He does, but IdrA was making a lot of lings/banelings. Blink stalker is better in that case. He beat Ret with blink stalker/immortal/high templar in IEM or whatever it was that he played in last.

I kept asking "Why Banelings?"

His Hydra/Roach army crushed MC Last game

Idra what the hell. That was some ridiculously bad ZvP

Dear internet hater.

Have you tried playing a bo7 followed by a bo3 and then another bo3 and then another Bo3 against top koreans without any real break? Give the guy a break, he fucking crushed the earlier opponents and it was obvious that fatigue was a big factor

So happy for MC, would be so sick to see him back in code s , seems like he really trained up.
Another Toss in S would definetly be more entertaining than another terran

getting banelings against that much stalkers is just stupid. He knew how good MC's micro is and no way he could touch MC. Also 2 colossi only in the entire game while forcing corruptors were smart.

Idra GGs,amazing run by him,but he's just so bad vs Toss. I swear,Stephano or Morrow would have taken that game quite easily. I'm hoping MC gets into Code S,he deserves it and there will hopefully be less whining with a PvP final

it is unfortunate to have such exciting games in ZvT, and ending up seeing idrA lose to bad dropping and shakuras plateau.

Oh well, I'm heading to bed

hope to catch Huk vs MC if it gets to that spot.

why are protoss allowed to all-in and if it fails just expo out of it?

He didn't all in, all he did was snipe idrA's 3rd and then take his 3rd and play solid defense

Idra's concentration was awful this game. He was on 5 bases, yet didn't tech or change unit compositions. I don't understand why he wouldn't play mutas or even his trademark hydras.

He missed his injects.

He didn't even tech to hive.

Terrible play, in the worst possible time.

Idra's ZvP is just not as sharp as his ZvT. Could also be that he just had to play soooo many games in a row there whereas MC was fresh. Glad to see him stay in and try his best that game though, hopefully he can practice that matchup some more and do well in providence (he did afterall secure the #1 seed for providence with this awesome run.)

Also go go HuK > TheSTC, MC > TheSTC to setup MC for Code S and our first PvP finals!!

Poor Idra. Just like Nada in Raleigh he plays a couple of amazing series only to come up just short of the podium.

Well imo he has no reason to complain. He had the best pool group and advanced earlier due to the extended series rule he himself thinks is stupid.

Pretty impressive play though overall by him.
