He is the ultimate zerg, I don't know what happens if he really switches race.

It's like Gandalf joining Mordor.

It's the thing that actually he can make a living off.He should be practicing but there are huge problems with the zerg race in general.It's not fun playing zerg and certainly not that easy either.

Idra is generally very good and precise at executing stuff while he lacks creativity and diversity in his playstyle.

This lack however seems to be not caused by a lack of skill but (mis)understanding of the game in which he believes that the classic, safe style is always superior. What other explaination could there be for showing multi pronged drops in zvp, Nydus and mass ling styles while he almost always sticks to classic stuff against top opponents.

Why doesn't he use burrowed banelings in zvt? Terran never uses Ravens and they just can't scan the whole path.

That being said I believe Idra would be a very good protoss in a very short time because he would be fine with standard stuff in pvz but the might have problems in pvp for example.

What makes Sen more succesful than idra at the moment? How can Sen just offrace as Protoss and be competitive against zergs?

Have you copy+paste this comment from this thread before? I swear I have seen this comment dozens of times in here.

You obviosly don't watch his stream. He has done spinecrawler rushes, baneling sniping PF through nydus, sick drop play, double spire action. He just does not think that playing gimmicky is his best chance to win important games when he has significant advantages over other players, like understanding of the MU, mechanics, macro.



Because he thinks, that other players are competent enaugh to scan and he doesn't want to rely on suprise and trickery. He was saying that zergs need to use more burrowed banelings for very long time tho.

Yes, this is what I do all the time to keep you guys busy........Nope. I bet you can't find anything that ingenious on the whole tl forum.


lol. Thanks for quoting a small portion of my post and answering it with something I've written in the next paragraph. I know what he has done but I also know what he does in tournaments against "real" opponents.

Scanning? Terrans scan the whole path when they do a marine tank push? Don't tell me something like that. It's not about burrowing banelings right at the edge of the creep. But for example just in front of their base. It's funny how 5 burrowed blings can kill a whole marine tank push and force the terran to just turn around and go home.

My main question is still not answered. Why is Sen more succesful than idra?

Meh. SEn made third in nasl, IdrA made fourth in MLG, I don't think you can in any way conclude that SEn's more succesful. They mostly play the same style, SEn's zvz is probably a bit better than IdrA's.

Here's their TLPD's:

Watch the matches vs MC. From both of them.......

I always believed Idra's zvt was miles ahead of Sen's. I'm not so sure anymore.

Read the top of the goddamn thread.
The first line is "This is not the "discuss Idra" thread", so stop trying to offer your not only pointless, but incorrect bull that you don't really understand.
Get out of here.

You read the top of the goddamn thread. Then try not to fail quite so miserably at quoting next time.
Hint: "discuss" doesn't mean "diss"

Hint#2: Copy paste might be a better choice for you when quoting from now on.
For example: "I don't want to completely ban any negative discussion about Idra, though"

Edit: I noticed something else, when putting quotes inside of quotes it is proper to alternate between singe and double quotation marks. It should look like: "This is not the 'discuss idra' thread" see how those quotation marks changed?

Isn't this website great? You can learn grammar and reading comprehension skills!
