I always liked IdrA, hopefully he can bring SC2 into the bigger spotlight.
Lee Jae Dong proved that a focus on mechanics and execution could solve problems in the StarCraft game strategy.

Good read, that boy is living the dream, and I don't like to be a hater but something about his personality and mine clash when I envision it.
Pros don't talk shit.

your right, this might promote late game all air builds because they can stack while ground cannot. that would not be fun to watch =(


Maybe in one of the expansions, there may be new, bigger units (wasn't there a proposed unit called the uberlisk or something, bigger than the ultralisk?) which could be a motivator for an increased supply cap. That being said, ultralisks and collossi and battlecruisers... and motherships (lol) are already frickin HUGE, so if those things aren't going to be 10 food each, I don't know what will. Imagine having 40 battlecruisers o.O

maybe they should just make units larger instead of changing the max cap lol
didnt u notice that 100 marines take half the area as 100 rines in sc1
storm and emp shit r all so ridiculously small just because of all units r so small
dragging up the max cap to 300 or 400 is such a huge deal in terms of balance or fun gameplay while making units larger (in radius not models) will increase positional play make micro harder to pull off and be easier on the eyes


HMMMMMMMM. i think many people are missing my point and thats my fault.

I was sugesting 300/300 or 400/400 as a roach fix. but yes, balance would be thrown in blender and hit with a golf club

Oh yeah? Well... I was going to come back with "What about 800 cracklings!" but then you'd probably just lift off and fly to some random corner of the map while your vikings killed everything >.>

Wow that was a really well done interview and interesting answers. Anyone who does SC interviews should use this as an example of how to ask interesting questions tailored to the specific interviewee.

Once you've reached the level NonY did it is not that hard to regain good shape, especially with Protoss.

lol, Idra ftw
Also I totally agree with all his comments about balance

Great interview. The more I learn about Idra the more I like him. Too bad he BMs a lot, otherwise more people would accept that he's actually a cool guy.

What are you guys doing? Don't you understand that it's only cool to hate IdrA?

I laugh so hard whenever a commentator talks about whether or not he ggs every game for like 3 minutes, completely missing parts of the game. It's not that big of a deal.

Edit: Great interview

Him being whiny and immature has little to do with whether or not he gg's, it's just the most obvious symptom in a game.
Fair and balanced.

I always thought, why can't there be an upgrade that reduces roaches by 1 food. Maybe hive tech cheap upgrade?

Anyways good interview.

Because it was during Hive tech that the problem was, I thought. Zerg able to instantly replenish large amounts of their army with huge groups of roaches at max pop. Basically, the "upgrade" would be something like the roaches suddenly costing 2 food at Hive tech, which is a stupid thing and would never happen, but is closer to the real problem that Blizzard was attempting to fix.

I could either go back to SC1 or I could travel around to international SC2 events representing CJ, the way the wemade Warcraft 3 players do.

This quote made me proud of IdrA

Great interview. It's nice to read a piece where people speak their minds and don't hide behind vague language.

Agreed. Just speak whatever is on your mind. But somethimes it's good to take a softer approach to the matter. For example.
A: You're so terrible, you'll never win a game!
B: You're pretty decent, but you could use some practice.
Sometimes it's better to go with the option B rather than option A, even if that's is your true opinion.

Good questions allows for a great interview, and indeed it was. Fragster.de bringing us yet another good interview.
