Poor Idra. If he really hasn't been playing lately i wonder what he has been doing.

if idra positioned his units inside the 1olock main(in the early game when he loss the 1oclock nat) to intercept naniwa's units instead of letting him walk inside the base uncontested then he would have won(even if they would have never engaged) because naniwa would have been sitting on a shitty unit compo and idra would have had a sick eco to tech to broodlords after the big 200 vs 200 engagement while remaxing his ground army

losing that 1oclock cost him the game and it was something he could have easily avoided with better scouting

IdrA tunnel visions so fucking hard that it's detrimental. He's always going for the 200 food steamroll, but it doesn't work vs 3 base turtle.

Yep that's pretty much where Idra lost the game. He really should have had his army positioned up there near the top right expansion in preparation for what I think most people saw was coming. If Nani decides to attack through the middle there's enough time for Idra to move his army back down. There's very little reasoning behind him poking at the front like that.

Even after that though, If Idra didn't try to push into naniwa's base and sacrifice about 15 hydras and regrouped, he had a much better chance of fighting off Naniwa's stalker/immortal army.
Those 2 mistakes cost him the game I think.

edit: yay TT1 thinks so too.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

It was obvious that Idra outplayed Nani but that it was just the most horrible imb game ever. The map was imba, the positions was imba, every unit was imba, the strat Nani used was imba.

Imba imba imba imba because thats the only way to beat the SC2 legend Idra who never ever makes a singel misstake and if zerg only was not under powered he would rule sC2.

That last game was really hard to watch. Complete bullshit how nani could just attack idras 3rd from above the ramp and just constantly forcefield the ramp. Zerg has nothing to counter that shit.

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.


Hydras -do- beat the crap out of stalkers, but not three groups of 15 hydras at a time against one group of 35 stalkers. All you achieve then is hurting their shields and not actually doing any lasting damage. Zerg always seems to need a number above that critical mass to deal with the army presented to them, or lose hard without having actually done much damage. As evidence to support this, look at banelings VS marines, or mutalisks zerglings or hydras vs anything. If you've got three less banelings, it changes from you eradicating his entire squad of marines to you killing six marines and getting rolled by the remainder.

Its not that they're good, its just that hydras are the best option. It really is a shame. Nani (who played well, don't get me wrong) just made a shit load of collusus, then when they died (cause Idra was forced to use his vastly economy on corrupters), he just made stalkers and idra's economic lead was essentially wasted cause it was in corrupters. It feels like an impossible situation for zerg.

Wow guys you can't just look at the supply differential in a PvZ and then draw silly conclusions solely from that.. I mean, really, you do understand that right?

To everyone saying that Idra should have base traded when naniwa's army was out of position, what the fuck does he do after he wipes out naniwas base? Naniwas army will win in a head to head fight, base trading is hardly viably against protoss deathball.

Idra plays the same way every game. He must take action and become July and all in... he would dominate!

Very recently actually. On SotG he mentioned how he should have won at IEM against Squirtle but played badly.

Yeah i forgot; The game is totally about who can macro to 200 quickly.

to catch on to your sarcasm:

Rightieright. This game would be so much better if there would be some sort of possibility to turtle like a madman until you are actually strong enough to move out. And really narrow choke points to defend and sometimes poke out until you reach that point in the game!

Agreed 100%

He should have been watching the rocks on both sides once he saw the full wall and been ready to contest the 1 oclock rock ramp instead of letting Nani get position

I question his level of practice / what kind of shape he is in these days. I also kinda wonder if it's only going to get worse now that he's leaving Korea and won't even have ladder

IdrA had bad army control at points, he threw away a couple of units every engagement and he also didn't use his corruptors enough. There kept being colossi rallied to the ramp of IdrA's third, yet he didn't go on any sniping missions with his units. He could also have spared a couple of hydralisks to attack the protoss' natural earlier. He also didn't saturate his bases/geysers enough, and if he wouldn't have had enough larva to spend on units, he should have prepared and built an extra hatch.

Just in general, and this is more baseless speculation than anything, but it feels like IdrA is playing half with the intent of showing something is imbalanced. He would keep throwing units at a protoss ball and then declare: this game is a joke, protoss death ball can't be killed - when he should have just stayed clear of the colossi. :/
Well, now I tell you, I never seen good come o' goodness yet. Him as strikes first is my fancy; dead men don't bite; them's my views--amen, so be it.

Exactly. Naniwa punished a greedy zerg who reaches 200 first without harrassing or dropping or trying aggressive play.. and then ppl say Idra played better? Very strange.
