Gay shit into macro lose into gay shit. Stereotypical terran

Idra abuses late zergling speed into spire but no one is complaining, someone does build that punish it, he is lame?

That build doesn't punish late zergling speed....>_> It punishes zergs who don't go roach. And no zerg ever wants to go roach because they're terrible terrible units...>_>

thats what idra told you right? well good zergs dont die to marauder hellion. its simple as that

It has nothing to do with Idra. Roaches cost gas, which delays our tech. And realistically you're not going to win a game using roaches unless they go pure mech or you all in when they over commit to hellions. There's a reason why it's taken forever for zergs to start making roaches in ZvT to these heavily hellion based openings.

Hellion marauder is an auto loss to Muta. That's a fact. It's a coin flip build. TheSTC is a good player, but hellion marauder is a coin flip build where you just hope they don't scout a marauder or else you just lose.

It's not a coinflip. The build wasn't all in, even if idra got mutas out that wouldn't have ended the game when you can just make marines out of 3 rax and have 2 turrets up to deflect. Also 3 marauders and a few helions will hit way before mutas are even close to being out. Expo, tech, upgrades, STC had it all, he was just using what he didn't need anymore.

would this game be exciting if both players knew that they couldnt get attacked or die during the first 20 minutes? I think not. Cheese, timing attacks, greedy play, all part of the game and what makes starcraft such a great game, both to play and to watch, imho.

Well said. I concur.


Play Broodwar and come back later

Everything a terran does to Idra is either cheese or allin, what he did to thorzain in game 1 was brilliant exceptional play...please shut up stupid blind fanboys.

this, idra cheesed thorzain earlier and everything was fine but when he gets punished for greedy play his fanboys are raging hahaha stupidity has no limits.

TheStC showed that he's no where near Idra's level as a mechanical player. He went CC first on Shakuras Plateu and cut every corner possible to macro up and still got clowned by Idra's macro mechanics.

He showed that Idra is still weak to really strong semi-allin aggression builds, as Idra always has been. TheStC was the better strategist today, nowhere near the better (or even skill) player.

lol so what your saying is the player with better mechanics is the better player in a strategy game amirite?
LOL
StC was the better strategist in a strategy game
doesnt that make him the better player? LOL


i agree, i just think in game 2 he didn't have FAIL macro, he just didn't use tanks enough earlier on in his macro game...bad unit choices for game 2

He got behind because he did a silly attack tht and lost all his units. His mechanics are actually amazing and u could see tht by how well he did to stay in the game.

Idra played it extremely safe... he could have easily rolled him with ling/baneling and parked mutas over his production facilities, but Idra decided to go for broods to ensure 100% victory

At all the "Terran op" guys.. If u scout reactor hellion expand you either need roaches or sim-city. Idra instead was blindly massing drones. Bad scouting and decision making has nothing to do with game balance


Indeed. It's easy enough to totally nullify that with static defence and go mutas.


I was very surprised at Idras play in game 3. In his games against Artist (Round of 32) he basically had 2-3 spines on two bases no matter what. Now he had 1, and the queen didnt block the ramp. Was very weird to see, like Idra totally forgot how he played the day before

All-in? No SCVs pulled, early expo behind, has reactors, tech labs, not that all-innish for me.


Its nearly all in. The marauder/hellion push is made to hit before mutas and leaves the terran with very little options to deal with mutas if the zerg holds it off. Terran is forced into mass turrets to defend which leaves the zerg free to expand/tech and the terran has to hit some sort of later two base timing or super turtle play. Marauder hellion use to be super popular back around release, and every 1 out of 3 games was the marauder/hellion push. Best way to handle it imo opinion is a ton of lings. Roaches get eaten alive by marauders for cost and eat up gas that you want to put into mutas later on. Lings with a couple spinecrawlers ends up being a lot of dancing around the edge of the creep not letting the terran kill the spinecrawler. Unfortunately if the terran is smart and doesn't let you scout the marauders/ barracks with tech lab you have to make a ton of lings blind.
