No player/caster bashing, or balance whining. Bans will be handed out like candy. (page 217) No sexist jokes or anything of that nature either. Be mature people. | ||

The burrowed roaches and gold base harass was some impressive maneuvering, but you should have just killed him ffs. He should've made som god damn infestors.. Always the late infestors that gets him in these kinds of games... T_T | ||

That infestor timing Nestea hit was designed to be a kill button. While IdrA was way ahead in macro, he was behind on tech, and the infestor tech gives you such a huge advantage in fights that IdrA really could not hold 200/200 vs. 200/200. And once you lose the 200/200 battle in such close range to your bases, you're practically dead if the opponent can reinforce at all. Nestea made sure he had the bank for at least 1-2 rounds of reinforcements when he made that attack. IdrA had enough bank for 3-4, but it didn't matter because he couldn't group his units back together. Macro isn't everything. IdrA played the "when ahead, get ahead" game, but he lost in the end to a timing attack that hit right before his macro advantage could kick in. It's like a repeat of the first game, actually, except with the roles switched. | ||

So much stuff is going through your head at those moments it's hard to remember extra spines/earlier infestors/extra hatches. Sad that he had so much of a lead and capitalize but it's not easy at that level, your mind is flooded with different task. | ||

Tech that he used to its fullest extent(see the Roaches stuck in the ramp by the fungal) to win the engagement. Seriously, its not that bad to have less bases if you are ahead on tech and if you use that tech to deny the advantage. I seriously think some of you guys just count the number of bases and don´t actually see the game. Oh and the 16 drones killed? That wasn´t really such a big deal, idra lost a ton more with the 1st attack. Dude, it's fine. Let the people enjoy the games they've seen in their own way. | ||

Nestea has better decision making, and Idra better macro. Although, I'm not sure about that too. Idra killed 16 droens of Nestea's and still Nestea was on even foot with Idra in drones count. | ||

Idra is a boss as well, and he really understands the mirror matchup. Game 1 went back and forth on amazingly tight timings. Games came down to crucial decisions and tactics. Amazing to watch. | ||
