And again, Idra stated very clearly during IPL3 that progamers are used to playing many many hours of games straight. So you are disrespecting him by using the lame fatigue excuse. You are a bad fanboy. | ||

Game 1 MC takes a third, defends it by sitting his units in the middle of the three bases, macros up a bunch of collosus, pushes out and wins. Game two, MC tries to do chargelot archon on two base vs a Idra who always goes roach. MC doesn't ever take a third base, Idra gets 4+ bases and wins. Game 3 MC gets a huge advantage off a two base push, but only because he essentially tricked idra with the push. If idra sees that coming (which I suppose he probably should have) There's a good chance that Idra holds it while taking an advantage. It's all about the maps. It's pretty much impossible to take a safe third as protoss in Dual Sight. | ||

IdrA had to play so many people one after another and MC just gets to come in do a blink stalker build and wave his hands around in victory. lol idra fans are the best. they cry every time he loses. MC played the same number of games to get here. | ||

The other guy makes the decisions, its up to Zerg to respond properly. So naturally they will focus more on the P or T and see what Idra is doing in relation. | ||

MC did 2 base on dual sight because its an awful map where Protoss is not able to take a 3rd. The other games MC macro'd up. Whats your point? | ||

In face of that sea of bstalkers, pure well upgraded lings and infestors are way better, cheaper, easy to reproduce than broodlords imo. Well, unless he manage to morph like 10 blords at once so he get an insta-critical mass. But that's hard to do without dying. Idra trying too much thing, the banelings burst do no damage, he should have do blings drop, instead of suiciding blings into blink stalkers like that, without infestors. And that strat from MC is crazily smart, he get voidray out to clear the overlord from the map, then making a secret blink stalkers army and kill the third when Idra dont even know MC moved out yet. It totally caught Idra off guard. | ||

However, IdrA did say at the IPL player panels that pros are expected to do this and most of them dont get as tried as fans may think. This is because they play for hours on end regularly. Despite his comments, he probably did feel some mental and physical fatigue cause those were pretty intense games. Either well, well played by MC, hope he gets his code S spot, hes so close now. | ||

Why would you go bane/roach instead of infestor/roach is beyond me, banes are absolutely horrible against a player of MC's caliber as a little blinking completely avoids their splash damage. Bane drops are just terrible in ZvP if you are using roaches as well since P knows how to micro against it now. I'm happy MC won though and I hope he reclaims his code S spot, he definately deserves to be there, he is still the best protoss and he has defined alot of the popular strats. Meh, Stephano and Nerchio probably have better ZvPs than IdrA. It's his worst MU even though no foreigner Zerg is really that great at it. IdrA just doesn't understand ZvP all that well and it's been his mental block since Beta. | ||
