Just watched the replay of game 1 from Idra vs Puma and this was 100 % weird.



Watch game 2....There was 3 pronged attacks from Puma all game long.

Does anyone else hear SC2 Terran sounds/someones music on the ESL stream? It sounds like I have someone's stream minimized and am watching the ESL stream

PuMa looked in pretty good shape splitting the map and turtling in game 1. I thought IdrA couldn't break the defense even though he was on 200/200 already. Of course IdrA then started the mutas/nydus/ultras/lings harrass which eventually won him the game

On game one Puma plays too passively, he's not the puma we're used to see.

For people who watched the idra games, was it a better showing of Idra improving or of Puma degressing?


Idra played very well as did puma though not as well in the 3rd game. Just because Puma lost doesn't mean he is degressing. People lose games. And he played great in the groups and against all the Protoss he played. I definitely think Idra played more to his potential.

was puma even trying? it kinda looks like he wasn't or maybe idra played that good? don't think so either.

I mean game 1 he didn't even make a move, and imo on games 2 and 3 there were moments when he could've done some serious damage but decided to either go chasing mutas or just show his army to idra then retreat and come back just after a full round of units spawned. gotta be quite honest here, those games are kinda bad.

IdrA metagamed him. Puma was expecting Broodlords after that ultra fast Spire and mass mutas so he passively expanded and stocked up on Ghosts. When the Ultras came he'd already lost.


Stop passive-aggressively hating on IdrA for stupid reasons, he played very well this game. So did Puma. He didn't scout the Ultra den, that was his only mistake.

hmm I don't think people are so infatuated with idra's play so much as he didn't botch his leads and kept getting ahead. it's been awhile since we've seen idra win games he should've won.

Large amounts of ghosts actually work well against ultras too, just not when there are 16 ultras out on the field at a time and the zerg has a large economy advantage.

Thats a really dumb comment to make. Who plays for a $6500 prize , makes it all the way to the end and then decides not to try. This is not the same as splitting the prize either as the loser of their match fights for 3rd place, which has a much much lower prize. Sometimes people say the weirdest things.

It's true. They can work quite nicely but it's not what you really want to have against Ultras. I think it takes 12 snipes to kill 1 Ultra compared to like... 6? 8? for a Broodlord, so they die slower, and they cleave, so they're quite good versus Marauder-less bio.
