Now imagine Hero's play with warp prisms never dieing, immortals being +1 range, infestors being useless vs colossi armies. Blizzard are clearly patching too early.

I believe any problem mid or late game should NOT be patched. Early game stuff such as 1-1-1, 5 rax reaper, 2 rax, 4 gate pvp, should be patched.

He almost lost 1 prism, he used no Immortals and the game was over when NP came into play...


imagine if hero was actually playing someone on his level.

Before you can talk about balance, at least do it between two players who are equally skilled.

Hero is on another level.

but Hero dropped the main too and Idra's one-hotkey army all went to the main instead of splitting off some units and first taking out the Zealots.



This.

Really sloppy play there, could have easily cleaned up the drop at his 5th and potentially dealt with the drop in his main If he didn't have his entire army on 1 Hotkey.

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


I agree. Him also fully dedicating a year to being a fulltime professional is quite the scary proposition.


Imagine if he decides to move to Korea for a while. He will become a monster.

And the most funny thing, he doesnt have a crazy apm. He is so relaxed while playing, makes it look so easy to stomp people on ladder.

100% agree with this. Think blizzard should consider buffing zerg static defences. The overall cost (minerals + larva) is way more then other races have to put in. In order to feel relatively save against harrasement that Hero shows, you need around 6+ spine crawlers in each base/expo.

I have a feeling Idra isn't even trying anymore.


It's funny because when he streams NA:Grandmaster, he's much more skilled than the players and just gets bored. Obviously that's NA, but he's also on the same practice schedule as the others in EG house. I don't think he's giving up at all, but (like usual) it's part of his psychology. Considering his statements about Protoss all along; he believes that it's an unfair matchup (to say it lightly).

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.


You guys know he and IdrA had a bit of a e-fight over Twitter? Some unpleasant words were exchanged. Of course that was a long time ago and it would be unprofessional of TB to hold a grudge but yeah, it's funny in hindsight that he's apparently a big idra-admirer now.


Just listen to the commentary and see how many times he effusively praises some sort of mediocre Idra move. Maybe he's overcompensating for what happened before.

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.


You do realise european languages also come from different language groups right ?

I mean my language is nothing even remotely similar to english (slovenian) but I've just been learning it from the internets for long enough to become second nature, but sayting all EU languages and english are relatively similar is just REALY ignorant


Europeans frequently travel to neighboring countries and it is important to know a multitude of languages to better community, not to mention the cultural similarities to other English speaking nations. Korea, on the other hand, has only frequently emerged as a fully developed country. Learning English isn't as important as learning another Asian language like Chinese. It is like asking a native Russian why he can't speak Portuguese.

Yeah Serbian and Swedish are quite similar. JKJK but most of the european languages are from the same language tree except for finnish and eastern european countries
