Edit: I am biased towards Nony just because I like him, his playstyle, and his race more. ^_^ | ||

In both game 1 and game 2 nony took advantage of the wide choke. Thanks Rei, you're right and I do appreciate the help in educating myself. :D | ||

Nothing more, nothing less. It seems to me that zerg FE is very hard to beat if you don't try something risky (void ray rush, immortal push). What do you think about it? I think you should look harder. | ||

In both game 1 and game 2 nony took advantage of the wide choke. in game 2 he was actually disadvantaged by it, if it had been a normal sized ramp a single forcefield could have kept every hydra out at a time, instead, he needed 3 forcfields per go. When you count sentries and the mobility of zerg, smaller chokes deffinatly favour a toss. | ||

In game 2 NonY alr admitted that it was a mistake to keep the hydras out in the first place, his build was to pick off hydras using the forcefield. In that game even if the lair did go down, Idra would have still won. However if we talk about map advantage, big maps tend to favour Idra because he is a macro player, and all 3 games were big maps (scrap station being long rush distance). The HDH should have a big map as first game, and small map as second or sth like that | ||

Also, not sure about big maps favouring idra, nony has insane mechanics aswell. | ||
