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.


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.



This is a myth honestly. Stalkers vs Hydras is very even in terms of cost and supply. People for some reason think that Hydras roflown gateway units when they honestly don't. They need to be on creep to face zealots as well. What owns gateway units, is Hydra DPS, protected by ling/roach tanking.

I would say he outplayed him macro wise, but he always does some really weird decisions costing him the game.

Broods? Against blink stalkers? What good would they do, besides soaking up gas? Nani would have just outmaneuvered them and sniped bases; BL's are too slow.



and what would go wrong? idra the macro god has enough larva to support a mass ling stream while the broods support and drive naniwa back and back until hes contained.


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.




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


yeah storms would have been the death nail but when naniwa stopped useing colissi and was pure stalker/immo would have bought idra the time to stablize and use his macro advantage.
A wise man will say that he knows nothing. We're gona party like its 2752 Hail Dark Brandon

Because if you don't then you get fucked up by colossi. You either make too much just so you have a chance, or make too few and you instant lose.

wp'd by nani grats dignitas.

It's really hard to hit that "correct" corrupter number. But sadly Idra went way to far there. That was probably around 20 hydras worth of useless corruptors.



He cannot blindly predict how many colossi will be present when the engagement happens. If you go too light on the corrupters you will lose more often than when you go too heavy on the corrupters.

I know, hence the "it's really hard" part. I know I can never get the number right in my zvp

I have to admit, It's pretty lame that zerg isn't rewarded for being 2 bases ahead of their opponent. I know zerg units are supposed to be "disposable", but that game just seemed a little too silly.

If Idra had an overlord on that top passage and had time to get his army above the ramp before Naniwa got his up there, he'd have won.

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

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


plz dont make any excuses for him, he played pretty solid as usual but mistakes like that have nothing to do with gameplay, it was just an amateur scouting mistake

I agree with this. I was thinking all the time that he should've positioned himself with a good arch in the 1oclock main when he was still ahead in food.

I think he saw the protoss army taking down the rocks. He sent an overlord when the rocks were at 50% health, prolly saw it going down and backed it up. Problem was that he decided to stay on his expo isntead of going up the ramp.

Are we supposed to just accept your opinion on it instead? You haven't exactly established yourself as some impartial, respected observer in the past. Indeed, given your past there's very little reason for any such respect

From what I saw IdrA didn't have Ovies or Zerglings positioned at the tunnels and taking Meta-game vs Zerg into consideration it should be essential for Zerg to have a permanent scout at those rocks/tunnels at all times after taking a 3rd.

He also didn't take the gases at the two bottom bases he took from what I saw causing him to not be able to crank out enough Hydra or change his Corruptors into Broodlords.

He also made WAY too many Corruptors for how many Collossi there were IMO.

Those are just my criticisms as an amateur as to why he lost so.
