Idra attacked with 60-70 supply lead.
But yow.. everything is fine :D
well, its not very hard to get a huge supplylead against a teching protss if you only go roaches... roaches are extremly supplyinefficient and costs very little considering its supply. and everybody knows this... If getting a 60supply lead should be enough to win you games then sure, not that isnt true.

I confess; I fap to Artosis's voice. Is that weird? Does it make me a freak?

So, good idea here, let's talk about Strelok vs White Ra and not Idra. Who gives a damn? Mana is just better right now.
Nah bro, forum geniuses are busy solving ZvP imbalance for the 10000th time in a live report thread. Let them work.

Amazing game by White-Ra, really outclassing Strelok there.
Wish everyone would shut up about Idra and pay attention to these wonderful White-Ra games casted by Tastosis.

Smart move by whitera to break through his back rocks and expand to the upper left. Strelok thought he had a lead with his contain (which he kinda did initially) but he waited so long to expand himself. Then his army got caught out of position. Then whitera finished it.

You realise your first 3 posts in this thread were something along the lines of "protoss OP"
Could it be the day of 0-2 comebacks :p as much as i want White-Ra to win it would be pretty epic to watch Strelok come back from this.

Infestor. and blingdrops with some additional unit to buffer can crush that comp, something that many people have shown in the past. and roach/BL/infestor can aswell be extremly effective... are you really trying to say that roach/corruptor is the best way to handle it or what?

No Zerg's are rolling over a Toss that turtles properly on 3 base. Sorry, but that just isn't true. The DPS out of the Colossus is just too much when there more than just a couple. Add to that the ability to outrange everything, and then hold them there with force fields means there isn't much that you can do. The corrupter is a pathetic unit(even dustin browder has admitted this), but you need them to kill the colossus(arguably they are bad at that too with their short range). So you end up with supply that you can't use.
Mixing in Hydras would not have changed that, at a certain point they'll have enough blink stalkers to rotate them well enough so that they are much more cost effective. lolz. I know right, look at all that PvZ dominance in the GSL, and the two best foreigner protoss that were outside of Korea losing to mediocre zergs in Code A ro32.
While i dont think its unbeatable by any means, no player in code A is "mediocre" least of all check

Morrow does the infestor/blingdrop very well. God, he took like 5 games of Huk a few days ago on Huks stream. I think the final score was like 5-1.

Anyone else notice that Totalbiscuit said after Game 3 that he thought Idra was probably on tilt?
This is cast from Replays right? So obviously, and I thought this at the time, TB had some insider information there.
Could be wrong, but I thought the comment was odd by TB when he said it... and now its a bit suspicious since Idra obviously was very tilted in the 4th and 5th games.
IdrA often tilts. It wasn't that impressive of a prediction.
