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... | ||

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. | ||

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. Being polite is not the same as not showing emotions. Were have you gotten that idea from? I don't mind Idra raging as I find it pretty amusing, but people should stop making excuses for people that do rage. You can rage without taking it out on someone else. Just don't type what you feel. Scream out loud in your room. Smash your keyboard against the wall. All legit ways of raging that doesn't involve putting down other players. I do agree though you shouldn't take it personally. I don't think Silver was the real reason why Idra lashed out. | ||

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. Yeah no fucking clue... | ||

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. | ||

Its been years but I do remember his 2s team being on top of the ladder with a pretty ridic record, and also having a very strong 1v1 ladder record as well. Good job silver on owning idra! | ||

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

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 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. | ||

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? | ||

Also, I wonder if IdrA would become super-enraged if Silver's only response to IdrA's babbling at the start of game 2 was "You done yet?" | ||

He wouldn't have said a word because he believes they put even more effort in practicing than him, so he feels if he loses, it's ok, they worked for it and they deserved, whether the race helped or not. | ||

He started making thors before he even saw idra's natural he had no clue what idra was doing when he started making thors zero. He had no idea, not even the slightest inclination, of what Idra was building, and he didn't care. He didn't need to know that information because he was just building random mech shit and attack moving. If he says otherwise, he's lying to make himself sound good in the interview. He had no clue, for all intents it was completely impertinent, he was going to build what he was going to build and attack move with it without any regard for his opponents build or units. Whatever Idra's build was, his units would have been out by then, but Silver would have no clue what they were because he didn't effectively scout at all. 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. | ||

Talk about a huge overreaction to a reasonable post. Is there a way to report posts/users for this kinda garbage? This response is terrible, and you should be banned man. I honestly feel sorry for you that you need to vent so much anger on starcraft forums. Perhaps you should take a break from the game, or just quit altogether because it isn't worth getting so worked up and angry over such trivial things. I'm shocked to see such a post on these forums where there is usually such a stellar community. | ||

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? What you're describing might be "acting dignified," but the guy is in the entertainment business. Part of his responsibility is marketing himself to the fanbase. It's ridiculous to say that trash-talking the opposition is somehow letting his emotions get in the way of his job. His job is to get people to watch his games, so that the sponsors are happy. If "acting professionally" means "not displaying emotion", I completely disagree that professional athletes, gamers, or entertainers should "act professionally." And in fact, few of them do. I certainly don't think it helps Starcraft 2 gain credibility as a spectator sport if all the players are restrained from getting angry, argumentative, or establishing rivalries. | ||

Though his army would probably have been smashed to bits if Idra had spent all that money on something other then Mutas. How skilled is it on a scale of 1-10 to mass Muta into 3 thors? | ||
