Idra;s fighting spirit?

Vortex + archons, there's no way to deal with it, especially since the NP nerf

I like seeing the player expressions after the match, it seems like the only time we get emotional reactions out of them in response to the game

Idra was defintely dead he could not reproduce his gas intensive units. Meanwhile Whitera took the map, got a huge macro advantage, and put down infinite photon cannons.

Seriously what the fuck was that? Is IdrA throwing games to try and make Protoss look OP? His macro was absolutely atrocious, he was floating 4k+ minerals pretty much the entire time. What the hell is the point in making so many Drones if you aren't even going to use them?

The drones became that wall of spinecrawlers and he floated 4k minerals because he had no gas. Learn to play please.

Great game. We need more unusual play like that from more people. Experimentation makes for some entertaining games when played well

Even though ground units coming out of the vortex spread out, it's not so much for air units. Hence it's still effective against air units. Hence, poor broodlords

actually that was a "good" gg. He only had +1 ranged on the way, and had nothing to kill the archons/colossi tearing his expansion up who were on 3/3. The warpprism was still ripping his expansion apart. Basically Idra was banking on his broods (correctly tbh) but the vortex turned the game.

I think he should have brought his queens up to focus down the mothership while it was chained, their AA attack isn't that bad, that probably would have turned the game into his favor, because whitera was really loosing units for free to the infestor/brood combination until the vortex happened.

Edit: for clarity, he had +3 on meele attack and some air upgrades, but against archons zerglings simply die no matter how many you have. Whitera was on 5 bases, Idra on 4 (and about to loose his 4th). Frankly Whitera outplayed him in game 3 (unlike game 1 and 2)

He had no gas, against a stalker, archon combination how are zerglings gonna do shit against it. Also white ra has 3000 1500, and could simply make archons and zerglings off of his like 12 gates, Think.

you can make zerglings off gateways?! :o

Lol, do HD and Pain not understand that Idra was dead.


Do you not understand he wasn't ?


Do you not understand that you can't listen to casters for everything? No gas, no larvae, and fewer bases = dead against a protoss with a standing army that's about to kill one of your mining bases. If you are going to try and be a hater at least make an attempt to be intellectual about it.

Idra raging or does he just not care about these games? I wouldn't be surprised by either to be honest.


Neither, the game was over. IdrA had no gas left and he wasn't gonna just mass lings into that =/

Any composition dies in an archon toilet?


It only only effectively works on broodlords now. Everything else spreads out on time but broods are so slow.
