Ling/Bling/Muta is standard vs T. Idk why so many people call it boring. Doing something other than that is risky and can lose you games.


edit: take stephanos style for example, it wins because people aren't used to it for the most part

Love it how every time someone does something different and it's working out, everyone jumps to the conclusion that they're just getting away with something silly because people aren't prepared for it. Usually based on some terrible theory crafting that fails to take 1000's of variables into account. Idra is especially good at this. :p

We dont call HuK boring for using blink, or hero for using blink all the time. And when was the last time we saw a terran do something that wasn't 'marine/tank/medi' vs T. Or mass rauder vs P?

yea, never


You serious? Hero is probably the least boring player in the world, he's up there with MMA.

funny how apolo call idra predictable when he is clearly much less predictable than someone like dimaga.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

Don't terrans go Marine/Tank/Medivac almost every single game as well?

Sure sometime they go thors, but sometimes Idra goes Ultras instead of broods.

Muta play is also way more interesting than infestor play because there is always some sort of harassment going on.


Yeah we saw a lot of harassment by idra during this series...

I mean, Muta/Ling/Bane is fun to watch when the zerg is active with his mutas. Idra just mass mutas and hope for his opponents to make a mistake. Then he goes for a winning push.

I have to say that at least game 2 was entertaining

while sjow does a marine tank medivac push...gotcha.

Also what do you want a zerg to do? lol roach rush? hydras?


What you did not get the memo. hydras are great against rin/tank xp.

as much as i am an idra fan though, show made a huge mistake going before shields, may of still lost his army but would of been in a lot better spot.

And idras style works for him, why change it if he feels most comfortable with it. Got him great results so far.

Why does Apollo keep talking up sjow so much? Idra is not 100% predictable, and Sjow doesn't seem able to keep up at all in his macro as well as making some really bad decisions last game about how far he moves his units into zerg territory.

Poor Huk! I didn't even get to see his games, but I feel that PvP is one of his trickiest matchups.

A 2 base muta ling timing attack was unpredictable from IdrA IMO.

The audio lag on stream is annoying me really badly.

Shit I was hoping for Sjow to go double reactor hellions, auto win against Idra.

Edit: Now he is doing it. Makes me happy.

Hope Sjow can take this map, I want a fifth game.

SjoW is his teammate...Plus his best is very very good, just his worst is very very bad which isn't so good

You misread entirely what i was saying.

I love HerO, more than i love HuK. But i do love both. But to say that they go 'blink' every single game in almost ever single MU and it not be boring is funny. Im just saying everybody has their styles. Nobody makes fun of MVP for playing marine/tank/medi 80 percent of the time vs Z. Every pro does it, consistency is better than diversity that's not refined.

Have you seen Idra play a non zvt? He doesn't do the same shit over and over either. His zvt is this way because he is the best foreigner zvt, and why change what works and what is traditionally standard?
