He's livening things up in ways unbelieved. Dang, I can't believe it, I'm actually becoming a true fan of someone haha. qxc's worst match up is tvp and he doesn't have much confidence in it, he was trying some new builds that he doesn't usually do as well, which didnt work out too well ;( | ||

Just because they are pros doesn't mean they are perfect. IdrA could have done a lot more damage with those NP than he did and the ability is still very viable at 12 seconds. I know I was screaming at the screen to kill the NP BCs too. It's not overpowered considering how freaking weak Infestors are, especially vs. BCs. The Infestors didn't even threaten TLO, he didn't even bother targeting them - he didn't have to. There's a cost to going for Infestors, they should be a threat, and at this point they just aren't. Note that IdrA actually lost that battle - a battle he could have won (at a cost) if NP were as it was prior to phase 2. The fact that NP was nerfed cost him that battle and perhaps the game from that point on. What I don't get is why they changed it. Nobody bitched about NP prior, it wasn't OP - it was a threat. Christ, Infestors die so easily it's a joke. Now they've lost a lot of their versatility and effectiveness. | ||

It sucked to watch a unit composition of upgraded anti-air troops and heavily microed spellcasters lose to a single spammed unit type (BCs) because of a nonsensical nerf. | ||

Don't know why everyone is complaining that NP is underpowered now....besides idra not using the NPed cruisers to attack each other, all he had to do was NP half the cruisers and then kill the NPed cruisers with his hydras. Although hydras are a terrible choice against cruisers, if he had scouted the BCs and went mass corrupters he'd have been fine. | ||

IdrA would have won if he had simply attacked the BCs he NPed. I hate that every time I see Terran beat a Zerg player in a vod I inevitably come to the thread and see Zerg players claiming imba. | ||

Not to mention that TLO wasn't even bothering to target fire the Infestors. He was just a-moving the BCs in. | ||

There were several scenes where he could have taken out some more BCs. At 12min Idra should have attack more agressive hydras are much faster than BCs on creep. and at 15.30min he wastes so many hydralisks... And at the end, it wasnt necessary to attack. He just could have taken his expos back and defend. TLO would not have been able to defend his bases with the slow BCs to fast runby attacks. BCs are not imba. I never lost to BCs as a protoss. Feedback and some stalkers/archons kill them pretty fast if you focusfire. And as we saw, NP+hydras kill them even better if you micro properly. Just attack them and let them attack each other. + BCs are so slow... | ||

TheLittleOne did alot of things right, his harass was very sucessfull and his "final" attack came at the right time before Idra managed to recover: if you paused the game at that point and asked all TL members who they thought would end up winning it, im sure 85% would say TLO, he just looked in far better position than Idra. The very attack is what turned it upside its own head, Idra pulled his Drones out which drew tank fire and allowed the Roaches to get extra damage in, and just barely managed to defend something that in retrospect he never should have been able to, yet he did it. I know TLO is well liked, he is well spoken, nice guy and he is European which means alot of players from Europe cheered on for him, while Idra sort of has the villain image here, he "raged" in a few replays which made people think perhaps less off him, all that aside, Idra played well and deserves to go through and some respect, if not for his attitude, at least for his play. | ||

NP is not op at all, in my opinion. But in that battle Idra made one mistake after another while TLO managed to keep his cruisers alive for a long time. There were many times Idra could have killed lots of cruisers. But he did not. And it's not that TLO did not attack the infestors because they were nothing to worry about. But he did not want his cruisers to float above the hydras. He managed to keep them alive because he did not attack the infestors. | ||

It doesn't seem like that could run for 8 hours before he casts a single game, so the midnight is probably wrong? they played the finals in phase 2, right? they're not live after the beta? | ||
