Nationalism is useless though. Root for who you enjoy watching. | ||

It's hardly the fault of players if a boring combination is strong in all match-ups that's the fault of Blizzard. Also, Dimaga and Haypro are a different style of player to Idra. Long term they aren't as good. Dimaga blinds counters and uses the meta-game a lot, this doesn't lead to strong overall play (read Nonys recent post). Yes he might get 5 surprise wins in a row with the same baneling/ling bust but then someone finds a counter and he just loses for ages. Did you watch Dimaga against Jinro recently? He lost a game where he was MILES ahead by a-attacking into a planetary fortress. Trying stuff out is fun and all but it's not the way to consistently win Starcraft games. Ok, my bad. I should've said 'not creative' instead of 'unskilled'. But for me good skilled player doesn't mean 'he wins games' only. I understand skill as experienced+flexible+creative+stable+micro+macro... so on. So what I mean is IdrA has found a good viable strat and spamming games with it to make it perfect in his hands. And I don't like it. If someone comes up with unorthodox strategy or makes some risky move IdrA ends up losing by saying 'cheesy noob'. And please don't bring flash here. His games are intense and interesting to watch. He doesn't mind doing bunker rush, drops and so on. Also look how Fantasy plays, he is really creative. I think IdrA never made KESPA's top-100 because he was just good at standard play with correct timings and solid BOs as other tons of korean progamers.Those who have deep understanding of game make it to top. Nevertheless IdrA's games are still lame to watch. | ||

Nevertheless IdrA's games are still lame to watch. You are so stupid it hurts. You do know that the macro playing style takes lot of effort and skill to pull off correctly. To be able to deal with huge number of cheese and extreme early aggression you need great micro/scouting/game sense. Any idiot can play standard but it takes a lot skill to make standard hold up to cheese/early aggression. Same reason why flash can pull a 14CC and not get punished for it; his game sense is good and scouts impeccably. No one seems to be able to surprise him or keep up with him in mechanics so they get rolled. In the game vs check, Idra did a great job holding off check's early ling aggression and punished very well by sniping the queen. Then he let his macro kick in and rolled him with a bigger, better upgraded roach army, before check could recover. If you think what he did takes less skill/game sense than a Bling bust all-in then I don't know what to tell you. Just cause the guy is a bad mannered dick to everyone, doesn't mean he isn't a skilled player | ||

Maybe stupid was a little harsh, but yeah you don't have much knowledge of SC if you think "IdrA never made KESPA's top-100 because he was just good at standard play" | ||
