Agree but... I don't know. iDra is playing well when he is left to macro and that's not what it takes to take down Flash because you need to be agressive as Flash is reaaaally greedy (Bunker anyone ?). So i don't see iDra use to snipe Flash.
Also it should be fun watching a iDra Flash game. I love them both (but i love Flash and KT more). And now that EG-TL beat SKT they need to lose. Because i want KT to be so far ahead that they will secure the playoff spot (i don't see them falling but... still 4,5 rounds to go).

I think he is refering to CJ in BW. But i can't remember.

I can see Idra just preparing HotS and then coming out as a sniper once Proleague switches over. Since I think he took some time off for Christmas/Incontrol's wedding and has been practicing HotS recently, I think it'd be really tough for him to be sent out in Proleague while it's still WoL.
Also, he never played in Proleague in Brood War.

Next week looks nice. TLEG plays CJ and Khan, while Stars have to play KT and SKT.
And the week after that TLEG and Stars meet. Time to change places

idrA has never been sent in PL. He wasn't even in the lineup. The difference of level was foo big for that. However I think he could be a viable sniper on SC2. Like ThorZaiN.

Thorzain is in masters league streaming HOTS ffs and certainly a worse player than Hero, Taeja, and Revival. Streams a couple hours of HotS, therefore can't possibly be playing WoL? Playing the same game over and over leads to burn out. It's good to have breaks and change. he streams easily 5+hours of hots per day atm. And tell that to flash. No one knows what Flash's WoL schedule is for sure. And they're not allowed to stream anything until they've played a certain amount in the lab? So he must be meeting what's expected of him... Well in a recent interview he said 50-60 games a day. I always laugh when foreigners use the term "burnout". If you aren't willing to sacrifice to be the best you deserve nothing. As a former competitive Halo player I can assure you burnout is a real and serious problem... you always start to deteriorate in quality as you tire mentally and physically, you have to take breaks.
How much did you practice in Halo? 2-3 hours a day?
In starcraft modt pro's just practice a lot more, and this burnout thing is so goddamn overhyped. Just look at koreans streaming. They easily que up game after game. Even normal masters league players can easily play 5 games in a row without feeling anything.

Revival closes the deal. very nice indeed. Rain is still top Protoss, and I do think is better than Revival but this game went on the Zergs favor.

Hmm? Main team means that they have him on their team that gets them points, anti-team is where you lose points. Only 132 people have Revival on their anti-team as opposed to the 1761 people that have him on their main team.
Putting him on your anti-team would have been a pretty silly move since he was only a 3 pointer.

I think you misunderstood him. He's right. Because when you do the same think for a lot of hours straight you start to deteriorate. It's more likely you will see it if you do something physical. But yeah behind your comp you can do thing much longer. But when he speaks of break he does not think (i believe) something like 5h of pause. But doing 5hours of ladder and then do a break for 15minutes and the going in again is really gonna up your game. Maybe play a ums or 2vs2 for one game before restarting.
Doing something for a long time can get you tunnel vision. For exemple if i play drums and make rolls for 1hour, after 1h i start to make stupid mistakes. Like not being capable of doing a rythm that i use to play no problem. I make a quick break like playing one or two songs on the guitar and then i go back to my drumset and all is alright.
Hope the analogy was understandable.

I don't understand why they keep playing Thorzain in TvZ. It's his weakest matchup by far. He's vastly better in TvP and TvT - his late game TvP is probably top 3 or 4 in the world.
