Only standard openings are "good" because... well, since they're standard, it means they're probably the best opening. Now, standard strategies? That's different because by then you can get scouted and are just predictable. You're mapped out if you can only play standard, no matter how good you are, since there will be no surprises. The only reason why Idra is "good" is because he has decent macro, and that's it. While I definitely agree that Idra needs to mix it up strategy wise, I think it's pretty silly to say his macro is only "decent." He has world class macro, and I firmly believe he has the potential to be the best player in the world if his strategies were up to par. | ||

Did you even watch the games they played before, he straight 2-0'd IdrA in macro games, and in one he was extremely behind and still crushed IdrA. But I guess everything is a "build order loss", because IdrA is too awesome to lose any standard games. lol that coin must have "Zenio" on both sides | ||

If you know the guy is doing the same thing every time, it's no longer a coinflip. It's similar to how if I know that some guy always plays Rock first in RPS, I'll be playing Paper. Of course, he can meta-game me by playing Scissor first, but Idra is either incapable of or unwilling to consider such a simple concept. what? its not as if idra goes for infestor at the exact same time every game, therefore its a coin flip that he will be able to do enough damage before infestor come out. why are you talking about openings? Openings have NOTHING to do with this.... | ||

Openings have NOTHING to do with this.... The timing and investment for infestors to become useful is longer than mutas. He couldn't have had a reasonable amount of infestors out with the proper upgrades at that time, with the amount of roaches he was making. Again, this is like calling Jaedong vs Stork G2 Katrina a "coin flip" because Jaedong used a specific timing window. | ||
