Idra is just terrifying at this event so far, I don't see him losing unless he gets way too over-confident or is surprised by some really creative/crazy cheese.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow! What a ride!

I don't necessarily disagree..but styles make a big difference. MC might be the best protoss here, but that doesn't mean his style matches up best against Idra. Not to mention, this is a grueling 3 day event and a lot can change from one day to the next. However, it does look very good for Idra fans at this point.

MMA > Select

Why do people keep forgetting the guy who is in the Ro16 of the Super Tournament?


and just took out one of the best protoss, when protoss isn't his specialty.

Anyways, the hype is affecting peoples judgement. Idra can easily lose plenty of bo3's to many of the players there. dde(took idra out just recently), mma, kiwi, mc(yes, 1 bo3 isn't everything), etc.

That doesn't change the fact that Idra just creamed one of the top 3 terrans at MLG. Right now, based on the way he's playing, I'm going to have to say Idra is the favourite (followed by MC and Naniwa).

Select isn't even a given to get out of the group, going 0-2 against the two best players in his group (and arguably at MLB), but still, it's 0-2, which is never good.

Vibe beat rsvp in Open R1... terrible unlucky with the seedings, both of them could've made it very far in the open bracket...

Pretty fucking sick how Zerg can get ahead by doing nothing except abusing superior macro mechanics and then whine about imbalance.




Seriously, these are some amazing games with amazing players.

And all you can see or do is balance whine.

GTFO


That comment was specifically adressed to Idra who like these kind of complains as well.
He got ahead by doing nothing, except using inject larvae and massing drones.
He was ahead by 20 drones and 50 food even before anying happened.

A useful talent toi have indeed.

I have to say I'm so impressed w/ how this MLG has gone so far.

The only 2 complaints of the stream are so minor its almost stupid to list ... but we are all nit picky nerds here so: 1. Let me switch between wide screen and 4:3 2. let me mute those loud ass commercials so i can watch both streams at once


But seriously : Awesome job Sundance & Co. /uber-impressed

If you think it's too hard there are solutions other than asking for a nerf, getting better is the first that comes to mind.

Idra just has a far deeper understanding of zerg than any other foreigner, he'll make razor sharp decisions and be like 1-2 units away from losing and then turn it around through nothing but clutch plays.

it looks pretty darn tough to beat a zerg if you don't get a lead in the early game. zergs with sick macro like idra kinda look unstoppable.


The key there is IdrA. Did you see Ret and MC? Ret was at 200 when MC was at like 120 or something rediculous, and MC schooled him.


there is 200supply and there is 200supply. A roaching zerg will max out on supply sooooo much faster then other styles. Roaches are extremly supplyineffecient

IdrA is looking good, but there is still MMA, ThorZain, NaNiwa and July unplayed, and MC may very well play better in a rematch.

He definitely could, but probably not today.

Or this weekend.

But Idra consistently beats Select. select has a lot of trouble against zerg. People are blowing idra's 2 wins out of proportion. I'm sure he'll do great, but I wouldn't count out many many other players who are still very much in this.
