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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Zerg has nothing to counter that shit. Bust the front, lings will wreck nanis economy before he can do anything, Drop like moon does achieving the same thing | ||

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! | ||

I also kinda wonder if it's only going to get worse now that he's leaving Korea and won't even have ladder | ||

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. :/ | ||
