Seriously, what's with all the terran hate on teamliquid? I've seen retards like Imbs bash really good terrans for winning against Z and nothing's being done about it. The majority of TL members may be zerg players, but that shouldn't cause half the posts here to erupt into balance discussions with some zerg claiming "herpa derp terran can a-moves with stim and scv bumrush, noob race". Grow up, please.

FYI, I play zerg too, but apparently I don't have the wow-forum syndrome that plagues the trolls on TL.
Also, well played, Drewbie.

No, IdrA has this following of fan boys, who are very prevalent and vocal, especially after he got some results. You just got to deal with it. There will always be shit disturbers no matter where you go.

not only do you mimic me with insults, but you add herp derp parody, whining about whining and you also drop insignificant information in an attempt to gain credibility. is it fun to be such a massive hypocrit m8?

i dont even hate terran, i just think its stupid when certain players can beat other superior players soley because of abusive strats only their race can use. this is a fair point to bring up in a thread that talks about a game where it happened?

Hurts when you're on the recieving end of an insult, doesn't it? Next time, think before posting dumb comments about someone else's skill/caliber whatever.

Team LiquidUnderneath it all they were really quite nice. They just got screwed up. Mostly by stuff that wasn't entirely their fault.

What the hell are these comments about "abuse" or "Exploiting" etc etc etc?

One could say that IdrA is exploiting the small cost of a hatchery, because its so so cheap, he can get it early. ABUSE!

Zerg is the most mobile race in the Game. With good creep spread down that hallway you can see it coming from a long way away. The narrowness of the corridor also means that marines can't micro very well away from banelings, which means they can only run one way, leaving tanks open.

I can't believe the amount of people crying foul. Its a situational game. In this situation the back corridor was used. It isn't a secret, IdrA knew it was a strong possibility, you can defend it.

Drewbie is too GM to someone that has been very BM to him in the past.. All the more power too you.


Look up "exploit".

Drewbie positioned against a choke.
Zergs get raped at chokes.
Shakuras plateau has a very good choke right next to the main spawning points.
I wasn't being sarcastic when I said Drewbie did the smart thing but having a choke so close to the main is something Terrans CAN and probably WILL exploit.

So zerg should exploit their maneuverability and draw the army back by ding-dong-ditching some supply depots with their Mutas.
A good zerg (ie; IdrA) on their day can (and have to) deny terran from holding such presence on the map. There are many units they can exploit to do this. The pure pace and mass of Zerg needs to be exploited in order to control terran around the map

exploit exploit exploit. Every race, and every map has exploits. When does exploiting simply become "playing the game."

Play the games!

Why oh why do every EG vs "Some other team" turn into a shitstorm???

Great games, great tournament and then I log onto TL to read about it and its this steaming pile of crap as usual...

Drewbie beat IdrA in favorable positions and favorable latency but it was still a legit win.

Its kind of hard to avoid the "shitstorm", e-sports is getting closer and closer to real sports and the discussions/fights/brawls between supporters have never been pretty in sports, we certainly aren't talking about calm discussions. The e-hooligans are here to stay, and in a way I don't really mind (though someone calling imba every game whoever wins is getting old), those terrans will never admit they are playing the ez-mode race anyways (joke)

Actually Crow it's always been this way even in BW. Players have the tendency to make excuses all the time. As for the whole EG versus everyone else spiel. I don't know, I guess we can call that the Idrama factor for now. It is what it is. Let's move on.

if you cant see how a guarded nice path to the back of your enemys main directly from your main with a nice tiny choke is a problem zvt(and potentially in other matchups as well) then dont just pull random stuff Z have to do. shakuras is a nice map, the backdoor is a problem in those spawns tho and it was just a matter of time till the use of that get standart.


still dont hate the player. there is no reason to push thru a big long distance middle(plus the backdoor to worry about) when you can safely push at the back.

I respectfully disagree. Tons and tons and tons upon supporters think the coach is an idiot for putting in that player, or think the player was an idiot for not passing or for being too greedy with the ball etc. And this is often coming from people that has never even played the game. At least most e-sports supporters play the game actively every day.

Good games guys. Obv Idra had some lag issues but still a good game. As good as he is anyone can drop games in this game, and no shame losing to Drewbie. Jeez so much drama on TL t.t
