Considering the constant pressure Idra was on, there was very little room to tech, it was a very hard situation | ||

This is why IdrA fanboys have a bad rep btw... the balance whining never ends (from both sides) when IdrA loses. | ||

How about just be quiet when you have no idea what's going on, the game isn't all about fucking unit composition. All of the crying about Blink has been countered with a simple answer. Better Infestor timing. Pretty simple, really. Fungal's about as good of a hard counter as you can get to Blink. | ||

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. Some time ago he lost also to Nazgul to something similar. He said afterwards that hydras in time should stop it. Of course the game is not so simple, but pure roach (with some lings) is not the response to that for sure. And infestors came late. I'm sick of the new "blink stalkers are OP". I'm pretty sure Idra knows how to beat it, but when Idra saw 6gate+council he stopped to drone. Then Huk didn't attack and macroed, and then when the push came, Idra was simply not prepared for it. | ||

It's a lot easier for the zerg to just send armies to fight the protoss and not pay any attention whatsoever than for the protoss to do the same thing. For protoss to fight mass roaches you need: 1: favourable position/arc 2: favourable upgrades (because rarely will you have more blink stalkers than roaches due to roaches being 75/25) 3: good micro. Anything above 15-20 roaches do incredible dps vs stalkers and it actually isn't as easy as it seems to micro and reinforce at the same time. I agree but why do you then complain that zergs just A-move the roaches against blink and whine if that's the "right" thing to do? HuK was attacking idra and idra run away everytime he got to a choke. IdrA failed with upgrades but he got all the other things right. I was mostly picking on your "A-move" whine | ||
