EPTMLG Raleigh Day 1 BLUE Live Report Thread - Page 87
| Forum Index > StarCraft 2 Tournaments |
Obligatory public note for all large tournament threads: The following is a list of behaviors that will get immediate bans: 1. Whining about stream 2. Bashing other games 3. Flaming other users 4. Bashing players 5. Complaining about imbalance. It is in no way complete. Keep in mind that there's a difference between pointing out that the SC2 and CoD streams were switched and whining about it (same thing on pointing out/asking about stream lag and whining about it, etc.). Also, just because you post something and aren't immediately banned for it doesn't mean you won't get caught. We'll be going through this thread very carefully. That being said, enjoy today's games!

Sjow beat him why talk about who we think is "better" when we just saw the match. Sjow was better today. Exactly, sjow was just better today. Overall, Idra is still better. It's like the Cleveland Browns beating the Packers in one game. Doesn't mean Browns are better than the Packers, especially if it`s only one game (or one series in this case). And to be honest, Idra doesn`t have the same practise partners/environment as last time in Korea. So no, I don't think he'll improve THAT much again this time around. | ||

Now we are seeing earlier thirds, later mutas and heavier ling counts, which the muta count evens up as the game goes on but the ling count stays in favor of the faster third. I realy really really hate to see his playstyle stagnating like this, as we have seen in the IPL and his ZvP. I haven't seen his ZvP in the last few days but I hope he is playing a more updated style like Ret, in ling/infestor/brood/corruptor. | ||

No he wasnt a beast, he lost shitload of games left and right to mediocre players after coming back from Korea. I believe Day9 even called it the "Korean curse" or something like that. He won IPL season 1 which had a HORRIBLE lineup. That's it. Im beginning to see the power of brand marketing. | ||

Though I guess even with that, there's no excuse for making that many mutas without a few infestors...I dunno what was going through his head really ;/ he was muta drunk. | ||

And besides, mutalisks cost is well worth it considering what they bring to the table. I must ask, at what level do you play the game? Simple curiousity to where your opinions come from (no BM intended). I myself is far from a pro but can stand my ground against master Ts and probably win half. I'm decent, but my level of play means just as little as yours. It is an argument from authority. Lets try to stay away from logical fallacies in a discussion. Now, I agree that Zerg isn't cost efficient. So you must always be ahead in economy. The problem lies in the fact that zerg is also supply inefficient, and you cannot satisfy both of conditions for the whole game. You can't because you can't have both more drones and more units when you are both at 200 food. The argument is that as zerg you shouldn't allow them to get to 200 food, but this relies more on someone else making a mistake than on your skill. | ||

Beating Kiwi is horrible? Isn't everyone talking about what a beast Kiwi is? Huh. OHHHH RIGHT!! He's terrible for only winning an MLG, like Jinro, being Code S forever, like Jinro, beating Sheth in the finals of a tournament for a free trip to Korea 3 weeks ago, and 2-0ing Haypro. Man, losing to Bomber, one of the best TvZ in the world, and Dig.Sjow, a player Bomber called CODE S CALIBER on his twitter, makes him terrible. | ||

IdrA was hardly even a beast in Korea, and winning IPL was pretty much meaningless as it had very few top level foreign players in it. Frankly, he is the most overrated player in the world, because of Artosis and E.G. - the two greatest hype producers in foreign starcraft. | ||

Who were his playing partners the last time? I never read too much about him while he was over there. But with Huk and PuMa I'd say he's got two pretty good ones right there and being on the Korean ladder with no lag will be a pretty good boost. | ||
