Every tournament I'm usually sick of Idra because of his stubbornly readable style and weak mental state, but props to his improvement!

MC's play was awesome. Thought those banes would crush his stalker ball for sure but I guess that ninja kill of Idra's third gave him enough stalkers in the end.

And he did kill the third because of idra's eco cheese. All in is good counter to cheese.

I may be a bit of an Idra fanboy but seriously regardless what some people might've said I think the amount of hardcore games he had to play in a row had to have had some effect on his play. I'm far from a pro but I feel my ability dwindles after only 3 games ;P They should've allowed the poor guy a bit of a break in my opinion. Perhaps run the stc vs huk game in between one of the series.


Diverzee you do realize MC had to play the exact same amount as Idra did right?


MC did get a longer break. His side was a bo3 ahead of IdrA's since the bo7 took place. Still not that big of a reason to have.

To the guy who said IdrA doesn't deserve code S your horribly wrong. He beat one of the best terrans in the world. If you can go toe to toe with bomber and say you won.. means you probably are code s material.

Dual Sight is different than Shakuras. Dual Sight the toss is stuck on 2 bases and usually stays on gateway tech where Hydras destroy everything.

I think Idra had a good showing this MLG even though he's out now. I can see that he's definitely picked up his play. People shouldn't cry so much if their favorite player got knocked out.

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


I doubt fatigue was a big factor, Idra does this in a LOT of ZvPs, he doesn't quite play the matchup that well.


i can only say it again

IDRA HIMSELF said that fatigue is merely just an excuse
those guys practice against the best of the best player for hours every day

just accept that he lost
the games were awesome

huk is already code S and idra is the last foreigner out, does this mean idra gets code A?

technically, yes, if he accepts it. I don't knows if he will tho. I guess it's gonna depend on when EG sends him to Korea actually.

I agree, I don't think IdrA will accept it.

you realize there is a PvP regardless and that you have 0 idea about the new PvP metagame right? ^^
Not necessarily. If huk beats thestc and thestc beats mc we will have 3 TvPs in a row.

I don't know why Protoss players try so many two base all-ins. Look at games 1 and 2 of Idra vs MC. 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.

Show me how a protoss can hold a third against a top zerg on Dual Sight, plz?

Gotta agree with this, balance is one thing, but protoss is effing boring, storm and reaver in BW were a joy to watch.

I always feel a little brain-damaged reading the LR thread after an Idra game. Don't get me wrong, steph fans are pretty bad too but oh boy, Idra's fans are still the worst :/

Sees voidray/colossus/blinkstalkers/HT/archon

?????? I don't get it.


Well what unit would you pick against that sort of deathball? MC was on 4 base economy, at that stage protoss can complain about having weak units but it won't matter because they just stream out so fast. He could have hoped for a large baneling hit to kill off most of the stalkers to overwhelm the ground army, or transition into curling up in a ball and waiting for heart of the swarm to come out. idrA decided that he had better things to do, so he went for banelings.


He could have gone for infestors

Well, that could contribute to my point as well. I think a lot of us felt the Idra vs MC games were not as good as the Idra Bomber games. If the guys would've been allowed some rest before their game (and huk vs stc during it) I think their epic rematch would've been more epic.


So what about when the winner of Idra/MC would have had to play another game straight after? I get the feeling the games weren't as good as Idra is far worse at ZvP

Protoss bonjwa looks to be back so far! MC has played amazing so far at this mlg and totally outclassed Idra that series.

Outclassed Idra, sure. Looks to be back? Rofl. I'd say Sase looks way better. Huk is on a different level than MC as well. (Though with PvP anything is possible)


Lol sase? Just no. Maybe when he can win a freaking series in code a especially against fruit dealer, then I'll say sase is good. Until then, he doesn't hold a candle to MC.



SaSe's PvZ is his worst matchup by FAR, he beat BOMBER in one of his only shown PvT games and beat god knows how many protoss with his revolutionary play.

Lol how obvious was it to you? SO obvious? Like 100% fatigue was a factor, without a doubt?

He may be an internet hater but you're an internet fanboy :p

StC vs MC Finals please! go go go!


Yeah, really, I know that these players are very good and it probably takes a little more out of you than most opponents, but if you can practice up to ten hours a day, then you should be able to play for four hours. And honestly, a ton of people in this tourney have to play many consecutive games. If Idra doesn't have the stamina for it, that's his problem. He even says it's a silly excuse.
They're fools. You should eat them.

sigh why the hell would u ROLL banelings into blink stalkers....... atleast put them into the damn overlords -_-; he was doing so well then he makes a stupid decision like that which costed him the game. i have no idea why ANYONE would ROLL banelings into a blink stalker+ templar army.......

idra should also start going mutas in ZvP. corruptors are such a useless unit in ZvP. atleast the mutas can harass and take on stalkers in engagements if need be. corruptors on the other hand is just useless and wasted supply.

that game made me just rage quit watching MLG.
