As a Protoss I can't see blink stalkers staying as they are PvZ, they're just too easy to use when you can empty the built up minerals during micro with 6-8+ warp gates. Also the "just made roaches" argument is equally as stupid as the "just made marauders" argument, they're a core unit.

Huk's blink micro was disgusting for most of that battle. He sometimes blinked forward, losing a few stalkers, and would blink all of them back rather than doing proper blink micro. He should have totally crushed Idra on that push.

This game was a BO loss basically, seeing as Toss will usually be ahead mid-game on this map and while both are blind, it's the zerg that needs the counter, not the other way around.

I don't think I've ever seen IdrA beat mass blink stalker in a tourney. Maybe his reaction time kinda screwed him, overreacted to the pressure and didnt have any drones to macro up qq. Very well played by Huk though.

IdrA scouts 6 gate, cuts drones to defend, HuK decides not to 6 gate, IdrA behind on drones and tech because he needed to defend the 6 gate, Protoss players tell IdrA to go Hydra Ling with Fungal Growth.

Pretty sick.

huk was 3-0 on upgrades whereas idra was only 1-0. theres no reason he shoulda won that anyways.

Give credit where its due, huk outplayed idra in this bo3.

Yes, because Zerg has chronoboost as well and can get +3 at the same time as toss

so funny how whenever IdrA loses, theres 50 pages of balance whiners..

3 spine crawlers, or 1 infestor.. and game over for Huk. Simple really.


this comment is so bias it makes the idra whiners look tame


You're joking right? It's pretty obvious that everytime Idra loses. The thread just blows into a whine fest.

wow, I guess I forgot about 50 pages cause I haven't seen it.

IdrA needed hydras against all of those stalkers. Roaches just don't cut it.


yep. also don't like the infestor in this situation. costs way too much.

lol, whenever he goes hydras against blink stalkers people say he needs infestors. whenever he goes infestors, people say he needs hydras. it came down to the upgrades, the late roach speed, no burrow, shit like that. not just what units he did/didn't get

Or for this specific time dropping a couple spine crawlers would have almost completely denied that push by HuK and giving him time to get his extra base up and infestors to RoflStomp through HuKs army. Sloppy decision making cost Idra that game had nothing to do with balance...

1 Infestor wouldn't have changed much, Infestor is more for damage now than actually locking stuff down. Old infestors would have helped bigtime for Idra though, the problem is locking them down, new Infestor doesn't really do that well.

Anyone know how IdrA could have done better? Seemed like he was in a good position, but blink stalkers are just so cost effective.


He overreacted to huk's 6gate which just put him behind and huk exploited it by expanding and going blinkstalkers

And Idra needs to learn how to deal with Blink rather than be mind-blocked about it!


Got a suggestion?

Teched asap to infestors- They came out when roaches were dead.

Hydras might have been out quicker - but without range upgrade they aren't doing very much dps with roaches in such a corridor.

Don't see how idrA could have handled the situation better at all.

He had plenty of minerals, low on gas, he could of thrown down a few spines. He had what - 900 mins near the end there?

I think Huk played that very well and i dont think the imbalance whining about blink stalkers is right, but i dont think that a few spines would have made any difference. with stalkers at +3 they just die in 1 volley and deal litterally no damage at all.

That was really impressive control by HUK. That could have gone south win one bad click or blink.

IDra should ask Stephano a bit more abpout "infestors" and "how to HUK" - he seems to know pretty well - he whiped the floor with HUK.

If you want to know "how to play against Protoss and demolishing them" - when the VODs are out: watch stephano vs HUK and stop ballance whining ; )

tbh, i can understand idra

me too, although he was very close to winning. infestor out a few seconds earlier would've won it.

This

oGs house 8 hours practice >>> 3 hours practice on NA ladder and a lot of bitching on SOTG

Excellent point. HuK has said he's frustrated in the past but he works so fucking hard instead of saying "well I'm not supposed to win"
