Almtom, if you think that was a roflstomp you seriously need to take a step back and watch that game again, Idra was clearly ahead at almost every point, but once that backdoor shakuras push comes it is clearly hard for zerg to engage, and seeing that the fight takes place at his third, unless he trades armys, (which zerg almost never can trade an equal army with a protoss, only can trade for their high tech units) than its almost impossible to hold that third

it was a good game regardless, but we see why shakuras isnt in the ladder anymore

At one point naniwa had 110 supply and Idra 175, you guys can keep on lying to yourselves, but Idra played much better, period.

The ramp @ his 3rd cost him the game...he was 50-60 food ahead there, but ramp + sentry/stalker/collosi is not attackable like that : /. maybe burrow under or drop, but both very risky and depend on enemys mistake.

Maybe he should have tried to conter...

Oh well, all of those " i kill rock and i am @ your base " maps stress zergs quite a bit...

That looks exactly like how all my ZvP macro games go . Kill all the collosus in the first push, but he has enough gateways units to kill an expo and decent number of drones before i can reinforce enough to kill it, then everything goes downhill from there.

Yeah sorry, I'm curious what zergs you are talking about?
Do you mean July? Because July has been all inning in the majority of his GSL games. But if you think zergs should all in to kepe up, ok...

I really feel for Idra. Throughout the game I definitely thought that the protoss had a much easier time and that Idra was outplaying Naniwa. Despite that he still lost, due to the 200/200 death ball. Pretty fucking boring.


How exactly did IdrA outplay naniwa? Can you point that part out to me?

He didnt attack till 200/200 v 200/200 though, he should have just bust the front when he had 65 food ahead while nanis army was all the way at his 3rd

Has Idra ever blamed himself for a loss and written "gg" hehe...

He really played much better than Naniwa, maybe he could try a different approach, but playing zerg is really unrewarding in these type of maps, especially against protoss.



60 food ahead at one point, protoss just sits on one base and a-moves.
i don't know why people say hydras are good vs protoss, they lose to stalker balls really bad.



yea, even as a toss player that game was kind of depressing. i could see it coming from a mile away, but i did not want to believe it. wonder what the nani's upgrades were at though, that could be a reason why his stalkers simply wouldn't die.

i dont know how u couldve seen anything coming if u thought he was on one base.

you could tell that naniwa was scared the whole match to go a macro game against idra thats why he confined himself in that 3 base pocket there. Idra smashed the colli play and then just kept getting played with. I think if idra wasn't such an emo prick he would have won seeing how naniwa was gona be dry in all his bases in a matter of minutes.

On a serious note: Protoss 3 base turtle into colossi stalker is the most common strat on that map. Zerg deals with it by :
a) basetrading (EG. machine vs Nani on SP)
b) researching drop (Moon vs Squirtle on SP).
c) lategame baneling bombs using (showmatch between Morrow and nani)

Idra did none of it and looked 3 months behind on the metagame.



Yes i also felt that Idra haven´t been keeping up with how the zerg players play vs the doomball nowadays. He had the chance for a base trade and still wanted to engage the deathball.

But the Idra rage. "This game is a fucking joke" is already legendary!

Indeed he had such a big advantage that i think if he had done a doom hydra drop like moon always does when he is ahead in supply or try baneling bombs to exchange armies , the result might be better than allowing protoss to turtle up and pick their fights.

I dunno. Everyone including IdrA already agrees that against the deathball, the normal way of playing doesnt work as we saw happened just now. Why not try some things that have worked in recent weeks.

I don't agree with you.

Idra was ahead in supply yes, but some of it was drones and the other point is that nani was able to keep his army together all the time. Idra had trouble rallying his troops together, often nani was able to kill the units as soon as they spawned. Well played by both players and a very close game.

Naniwa was working on storm at the end there, i dont really think broods and lings could have done much.

Considering nani's unit composition, I think IdrA would be much better of forcing no fights "from below". This would mean taking the 2 o'clock main instead of the natural for his 3rd base. Fighting that colossi/stalker ball would be much easier from above, i would suggest anyway.

my 2 cents.

he played faster and better on the macro base, but he isn't catching up to what we see other Zerg do.
Because as he says, their play is bad and their high named opponents are even worse.
hydra drops? hell, even Mutas instead of corrupters could've done something, nothing protected the mineral lines.

and he should've seen that push coming, it was surrounded by overlords when the rocks were still up. engage at large top main instead of at the bottom of that ramp? No way!


his timing and game sense just wasn't up today, i think he should've been able to take down game one easily, but waited too long for P to make some units.

A 65 supply difference in useless corrupters isn't any kind of advantage.

Nani played it correctly, keep one robo collosus production up until it was apparent that Idra wouldn't stop making corrupters, and then transition into immo + storm.
