That was a macro game, so i hope you watched it. Ling+Baneling dosent work against a Toss who gets Storm, you get annihilated

So what would've worked there?


What works most of the time, Roaches with Corruptors would have stood a chance, a far bigger chance than what he did.

Ling+Banes is not going to work against Storm, they all blew up in 0.9 seconds, barely anytime to react for Idra.

I don't think you actually watch PvZ. Roach/corrupter gets wrecked constantly, and Idra tries it all the time as well. The outcome would have been no different.

Sad that Idra lost that 3rd game, but I'm pretty sure if he had just retreated those lings/blings until the FF fell during the first push by Minigun or researched drop he would of won it, or atleast had a much better chance.

Or if only Miniguns push came a minute later Idra would of had broods out. :-(

Oh wow, it's him versus Cruncher right now in the loser's bracket. Interesting stuff.

Mini totally faked Idra out. First win he cancels his expo and four gates. Second win he gets a couple of DTs. Idra gets detection but Mini goes for storm while scouting with fake phoenix the entire game.

Kind of funny because mini played idra on the ladder the other day and idra was rolling him. Methinks idra won't underestimate him should they meet again.
Hootie hoo!

lings n banes dominated minigun on ladder when idra played him, so i guess he was just hoping that itd work again.

Dunno what games you were watching, but idra just kinda threw those away; there was really no reason not to get drop tech, especially after the first round of forcefields. Dunno if idra forgot or just didn't care.


Yeah especially in the first big fight, Mini FF'd his units into a ball and Idra just ran his lings and banelings around in circles until they all died. At least retreat them at that point :/

yeah what is that..i see it all the time, why not pull back??

Idra's good but at this point he's around the same skill level as a lot of people. He himself has said he stopped practicing seriously till changes are made since "the game is a joke". So while his ceiling might be higher than a lot of these players, currently he's nowhere near that ceiling and beatable quite regularly.

All these laddergames where minigun got rolled prove otherwise again, it's like a neverending circle

beatable i agree, but minigun is not a good player relative to other good foreigners

yeah except ladder games are worthless compared to an actual tournament result, which is all that matters anyway. Idra might have beaten h im 100 times in ladder, but he lost when it counted most.

IdrA made a huge mistake in the third game early game, losing a ton of lings for free. He also lost a ton of units trying to fight the forcefield donut.
I think if he hadn't made those mistakes, he might have taken that game.

IdrA might end up playing Cruncher in the LB next round - TSL3 preview, anyone? another ZvP, that will be pretty tricky.

Perhaps so but laddergames is where you experiment and try different things. Tournaments is what matters the most, that is where you bring your best play and best strats.

Guess he was trying to wear out minigun's ff's, but ran out of larva first and ended up with the protoss ball in his base. Still really just lackluster performance by idra, there was no reason for him to lose that.

I try new shit on ladder, the times he rolled me with that strat, I was trying air options vs ling/bane, which didn't really work well.

People tryhard on ladder? :S

If protoss has the will, you WILL lose your lings if sentries have enough energy
