You really can't blame anything else, he fucked up with his queens and drones. I agree. Although IdrA could not scout pass the ramp, he saw hellion since they drove down the ramp from Spade's base, at the Xel'Naga Tower and to his base. I think he had enough time to react by pulling drones back to his base and block it with queens. But again, if the game was played before MLG, he might not understand the Hellion build that great.
the build spade used is quite old.

Depends on maps though, xelnaga for example has a very exposed natural... very difficult.

Ya that was the shady thing. I hope they have an answer to this.

I could definitely see Demuslim doing really well against such a protoss heavy team - the only real threat being SLush since Demu's TvZ is relatively bad compared to his TvP and TvT.
If EG have Puma though, I can't imagine RGN being able to beat him. You have no idea how a best of 1 works do you Basically what you're saying is if a player loses a single game to an opponent, he is worse than the opponent.
I'm not saying IdrA is worse than Spades overall; I expected IdrA to beat him. But if IdrA didn't beat Spades, I have to believe Spades can beat Machine easily enough with some tricky build. Spades isn't a bad player, and Machine has nothing to show for months of practise.

I don't really know what this 'macro zerg style' is supposed to mean anymore. Anyone who isn't JulyZerg?

This is a very... comfy stream. Maybe it's the chicken soup I'm eating, maybe it's listening to CatsPajamas, this just has a nice feel to it.

The poll is that way largely because of the winner's league format, I bet most people who voted before the games started were expecting IdrA to all-kill Reign. So much for that

Queens and spores.
So i guess zerg should make roaches queens and spores every single game vs terran because its impossible to scout.

So, they sent idra out first to get sniped? :| even Mc lost his 2nd game against prime, it's just far too dangerous to send their ace first.

Not to sound like too big of a dick, but that wouldn't be too surprising. EG isn't that strong of a team other than IdrA and Puma. I am NOT saying that they don't have any other good teammates, but hopefully you get my point.

Well this likely means they will have Puma as an ace, otherwise yes I agree that isn't the best choice.

And if you are going roaches, yes, you should build queens (a given anyways) and a spore if you fear banshee.

He didn't have to scout, he saw the hellions coming after his ling died.
What did he think was going to happen? He had all the info he needed, all he needed was to pull his Drones into his main BEFORE the blue flames got to his base, block the ramp and make some spines at the natural to avoid getting it killed by the blue flames and wait it out whilst he either gets Muta or Roaches

Same applies to kiwi/slush, even to a greater extent.
