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?


Don't even try it. People don't know how zerg macro works and they like to talk about that.

TL had really some sick nose to pick up hero. I know they had huk and jinro inside the house to notice him, but still, they picked him up right as he exploded in the scene (or he exploded in the scene because they picked him up).
I mean, his korean TLPD was fucking awful, and now his int TLPD is bonjwa-like (not that he is one, please don't make a 20 pages debate because I used that word) with all matchups over 70%.

If you're talking about exploding in foreign scene, then that's what'll happen if you take any solid Korean and put him in USA or Europe.

I know, but we don't see MC or any other korean protoss play PvZ that way (actually, he's the only one with some european protoss that can win PvZ atm)
It's not only that he's good, it's that he's better than a lot of koreans.


JYP plays a similiar style.

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.


I find it really strange or a letdown that Idra is having problems with multitasking, considering his profuse practice in Korea as a SC:BW Terran. I guess those days are passed. Although, I still think Idra has really great multitasking ability. I recall watching him vs. MVP on stream a few months ago (non-tournament) and his multitasking was really, really good. I think his mind is somewhere else, at the moment.

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.
8 upgraded chargelots >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 3 spines. That's how much they own spines.



but the 3 spines would be enough to buy time for any zerg to react in time...

Three spines do nothing against 6+ zealots, and 1 spore dies before spines can kill 3+ dt's. What made herO's play so strong was his positioning and army movement while harassing, not to mention expanding while he does all of this. 6 zealots in the main, 2 dt's at the 5th, collusi and stalker in the main after idra goes to main and defends the 6 zealots and snipes the greater spire. Just constant great play from Hero

Out of curiousity, how is it possible that not a single Korean gamer, who doesn't live in the US can speak english?


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?


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... -.-"


hahah so hilarious ^^

People acting like beating Idra in a PvZ is the end of protoss troubles lol. Sick play from hero but would he beat nestea or losira? Doubt it :/. Good warp prism play though.

He took 3 maps off DRG

So? Losira and nestea outclass DRG in ZvP.

Hm i know "no stream whine/complains" but --- It's buffering 24/7 here, nothings happening, anyone got the same problem?


TwitchTV seems to have a big problem. Watch the stream on Aftonbladet--it's only 1kr for PLUS the first month, and obviously you don't have to keep paying if you don't want to.
Education should be our seniors guiding us to be "who" we want to be, not "what" we want to be.

Why does the commentator say that Idra is playing extremely well all the time when he gets outplayed?


Because he loves idra amongst other reasons


Yeah Total Biscuit sounds like a complete Idra fanboy.

TB hates IdrA,


Dislike and hate are two different things, just saying.


Sorry, I was referring to Apollo. TB wants to be impartial and not make calls on fights
