He was 15 drones behind when he was on one base teching up infestors...he was miles behind. Zenio understands ZvZ more, which is a side effect of playing in korea. He is just better at the MU when he can go into mid-game Certainly looks like it. His hydra/roach composition just looked much better, the infestor usage, not floating tons of resources (sinking it in very useful spines) etc. | ||

Remember he changed team to EG so he can practice at his own pace because korean teams are too vigorous at training. ...wow. So much wrong with this post that I can't even bother dissecting it. Now is a good time for me to log off TL. | ||

In PvP, having 2 more stalkers is a big advantage in the early game, in ZvZ, being 20 supply ahead means nothing unless you can out-right kill your opponent. IdrA did not attack into zenios spine/infestor defense before roaches came out, and thus his "advantage" was meaningless. It's super easy to catch up if you just pump drones while your opponent makes units to try and kill you. Defenders advantage in ZvZ is insane compared to the other matchups. | ||

He's confident, because he is super fucking good, looks like its time to close the sc2 forums again, always the same nonsense. Idra stated that Sen was his biggest threat prior to the match, that's pretty close to saying he predicted that he would lose to Sen. As matter of fact Sen > Idra Zenio > Idra Do your homework before you poop nonsense at other people. | ||

The only other top foreigner Zergs that come to mind are Ret, Sen, MorroW and Dimaga, all European (except for Sen who's from Taiwan I believe). His only practice partner is Machine who has some holes in his play for sure. | ||

Zenio is a solid CodeS player, and he pulled a rabbit out of the hat to win game 2. When you have players at this level, that happens sometimes to everyone. I'm not really sure who's better between the two, but I'd like to see more games between them. It's sort of how I feel about Dimaga vs Nestea, in that I'm not convinced that Dimaga is better than Nestea. I think it's clear that idra is the best American zerg though.Also, Sen 2-0'd idra and Zenio. That's bossmode. Nestea is better than Sen, better than Zenio, better than Idra. He beat them before, not just opinion, check record. Sen defeated Idra 2-1, but Idra did a cheese with spine to take his only game. | ||

Ret would rather spend more time with that megumixbear female terran master than with Idra. Sen actually plays on NA server, but he screws Idra over by using Protoss, kinda funny. | ||

Now in SC2, tons of foreigners have the chance to be on the same level, but they abandon it because they don't want to sacrifice what it takes (more practice, moving to Korea, etc.) - I bet a lot of foreigners will have regrets in a few years, and even more fans will have regrets that the foreigner players decided not to try to be the best in exchange for the security of some chump change small prize pot online tourneys. Foreign sc2 actually offers way more money for the average player than korea | ||

In both games his plan was clear. get lots of infestors. While NA zergs wants to mass roaches then add 2 or 3 infestors if they can't end the game before, but they lose them due to bad control anyway and end up massing more roaches. Zenio just seems to be ahead in his ZvZ builds, perhaps he knows that NA zergs just mass roaches and uses a build only against that. | ||
