He put on his best performance, died, and decided he preferred a quick death. You might have preferred more of a show but you're not entitled to one. Incontrol, you owe your teammate silence at the very least. | ||

Same IdrA different game. I mean when did Protoss become overpowered anyways? They've recieved nothing but nerfs along with Terran and it was initially Terran that was overpowered against IdrA and magically when Terran starts to not dominate Zerg anymore it just switches to being PvZ that's imbalanced AFTER Voird Ray and HT nerfs even.....WTH!!! IdrA will always be like this even when Zerg has it's own dominant streak (oh wait....Nestea, Julyzerg? lol) he will still whine about imbalance and throw games away because of it and then try to egg on the whole community into hating on a certain race or blizzard itself. IdrA won't stop but the community needs to stop. Every time a Terran or a Protoss loses we acknowledge the faults (well a huge majority of us anyways) but anytime a Zerg or not even a Zerg but just IdrA loses it's the whole "this game is a fucking jokie!". | ||

We can all agree that Idra made 1 huge mistake at the end that lost the game, but I think the problem some people have, you can't punish a protoss for making the same mistake. Idra stayed ahead of MC the entire game until HT came out... How is Idra supposed to win on Meta with the small chokes(Forcefield) and blink (for maybe drops)? You can't break a protoss with a 3 forcefield wide choke and collosus. You mean how all his queens got picked off individually when all three where out? When his first queen got lifted he used what energy he had on his other queen to inject then not attack the Phoenix that was lifting his first queen? Then run the rest of his queens into a Phoenix meat grinder? Or how he ran his queen away from the spore crawler and got it instantly picked off? Or how he never even bothered to drop a spore crawler on his third so every time a queen was built there the Phoenix just came and killed it? Or how he lost 7 hydra to the Phoenix? The fact after ALL THAT, Idra was still barely behind MC? Please, stop being ignorant There is a stupid double standard here on TL, I said it once, but I'll say it again When a Protoss as good as MC plays well the entire game and manages to catch EIGHT BROODLORDS and have Idra run his entire army into Storms apparently the "Game is broken", but when MVP lands 3EMP's and rolls an entire Protoss army whilst he was behind the entire game he is a "Genius" | ||

I am not meaning that offensive by any means. I am just wondering. He is known for being bad mannered and ... lets say, having very fragile emotions about winning and losing and stuff. And he seems very uncommunicative and introverted in his interviews and in every videos i saw. I wonder if there are people who say "Hey IdrA, these were some really nice moves, but here and there you could have made this or that a little better". Maybe he won't listen to those comments, and maybe he doesn't even want to listen to them. But that may come from his image, and by thinking that everybody just wants to troll him and make him angry. Just wondering.... I feel very sad for him. I think he has so much passion for this game, but he gets knocked down every single time and has only few successes. That must hurt. | ||

Congrats to MC and hoping for an MC/WhiteRa final. Why the hell would you vote for a PvP final, in which MC dominated whiteRa a week ago. Can WhiteRa take a game off MC? Sure if he plays perfectly and MC screws up, but 3 games? Nah At least with Sowj (sp?) he would have the advantage of MC not knowing his style. I think the aggressive QXCish style he has could throw MC off. Although the early def. from 4 gates would worry me as he did not handle Huk's 3 gate push very well (though its not the same as a scouted/ timed 4 gate push) so who knows. | ||

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 You'd have to actually play Zerg for an extend period of time to realize how frustrating stuff like this is. This happens to me so many times on ladder...try my ass of for minute advantages, get in a better position, play the game of my life, then lose to a Protoss because my attention lapsed for one second and he could capitalize. It's so discouraging i basically just don't ladder for an hour or two, if not leave the game for the rest of the day. Keep I'm mind I'm a noob who plays the game at low masters level for fun. It must be so much worse for some1 that actually does this for a living | ||

Yeah let's all keep pretending that ZvP isn't a fucking joke, and that any Protoss who doesn't smash any Zerg isn't failing at life. IdrA only even came back in Game 1 because MC decided that making a single void ray was a bad call, with a Ray he kills the 3rd base and the game is pretty well over. There's just no getting around the fact that a Zerg and Protoss of equal skill, balanced map, the Protoss should smash the Zerg. | ||

What i don't understand is that when, for instance, Huk is interviewed about PvZ balance he always says "Well, i don't think it's imbalanced, but i do think Zerg is much harder to play and it's harder for zerg to win" Uhm...so basically you are saying it's imbalanced. There is a difference between beeing much harder to play and imbalance | ||
