Hearing the crowd laughing, screaming and cheering along with the casters makes this the best tournament ever.

Sure are a lot of people in this thread saying how idra should act, instead of saying how he could of won those games...

Oh well. Didn't expect him to beat MC anyway, no zerg will unless MC tries cheeses or something and fails.

There was a point in idrA's first game when MC had 2 colossus, 1 sentry, and 6 stalkers (after he had just warped 3 in); idrA had about 20-22 roaches and a couple hydras. His 4th was coming up soon and MC's 3rd had just finished. (Supplies were about 167-122 I believe). At that point idrA backed off entirely and sat back teching up, not even expanding again to the gold or anything. That was the chink in MC's armor that needed to be exploited. If you place July's mentality in that position, the pressure would have never stopped and MC would have been suffocated. Instead he retreated and defended, without getting as substantially further ahead as he could have.

I am a huge fan of idrA, and I have enjoyed his play since BW; but with his mentality in regards to how he plays, he may want to consider switching races. He seems to want to defend and death push with zerg, which doesn't really align with zerg play currently.

Why do so many people think Idra outplayed MC in that game? Was it because of the IMO poor commentary? The only chance Idra ever had at winning that game against MC was when he pushed MC's nat with roachs and overlords spewing creep. MC repelled that attack, and went on to stabilise and set himself up for a dominating position late game, yet the commentators kept talking about how MC is 'barely holding on' because he lost sentries in that battle =/

PS. I'm not crying zvp imba. MC out-played Idra the entire game, and deserved to win.


45 supply lead.




Doesn't mean a damn thing with a roach heavy army and crap tons of drones. Having more drones =/=outplaying your opponent. Nor does "having more supply" mean anything for zerg, since zerg is pretty much ALWAYS ahead by at least 20 or 30 unless both are maxed.

Zerg is fine, Toss is fine, the only problem is the players.

He has Liquid in his name... so....


his job is a perfectly acceptable answer

Idra is a progamer that represents EG. his objective should be to play to win and represent his team well. instead, Idra rages about ZvP and gives up by 6 pooling on Xel'Naga Caverns.

since when is 6p = giving up ffs?!

InControl - your criticism of IdrA is completely unwarranted. If you think that then go say it to his face. Don't lecture your teammate in public. Its embarassing for team EG and inappropriate for you professionally.


I do/have said it to his face you idiot.

Stop passing judgements when you have no idea. You aren't a pro. You aren't on our team and you have no idea what is acceptable to say publicly or not. You think I am the first pro to criticize a teammate when they make a mistake?


I'm surprised you're allowed to criticize your teamm8s in public if you are both under contract. :/ Is Idra big into poker? He really seems quite indifferent (from a pleb-ish spectator pov) to passing up opportunities for 5 figure sums, I would assume he's sitting on some sort of nest egg.
Meh.
