I was so hoping to see more of spine crawlers front base aggression. Thank you, Idra!

edit: Nestea may be the first to have done it in official high-pro match, but we've been doing such things since beta.

awesome Nestea strat from idra xD. Had that robo been a stargate and he blocked with those FF's so that lings couldn't have gone by i think he could have held.

How has Incontrol never heard of Nestea doing this against anypro?? As a pro player I'd expect he'd know about such an innovative all-in.

A LOT of progamers don't follow the GSL

Love everyone that is complaining about an all in while IdrA takes a 3rd and would easily drone pump his economy way over a 2 base protoss. I'm guessing FE into Stargate shuts this build down pretty easily.

There's SOOO MUCH SC2, if you were to watch all the high-level games, you wouldn't actually have time to play yourself.

Would have been hilarious if Idra did the same thing on the second map, it's definitely possible here as well judging from the forge/cannon placement!

People kept calling idra retarded for doing roach all-ins vs MC, when in fact if you DON'T make that void ray it's EXTREMELY hard to hold.

Basically no one complained about idea cheesing?

Really shows you the difference between the build and building placement of MC and that of a top foreigner Protoss. MC's build is seemingly safe against this; Hasu's, not so much.

Hasu behind on the metagame. Simple as that.

Nestea played it better I think the hydras were not as all in as Idra's 1st game. If hasuorb had FF'd on time Idra might have lost the first one.

fast void rays shuts this down easy, I don't know another way if your forge fe'ing but I have only seen it done twice from idra and nestea but i do know the void ray does come out on time.

NesTea did it on a different map where his spines were able to get close enough to kill the nexus.

It was a completely different circumstance.
