Stephano is the future of foreign zergs IMO. Guy is way better mechanically and strategically than Idra.

Makes me wonder what protosses have to say after that. " gateway units are blah blah blah blah against infestors blah" lol..

Erm.. he was banking 6k minerals at one point, he could afford it easily. Also, even 5 spines at every base would have helped him immensely, buying time to defend / outright denying the zealotpressure.

He could however not afford losing bases and tech left and right to prism-harass.

Didn't you see him floating something like 4k minerals?


Didn't you see how fast he used half of the minerals when he had the chance?

Actually they are right, there is no excuse for having that much mineral.
You can always replace those drones (and it is even easier with macro hatchs).

He only needs 3 Spines +1 Spore and 1 OverLord spotting around each base and everything's fine.

Can you speak Korean?

I can speak my native language, english, german and spanish.

Edit: But that's not the point. Most of the people who play computer games online have a good grasp of the English language. I'm just curious why Koreans don't?


well if you're in front of a huge crowd speaking in a foreign language, you dont really speak much, would it be comfortable for you? lets say you participate in this dreamhack and they wanted an interview in spanish with you, would you rather have a danish/spanish translator or do it in spanish.

Also you can't really compare you knowing so many languages with koreans not knowing them. Btw most koreans know a lot of english and are way more gosu writing english than us non native english speakers. So I think theres a difference in knowing and speaking :D

And it's still sc2, so korea<->foreigners, nobody really cares if they speak english or not.

I think Idra really has problems with his unit control and multitasking right now. Basically, when it was battles on a single front, Idra was ahead all the time, he chose his battles well. But when HerO started using warp prisms for multi pronged harass, Idra crumbled very importantly.

It seemed like he just wasn't watching enough places when required, he lost his 4th to zealot pushes twice and got his 5th delayed horribly, and by the time HerO pushed through the main Idra's forces had already taken massive damage from all the harass. He lost a whole lot of roaches to zealots... zealots aren't supposed to kill roaches.

my understanding is that most of them can speak some english but they wont speak it because they think its bad (And maybe it is) so they dont do it

thats what i like about mc for example. he has the balls to at least try to do his best in speaking a foreign language


Yeah

MC is so ballsy in general though..

dude you need to micro a single target spell with a slow ass tier 3 unit. a few infestors can kill 15 stalkers in like 10 sec with them unable to retaliate. so not sure what your point is. i guess it is "idra got spanked wtf blasphemy"

You do realize that while European languages are relatively similar to each other. They are very different from Asian language, right? It's much easier for Koreans to learn languages like Japanese, or Chinese too.


Yeah, sure. Italian and German are very similar... -.-"

Nice generalization there. I doubt many would laugh at Idra for that series against Hero. Hero was just nuts that game.

Idra just needs to get back to Korea and practice properly. Travelling for hours to see Deadmau5 and playing against Incontrol (who has other committments than playing) for ZvP is not good practice. NA ladder is also trash for practice expecially against tight play like the Korean's

Idra had 5K minerals.

Solution:
1. make 2 extra hatches
2. make several spines at every base
3. rebuild the mining drones (without suffering larva deficits due to extra hatches from point 1.)

Why not? He was banking so much minerals anyway. The amount of minerals Hero spent on Zealots to take out Idra's bases would've been more than the minerals it would take to make spines.

Why would you laugh at someone that lost to a better player? Loosing to someone better doesnt make you a bad player. Would guess that alot of the pros would loose 2-0 agaist that level of play from HerO.

Woop Woop!
