No way. If it's Terran and not on Lost Temple... It's GG.

Speaking of that, why doesn't Idra downvote LT? It's the worst map for zerg with Steppes of War being the second.

Masters of the obvious here, but I think that in order to beat Idra a terran will need to make some really good early harass, mess with his timing. It's not like I'm comparing their skill levels, but in BW, brazilian player Odin had a sick sick macro. If one would let him macro at will, they would probably lose the match. However whenever people messed with his timing in early game, his performance would be very disappointing most of the time.

Idra's macro is really really really sick and unless someone can match his macro in this game, they will have to do some good harassing early in the game. At least that's how I seei t.

so idra doesn't consider mvp that much of a challenge
interesting

It does not really thrill me that a Zerg is going to dominate the finals again, whether it be Idra or Cool (FruitDealer). It was ironic last season that zergs were underwhelming when Cool came out of nowhere to snatch the crown. And now with the zerg buffs, the swarm is set to dominate again. Kind of disappointing for a Season 2 climax, really... =\

That's not at all what was said.

First Artosis asked him how far he thought he could go and IdrA said he thinks he can make it to the finals. Then Artosis asked him besides Cool, who else he might be worried about facing in the finals. Since the hypothetical was on the finals, IdrA answered only with players from the other side of the bracket.

Yeah , it's not really a balance topic but blizzard really need to look at zerg macro mechanics , or make some change so terran can keep up in a macro game. Because 1 rax fast expand dont work zerg will get ahead by like 15 drones.
And Harass don't seem that good if the zerg is not playing greedy and make 2 Spine crawler at natural with 4 roaches to kill helions and 3 queens to prevent banshee harass and spread creep faster. Even drops gets shut down by Muta / infestor creep spread and overlord placement helps a lot.

Delta Quadrant is the worst map for zerg.
Steppes being second.

THEN it's Lost Temple.

The problem with this, though, is that Idra is no longer the dude who would fold under slight pressure. Once upon a time, a cannon rush would destroy him, but now, he can hold anything, it seems.

If players can't harrass him effectively, thats just putting them even further behind in the macro game.

The way I see it, unless he does something stupid (i.e. GSL 1 vs Lotze), I don't think he can be beat at this stage in the game. I may end up eating my words though.

The link that the other guy posted was a rickroll for some random reason.

Terran needs to do something NEW. The same tired strategies aren't going to work.

QXC's Raven play was good enough to take a game off Idra.

Put it like this: Terran right now is in Zerg's position with the Mutalisk before discovering the Magic Box. Every Terran was like "LOL THORS ARE SUPPOSED TO HARD COUNTER MUTAS, L2P"...

Well, Terrans... It's your turn to L2P. Go back to the drawing board.

Hope NaDa and BoxeR meet up. Would draw huge crowds imo.

It's really not that bad any more. Post-patch, Roaches can handle a lot of the shenanigans on the cliff, at least long enough for you to not lose your hatch, and a lot of times, when it happens to me, I can trade the hatch and go right to the dudes base.

8-9 Roaches with a couple Spines ready to go, and it is a hell of a lot easier to clean up than you'd think.

Also, Lost Temple is actually good in the early stages of the game, because the narrow opening to the nat shuts down a lot of hellion play with some well placed Spines.

It rickrolls regardless it seems. So weird. Copy link location shows the correct link.
