afaik, he needs to get to ro32 to have a 100% chance of getting S class.
For making the ro64, he has, like, a 99.5% chance of getting S class.
Pretty much, somethings have to go majorly wrong in order for IdrA not to achieve Code S.

Great for him then.
The next two weeks are going to be the most important ones in Idra's career so far. ro64 in GSL, then Dreamhack, and then, hopefully, ro32 and ro16. I just hope that travelling doesn't affect him too much.

I hate do disappoint you guys, but Idra is not going to Dreamhack anymore. He could not get his GSL match rescheduled so he will not be going.

Ah that sucks, oh well.

Not sure whether this is good or bad news... It's probably for the best though.
P.S. Dreamhack's site still has him listed as a participant.
|
As much as I'd love to see IdrA play in both tournaments, it's definitely more important that he focus on the GSL. Even if he could reschedule his match, it would be too hectic a schedule to ensure he could give his 100% best at both tournaments.

Hi, we're GOM. We could have re-scheduled your match a day or TWO days earlier so you could participate in DreamHack. We didn't. But, we assure you, it is only due to our utter dedication to the promotion of E-sports both in Korea and abroad. Also, nobody in Europe knows who Idra is anyway, so lol! (Noburry knowrrs whoo Greey Freerz Irrz. hrr hrr hrr)
lol,
cynical reader

IdrA is back...ripping avilo a new asshole: (new quote)

Every high level TvZ is an aggro all-in, or gimmick in order to not go late game versus Zerg (back to early beta status).
Do not expect it to change. And do not expect Terrans to win even with this stuff. It's not just a trend - it was inevitable. After all of these nerfs to Terran, not addressing Zerg's late game macro, which always has been invincible...
Except in the era of tvz mech. That's when Zergs whined because they were mad Terran could actually play a late game management game and not automatically lose. Although, just as an aside, mech was imba back then. Anyways
Terrans basically already exhausted all of the options for attempting macro management play...to no avail. A management game versus Zerg in lategame is never an equal game.
Foxer made marines popular TvZ, sure, but what he really made popular (if you want to call it a "trend" or "metagame shift") is the mass early marines to make it so you don't have to go late game versus Zerg.
People say I whine and am "arrogant" in my balance analysis...but I'm pretty sure the people that haven't hopped on board the ZvT ANALYSIS wagon are the ones being arrogant now.
How can people looking at balance or GSL games honestly look at the games and assess that "pros can't macro lategame with Terran," or "Terran players are bad," or "this is all gimmicky stuff."
To all of those people I say - get over yourselves. You can pretend Zerg is as underpowered as you want or that mules are too good (LOL). But look at the fucking games.
Every Terran, even goddamn intotherainbow, is doing marine/scv all-in variations. These players are not stupid. They understand the state of the game.
So please, especially general forum SC2 posters, stop acting like the progamers don't know what they're doing, or, in the more funny posts, acting like Terran's are abusing some mystical strategy that is uber good!
It's not. At all. All of these scv/marine all-ins are to completely avoid lategame.
Expect more of them. ALOT MORE.
Good day!
and yes, I know I take a lot of flak for being outspoken on the boards about this stuff. That's fine. Bring it. But I wonder if people can manage to attack my arguments instead of me personally.
If you honestly feel Terran can compete with Zerg in a late game macro management game, I would be happy to see your arguments. I'm sure you'll have plenty of GSL games to back those up as well (LOL).
One more note to readers - if it seems like I've repeated myself over the course of the last 3 weeks or so...guess what? It's because everything I said back then applied, but the game was still developing up to this point, so people were quick to bash me instead of looking at the game and analyzing it more objectively. hey avilo you lose because you're fucking awful not because your race is hard Hello, that's debateable, you lose to players you shouldn't because you're immature and stubborn, so what? Put up some arguments, or do something more useful, like practice ZvZ for GSL. you're impossible to argue with because you just say things that are flat out wrong since you approach the game believing you aren't terrible and thus it confounds you when you lose. '2 rax pressure is easy to deal with' 'tvz late game is impossible' no, your micro is bad and you dont know how to macro.

So I logged into the world of the warcrafts, dangling about with all the new stuff etc. And when I see this guy I immediately think about Idra for some reason rofl :d

I don't understand why IdrA doesn't use his twitter more often. It's the perfect avenue to speak his mind aka calling more people fucking awful. <3
IdrA and Ret sittin in a tree
Z-E-R-G-I-N-G
first comes drones
then comes macro
then comes banes in the overlord
bombing his line
creeping his base
doing the zergy zergy dance
no idea where that came from
