What kind of arguement is that? You dont think that IdrA does that also? The fact is there is no counter to his "gameplan" (which is trash by the way, which has been shown throughout is vods) is the problem. Also adapting to what strategy? He didn't adapt to anything he just did his rofl push where there is nothing that zerg could possibly do. Throughout each of his games HE DIDNT SCOUT ONCE, NOT ONE SCAN ON THE ZERGS BASE. Calm and collected? What do you think IdrA was doing this whole match? On the fritz hurling over his computer having like 4 monsters beside him? Please kid get an arguement~

Also HuK gave him the series (which by the way was GARBAGE) and what do you mean T is OP against T? Im saying T is overpowered against zerg WHICH IS TRUE. Look at tournament rankings, ladder rankings, ANYTHING and tell me that zerg isnt underpowered. Good day sir

If you are going to rage you can at least get your facts straight. He DID scan, which he even said in the interview...

Clarification: Being polite is the same as not showing emotions.

Can we please accept that IdrA rages and speak his mind? If Silver takes IdrA's talk serious, he is the one having the problem. I am sure however, that Silver is too wise to take the "attack" (which we all know is not an attack, but a human defense mechanism from IdrA) personally.

Let people rage, and lets stop being polite and instead not take the emotions the other player omit as an attack on you.

He scanned and he saw a pool and a hatchery. he is such an incredible player that he knew the exact counter to this combination of zerg buildings: build literally anything

He never saw any tech. His scouting scv didn't even scout idra's main, it just saw creep and went back to stop the hatchery. He didn't know there were mutas until after he pushed out, after he put down ebay, and after he started making a turret. He had no fucking clue at all.

Once I scouted him, I knew I wanted to punish him early for his economic build order and so I planned to do an early mech-push depending on what unit composition I saw from him. He invested in zerglings and mutalisks, so naturally I made hellions and thors. Once I scanned and saw his next tech structure going up was a banelings nest, I knew I wanted to engage before he could benefit from his new tech.

And he's still not a professional. Being a professional means acting like a professional. If you don't act like a professional, you're not one. This applies to every field in life, even fields where you can hide yourself behind a computer.

As time goes on, new talent is going to emerge. It's funny to see people upset when new players play well. Props to Silver.

How convenient that you define what "acting like a professional" is, not the person playing the game full-time for a salary.

Except he made hellions and thors far before he knew he was going muta, how do you not understand this? There was no inclination from his very limited knowledge to suggest mutas. Do you know the first time he saw mutas in the entire game? When they ran into his turret

This is so truth..

To say something like - "Apologize for playing this race" or "I actually am really good" is just plain wrong. I wonder how can Idra play with Koreans with this attitude..

He wouldn't have said a damn word, if he played Maka or ITR or someone like that and lost in just the same way.

btw. didn't he originally switch to Zerg, because they were dominant back then?

Maybe because he had hellions and marines with a tank and what did zerg have? Zerglings. Nothing else. What could he be going for? Hydras doesn't make sense against that mix, roaches would've been out already, had to be mutas. You don't have to see something to know it's there.

Acting professionally is an ancient concept and it means that you focus on doing your job properly rather then getting your emotions in the way. Idra is hardly the first professional in the history of mankind, there are other people then him in the world that somehow manage to get a salary and behave properly, who would have thought?

Not gonna argue with you people anymore, watch the game. it was a guy in his base building whatever he wanted, you can try to pass that off as strategic genius all you want but you are clueless if you believe that.
