Idra's composition could've been better, but he was in a bad situation after his weird decision to not take his third after killing off a bunch of sentries. Zerg needs to be ahead in workers, and he was behind, which probably led to him cutting upgrades/hydras

idra's corruptor amount was a coinflip. kiwi did an AMAZING job deflecting overlords so idra couldnt see his colossi count. idra only saw 2 robo bays which usually indicates many colossi

Idra really looked like he just didn't quite have the feeling on whether he could all-in with his early roach push or not. This is something pretty new from him (I think), so I'm not surprised his transitioning isn't as fast or smooth as it is from some of his older builds. Still though, he looks like a completely different player than what we saw in the TSL matches. Idra looks a lot less rigid, and appears to be really growing as a player. Considering how skilled he is already, that's a pretty scary proposition.


I think he's just trying to capitalize on a timing he learned in the past month but locks himself into that build even after it fails. He's pretty stubborn with his builds.
There's no S in KT. :P

Now that qxc is gone, Kiwi and Drewbie are there only good players.


QXC is not part of ROOT anymore and your underestimating how much Destiny has improved recently.

Idra's weakness is blink stalkers.

wrong. this is every zerg's weakness. Sen lost to it. Dimaga lost to it. And Idra lost to it.



This. Is easy for anybody who doesn't play zerg to say Kiwikaki is a total boss and that IdrA made a plethora of mistakes but really, there's a difference between going all-in just because you want to, and going all-in because you know there's a unit composition you will lose to, no matter what. Still, good for Kiwikaki, but I'll only jump in the "IdrA, eat your words!!!" bandwagon when CatZ beats him in a ZvZ.


The best part of it is when people say stuff like speedlings would be so amazing!111!!!! against it.

When in reality, you have 30 stalkers shooting at 600 zerglings but only 30 of the zerglings are even hitting and the stalkers that get low just blink to the back/up a cliff/down a cliff/up my ass.

Then most of EG is mediocre because Machine, LZGamer, and Incontrol have done much less than ROOT at MLG and other offline events. Only Idra and DeMuslim are good.

Hydras definitely help against the protoss ball but not as much as one would think. To take that 30 blink stalker count you need almost pure hydraling. It's a weird balancing act between your roach and hydras. Guess wrong and lights out


Yep, the onus is always on the Zerg to somehow scout as if he has a maphack to create a composition that doesn't just melt in seconds.


Well it's not that difficult to scout but the frequency that you need to is pretty difficult. Goes something like
scout 1 colossus -> 4 corrupters (or 5,6 something like that)
scout another colossus -> 4 more
scout twilight -> hydralisks
- if protoss has X colossus you make Y hydralisks.

This is diffcult because zerg macros in bursts


So instead of not building Colossus, he hides two colossus and you still lose.


You don't though. Only two collosus don't really matter if you have 40 hydras.

I haven't won a pvz where I've gone roach/hydra/corruptor in months when both sides have hit pop (obviously you can win if you have the food lead). It feels like you're beating your head against the wall.


That is zerg for you. You're supposed to be in a huge food lead due to denying expansions and not over committing on attacks. If you fight 200 vs 200 against terran or protoss ur gonna lose. Simple logic and it was SC2 was made that way.
If you dont abuse your speedling's insane speed, you're just being dumb. There's no way a toss or terran can push out without over committing (unless of course you allow him to get his near max pop army)


thats EXACTLY what I dont understand.. why are zergs thinking this is possible, on small chokes non the less like Idra in that game and DImaga earlier today?? It blows my mind people think 200 zerg food is equal to 200 P/T food.. Not to mention zergs ALWAYS have way more drones, which means even less of an army in food count..

But seriously, go play BW for one second. Has 200 food zerg ever beat 200 food P or T in a head up battle on BW?? You would NEVER send 200 food of zerg into a 200 food P deathball of stalker/archon/zealot, even with dark swarm.. The game hasnt changed at all, yet somehow zergs think their race should be the cheapest, fastest AND strongest too. you already got two, cant have three.


200/200 Z hive does perfectly fine vs T esp after infestor buff. and 200/200 teched Z does damn well vs t/p in broodwar(not to mention 3+ bases actually mattering and having a realy macro advantage and "deathball" just not existing).
