Awwwww This is a bummer. I've never really liked IdrA that much - in fact I used to really dislike him, but that interview yesterday sort of changed my perspective. He seemed prepared, confident, professional, and seemed like he was enjoying his trip and the prospect of playing Morrow. For the first time I'm actually sad to see him getting crunched like this. I hope he can get out of his slump soon.

Game 4 begins on Dual Sight, Morrow up 3-0. Idra spawns at 3:00 as the the red Zerg, Morrow at 9:00 as the yellow Terran.

Idra is all macro over decision making or unit control.

Kind of feels like IdrA expects that you should be able to win all the time with just great macro when that's just one of many parts of this game

I am merely giving out an objective answer as to who I think will win. You are accusing me of being a fanboy with no support. I am stating facts about idra. Perfect mechanics. Perfect decision making on a good day. What has morrow won? Idra has an IEM and an MLG. Based on that, idra will 4-0. No fanboy, just objective perspective. You kids are the ones making me out as a fanboy. I am just an ESPORTS fan looking for good games to watch while saying on a public forum who I think will win. Idra has proven that he can win championships. Morrow has not.

Victories more than 3 months back really don't factor in that much for Starcraft 2 players at this point. (I'm a huge Idra fan....still)

Morrow with the Makka Rax! Idra scouts with a drone and misses the rax, scouts nothing in the main. Morrow builds one marine and lifts the rax back home.

I like idra and want him to win, but -

1) His infestor control is just awful. Basically in every game he's just donated infestor after infestor.
2) He continues to make ultras and too many of them at that.
3) I could be wrong, but I thought the metagame right now was Broods first to force vikings and then ultras and idra is doing it in the reverse. Force the T to build vikings and then switch tech and make the Viking supply worthless.
4) All of the premature quitting is starting to catch up to him as he's losing games he has won because he doesn't have the late game conditioning.

I have no idea how he lost game 3 (well I do, I just thought he was in a pretty winning position and blew it).

It's too bad. He's just in a slump atm. I mean I don't think he should win all the time but he just isn't up to his usual self.

6:02 Idra has second hatch up, Morrow sending a couple of Hellions in to scout and kills a couple of zerglings. Idra has roaches though and Morrow retreats.

Never thought about it that way before. The lack of late-game experience might be hurting him.

7:36 Five roaches and some lings force Morrow to lift his second orbital. Bunker and a called supply depot and the factory at the ramp stops the push. Idra goes home. A couple of hellions kill only a couple of drones before dying.
