Yeah baby! Gotta admit I was rooting for IdrA here, zerg all the way.

Sick interview. I think everyone would agree with Idra's assessment of the current top three players. Cool is an all around axe murderer and he seems to have the best zvz amongst the top zerg players.

And I think what REALLY makes collusux/stalker builds truly deadly are the forcefields and thermal lance. I mean, even if you have a bunch of corruptors and a maxed out hydra roach army, especially on maps with tiny chokes such as scrap, it just seems impossible to defend or attack a toss player who has great FFs. He cuts off your ground army with FF while the +9 range of his collusux picks off your hydras, and if you move in with your corruptors without your army then he just picks them off with stalkers.

Well, the KotB has provided some pretty good play all around, I don't feel like any player was hopelessly outmatched. The lineup was far from complete though, so I don't think IdrA deserves to be crowned king just yet. He proved that he isn't slumping (lol) and gave credit to his claims of being able to beat Tester. So congrats on that

I love how the SC2 scene is still on a basis were practically all of the top players are capable of beating each other. + Show Spoiler +

Cool for example got eliminated by Andro in the GGi qualifiers (although stupidly), but

it shows that the Korean SC2 pro-scene hasn't reached God-status yet. I hope the foreigner scene will be able to keep this up!

Hmm... he doesn't think much of HuK's ability to vary his strategy then!

I wonder if IdrA's getting tired of Artosis interviewing him.

Looks like a few more people are going to watch an interview of IdrA and realise he's a nice guy.

It's really funny how people think IdrA is bm just because he get pissed when he loses games. Loads of gamers are like that, hell most of team Media is like that; doesn't mean anything.

Then they actually watch an interview of him and they're like OMG IdrA is a just a normal guy, huuurrr how is this possible?!!?

He wasn't just BM when loosing games, even in his early interviews he was super cocky and pretty much always said everyone else sucks.

=( Was hoping not to get spoiled on the results. I probably shouldnt of clicked into this thread but after seeing Artosis post this, I wanted to know if my suspicions were correct. Right as its loading, im like forget it, i'll keep it a mystery, I click back but its too late. I see Idra's face in one of the vids for a split second.

awesome interview

anybody know what is the" CJ house" that Idra is referring to at the end of the interview?

Do pro SC gamers in Korea all live in the same house and get all their stuff paid for or something? accommodation, food, computers, bills... etc. all paid for?

if thats the case... omg... more reason to dedicate my life to SC2 and becoming a pro gamer lol

Haha, I'm guessing you didn't follow the SC1 pro scene at all. There are 12 teams in Korea, but they're all dedicated to SC1 at the moment.

Another excellent interview by Artosis. Covers exactly the points that were most interesting.
+ Show Spoiler +

I always wondered why IdrA doesn't use Corruptors vs Colossus/BCs, turns out he doesn't appreciate strictly air-to-air units. Of course, he still makes Corruptors sometimes, but I wondered why so rarely, and why so little of them.
