idra has solid points about the luck factor. The other races can implement a coin toss when playing against zerg. This is due to zerg's inability to scout early game. Basically zerg's rely on basic mistakes by toss and terran to scout or get a read. Having that ability is bad game design, and any player playing a superior zerg opponent can implement those coin flips.
Idra saying zerg is underpowered is possible that it's true, but possibly wrong.

there's no evidence of this. playing amateur psychiatrist is all well and good but there's no proof that the mindset idra has is causing him to focus less on improving.

you keep calling IdrA ignorant but I'm curious why. obviously he's very vocal and doesn't have as much experience with the other two races but could you please explain?

Isn't it too early to call anything imbalanced? Its fine when there are simple and obvious flaws in a game. Usually those get cleaned up in beta phases (which Blizzard did!). But trying to balance a game based off of new metagame shifts (aka "imbalances") is extremely hard because again, its too early to call it an obvious problem.
I know Day 9 didn't really back up his opinion too well but I share his opinion. Saying a loss is due to an imbalance is unhealthy for the growth of the game. Its much better to focus on your own play rather than complain like Idra.
Idra is a great player, but unless his complaining leads Blizzard to patch a change, his whining will not help him win games. And even if it did and he wins more games his whining DID NOT make him a better player. Because all the time and brain power he spends talking about imbalances could have been used elsewhere.

I don't get all the IdrA should stop complaining and just get better/practice comments.
He obviously is one of the best (if not the best) non-koreans in the world. He practices a ton and has a better understanding of this game than almost anyone in the world. Yes he complains. But he is constantly improving and learning at the same time. Occasionally he will have a defeatist I can't win attitude but that doesn't stop him from improving. I mean just a month ago his ZvP was awful. Now he is ripping apart protosses left and right.
And of course he's going to voice his opinion about balance. Regardless of what some of you think, blizzard does listen to pros opinions. Hell there was some controversy along time ago where checkprime had a bunch of email correspondence with david kim about balance and some of the korean players were complaining that it was the reason terran nerfs and zerg buffs occurred. Blizzard definately listens and since this is his livelihood of course IdrA will talk.

So who should people listen to other than idra?
Listening to Day9 will not help zergs get better tourney results.

Except people do.
The minority who do take everything 100% literally are not going to stop because you point something like this out. You have to learn to ignore some people to a point.

Then they come on here and defend his "venting" statements as balance facts.
See, I haven't ever seen him in a discussion with someone where he simply refused to accept someone else's viewpoint. Whenever somebody brings him a point, he has a counter-point and usually the discussions end on a "well neither of us is logically correct, it comes down to what you believe/what your opinion is" such as Day9 thinking that balance discussion is pointless vs. IdrA thinking that it isn't.
Obviously there are times when he vents, but you can usually tell between venting and discussion. For instance, IdrA saying on his stream "oh look, a protoss. he might actually be a challenge" is venting because playing against Protoss (and playing StarCraft in general) is frustrating. However, stating facts about the earlygame (zerg can't scout, spine crawlers can't be used reactively, zerglings are useless against wall-ins) and then tying those together into an argument for zerg earlygame being imbalanced is a discussion.
Day9 didn't really bring up any counterpoints, but Tyler brought up a good point in saying that it wasn't necessarily an imbalance, it was just that Protosses and Terrans were flipping coins and Zergs didn't seem to want to flip with them and thus Protosses and Terrans were getting early game advantages a lot of the time for free. Then, IdrA did change his viewpoint on the matter somewhat, from what I can tell. His viewpoint changed from "Earlygame zerg is underpowered" to "early game zerg is a cointoss, and while that's not necessarily imbalanced that's fucking terrible game design". That's something most people can probably agree on. Of course, I'm not IdrA so that's just my perception of it.
I agree with you that people listening to the venting and taking it as fact is a problem, but I also agree with Mailing that those people (who take everything pros say as fact) are kind of hopeless no matter who they listen to. Obviously you should value their opinion over that of your fellow scrub, but you should always think about what you hear no matter who it comes from.

I think Day9 did a good job at conveying his open-minded philosophy but Idra had a very solid points founded in his firsthand knowledge of the competitive scene. Day9 refused to talk about specific examples because he has no real answers - only a whimsical attitude that the answer will reveal itself to zerg seers one day soon and that clearly the pros aren't trying enough different things.
there were no specific examples given by idra, and day9 asked for specific examples. a specific example would be a game, or multiple games, that played out the way idra said, not a theorycrafted situation or a vague anecdote about previous experiences. idra could probably give day9 replays of games, but he didn't at the time and reasonably couldn't given sotg's format and purpose (idra also probably could have recalled games specifically, he almost did when he mentioned he used span's build in nasl). day9 took a skeptical approach to idra's complaints. that's pretty much it.

Your confirming my point, Nestea worked out his weaknesses and turned it around, listen to the guy and watch him and Zergs have a solution.
As much as Idra fan boys don't like to hear it, Idra's biggest problem is that he is convinced that his own weakness in certain match ups is the games problem and not his.

Focusing on solely on a few cons of zerg while not looking at the big picture is not the way to discuss balance. Zergs arguably has the most to gain from a early scout as they can saturate bases faster than the other races, maybe that's why blizzard are reluctant to change this?
There's so many factors yet zergs just focus on their percieved problems without thinking objectively. I'm not completely objective either but i don't play at the moment so i have nothing to gain from nerfs/buffs at this point.

I know I complained a lot previously about ZvP matchups when I faced Anypro, but in practice I was win rate against them were around 90%, so I have some confidence in the matchup. Thats from Nestea's latest interview. Maybe IdrA's problem isn't his race, its just that he's not as good as he thinks he is. Certainly, he's no Nestea. Yes. If he really thinks zerg is broken he would have switched ages ago. He knows he's bad, this whole thing is an act. Yes he is obviously bad, he was just the best foreigner in BW and is still the best foreigner on SC2 right now with jinro. Following his "logic", if hes really the best, why doesnt he switch and win more $? 
Probably for the same reason MorroW switched from T to Z even back when T was by far the most powerful race. It's completely undeniable that MorroW had much more consistent and impressive results as a T player, yet he still switched because he enjoyed the Zerg playstyle more. Idra has said stuff along similar lines.
Also, I think most people calling Idra biased have just as much of a biased viewpoint themselves, so they should really instead try to counter his arguments (rather than his attitude), which I found actually quite solid for the most part.
