But after seeing Idra disappoint time after time with his poor attitude, premature GG's and lack of fighting spirit, its about time people stopped being blind-sighted by his BM personality - thinking that he can actually take a game off the likes of Taeja. Idra moved to Korea to train 4 years before Naniwa. | ||

Not making excuses for the guy but people forget the time when he was pretty much the only foreign Zerg consistently competing with the Koreans, especially in MLGs. Stephano should hopefully rub off him a bit and give him some more insight and we'll see a resurgent Gracken, in an ideal world anyway To be honest, I don't think EG is gonna play Idra a lot anymore in their teamleagues. | ||

Best to leave the most versatile or stable ones last so they can deal with more shit. | ||

In an AK format it makes perfect sense to save your top players for last. You need them as your Ace to keep you alive if shit goes wrong. The general strategy is start with like a strong(Maybe 2nd-3rd best on your team kind of thing) to hopefully get a kill or two, after which you can send out a couple of lesser known players who have shown promise in practice to get them experience/exposure. Then if your back is against the wall you start sending in the big guns again. Well that's how I'd do it anyway, I'm not a pro coach but it makes sense to me. | ||

There are many reasons. 1) Give your less known players more experience and potential time to shine. 2) Force out their good players so you can send out your snipers (rather than your snipers getting sniped). 3) Tire out their best players so when the aces clash, the fresh ace will have the advantage (Taeja all-killed IM once and almost the second time but then finally fell after taking out like 7 of them - presumably to fatigue.) | ||
