The cool part is that he didn't lose any mutas at all pretty much.

yeah not losing units in a battle, that sounds like imbalanced Terran. If there aer ppl claiming that this is new and unbeatable or anything, PM me, and i'll look up some of my older reps which were played before all this magic-box nonsense was posted on TL.
Idra didnt go for mutas since he quit Zerg in sc:bw, now he does and wins 2 games, everyone is going insane

You've mentioned several times that you've known of it for ages, no one is disputing that. You can't argue that 'everyone' knew it in diamond and up though, Artosis said several times that Thors compeltely nullify mutalisk. Not to mention I haven't seen that technique used at all by pro players, most ran from Thors.

Yes, it was there but it wasn't "common sense".

The ZvT saga continues! I hope it gets to an ace game, and also that we get to see some long macro games toMorrow.

I only make 5 actions per minute. But since I use all my time deliberating and planning, my 5 actions are so brutally devastating that children cry out and grown men weep.

I don't like it. I am a Zerg player,but winning with one unit? Seriously?

Stop feeling sorry for Tharson. He played shit and you know it.

See what happens when IdrA starts pressuring a Terran ? They fall completly on their ass because they have never experienced that before. They are used to controling the game, IdrA takes the game to them, and Tarson paniced.

Dude, have some respect...

also, maybe zerg was overpowered all the time, and terrans are the weak ones? herp derp

Cry me a river pansy ass. I'm not gonna step toe around it. If they played bad they played bad, end of discussion. Its called opinions and if i have it I have it ? Do you want an emotionless game ? If you want fuck off.

When one player devotes his full resources to air while another player only devotes half his resources to anti-air, then obviously the first player will win, if their macro is equal.


qtf

this is exactly why starcraft is starcraft, there are no hard counters where you can just build one unit that counters the whole army of your opponent; if he goes mass-air + support you have to go mass-anti-air + support; just adding "some" anti-air-units won't be enough

Nice job idra!

Thats a prime reason why we need to stop spamming our sc2 forums with useless stuff. There was a thread on the muta v thor spread since mid beta and tons havent seen it. Good info is getting drowned by gossip and whines.

Anyway, to be fair its not super common yet and he did it on a huge stage so big respect to idra. Its one thing to know a theory, its another to practice and execute it in a big game.



ACtually, tons of people did see it, but they preferred to think they were so RIGHT in their own balance and skill assessments of the game, that a lot of Zerg refused to consider muta versus thor mech at all.

it was said many, many, many times over the course of beta that mutas were good against thors with spread, but once one top tier zerg player complains and whines that the match-up is broken, the rest simply start to jump on the bandwagon refusing to try things in the game.

it happens.


True...this is why I'm glad that Blizz doesn't just change shit based on whine and is actually taking their time putting out balance patches. All of a sudden pure mech looks pretty weak when it was considered "unbeatable" by all the armchair warriors on these forums about a month ago.

That mass muta game was so awesome. I just can't believe people seem so surprised when mutas eat up a mech army that way. I think it has to do with SC1 players being inclined to try and mimic SC1 micro with the mutas, which is really counter productive against thors, as oppose to exploiting the auto-spread mechanics.

I don't think there's anything I enjoy more than watching 20+ mutas eat a mech army alive.

grats to tarson and idra

I'm glad to see the anti thor micro in a game, but those were ideal conditions, no marines, not enough thors, as tarson was expecting a ground swtich ffom idra.

still though if t has to put more gas into thors there may not be enough tanks to stop the bane on the marines... so this might be breakthrough that z needs... we'll see what we see.

Nice technique, it will dominate for a while. After terran will adapt and it will be back at finding something else, it's fun to see those game. gg Idra and Tarson.


Why would it dominate? MorroW handles mutas well and in a manner that will not be effected by this technique.

I feel bad when people compare idra to jaedong. Jaedong can micro 2 muta groups in sc1. Jaedong has killed entire proteams with his stare. Idra is winning against foreigners in sc2, while skilled, he is no jaedong.
Backho fan since 080416. Favourite terran: Mind. Favourite Zerg: Jaedong.
