I just don't think Idra can stand up to the best Zerg in China, and arguably the best Starcraft player in China. I for sure think he can. Idra just plays such a consistent style that it'll be hard for any aggressive "non-standard," if you will, Zerg player to beat him. I think F91's risky play style is going to hurt him tremendously. | ||

I think F91's risky play style is going to hurt him tremendously. I'm not so sure about that. Maybe IdrA has gotten a lot better since I last saw him, but it seems in most of the games I watch where he loses, he suffers some serious damage from a "stupid" cheese that hurts him so bad he can't win. The last time this happened was in Spirit, when Fenix did a quick DT drop and eventually went on to beat him. | ||

Has there been decent games of Idra released lately or is this just based on that one comment by Artosis? Everything besides Artosis's comment points to Idra being less than pro-gamer level at TvZ (to put it nicely), and Artosis might be a little bias considering he's Idra's friend and clanmate and his website has a stake in seeing Idra do well in Korea. He's a progamer, hence his TvZ is progamer level. That's like trying to defute the statement "Idra plays as well as Idra.". It just defines itself. | ||

I agree, I think cheesey style play is IdrA's weakness, which makes F91 an especially fearsome opponent | ||

You're being evasive about the question. There's no reason to get technical about it. When people say pro-gamer level they mean he's able to compete with A team pro-gamers. That he's as good as the players on televised games. Being on a pro team doesn't make you have pro-gamer level skills. There are a lot of practice partners and B team members on every pro team. True Idra is a licensed pro-gamer, but that doesn't mean much, not even factoring in his license was gifted to him and not from passing Courage. | ||

True Idra is a licensed pro-gamer, but that doesn't mean much, not even factoring in his license was gifted to him and not from passing Courage. I dont know about A team but he has taken games off other z pros. 2-0 Yellow in blizzcon and 1-2 vs some zerg on gom and the game he won it was really one sided. Yellow took a game off nada so im pretty sure yellow is still decent. I dont think idra is weak against agressive allin builds. Look at his series vs yellow. Yellow went 2 hatch muta into guardian and 2 hatch speedling and idra defended both off well. And this was a few months so im pretty sure he improved a lot from then after practicing 8+ hours everyday. The only problem Idra probably has is with his nerves on high stages but since this isnt on a stage or anything he should do fine. I really dont understand why everyone downplays that he got his license without passing courage. You guys make it seem estro gave it to idra free of charge. | ||
