Give the guy a break

He was tired, barely defended a Phoenix opener after doing a fast 2nd expo gambit against the world's best Starcraft 2 player, managed to come out on top mid game, botched his lead through mistakes (and on MC's part, great drops and well defended gold expo), tried to secure his win without being too hasty which was another mistake, made the ultimate PvZ unit and thought he could win with his Brood Lord/Hydra army but ended up getting obliterated by an unscouted Psi Storm (this seriously came out of nowhere from Idra's perspective) and bad positioning.

This is against the World Champion. They played the most straight up macro game I've seen in a while and Idra lost. He knew MC was better than him and couldn't go through the whole process of another long macro game with all the pressure so he tried a cheese.

I don't blame him. I don't see why some people see it as a balance issue too, all games have little balance issues but I honestly don't believe Idra's decision to cheese was caused by the balance of the game.

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

If a pro-athlete did what idra did just did in that series then their coach would have chewed him the fuck out and probably benched him from playing. And as a spectator - it is simply pathetic to watch - and not entertaining at all. You can't let frustration get the best of you - as a competitor you have to to play your best and try until the very end.
