hahaha , yea you called it man. Your knowledge of the players and the current state of the game is impressive to say the least. I especially liked your article about the current state of protoss and MC.


Treehugger:
Elfi is one of those players who I keep expecting to start dropping off. He has a low APM Protoss style that more often then not relies upon surprise and unpredictability as opposed to sound theory.

Really don't get Idra, he defends stupidly multitask-intensive all-ins/harass plays EXTREMELY solidly, then when ahead he just throws it away. Bizarre.

Yeah, that was stupid. Terrible unit comp, he handled the harras so well, Idra's multi-tasking is still absolutely insane, just playing terrible unit comps.

Have you guys noticed that IdrA makes people famous when they beat him. I think we have to start realizing that IdrA just isn't that good though...

Why does Idra still play Roach / Hydra / Corr? It hasn't worked for months. I don't understand. It's like hes resigned himself to lose the second he sees a Protoss.

Idra seems to have this mindset that what he's doing is right and if the opponent does something that beats him, that opponent is abusing some OP unit.

He's been that way since BW, and he's been very vocal about it. It's annoying and fosters a really hateful group of people, but I doubt he'll change any time soon.

If you let all your hydras die then attack with them: no it won't

stalkers easily deal with hydra, they are shit lol

Blink stalkers with solid micro and support come out relatively even against hydras in equal numbers. In what world does that constitute easily dealing with them?


With solid blink micro, stalkers greatly beat equal numbers of hydra

With poor blink it's a close battle as long as theres no concave, lol.

Idra loses one drone to the harass and then proceeds to lose. Interesting game, so much harass from Elfi.

Idra is great against NA, but against EU/Korean he's below average.


He loses won games.
He loses late game vP.
He loses to Cheese.

But do not say he can't beat anyone not from NA. Because that is just dumb

Patting yourself on the back for predicting IdrA is going to fall apart in a ZvP is like predicting the tide is going to come in.

That game had very little to do with Elfi and everything to do with IdrA.

I think he would have been fine with mass spores and roaches. He could have stopped the third with pure roach.
Never make a hydralisk.

Its what people do in Korea. Losira uses it heavily, Nestea uses it some.
