I am of the completely same opinion, however, I think that IdrA may lose to MMA because MMA constantly does those dbl medivac drop rushes. He also has very solid tvz It wont be easy, but IDRA FIGHTINNNGG | ||

My concern is that MMA will watch IdrA's recent losses against Thorzain and DDE and come to the conclusion that early rushes are the biggest holes in IdrA's ZvT right now.  But this pretty much is the only way to beat him. You gotta be aggressive from 5 to 8 minutes in and he usually gets the loss. From watching his stream, this seems to be most of his losses. He doesn't lose too many straight up macro matches. Then again he doesn't lose much in general but the early aggression/cheese works better then straight up. | ||

I've also never personally seen a sensor tower get thrown down at the front of a terran push like in the Thorzain series game 1. It completely killed any element of surprise IdrA could have used, and seemed to make a push that IdrA usually crushes into a game-ending one. If people begin to do this a little more, how exactly does IdrA move in on a sieged up force? (p.s. correct me if I'm wrong on the importance of that tower) | ||

He went 15 pool 15 gas 14 pool which is a little greedy on Xel'Naga IMO. | ||

Idra while probably the best foreign zerg does have some weaknesses- he is very greedy. Some strong pushes can kill him just like DDE also showed and now thorzain. Well when Thorzain himself says the series was a bit iffy on Idra's side of things I think people arguing the 'not trying' stuff do have a leg to stand on. In the end the games were a massive buzz kill and did not display top play from either player. | ||

I mean if he plays thorzain again, he'll be down two games? I'm not sure if he was trying or not, but if he wasn't I think that rule my come back to bite him. Bracket: http://s3.majorleaguegaming.com/2011-columbus-starcraft2-champ.html# Thorzain's bracket will mean he faces MC before potentially facing Idra. Due to Thorzain's previous 2-0 loss to MC, the extended series rule will mean MC will be up 2-0 in a Bo7. Assuming Thorzain wins the two Bo3s to get to MC (which is likely), defeating MC 4-0 or 4-1 seems to be very unlikely. Besides - Idra is facing MMA and this match is more important, why give away vT strats in a game that isn't as vital? I don't know if Idra was actually trying or not but I think "not trying" is a perfectly rational decision. | ||
