This really shows how OP protoss really are.

I mean come on we are so used of fighting a-clickers that when a Protoss actually doing some kind of micro.

MIND YOU HE WAS NOT FOCUS FIREING JUST BLINKING THE LOW HP which tbh I could do that.

Ofc great play, idra needs to scout better thats what SC2 is all about. Scouting and countering because no high ground atvantage you cannot defend if you read your opponent wrong.
ofc I am no pro and idra beat me 10/10 but then I havent played as many games as Idra did his first day of beta yet and I had it for almost a month.

Incredible blink control. Oddly enough, I still don't see blink used all that often, even when my Protoss opponents have stalkers in the mix. It's just so strong, and in my opinion, can pay for itself very quickly.

On top of being useful in battle situations as highlighted in the video vs Idra, it can also be used effectively in harass situations as well.

Really strong ability.

Anyone could do that, that was nothing special at all. Just saying.

I love blink. That's all I ever do as protoss. Mass speedlings is really hard to stop though.

Simply because its not needed. The zealot-sentry build requires practicly zero skill and same thing with immortal push.

Because what he did was not as "easy" as Zoler is suggesting. Look at the stalkers HP and see how well he picked the weakest ones ONE AT A TIME.

That micro is not difficult to do when it's the only thing being done. Because he was all-in, that's all he could do is micro Stalkers and sometimes go W shift+S click click click. You could make a Flash game out of what he was doing and everyone could play it for an hour and come back saying "this is too easy."

I'm glad that the micro looks impressive and cool to the casual viewer. That is a huge plus for SC2. It's absolutely not a bad thing that micro looks more impressive than it actually is. The Stalker micro is a perfect counter-example to the people saying "battles in SC2 are too boring and it's not possible to tell what's going on."

So:
Protoss have super awesome and strong and engaging blink micro. (it sparkles)

Zerg have super awesome and strong and (less) engaging burrow micro

Terran have... reaper/maurader/helion kiting? LAME. maybe stim+run counts for something. maybe NOT.

Where's your manliness now?


I think we all know kiting is strong as hell and certainly doesnt make the terran unmanly. But because they dont glitter and go *poof* like the androgynous "cool kid" protoss or pop up and down like a plush toy diglett like the no-identity zerg, the Terrans are currently too brutish and straightforward for e-sports. I'm sure they will find a way to maintain the manliness while putting on a show - we'll just have to wait and see

Ahh good ole blink micro. The stalker has definetly become more useful... I am still in between on the nerf or just leave alone. Maybe a little balance on the damage or amount of shields.

Stalker Micro w/ Blink = Spectators will be wowed.

How effective it is, I don't know; certainly better than non-Blink. How cool it is? For me, it's a 10 out of 10 :D

The best part about this is you know Idra probably sat there bitching about cheese, when he clearly got outplayed/microed BADLY.

Idra will never be the top SC2 player, though he will be very good, because smart players will know that they can throw him off with cheese and play with his head a bit, just like Nony did in TSL.

Sure, you can do it. Can you do it while maintaining unit production at that warp-in pylon, while building in base, and while making sure to come back and blink out the damaged stalkers like this player did.
