This game clearly shows flaws in IdrA playstyle. Say what you want but times when Idra was top zerg long gone. Strategies and players evolved, unfortunately IdrA stayed behind...


Idra was a top Zerg back in the Open Seasons and over a year ago. While everyone has been getting better, Idra's play this year (nearly 4 months into 2012) has been absolutely atrocious.

I do feel bad for the casters for taking all the heat for calling the game wrong. Any other pro zerg would have won that game.


Well I think a lot of this comes from the fact that IdrA is a player who actually hates SC2, many times he mentioned how awful and retarded this game is. It is difficult to improve, when there is no enthusiasm or passion - and it shows that IdrA lacks both. I liked him as macro machine, but now I much more prefer gamers with actual passion for the game - and there is plenty of them.

Wow, he has a timing before colossi are out but if he botches this in any way he loses, he needs to win here, no other base and no other tech.

Idra should watch that game Ret just played against JYP. Ret is looking so sick lately!

I think JYP lost when he blinked those stalkers into the Zerg army. Blink micro was the only thing keeping the Protoss army alive. ><"

This is one of those games that makes you change your view on Hydralisks.

great use of hydras. kept them behind roaches at almost all times during engagements, and switching right back to pure roach production after the air & immortal counts were reduced.

I do feel JYP could have probably pulled through somewhat well if he hadn't let his colossus die so quickly and then aggressively blinked on top of rets remaining forces as rets reinforcements arrived.

Hey now. I don't know about that.

Well played by Ret

This is a nice reversal. A longstanding foreign team sends out one of its top, ex-BW foreign Zerg players against a GSL-level Protoss Korean with exceptional PvZ.

Of course, perhaps the gameplay turned out differently

That 3 base max timing is extremely strong if done properly.

Ret didn't attack into any stupid chokes, unlike the previous ZvP. WP

ret was really hesitant with his initial 12 min roach max. probably couldve won the game a lot earlier if he stopped darting in and out doing no real damage and losing tons of roaches for free
