Oh well, feel sad for idra letting his mind take the best of him once again.

Naniwa beating mc made my week though i think.

I thought he said, he doesn't tilt after something like that, only the casters are making the impression, that he tilts.

And I really hope that Naniwa takes the 1st place.

IPL and MLG Anaheim. As pissed of as I am the way he lost, I'm actually very happy he made it this far anyway. He played better than DreamHack and he seems to somewhat improve in some areas. He's not leaving the games as quick as he used to and his unit control has gotten somewhat better, at least against Protoss. A few things from the looks that he still needs to work on. He's still losing to 2-rax Bunker rushes, which in my opinion he shouldn't be losing to, and the Banshee/Hellion push from Terran. But overall top6, I'd say he did a good job.

not to mention that once again he was the top zerg in the tournament, and survived the most as zerg against alot of very good players.

IMO thats an achievement alone.

Idra is pretty much always the last Zerg alive in major tournaments and is third only to NesTea and LosirA. He loses every ZvZ to Zenio, but 1) who doesn't? 2) Zenio is weak vT/P while Idra isn't nearly as weak.

Idra's consistent for his tournament showing because he always makes it to group play and usually lands ro4/8, that's not a very easy feat.

If people call IdrA bad, then EVERY other NA Zerg is pretty much worthless.

Citing that W/L chart for Idra, does any other NA/EU Zerg have anything remotely close to that sort of W/L?

L 0-2 Zenio

Idra also lost to Sen and Xiaot 0-2, but I don't know enough about the Taiwan and Chinese scenes to group those players in with Korean or foreigners.

He still has a decisively winning record against huk and when you only play some of the best koreans without having the luxury of playing players like younghwa, Junwi, curious, aLive etc to boost your record of course it will look bad. Zenio is a top 3 ZvZer in the world and the rest except huk are all great.

I really shouldn't look up IdrA results in this thread anymore, for the games I missed.

"xD vs tarson eZmode win, IdrA vs MC next!!!!1"

*hopes*
*next page*

"Baaaaw he lost, because a bo3 is more than just the first game"

i think he was already planning against MC and underestimated Tarson.
I think his overlord also saw the Bunker 2 late iirc?
