The game up until that point was COMPLETELY different. Idra was miles away from broodlords and was behind in economy. Why would you even try to compare the 2? | ||

Barring Idra leaving Korea, i agree that he should have scouted with an ovie and never engaged that army in that place, it was a suicide move. He fell right into squirtles trap, IMHO squirtle played better. | ||

The fact that he gives up/makes a poor move when he's behind is a little disappointing. I'm sure I'll be reminded by people that IdrA would've been even farther behind if he'd ignored the protoss' 3'rd base, but a head to head engagement without corruptor support against colossi seemed like a decision taken out of desperation. He's said it himself, zerg is not a race to come back from. What strategy is there, or even gimmick that will get a zerg back in a game when he's behind? | ||

Do you have an alternate reality time machine to play out these two scenarios to see which decision was the best? Yeah it's easy to be critical of progamers in hindsight, but people should think that maybe they actually know what they're doing. You can still have an opinion, that's what threads and commentary are about. I mean the guys commenting the OSL would'nt win a single game out of 500 vs any pro and they can still have a good insight of the game. You don't have to beat Federer to tell if he's playing well or not. If I see a pro player going pure hydra against mass collossi with sentry,stalker support, I'm still going to think it's not the best thing to do, eventhough I'm a plat n00b and he's a pro. | ||

Well to be honest he has said many things about Zerg in various phases of the game (from Beta to now) and he has not always been correct, remeber what race the first two guys that won the GSL were playing while he was saying that Zerg have no chance vs T and P back then? I agree that it's very difficult for Zerg to come back but it's nto impossible, after all there is always a chance that your opponent will make some mistake! | ||

TLO & IDRA CASTING :D For the "hardcore" SC2 fan, sure, watching IdrA do some commentary would probably be entertaining, but for an event like IEM, where there are probably a lot more casual SC2 fans who have no idea who IdrA is, it would be terrible. The guy is so monotone and never ever shows any emotion... EVER. I'd link the IdrA emotion chart, but I can't be bothered. | ||
