I'll be happy to see Idra take 1 game from Puma

I think if Idra can play a reactive style of zerg instead of forcing his normal way he could do some damage to puma. Im not talking about changing up his 15 pool 15 hatch or anything but maybe try 2 base all in if he can get an early advantage or something. He needs to surprise Puma IMO. Im just a gold scrub but thats my opinion after watching greg stream.


I really hope IdrA can win something, and keep in mind they are teammates so they have probably practiced together. I doubt he'll be able to suprise Puma, but he might just be able to beat him.

I really hope I'm wrong, but beating Puma seems like a nearly impossible thing to do at this event (when he already lost to Jinro), an even if he managed that, the final boss would still definitely be a Protoss and, to be honest, IdrA's ZvP decision making has been largely uninspiring this event.

But I must admit, I thought he'd lose to Revival, so what do I know!


It's impossible, if he kills PuMa he has to play vP in the finals. We all know how that goes.


Yeah, I can't see how he would even beat Puma. He feels so far above everyone left in the tournament. I don't think the games will be even close.

I kind of want Elfittaja to win because it'd be a bit of a cinderella story, but I think he'll only end up in second place.

IdrA has the macro advantage. Did you guys SEE PuMa's supply blocks in the previous round? He makes 2 depots when he needs three to four. ONE game he was supply blocked... 8ish times?

Of course, PuMa's strategy relies around not getting to the macro part of the game. And it's not through harassment, it's through killing you. It's not gimmicky, it's strong. IdrA is great at holding off harassment/

So they are made to break each other, and PuMa's punch strikes first.

PREDICTIONS:
+ Show Spoiler +

3-1 PuMa.

IdrA emotion meter: I GOT THIS

Game 1: PuMa shows IdrA that he can bring the Pain early. 2 Rax pooling units, not bunker Rush. IdrA iS caught between bunker Rush and tank Push timing at 6:30. Attempted counter aTtacK fails, crushed.

IdrA emotion meter: ...Terran

Game 2: IdrA breathes a little and pulls out his Trap card, his strat he didn't WanT to use this early. He says, ""I Live in your house and I've been setting your custom games to slower! That's why you suck at macro!" It holds off PuMa like a BoSs. Enter the macro. Swarm FTW.

IdrA emotion meter: WhO's the Ace now, BITCH!?

Game 3: PuMa says, "Yea but I'M Korean." With a mix of turtling like a BoSs and slow Push mech PuMa takes a macro game eZpZ.

IdrA emotion meter: goddamn marines / Protoss OP

Game 4: PuMa's strategy will be for a quick win to save energy for the finals. IdrA knows HasuObs iS a beast and plays the game like it's ladder, g.g.'s without dragging it out so his teammate can rest.

IdrA emotion meter: meh/hungry

I'm pretty sure PuMa will take down IdrA, but the other game is a far more difficult bet..

I however think that HasuObs will take it 3-2, it'll be close, but I think he can do it.
What do you guys think?

Jinro did say in a tl thread that he was scared to go into a long macro game against Idra so that's a pretty big compliment but then again I doubt puma is going to be pushing for a long macro game either.

I just don't want Puma to win. He played HORRIBLY yesterday... If Idra can get to mid game in 3 of the games, he will win for sure. To be honest I don't expect macro games from Puma.

I just hope Puma doesn't win.

Yes he's a great player, but I'm just tired of seeing him sweep the competition in foreigner tournaments.

Im starting to become a puma anti-fan, not because i dont like the guy or anything, i just hate his playstyle and i always root for the under-dog.
