I wish you knew what you were talking about.


are you fucking kidding me, I wish you knew who you were talking too. Hydras are terrible against stargate, they set you up into being forced into retarded transitons. If you see double stargate, build spire, build corruptors, add ling/bane... profit... don't believe me, ask Nestea.

I really don't think "wp" is justified here. You clearly saw that elfi lacked the multitasking ability to use his stuff to higher potential. Idle stuff here, idle units there, many overmins here ... However, it was too much for IdrA to handle and elfi got lucky.

I'm sorry, but that wasn't well played by delfi, it was just poorly played by IdrA.

Omagaaad.. Idra played like shit, not sniping the warp prism, and wasting res even though he failed at suprise and ff. Let the RAGE come.

It's funny how after grack said Elfi played "abusive," everyone in the LR thread is suddenly throwing that meaningless adjective at him.

It's a legitimate strategy and part of the game. IdrA could easily scouted it, but he didn't and paid for it. The warp prism flew right over his lings, yet IdrA didn't move forces to the edge of his base to deny it. etc etc.

Elfi played a somewhat original aggressive build, and it paid off. Now shut it, and watch the games.

wow now elfi has to go "normal game". He is not playing this for the money, but for the respect of Zooper31 on TeamLiquid.net. Seriously who the f*** cares about the money anyways!


Is it really so much to ask for a player not to all-in every single game in the finals? I feel like that is like the smallest thing to ask for as a spectator.


Players should play to win. If they do anything else, they're dumb. They're not here for spectators. They're here to win.


Yes winning is all that matters but if they want to keep any kind of fanbase they have to have real games and not be a BitByBit.

I haven't seen Elfi doing 1 base zealot/worker (what would be the Protoss version of BitByBit's play) all-ins every game. Most of his games in this tourney have been macro games.

what should he go?


Corruptors are pretty bossmode against phoenix

You are of course aware that the cost of getting enough corrupters to deal with the pretty decent number of phoenixes out would have left idra with no ability to combat elfi's constant ground army warp-ins, yes?

He's gained tons of fans, I am one of them. He doesn't need to please people like you who will cry about everything. If the roles were reversed and it was IdrA doing builds like this he would be praised, not shit on pointlessly by complainers like you.

You do realize that his push was triggerd by the scouted quick 3rd by idra - go spread your hate equally among the players


Um no it wasn't. He had 2stargates stupid fast, he had this planned.

Seeing the bias - I wish you lots of fun not enjoying the games with your point of view. I for my part am

And a fanbase is important to them winning why?


I'll just stop responding since it's stupid of me to keep argueing my point when it should be obvious.

He doesn't need you as a fan. He needs the money more than anything else. There are many people out here who clearly approve of his strategies. If it bores the hell out of you, you can simply switch off the stream.

Idra's ZvT is a lot better then his ZvP. We have known this since forever.

Yeah but you don't lose to someone like TriMaster (very good NA terran) to win later against a very good... korean terran 3-0.
