Idra's lucky they aren't close positions. Going hatch first without even scouting the close positions.

Pretty lame ending there in game 4. Jinro still fun to watch, I like the mass mech on that map, and had pretty good turret placement/# count. The muta harrass could have been much worse but he defended well till he was ready to kill him.

How do you beat 11 thors? Like 20 Brood wars?


Roach infestor with neural parasite completely destroys it.

It got like insane popular to go mass thor/helion some month ago, but zergs figured it out. However if you feel like losing you keep building mutas and GG 5 sec before NP is done.

Also the thors were on +3 attack and mutas on +0 armor making thors 2 shot mutas instead of 3...

You guys realize it wasn't an early gg at all? He was behind when he saw CC first, then he was even more behind scouting mech when he tried to go for a fast spire doing nothing even facing a super-fast 3rd for Jinro while he was on 2 base.

Then he was super-behind on upgrades.. that was a late gg to begin with, not an early one.

But it is a showmatch and he left before engaging at all. Sure, it looked grim but.. come on.


No, nothing come on. Why should he attack and look at his units dying doing nothing? Just leave with a gg was the most logic and reasonable thing to do. He's not playing to entertain you. He's playing to win.

Actualy, as it is a showmatch, he should entertain us. It's benefitial for him also, as he is more likely to get invited for showmatches if people actually enjoy watching him play.

That's the fucking thing isn't it? I'm not saying he owes me anything, he doesn't but it is a bloody showmatch. Showmatches bloody purpose is to entertain, that's when we see archon toilets and other stupid and possibly not as viable shit that's enjoyable to watch. A gg before the final battle goes against everything a showmatch is.

Oh well.

This.
If players do this they just won't be invited to any more showmatches. I don't know if Idra cares, but...

Is Idra even trying? These early GG's by both players are starting to get really frustrating


Every GG that has been thrown down has been when the game is completely over. Do you need to see buildings die for the game to be over? Waste of time.

Have you watched ANY proleague, OSL or MSL games EVER? They never leave any game until it's 100% chance that they've lost. That's because they understand that it's a show, and a sport. They often don't even leave until they're literally down to 0 units.



The game was fucking 100% over. Why do you care if he runs his units in to get slaughtered. I couldn't care less.

Anyone else have a feeling, that these games were played around the time when IdrA stopped streaming, and decided to move back to US?

Idra GG'ing early is fine if he's practicing. But in a game that actually counts for something, why wouldn't he give it all he's got and keep playing a little while longer? He could have tried going for a base trade, and even though Thors kill shit faster than his army would, Idra would still have the far off expos
