First of all, very specific preparation based on individual opponents' builds isn't as beneficial in the MLG format as it would be in a Starleague, since in MLG players must mow through a gauntlet of countless different opponents from different backgrounds. Even if IdrA retains a few "secret" ZvP builds, it'd be impractical to save them for Tyler, since he'll probably face a host of strong Protoss before or instead of Tyler. If he doesn't save them for Tyler, it's likely he'll reveal his all-out style against some other Protoss, and then Tyler can study those replays. Second, both players' preparations are to some degree available to each other due to match history tracking. It's futile to hide what you've practiced because anyone can find out what you've practiced anyways. To be fair, one could allege that either of the players invested more specific, player-sniping practice into this series than the other. Focused preparation for a single series obviously bears fruit in that series, but may not be useful in an event like MLG. I still don't think this was the case, though, since the play that both IdrA and Tyler fielded both looked valid and dangerous, regardless of the target player. | ||

Nony had him read in every game... Are you saying that IdrA's play on BS was "ridiculously predictable" and that reading it was impressive by Tyler? In the same sentence? Rly? | ||

Good luck to both at MLG Dallas. I don't think anyone of us has been in Tyler's mind to be able to tell whether he "revealed all his strats". Personally, I think all of these were pretty much exclusively anti-Idra strats and that they wouldn't really be adequate against a different sort of player (or just a different player). Besides, it's not really like we've seen some groundbreaking PvZ strats that were there to be "revealed". Most were standard well-known Protoss pushes tweaked to punish the way Idra (always) plays and they were executed on a sufficiently high level to beat him. | ||

That was the case i was kinda talking about. And hopefully you aren't saying that i said anything about the last sentence of your post. | ||

What makes IdrA have enough units to hold off a blink stalker push in a tourney, but nut a showmatch, is unknown though. I also have no idea why he opened with a weak roach/spine push on the first match... something I have only seen him do when he's ahead.. | ||

He actually doesnt state it was impressive, just that he did it, he says his timing push and ff's were impressive, aside from that everything he says is descriptive rather than evaluative | ||
