Here we go again. This weekend is about good games and good fun. Don't rain on that parade. Play nice guys. Here's the very standard and friendly: - NO Balance Whine. - NO Player Bashing. - NO Caster Bashing. - NO BM whatsoever. Breaking these rules (from pg 166 forward) will be met with severe punishment. | ||

Idra dislikes ling/bling wars because of this. Now he already lost a bunch of drones to a small ling attack and he must have tilted at this point and tried to counter with banelings. When he saw leenock's defense/banelings and how far ahead he was (not really that much but still) Idra realised that he had tilted and said "fuck it I need a reset" and decided to throw the game. The banelings morphing was the moment he tilted, not when he left (I mean he even gg'd). So yeah, there you go. Yeah that´s kinda a good analysis i suppose, however this mentality gets you nowhere in such a tournament. | ||

It was over. If you watched the production tab you wouldve seen that idra produced only lings and blings after he lost those 6 drones, while leenock produced almost exclusively drones, which puts idra behind 6-10 drones. After idra saw that there were that many lings and blings for defense, he knew it would be almost impossible to do anything. I wouldve liked if he atleast tried that agression, even after seeing all those blings and lings as defense, but i can understand why he left there. | ||

He simply didn't embarassingly send banes in, and if he did people on TL would probably bash his zvz - -; That's just a ridiculous statement and is only applicable if two robots are playing the game. It's like saying you should leave every game you fall a bit behind in. | ||

If his macro is good enough to win games when they are even, why can't it be good enough to overcome a disadvantage? Its ZvZ, good macro cant overcome mathmatics. Enough discussing Idra, Haypro needs our support. | ||

That spine would be useful if you had any intention of continuing the game. As soon as he cancels the spine he is thinking "i don't even care if he counterattacks, this game is over" | ||

(just think of that game vs. losira yesterday) | ||

Yeah, because all of those Open Bracket players at the start were really hard for Leenock to beat. Meanwhile NaNiWa has beaten HuK, MVP, NesTea twice..... | ||
