Wow really catchy song..
Also I think IdrA should lay off some practice and work on his mindset... if he's playing vP he's been tilting from the loadscreen on lately =(

Hes talking out of his ass really. We suck at sc2, but we've had the best CS team, we've had awesome q3 \ q3ra players, Slayer from sc won a tournament in Korea. Sweden is miles ahead of us, but we have our moments.

QFT.

Idra totally had game 1 in the bag but then botched it with terrible BL placement, and then made the horrible decision to throw hydra roach down a corridor into storm+collosus with 0 corruptor support. That wasnt zvp imbalance, that was bad decision making. Which was especially dissappointing given how well he held off the phoenix harass.

And then 6-pooling in game 2...thats just sad. Theres no way that a 2-time gsl champion is going to lose to a 6-pool.

Idra's defeatist attitude defeated himself.

Yea, i'm a zerg player and I tend to complain about zvp...but MC is simply better than Idra. I think Idra realized that after he played a beautiful macro game, and MC still rolled him. Pretty clear that Idra just gave up, like tyler said.

Anyways MC fighting!

I'm just a gold scrub so who am I to dispute IdrA's claims that the game is broken. I just "feel" (without being able to back it up with my "gold" knowledge of SC2) that he could do better, even if ZvT is an uphill struggle, if he'd not consider the game lost before the countdown started.

IdrA gets 7 bl's and sticks his army in a choke spot and dies easily "PVZ IMBALANCED!"

MC had 0 defenses at both his 3rd/4th. IdrA took a late 4th / never corrupted after killing the Collo in the first fight and didn't scout expansions. Late on infesters as well. Had he waited for infesters and massed some bl's while harrassing the expos with lings or something he'd be fine and that is ONLY after him NOT throwing 4 base of production into 2 collo (idra had corruptors out) and 5 stalkers...

The thing that pisses me off the most though is that OK so you make a mistake at the end and it costs you the game.. why give up on game 2? You had him on the ropes like 3 separate times EVEN IF you want to argue "I can't win!" you at least came REALLY REALLY close vs the best fucking protoss on the planet... what more do you want? Give game 2 a try jesus

what else is he supposed to do? I'm sure this will get Blizzard's attention more than a long macro game loss would have. The topic of balance is shunned-- this site bans anyone who brings it up and mock players that bring it up.

Maybe this protest will prove to be more effective.

Except for the fact that the game balance actually showed itself to be balanced. The only determinant factor in game 1 was player skill. Idra misplaced his army, MC took advantage. SKILL DIFFERENCE NOT IMBALANCE. God you balance whiners are so fucking annoying.

july 6 pool, genius
idra 6 pool, retarded

i cannot understand the logic of live report threads, the 6 pool no matter who is doing it comes down to when it is scouted, people always say how idra should throw some cheese or 6 pool into his style and when it does people complain.


There is nothing untrue about this statment outside of the "people complain" it should read "haters complain"

OMG Dimaga 10 pools Nestea?!?!!? super effective!

People just like to hate on idra. I personally think this was a strat the whole time. He thought well if i loss the first game I am going to 6 pool to throw them off and hopefully get a free win. Idra has never been one to care if he losses a game, he gets mad at "imbalance" or 'preconceived imbalance" I just really do not think he was upset or on tilt after game one.

Only the protoss are arguing against it, he isn't a martyr, he literally can not win. Like I said before, MC said he will never lose to a zerg, unless they nerf. When the best protoss player literally says I like the nerfs because I want to win fairly, you have to believe it.

if you cant see how idra could have won game 1, you are lost


Exactly he could have won but he tried to macro up he then kept fighting off creep with hydras and became less and less cost effective shame really after he pushed up to the natural i really thought he might be able to do it

This thread is littered with bronze kids crying imba or claiming that IdrA "outplayed" MC are retarded. MC played extremely well that game. IdrA built a ball and attacked in one position the entire game, never hitting in multiple spots. His best attack was when he got a good spread, but late game he has no drops or anything? Really, you WILL lose if you slam head on into a 200 P army with that composition. Not to mention he got caught out of position. :/


No your right, drops are the ideal response to your opponent controlling the sky with phoenixes. Then when you win it back and have an inferior force due to useless corruptors and have to make slow hydras you are totally capable of pulling off a ton of multi-pronged harassment....

vs someone on 2-3 bases....


I dunno it didn't really look to me like IdrA ever had enough oomph to actually finish off the game so the result wasn't unexpected to me.
