Idra assumed a Roach all-in was coming is my bet. Considering he'd just been droning to catch back up after being very aggressive early he wouldn't have been able to hold it.

Not sure why they believe he shouldn't GG there, it was completely over. Roaches, 2 hatch and drone advantage to Sen. No way Sen was going to lose that.

In case you didn't know, Sen is pretty fucking good too.

He was behind, and maybe nine times out of ten Idra loses that if they play it out. But 10% of the time he gets lucky takes the series. It wasn't like he was 99% out of it. EYE OF THE TIGER!

Ironically, I think IdrA had TOO much respect for Sen in that game. He should have at least tried to play it out.

I feel like the fast gg was justified. Idra can't win from that position unless sen has a seizure or something.

Agreed, Idra has no chance at every catching up to Sen at that point.


Idra was up in drones, laying down an expansion.

For sen, he was beginning to drone up, but didn't immediately do it. Thus he was neither as far ahead as he could have been economically or militarily(didn't commit to counter all in.) He just saw a bunch of zerglings, and was definitely not going to push out for at least a couple minutes, by which time Idra would have had his hatchery up and in a decent, albeit not preferred, position.

Way to early to gg.

Nice theorycrafting there, Mister Dustin Browder.



Don't be an idiot. You don't understand ZvZ at all. 2 bases to 1 with a significant roach count on that map is impossible to beat at that point because of chokes and the production rate. Even if that wasn't the case, sen could just drone twice as fast and outpass him in a macro game


Considering you have a terran icon, I hope you are actually zerg and don't just *watch* zvz.

Roaches aren't everything until they get that critical mass. As long as speedlings can get a surround, they are an adequete response to roaches. 25 zerglings can kill 5 roaches, for instance. Furthormore Sen was not hardcore droning, Idra did not know if he was, and Idra was also getting an expansion.

Boxer has a lot to learn from Idra as far as gg timings.

If Sen wins this, there'll be a triple tie between them and BoxeR for first place

He had more drones than Sen. Sen probably could have killed him with a counterattack, but at least make him do it.


Sen had a tech, unit and expansion advantage. Idra would need to get roach tech, another Hatch and some units before he could drone, Sen was about to go into heavy Drone mode or heavy allin mode, either is a good choice.

Was Idra probably going to end up losing that game? Yes. But he gg'ed way too early. He always just assumes perfect play from his opponent, and it infuriates me. There's no telling how many games he's lost that he could've came back and won because he just assumes a disadvantage = loss. -_-

no one can recover from that, even if sen does a huge blunder which is very unlikely with roaches

I fully support Idra's GG timings. Much prefer that than players who play on 5-10 minutes too long.
