But seriously propz to Silver, you will not longer be just 'The Idra Killa', enjoy the rest of the tourny and your $100

and gg to Huk, proving once again how solid he is, even on an off day. (sacrificial coloxen )


You'd call what we just saw solid play? Colossi scouting 4tw?

Awesome. That worked, but then I got promoted to Silver and they kill my drone everytime. Those Silver players are crafty! What do I do now?


huh? if you just got promoted to silver I don't think you should be leaving suggestions or comments on the overall balance of the game. work you're way up to my level so your comments/suggestions can be justified. good day


LOL. I'm a Diamond player. My earlier response was sarcasm, directly attacking the intelligence behind your suggestion. However, it's clear by your response that you're not nearly as dumb as I initially thoguht, so I apologize.


ROFL..idiot if you didn't notice I was being sarcastic as well. I too play diamond, so just relax there buddy.

if you want to be precise it is 270 minerals you could have had 60 seconds later. The duration of a mule must be considered in the value of those 270 minerals.

Also, I think Chapter 4 of Sun Tzu's Art of War says you must fight your opponent where he is strongest, or else you're a noob. I propose that in order to prevent this kind of thing from happening again, instead of playing games to see who wins we have a community vote on who is the strongest. That guy automatically wins.


HAHAHA. I created a TL account just to say how much I liked this post.

On topic, it's kind of absurd to keep arguing that TvZ is balanced, when it's widely acknowledged by players of all races that it isn't. Terran can wall themselves in and make ANY tech of their choosing on ONE goddamn base. Zerg's only chance against a decently played Terran is to expand everywhere and starve them out of resources, but that's assuming you can stop their turtle push.

Step one, as Idra said, is obviously to eliminate smart firing tanks.


1.Go ask TLO and day9. He says TvZ is balanced.


1. TLO plays terran (biased).
2. day9 doesnt even play much sc2

He didn't say TvZ is imba, he says T is ridiculous that they can turtle, have a large variety of options that they can do that all require different reactions from the opponent, yet you can't scout it because

lings can't get in base
Ovis get shot down by patrolling marines

there's no way a Zerg can scout them (idk about toss)

so how does Zerg prepare for everything with spreading themselves very thin in every category

I was wondering who silver was since he has an absurd win rate on my ladder. Didn't get to see the games but hopefully I can soon :D

TLO and friends seem like they try to out-pro the race. They do stuff like space out tanks, try to harrass, etc etc. Players like Silver just build 3-4 of any random unit and a-move to win.

what the hell.... silver didn't just build any random unit and attack moved, he was reacting very well to what his opponent was doing and he was harassing in the mean time, you really think he has a very good winrate in the ladder and beats idra qxc and huk by just spamming units and attack move?

He beat Idra on metalopolis simply because Idra went muta ling vs THOR, HELLION. If that were not bad enough, he even engaged with his zlings before his mutas.

He abused LT really well vs Idra by doing that roachproof walloff while getting a fast medivac which was smart play.

Idra lost the first game, 100% his fault. The second game can be seen as T abusing the map, but all zergs should account for this possibility, I mean this maps only been out for like 12 years now.


I normally love Idras bm, but this time it was uncalled for, Silver didn't even provoke anything, or do something super cheesy or all-in, yet he just lashed out on him -_-

Idra vs Silver game 1:
Idra gets to lair relatively early, doesn't get overlord speed or overseer, though it would have come in time to see armory/thor push, and react in time. In this scenario, I don't buy the "zerg can't scout in time argument".

Mutas are used well to delay push, but second wave of gas goes into more muta, instead of infestor. There's no reason terran should be allowed to push out with a small army like that, especially if 2-3 of the thors can be NPed.

Idra vs Silver game 2:
Lair is complete just a tiny bit before medivac is ready to go, so we can see Z scouting would in fact be too late for this sort of build. But it is in time to catch the medivac go out. Other clues would have been lack of hellion, but upgrade going on the tech lab. Seems like could be punished by sacrificing lings for the lab.

Time is 7m, turbo newb going out, but Z can delay a bit with the sunkens. Should be enough time to get mutas if that were placed at Lair, but no spire down, instead roach upgrades going on. Instead of reacting properly, Idra is on tilt, and just tries to all in with roach (vs siege tank????).

--
In both of these games, there were plenty of ways to have spotted and reacted to the builds.

In response to Idra's BM despite mediocre and inconsistent play, I can't wait until the korean scene marginalizes him.
hmm.
