what I meant was had IdrA already had 3~4 banelings when Rain moved his medivac into ovie's sight.
stop trying to make excuses for idra. BFH + marine drop isn't even close to 1/1/1. idra just messed up. he could've defended it.

IdrA saw it coming with his ovies floating at his base. Had he morphed just 3 banelings, he could've reacted right away when Rain was dropping marines, waited outside, and just kill them right away when Rain picked up BFHs. So, that was purely IdrA's bad. No excuses.
Edit : I mean if IdrA already had a few banelings.

Gee, that sounds like a great idea. Keep the queens off creep next to the edge of the base to shoot at medivacs. Sounds like a great way to keep macro up. Why would IdrA spread creep to the edge of his base first instead of connecting his main to his natural -- especially if he didn't think or know that it was coming? (And how was idra supposed to scout? Rain had 3 overlords at the edge of his base to kill overlords, and idra already wasted a few lings trying to run into the main to scout.)
IdrA's banelings were spotted by rain and he knew that they were coming (he moved his marines back to the edge, off creep) -- no chance for that kind of hold.
so what else?

leenock beat it by spreading creep and shooting down the medivac with queens while it unloaded.
Fruitdealer beat it by letting the marines land, then hitting them with banelings when the medivac picked up the hellions., so the marines had nowhere to go.
it's perfectly stoppable. idra just had no units and no scouting information, and no preparation.

If you're so good, why don't you think of a way to beat it?

Haha Idra so bad
How is he still not anticipating/better preparing for this style after being beaten by it several times by Boxer at MLG...several weeks ago already?

I didn't mean you said OP, I meant another people, so I didn't quote your comment. Sorry for the confusion. I just wanted to say that drop play was perfectly defendable.
