orb should do an episode of his show about how not to scout idra in game 1, and then follow it up with why he showed idra all of his strategy by just letting the overlords hover over his base all game.

when i play on us server i get roughly bnet1 high latency, and it doesnt affect my opponent's latency as far as i know. that makes stopping rushes about a billion times harder than usual, and its the reason my hatch died instead of being cancelled the 2nd time.

How does this work exactly? I thought there was something in place to make the latency on both sides the same, to keep it fair. I read R1CH's thread about SC2 networking, but the vast majority of it(like most of what R1CH says) went over my head.

If it is different for the two sides, that is definitely a huge fairness issue. Playing with really high latency is so much harder and would be a big disadvantage I imagine.

Bnet does keep the both player's latencies at the same level.

Idra you are an absolutely amazing player and I've enjoyed watching a great many of your games, but, come on, you can't really use this as an excuse. You defeated Orb in 2 out of 3 games and are advancing to the next round, don't ruin it by crying latency at the nearest setback.

I want to stress that I do not mean to insult anyone. I just feel that Orb is owed his due for winning a great match. Many people predicted a flawless 2 - 0 victory for Idra.

he asked me what happened, you really wanna claim one sided latency wouldnt have any impact on defending a rush? and its not like im making it up, everyone who has played multiple servers has reported increased latency.

no, it does not keep them at the same level. ive played a good number of zotac and esl cups on euro, which is essentially bnet1 extra high lat + lag for me, and opponents have said they dont feel a thing.

I know you're incessantly BM and I know you don't respect me but I'm watching the replay right now and you don't even have the hatchery selected waiting to cancel it. You never even selected the damn thing so I don't see how the fuck you can be blaming latency for your loss.

You're unbelievable.

ya you also watched the replay and saw me start my 2nd queen after your void ray was out. oh wait.
stop being a dumbass.

it doesnt show because you were selecting it at the same time, for the entire time it was near death, and it cant show both little color circles at once.

Why do you continue to lie to better your self-image when you are only making it worse.

Here, I'll upload some screenshots since you are so unbelievably stubborn. It shows you selecting your main hatchery from in your base. Also, when I switch to your view in the replay if it only didn't show the dotted lines because it was unable to show both, it would still have the selection at the bottom middle of the screen be the building hatchery with the progress bar instead of your main hatchery.

Here's some screenshots showing:

These show you selecting your in-base hatch at the same second right as the hatchery dies

These images show that I had my gateways selected, not your hatchery. The wide dashes around the hatchery in the first screenshot are it showing that I right-clicked on your hatchery to tell my gateways to rally to it, hence the rallies ending up on top of where your hatchery was.

Nice try though, I don't understand why you have to be such a prick about everything. You won the bo3, move on, stop trying to justify the one loss because you can't handle it.

what is wrong with you
you're a trash player. this prompted someone to ask me how on earth i lost a game to you. i explained that you rushed me and my latency on the us server makes it difficult to micro. you know why that is? cuz the latency means my actions arent processed instantly. for example, i could select a hatchery and press esc immediately before it dies and those actions are then processed immediately after it dies.

and you're being rather hypocritical there given how you flat out lied about the queens in the third game to try to spin it as lucky on my part.

Anyone get the feeling that Idra wears the crown: "The guy everyone loves to hate" with pride? I do enjoy the drama though =)

Why don't you play Orb in a best of 3 on a Korean server then? Should sort this latency issue out.

Uhhhhh, IdrA turning up the nerdiness to full maximum turbo-nerd. I haven't seen someone cry so hard after winning since grade-school. There is definitely not enough delay to warrant your tears, you made a mistake; I hear people can make them? So shut the fuck up and good luck in the semi's and possibly finals. ego-tripping faggot, jesus

Someone made an account just to post a shitty flame of Idra? I guess people are taking things a bit too personal.

Yeah except that with one click you can see that I made this account 10 days ago. I just came upon this thread and saw some kid being a complete feegit, sounding like the bitterest of virgins, to one of my two fav toss players (nony being the other). Nobody likes an ego-tripping faggot

I'm going to have to edit in the fact that you are likely Korean, and a fanboy of the nerdy faggot just because he resides in your country. Am I hitting home nerd?
