It wasn't an all in but he should have taken a third instead of "rushing" for mutas when he spent his early gas on roaches. | ||

Edit: ESV staff said it was 3 days ago, Demuslim was wrong, my apologies. Shame, Idra doesn't look in good shape. | ||

The roach rush when he saw Taeja do CC first was nice. He needs to pull more smart moves like that. | ||

... kk typical Idra mindset, really disappointing. Yeah. Honestly, I think it's the harshest thing I've ever said about a pro-gamer but I can't WAIT until IdrA is old news. I think he's kind of bad for e-sports with just giving up. Not even the early GGs, though that is part of it. Whether IdrA believes he can or he believes he can't defeat his opponent he ends up being right. It's that fatalistic mentality and it makes it SO HARD to be an EG fan. You'll never see IdrA fight off his back and back into it. Sure it'd be a long shot whenever he leaves early, but it's that heroic warrior spirit that I love to see, and IdrA just doesn't have it. As much as I'd like to tell myself I don't care whenever IdrA loses to a korean opponent when representing the foreign seen, the reality is he still ends up breaking my heart a little with every crushing defeat. | ||

I think its difficult to make a comeback as zerg in a straight up fight because of the binary nature of their attack move units (e.g. you either have enough, or you dont - very unlike something like MC's stalkers where he can play from behind and win because dat control). He did try sending his mutalisks behind to try to slow down Taeja's economy but the marines were already there. I think he was out of time and out of options. It's always nice to see him play it out though, but this is IdrA, he doesn't play a game out if he knows he's lost. | ||

This room is in slow mode and you are sending messages too quickly. You will be able to talk again in 22 minutes. Haha, the chat loves idra ?  | ||

Sending in mutas before zerglings. Etc. Also his expand timings have been weird, they seem to be VERY late compared to normal? | ||

He just need to get a good engagement, Taeja was going to back his army anyway his marines were half life. Not like i see it happening against Taeja tonight, he plays way better than Idra currently :'( | ||
