothing because he couldnt, because of 15 sentries can't you understand that?

/facepalm

He tried to attack he just kept getting FFed back and loosing units >_<

To clear up any misunderstandings: Game 1 was played on the CHN server, Game 2 on the NA server, so they both had to deal with lag. It's a good system, I think, as it pretty much gives both players home server advantage at least once. I'm not sure what they would've done had it gone onto a Game 3. Neutral server?

Err, but you don't really want to attack into a protoss army with forcefields.
I don't think sacrificing an army just to damage his is a better solution then building up your tech/pooled resources, and trying to remax on a good comp to beat it.
