Do you guys remember when I said a girlfriend would harm idrA's performance? Everybody laughed at me. A few pages later motbob came up and said exactly the same thing..... During HSCIII I said that we should hope Socke defeats Goody as idrA is not familiar and would have massive problems with Goody's playstyle. Fortunately Socke won. And what did just happen a few minutes ago? I wonder when people start to believe in me and call me the greatest prophet since Nostradamus..... | ||

I think it's more likely that IdrA played in XMG to be nice to TaKe, and did not give a single fuck about a $100 tournament. Hence why he went Muta/ling vs Thor/hellion/tank. I can only hope you will be proven wrong at Anaheim, if not I'll gladly call you Nostradamus  | ||

It would be fitting since Nostradamus' predictions were vague and ambiguous and are applied to situations as people see fit. I make the prediction that because IdrA is working out he will at some point in the future have good fortune with something. | ||

Z right now need to be inventive, sneaky, unexpected with multipronged attacks and raids. While IdrA has excellent multitasking, none of his strengths favor this kind of play. Zerg drops require no micro, so his multitasking is wasted there.. if you think about it the drops are usually just suicide drops that exist to keep the enemy army home. Terran on the other hand has deadly drops, and with IdrAs awareness, constant scouting and multitasking, banshee harass in his hands would be extremely deadly. He would also be good at handling a mixed MM and tank ball, and stimming only the units he needed to chase down mutas and smaller groups. Just imagine how deadly Idra would be using ghosts. He was one of the first people to say ghosts would be huge, and now they dominate TvP, and are getting more prominent in TvZ as well. Inventive, sneaky play goes against everything IdrA has practised and perfected. I feel that going back to T would pay off for IdrA within 2 months, and after that he would be a monster terran. | ||

Like, back in the beta + just after release days. The game is entirely different now. | ||

The rest wasn't really bad, thanks to bunker time nerfs and barrack/stim nerfs. Now that their early pressure actually requires skill, they are way way more balanced and can't just end games in 4 minutes anymore. | ||

In BW, (correct me if I'm wrong) but Terran was the macro race that you could be very passive with. IdrA is a passive player, Zerg is a passive race that allows you to macro like a boss (something IdrA likes to do). Eventually, yes he probably would be on par with other pros, but would it suit his style? | ||

Other than the occasional hellion harass, mech style terran seems to play very passive as well and imo is damn tough to break into a turtling/passive meching terran. To suit his style, I would venture to say sure why not. | ||

But like he said.. hes not gonna switch races having put so much time into zerg as is. | ||

Or Idra just lost, and it had nothing to do with his girlfriend. You act like they spend a lot of time together or something, when in reality they probably haven't seen each other since MLG considering they don't even live in the same state. In fact i think she lives in canada | ||
