I wish they had talked to IdrA. I'd really like to know whether that was RQ or horrible idea.

I'm kind of worried about Idras status in EG or as a pro player in general to be honest, I would not be surprised if he just takes a extended break from the game really soon.


You've got nothing to worry about.


So you guys don't care about it then I guess? The players dont have a responsability in representing the organisation in a decent way?

Sorry but Idra have a really bad mindset. When you actually think you can't win ZvP just because of imbalance, you are going basically to lose. If Fruitdealer in season1 or MC in season 3 had this mindset and waited blizzard to patch the game, they would never win.

Idra you can continue to think negative, throw games over and over and wait to blizzard to the rescue. Or you can change your mindset and try to take every small chances you have to win games. It's up to you.

It hurts my head that anytime Idra loses I have sift through this balance crap. Apparently the game is only balanced if Idra wins all the time.

I think its been proven enough times that Idra doesn't try.


Yea he was only the best zerg at MLG by random chance. He also only beat TLO by random chance.

Who fucking cares if he 6 pooled into the loss. He was going to lose the series anyways. Better to get it done and over with than drag it out into another disappointing "Zerg losing entire army and killing 10 stalkers" series.

Game is a joke. And god forbid anyone calls that out, we're just horrible people to suggest the game may be at a disadvantage for zerg.
Some see the glass half full, others half empty. I think the glass is just too big.

Maybe you should actually play a game from a zergs perspective. I'm getting so tired of protoss players, pros or not, throwing their opinion around when they have never actually expierenced it

well, in game 1 you saw what a comeback he had, so give Idra even if, a little credit (exclude game 2).
i think he is the only one who can own MC, if he would play on his peak

Yeah seriously.. I mean if you want to be pro gamer then do your best to win. If you don't like game balance then either deal with it or change race or don't play the game! But travelling to tournament and throwing away game is not how pro gamer should do
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

You guys act like IdrA made a "stupid mistake that cost him the game." He didnt. Game was lost regardless of what happened to the brood lords, and anyone paying attention to the battle knows that.

Tyler just keep on preachin', I'm sure you're gonna make lots of converts. If you're lucky the heavens will allow TL to get past the first round in the next tournament.

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.


He could have won it easily, he was ahead and could have done a million things to put a major dent into MC. Then he made a MASSIVE mistake as Idra is known for in many matches and lost his army.

He didnt just throw away his expensive Brood Lords for no reason other than to kill 4-5 probes but he also threw his Hydras into a blender of Storms. 2 major mistakes.

Infact before this fight, i could not see how Idra would lose at all, then he goes and proves me wrong yet again. His own fault, lost to a much better player, MC is a tier above most other players



He put his Brood Lords in the wrong direction for 3 seconds MC Blinks snipes them as Idra tries to reteat he moves his Hydras in to try distract them MC throws down 2 Storms and Idra trys to pull back but the ggstorm damage has been done and he's lost.
