The Idra vs Tzain showed no skill what so ever, really. Idra went for an all in, and Tzain blind countered it >_< Disappointing games :/ so blind countering all in is early triple orbital?
Triple orbital for high economy into fast tank for defense is a blind counter, yes. if he had gone medivacs he would have lost.

Maybe there is a reason he didn't go for medivacs... You make it sound like they were playing tic tac toe.

never mind, dont bother
their all idiots who claim either "idra has bad manner" and then call him "shit" or "terrible, horrible person" (hyprocritical?) or they try to, as in this case, judge player skill by a build order win
their hopeless

So I may be dumb, and please point me to the correct source material if you can, but how does NASL handle the server situation in it's team league? IdrA and Puma are in Korea and both of their opponents were in Europe and that has about the worst lag problem you can conceive of. Do they server swap or both play on NA or what?

nope
its that zerg cant scout cross map in time so either you metagame and allin or your counter meta game and make them think your allining but dont all in and then they metametagame you and ETC ETC
its very coinflippy early-midgame

Lolwut. Thorzain went triple expand and he held off an all-in that should have theoretically killed him outright. Idra's timings were pretty wrong (as sheth stated he didnt do it correctly), he then A-moved into glory. Thorzain had ONE tank on the cliff, it didnt even occur to idra not to go towards it or bring one overlord.
Outplayed is the word we are looking for.

except that if you go triple orbital,you have to do something defensive,its not like hellons are going to do the trick.
his build wasnt blind counter idras allin,its a very well thought macro build.

They play NA if EU vs KR, EU if EU vs EU, NA if NA vs NA, KR if KR vs KR, and alternate if NA vs KR or EU vs NA

That build is incredibly good, yeah :c
That early siege was pretty much a hard counter, even though Idra's execution wasn't the best

100% of the other zerg players would have continued to play that game. They would have microed, stationed their roaches behind the mineral line out of range of the tanks, delayed some mining while droning, well at least tried something. The tank opening has no marine and no medivac, he was behind but not so behind that a superior skill can't overcome the deficit.

nop, could have been build order LOSS for thorzain, and I bet the Idra fan boys would have done two things;
1. ignore the fact Idra all-in'd , whereas if idra got all-in'd they'd say (HE JUST GOT ALL-IN'D WASN'T EVEN A GAME ONEONEON@#!@#
2. would say thorzain played too greedy
thorzain outright OWNED idra, incontrol got SHAT on
I stand by my words

Even if he did do that, Tzain was ahead on tech, and waaaay ahead on economy. As I previously said, he would fall back on 33 drones and no Lair against triple orbital... A comeback like that would be close to impossible against a player like Tzain, I think

Can someone please tell me why EG would pick incontrol over HuK? In fact, they never ever pick HuK for clan wars.. Is he not available or something?

You can outplay someone and it can still be a build order win. One does not exclude the other. You have to actually watch and judge each game by the merits. If idra executed his build poorly and thorzain his with crisp precision, I have no problem with anyone saying he got outplayed (I'm not saying that was neccesarily the case)
