I don't think Idra had any upgrades. Huk had a slight harvester earlier in the game when he tried to 6 gate. Thats why. Its not just mistakes, its other things as well. | ||

So how the hell huk overproduced idra in units when protoss units are more expensive AND huk had better upgrades which means he spend more money on tech than idra did. Grack also had faster 3rd. loloolololloo idra WAS outproducing huk, its just how extremely cost effective vs lower tech units. | ||

A Protoss, a Zerg, and a Terran all starts upgrading at the same time. The Protoss always finishes first because they can travel faster in time. Savvy? | ||

IdrA was forced to cut drones and make units after scouting 6-7 gateways. Not making units would have been a gamble that would lose most of the time. | ||

We can only hope.. But IdrA can take Thorzain if he plays well. ZvT being his best matchup, hopefully he can take whoever wins down and keep moving on.  IdrA fighting!! | ||

HuK played great and used the tools at his disposal. IdrA didnt have the same tools. nothing in IdrA's play affected his upgrade count considering. at the end, both players still played great. IdrA just simply could not have kept up upgrade wise. he was dying for units as it was. he couldnt have possibly cut even more for those upgrades. | ||

Idra had to cut drones and do nothing but produce units and hes unable to hold this shit. inb4 hurr durr upgrades / infestor. Watch the Vod and check the gas. Its nice that protoss can 6 gate stalker only push and upgrade but if zerg cant defend without spending all gas all the time its fucking bullshit. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Every spine crawler costs not only minerals but a drone as well. Unless you have planned building them in advance and have prepared a drone, the cost is even higher than what you pay at the moment because it immediately lowers your income. Also, on this map they can't do well enough anyway. On June 26 2011 04:00 SENKi wrote: The thing is that both were on 3 bases, idra had workers lead.

Idra had more drones when Huk attacked BUT Huk had the worked lead for large portions of the game, which is why he had better tech. One of the worse coin flips zerg players have to face is on large maps, when the protoss player can open with a nexus, while the zerg has no idea what to react to. Idra prefers to be safe, so he goes for pool first, which means that he is behind on macro for the whole game. | ||

Idra had to get ling and roach speed, burrow, and pathogen glands, while constantly make more roaches than huk was losing stalkers. IdrA was also roach/ling, not pure roach. Only 1/2 of idras units were benefiting from his 1-0 upgrade. | ||

Probably 3 more times if he beats Tarson/Thorzaine, MC will probably beat stephano and then naniwa/huk in loser bracket finals and grand finals lol | ||
