it wasn't random. If he expo'd ANYWHERE else he knew he can't hold tank drop. Forcing the terran to try and drop at the small gold ledge and then have roaches on one side, crawlers on the other ITR did exactly what cool wanted him to do.

I'm not talkin about that game although expanding to gold (GOLD = ALWAYS RISKY, GOLD EARLY = EXTREMELY RISKY) is easily counterable by anyone who is decent. Cool was throwing hidden expansions on LT too. That's not solid play. But really HopeTorture plays so bad, just think about it for a second. How can you let Zerg Nydus worm your base, omg - you can stop that with pure scv's, lol.

Anyone can see JD played extremely well in that series despite losing, this is completely different.


So true


He's forcing a response with the hatcheries. 300 mins not much to pay for the reward whether it's successful or not. Keeps his main from being dropped much.

As for missing the nydus, he was busy microing his viking and dropship.


"I'm gonna ignore that nydus in my main because to deal with it I would have to let my viking and dropship sit there idle for two seconds"? Doesn't make any sense, even if we assume ITR can't multitask.


Pressure. Metagame. Think outside the box, bro. Seriously it's not really that hard, you probably did it in class once. ITR obviously can't handle it this time around.


Could be, I'm not in his head obviously. Just saying that "he was busy" is not an explanation.

ITR would destroy every other Zerg - it's not that he's playing badly, it's just that FruitDealer is playing absofruitely amazing. Respect where respect is due. IdrA is showing bad manners (surprise, surprise!) by disrespecting FruitDealers amazing play.

This LR thread is worse than usual, full of raving, ignorant fanboys... Idra would stomp ITR playing like this. Congrats to Cool for playing well but it's really ITR's predictable/passive play and poor decision making that's dictating the outcomes thus far


I wouldn't consider myself a fanboy by any means - I'm just impressed by the immaculate decision making by FruitDealer. I think you'd agree when I say that he's currently the best Zerg we've seen so far. IdrA is a very good player, yet he lacks the assertiveness that FD is displaying. He somehow comes up with the right counter every time, spots every possible drop and reacts accordingly. I highly doubt IdrA would stomp ITR, since the series wouldn't be so dominated either way. I don't know if you've played any tournaments lately, but it's really getting to your nerves when everything you do is being countered. IdrA sometimes seems too hot-headed for me to become a really great player. But that's maybe a misconception. Fact is: FD is playing at the top of his game. And I honestly think nobody else would dominate ITR in such a fashion. The build of ITR is very solid, yet depends alot on harassment. And so far, FD has repelled every attempt in extraordinary fashion. And that's pretty impressing.


Nice to see a well written and intellectual post. I don't believe ITR is playing that badly, FD is simply shutting his builds down completely. Remember these builds and his harass playstyle are what got ITR to the grand final, so they were obviously effective against everyone else.


Cool isn't shutting down anything, ITR is NOT shutting down Cool's extremely risky early game.

I dont think so. Cool is more creative and flexible and in general better than Idra.

People who think that Idra is better, only want a non-korean winner.

Yeah, especially that early in a game 300 mins, really, seems like nothing to me :/

Fruitdealer is playing really awesome. I think his mid-late is way stronger than alot of other Zerg I've watched. I wish he was playing against a more creative Terran though. Same build 3 times against Zerg is no bueno. Especially same opener 3x.

Haha, it is so true what idra said:
thank you rainbow, for making zerg look good.


For me it's like when someone does play as bad as HopeTorture the other player looks like a God when he beats him. And funny thing is that Zerg's random (hidden) expansions and Nydus in a base is such a cheesy and gimmicky play. C'mon, you gotta admit that.


Jaedong made Flash look like a God in the most recent OSL finals, yet Jaedong is the 2nd best player in the world. When a good player gets an advantage over another good player, they just compound it until it looks like they're steamrolling.

This.
In my head, I'm a 1500 Diamond player. In reality, I don't even know what that means. I don't play SC2. I just watch.

To be fair, Cool "should" have lost to oGs.TOP. IdrAs ranking doesnt say much about his skill. I wouldnt put IdrA above or below Cool tbh.
