Those games really hightlight the difference in macro. Idra dont got very good mechanics and hes macro are avarege. everyone can spam drones but mechanics also aplies when to make drones and when to make units. | ||

IdrA also got a little greedy taking the gold and presumably would have switched into infestor + roach production at that point once established. he got hit before that, and so his army, much of which was invested in mutas, didnt have enough killing power | ||

Top foreigner Zergs all have his macro. His army control is mediocre. The one thing he had - great muta control - he thinks is an out of date play style. The one thing going for him is his decent infestor control. That he has over Ret, but that's about it. | ||

Today its nothing special every pro zerg player in the foriegn scene got those mechanics. And btw the games wasnt important we talking about mechanics. check out the injects in that game | ||

DRG just doesn't go on tilt and that is the difference. Each of these 4 sentences is plain wrong. Nobody who follows the scene a bit would suggest Idra was on par with good Koreans, let alone top level code S Koreans (DRG) at the moment, I don't know where you take this from. Please, name 5 pros who recently stated Idra was anywhere near those players. Did you ever watch, for example, Losira stream? He's twice as fast as Idra, has way better macro, better micro, better multitasking, and, most importantly, way better decision making and game sense. There's such a huge gap between their play that you don't even need recent win statistics to see it. And that's true for any good Korean, DRG, Nestea, Leenock, whoever, you've to be delusional to think Idra was on their level even if he had a different attitude. Also, Idra's macro is certainly "good", but it's nothing special that distinguishes him from every other pro. Most average foreigners are close to his level and Koreans obviously are stronger in general. This whole "Idra and his sick mechanics" thing primarily still lives because in the beta he had his korean training advantage and could go beyond 3 bases better than most other foreigners, but right now, playing against a 4-5 base Idra isn't different from playing against a 4-5 base Nerchio, Sheth, Morrow, Ret, anybody. And not to mention Stephano. | ||
