It's the name he registered at mlg with. You can take whatever name you want so I assume somebody took EGidra before. When he registered he possibly wasn't even a member of EG. Looks a bit stupid though. I believe idrA vs MMA is going to be really hard. Anybody who saw MMA vs Sheth knows how Sheth got absolutely destroyed and what nasty TvZ MMA plays. We all know that idrA is a much better Zerg than Sheth but these multipronged drops are still horrible and a pain in the ass to deal with. But then again I remember games like the epic ladder match idrA vs MVP where MVP just dropped him at 15 bizillion places at ones. I'm just afraid idrA can't play his normal super fast muta build all game long. | ||

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) That sensor tower was a very smart choise considering how good idra is at picking off stray units with his mutas. | ||

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. This is exactly what happened. | ||

I just saw that someone on reddit has made a compilation: http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/hs20b/mlgcollinks_to_day_2_vods/ Looks to be all the major games. You can navigate the red and blue stream by using the following links: http://testmlg-f.akamaihd.net/SCb_HD_2500@58515?v=1.0.8.10&fp=WIN 10,3,181,14&r=YNLOF&g=IGKCSKHBULKJ&seek=X http://testmlg-f.akamaihd.net/SCa_HD_2500@58515?v=1.0.8.10&fp=WIN 10,3,181,14&r=EMXQM&g=BMFRVLGOEVVV&seek=X where you replace X by the number of seconds into the broadcast you want to go (found this tip at http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/hs12n/mlg_please_let_me_navigate_around_the_restream/c1xvddw) | ||

Not trying at an MLG main stage with even a faint possibility of being at disadvantage in a future extended series is very far from rational. :p | ||

Are you serious? Idra's vT doesn't have a whole lot of variable strategies, so 'not trying' against Thorzain is a retarded motion. He does almost the same thing every game, and changes it in regards to the match and player at any given time. Therefore, playing well against Thorzain wouldn't mean MMA could look at those strategies and apply them to himself, since it wouldn't even work. From what I've seen, he does ling/bling/muta to open, and then goes infestor/broodlord in the lategame, which is what everyone already knows, so I don't see how he'd be hiding any strategies. Plus there is always the chance that he could face Thorzain again in an extended series (even though it is unlikely), which I think is more threatening than showing some imaginary new vT strategies to MMA. | ||

He's been known to just not try on games he doesn't think are as important. Of course he'd like to win, but if he really wants to beat an opponent, then that's when we see him diversify his play and generally be less passive. | ||

I thought IdrA played well against Thorzain up until the push. The a-move into the seige tank army which killed all the hellions just stank of laziness and I'm sure IdrA could have dealt with it better. | ||

Thorzain made thors AND sensor towers. IdrA couldn't do shit with his muta ball and thorzain never lost many tanks so idra could not break the siege line outside his base. This is the PROPER way to play terran,not herpderp make 3/3 marine/tanks only and try to kill zerg with infestor/muta. | ||

However, I think that it made Idra more nervous than it should have and prompted the attack which costed him the game.

Ghosts are probably slightly overpowered in the lategame considering how strong EMP and Snipe is. | ||
