Idra sure as hell was not going roach hydra corruptor before he used mass infestors so i don't see why he is now. Roach hydra corruptor is countered by blink stalker, not colossus! At least go ling bane muta or ling bane infestor, but using a unit composition with 0 attacking potential is just not clever.

Be quite with that shit. If you wanna see how a zerg handle that unit composition watch Dimaga vs JYP.Idra been average for months and Elfi been in a hot streak for the past month. The better player won.


Lol, wooosh.

Roach hydra, so obsolete.


IdrA's mindset from his recent interview went something like this:

Blizzard nerfed infestors.

Infestors are now shit.

I don't build shit units
.

Back to roach hydra.


There is a contradiction somewhere in there...

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.

I think IdrA's problem is really that. He literally thinks that his race is so bad that at a certain build has no possible way to be defeated so he just botches the whole game.

What distinguishes Protoss players of Elfi's style is their contradictory willingness to play both long defensive games, and aggressive timing games. IdrA's ZvP vulnerability has long been against the former.


Sup?

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.

Ballin'!


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.

Hahahahahaha, touché!

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


I'd say more koreans just do strong roach/ling pushes/all ins currently than trying to win with hydra/roach/corrupter

Okay , so for the rest of the day I'm gonna predict this is what's gonna happen to idra.

Play awesomely for the early - mid game making opponent's early rushes and attacks look like child's play.

Die flat out in the late game because he refuses to tech to broodlords.

Don't see how idra gonna make it out of this group if he continues to neglect T3 units.

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

when did he say idra cant beat anyone outside NA?

I don't really understand what people expected Idra to do against that build other then roach hydra corrupter. He never would have held off the huge 2 base push without roach/hydra.

Maybe he just had to tech to hive and get broods faster after defending. No matter what though Elfi forced roach hydra corrupter.

Corruptors are the hydras that can fly.

Edit: Also Infestors are hard countered by colossus.
Never make a hydralisk.

He was always going roach hydra corruptor before he got on the infestor train. His honeymoon with baneling drops was sweet, but short.
