So we have an international LAN tournament in China with several good Koreans attending and two guys from Europe, who the community usually doesn't give that much credit and although they're good, they're not top 5 EU for sure, make 2nd and 4th place and an American, who has been in absolutely terrible shape for months now, wins the whole thing and roflstomps Puma 3:0 on his way through? What is going on?

It showed Elfi at 90 and Idra at 30, I have no clue why Idra was that slow though.


New APM counter is broken. Patch broke it.

It's either a bug or you missread something. Idra is quite a fast player

I saw it too. Not sure if IdrA was going through hotkeys or just actually not doing anything... of course we know IdrA is much faster than elfi but it's still kind of weird o_O

Shaven before I'm pretty sure. Would be funny if at IPL everyone had shaved heads though :-p

No the APM showed Elfi at around 120 and jumping up and down and Idra at 30 then 20 then 17. Dunno why.

Didn't misread, others have said it. It probably was just a moment thing (maybe Idra was going 1-1 2-2 3-3 etc. to look at various places, that doesn't count as Actions per the new rule anymore).


Well if you are talking about a real time apm then who cares. I am quite sure his average was higher than 100 for sure.

Idra was 198/200 supply elfi was 170ish/200 supply thats why his APM was low at that moment!

Man that's not average apm :D +-50 apm is not average lol. You need to look at his avg apm when match going to end, and I am pretty sure it will be 120++

It's not actions per minute any more. It's actions blizzard deems worthy per blizzard minute.

Nope, Blizzard redefined how APM is determined in the latest patch and essentially turned it into a worthless number. It did actually show elfi with approximately 110 APM to Idra's 30 or so.

You guys should be happy that his APM is so low, that means almost everyone can do it!

kind of sad to see hasu lost against elfi after leading 2-0 and getting DTd and 4 gated out of the tournament... i think hasu vs idra wouldve been a more intersting finals.

Wooow, IdrA played sooo well and I was actually quite scared sometimes that he would egrackulate prematurely, there were so many scenarios were it could've happened too!

I kinda liked elfi's PvZ as well, cuz I was looking forward to see IdrA's PvZ, cuz he complained kinda a lot after the patch. I think the 2-Stargate-build by Elfi was insanely good and I actually hoped he wouldn't make any VR's, just phoenix', cuz VR's are pretty much an all-in investment and need to at least deny a third, but Phoenix are a very good harrassment-tool and if you mass them, they totally rip apart Hydras, Mutas etc.

What I didn't like by elfi was, that he didn't (ab)use the Immortal (from mid to lategame), nor the Prism (in the Lategame). I really think those two Units are very powerful now and I wanted to see them being used in a high-level game. I also didn't like Elfi's timing-attacks, cuz even though it may get IdrA to tilt, when he's playing on his highest level (which he definitely was in this IEM), he will simply crush the timing and then outmacro you soooo hard.

I also noticed that IdrA, when he's on top of his game, is extremely good at multi-pronged harrass with Drops, Nydus etc. and when he's kinda in a rut, he totally neglects those options and focuses too much on winning with standard-play and macro, although utilizing drops and Nydus can perfectly be implemented in your standard gameplan.

I don't care if IdrA is happy. He's probably not completely happy as he wanted to 3-0 elfi or he felt the final should be harder than the semi-final. But in the end, he won the tournament, and that's what matters.

I'm just happy to watch IdrA play. He's the Michael Jordan of SC2. Absolutely brilliant play and fast analysis.


Except the whole Michael Jordan being the best player at the time(and possibly EVER) and Idra not being the best player at any time. Other than that, exactly like MJ.


Idra is more like Shaq, a strong player with a bad attitude and a massive fanbase (myself included) who is able to stay relevant and highly paid whether he delivers results or not.
