Idra just didnot exploit them at all. | ||

To your comment about Idra taking a break, not going to happen. He'll either switch to protoss or keep waiting for "balance patch" | ||

MorroW defended a push from MC and counter attacked only a few minutes earlier. He did not let a Protoss get too much defense before going for the win. Idra just stood around and seemed scared to death to even attack. | ||

Watching this game however, I could do nothing but yawn, and at the end blinking all your stalkers to kill the lords and psi-storming hydras even I could pull off. Funnily enough the commentators thought Broodlords was Idra's saviors, but I don't think I have seen one match where Broodlords do anything but kill the Zerg vs blink Stalkers. I don't understand why Idra never GG'd when MC got up his third. I don't care about balance, just give me 3 races that are interesting to spectate, not just 2, since the risk of one player being P is too high. | ||

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 Yeah, I agree completely. I've been a fan of Idra's for a while, but I'm getting tired of how easily he gives up. Something to talk to him about, perhaps? | ||

I'm pretty sure if you went up against MC you'd try your best too. I think Idra should've given it his all just like in game 1. He did a great job coming back from that early game harass, if he'd pushed earlier with his army I'm pretty sure he could've taken game 1. I have to agree with you on the whole if you went up against MC you'd try your best too. I know I would. 90% of my mind would already have "I've lost" burned into it, but can you imagine if you played the most flawless game just for that one game against MC and manage to beat him, the feelings you would feel would be undescribable. I guess it all comes down to the mindset in the end, and it's been made very clear on a lot of the previous occasions we have seen IdrA play that he just doesn't have it yet. I hope for his sake, one day he will grow out of it and mature as a player. He is destined for so much more but there's no one holding him back except himself. | ||

I am sorry but terran/zerg both complaining about protoss, and protoss complain about... people complaining? It is common to complain about imbalance, but when one particular race only complains about complainers, you know somethings a bit offbalance. | ||

He did say though in his interview(look up YoanM's post in this thread for a proper translation), that he just played around in game 2 because he was confident he would win game 1 and 3. (The last map being old shakuras) | ||

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 just to be exact, idra had patrolling zerglings at mc's 4th and 5th, and saw gold going down because he held lower xel'naga tower, and he did corrupt with corruptors after killing collosi. + MC had cannons and wall of gateways at his 3rd, it's not like he had no defenses. that last fight was just bad, he really did need to wait for those infestors, and keep his bl's safe... | ||

Hydra+blord is just too slow to effectively combat blink stalkers+HT off creep and MC didn't make the huge mistake of going far onto IdrA's creep. The only thing that would have significantly changed the late game of that match was pooling resources/larva for a rapid post-battle reinforcement or many more blords, but none of that is certain given MC's excellent decision making. Obviously his failed 6 pool was giving the series to MC. I think he could've killed mc's third | ||

On April 13 2011 02:47 Senx wrote: Im kind of curious as to what the EG managment thinks of one of their player purposely throwing a game away because he's "fed up" with the game balance. 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. Idra is still miles ahead of the other EG players. No disrespect towards IC who took 4th in MLG Dallas, but that was kind of an upset. What good would it have been if he had won it? Old shakuras is for PvZ what steppes of war was for TvZ. | ||
