How can you say this after the first game?
Uh... 10/rax bunker cheese --> 2 port banshee --> double drop from two sides all countered with 100% precision from Idra. If it was almost any other Zerg playing they would've taken a huge hit to their econ but not Idra, he was so far ahead in econ at that point 4 base (with gold) to 3rd just going up. Sarens pushed out at the last timing he had before Idra had ultras, but unfortunately Idra was just a little hasty, should've sacrificed his natural and just waited for his ultras to pop.

nice
Nah he outplayed idra plain and simple.
Zerg whine is rediculous. 4 of the top protosses with only Kiwikaki to replace hasuobs for the 4 best foreign Protoss players and none of them made it out of group stage - 3 zergs out of 4 did, yet do we toss players whine?
Idra played well g2 and won.
The way you zerg whiners complain idra cant lose legitimately i remember when whitera beat him in HDH and there was a whole lot of QQing over sentries cos they beat idra.

That bunker opening is so huge, but idra played really well! GG!
I don't think there will be a huge nerf coming, the Blizzard statement didn't look like they plan that. Something like -1 Banshee range or less Banshee dmg or hp is pretty likely though, because they are really good atm and become more and more standard versus every race, which they shouldn't as such a specialised unit with cloak
But there are so much stuff which is effected by even such slight changes. It's really unpredictable what they will do in the balance patch.
To people wondering why IdrA took the fight on Steppes when he didn't yesterday, the difference is that yesterday he had tons of Mutas, today he was forced to build Hydras to fight the Banshee's. If you let yourself get pushed that far back into your base w/ Hydras they'll just funnel down the ramp and all die to tank fire before doing anything.
With the engage he had he at least had a good arch of fire with them. At least that's what I assume he was thinking ^^

Anyway enjoying the series!
hahahahaha. I can't believe I just read that. Idra outplayed Sarens the entire duration of game 1 until he did his attack too hastily with both his hydras and the final attack that cost him his army. This isn't a debate on op/up, simpy that idra made 1 really big mistake that happened to be his entire army.
