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

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! | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

They should've also requested a backhand slap for fun. Well considering Zenio doesn't speak English...actually nvm, an interview would have been awesome. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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