Idra just didn't play well today, that's all there was to it really. There is no way any zerg in the world should be able to make a comeback from that kind of deficit. I've seen idra play lategame ZvZ and mass infestors plenty.

Idra can practice with players like Ret, Sen, etc., especially now that he's already played Sen, but when you take into account all the other events going on in EU/NA, it becomes more understandable why they might be hesitant to get together and train.

Idra's remaining opponents are both Terrans, though, so I imagine he'll be working on his ZvT in the coming days.

Idra will win his next 2 matches. Its not even debateable. Idra's pvt is unstoppable outside of korea.

Idra's ZvZ is awful it seems


IdrA himself said he wasn't so sure about his ZvZ since there's pretty much no good zerg player on NA server to play against.


How is it that every time Idra loses there is always an excuse to be found? Balance, race, wrong type of practice. Don't get me wrong, he is an amazing player and would crush me with both his hands tied behind his back. But this seems very disrespectful to players that won vs him, give them some credit plz? I mean really, is it not possible that someone would beat Idra simply because they are better at the game atm?

On a positive note, first time watching ZvZ and I really enjoyed it, as well as NASL in general, thanks!

Nope, Socke had no time to reschedule so Boxer got the 2-0 walk over.


What can be more important than playing against Boxer?

Idra has not played Boxer in his division of NASL while Boxer is leading in that same division. Therefore your point is pretty useless and clueless.

You did not live in Korea when Idra's in Korea, who are you to testify that they did all practice ZvZ together? Even now, if such ZvZ practice were to take place, would they call you up to observe? Stop with your irresponsible speculation.

manner gg from idra


how come no one makes a comment like this whenever ANY OTHER PLAYER says gg?

Because almost any other player doesn't have an inflated sense of their relative skill and disses competing players only to be completely outclassed by them later and blame it on imbalance or a build order win.

I'm disappointed that NASL couldn't do an interview with Zenio after that match. Lag or not it would've been awesome. They should've also requested a backhand slap for fun.

I don't want to point fingers, but I note that anyone who's ever been on a show with JP has lost their match today. It can't be a coincidence.

That's kind of the reason some people don't say gg all the time. When you say gg often, it loses some meaning. If you say gg only sparingly, it adds more meaning behind your gg's. For a random person a gg is given as a formality. To give it out as a compliment and to have it be significant, you need to have high standards on when you give a gg.

The SC2 foreigner scene is saddening. In BW, we were so far behind that we couldn't catch up. 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


I think his point is that foreigners are too content with being, as you said, "average"


The foreigner scene has, is ,and possibly always will be average compared to the korean scene. It's not exactly rocket science. About time people start realizing that the gap is going to widen with time, not shrink. It was exactly the same way with sc1.

Boxer and sen looks like they're gonna take the group imo, Boxer can beat the other 2 quite easily and I will bet 50/50 him vs idra, looking good for the emperor!

It's a pretty good point though. Who does IdrA have to practice ZvZ with? I mean there aren't any NA zergs on his level or on the level of many of any koreans. I mean the only other really strong zerg is NA is sheth. And when IdrA played him in a showmatch he easily handled Sheth.

Incidentally this is the same thing Select said way back when he lost to IdrA in MLG. He basically said there aren't any extremely strong zergs in NA to practice with so he had no idea how to play TvZ at the time.

IdrA probably needs to get on EU and try to get a bunch of practice there. Zergs like dimaga, darkforce, nerchio, ret etc. are much better practice than anything on the NA server. For whatever reason there just aren't that many strong zergs in NA.

And this isn't meant to take anything away from Zenio (or Sen for that matter). They were simply better than IdrA and absolutely deserved to win. The point of this is IdrA will likely never be able to beat them until he can find proper practice partners.

Actually Zenio translates Korean to English and the other way around in the oGs house.

Going to be an awesome finish for this group. Sen should have a spot in the top 2 secured but any of Zenio, IdrA and Boxer could take that second one.
