I really dont think that Day9 has an answer for IdrA.

Because the only answer is that IdrA is right.


That's almost a bigger logical fallacy than the arguments IdrA is trying to make.

lol if you would actually listen to what IdrA says. I'm a Terran user and I agree with IdrA.

The way IdrA is saying, is that Zerg will only win if the opponent is making mistakes/not playing well enough.

Day is getting at something but is having trouble articulating it.

Basically the problem I see with Idra's state of mind is that he thinks Zerg has lack of scouting, but then he views scouting only as use of ovies. I think zerg can scout just by picking up on reads that the terran drops.

I do agree zerg needs something to scout, but their options besides overlords. He needs to widen his mindset. Scouting should mean saccing an ovie, it should also mean poking with lings and checking marine numbers, stealing gas and canceling it over and over again, using more than one ovie to scout etc.

I'm a protoss so correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see these being used (often) ZvT.

Please stop being ignorant.

Idra spouts some stuff that we've head 100x that makes it sound like zerg never wins, ever.

Day9 is asked to solve the zerg race in 10seconds, otherwise he loses.

This is one big fail after another.

I think most everyone could agree that Zerg is the hardest to play. Protoss and terran don't come close. I've played all 3 a bit and i can't do zerg at all i'd rather play 1945 video games. Protoss and terran i have a chance.

Zerg has no aggressive oppurtunities:


Uhhh eco bust, anyone?

If zerg defends the first Terran attack with only losing his army, the zerg has won the game. If IdrA could do what he wants to do, he would be completely unbeatable, no matter how good the Terran the player is.
Hell, its awesome to LOSE to nukes!

I think idra is right. He's trying to point out that if you can't scout, you can't do something to attempt to counter what the enemy is doing. But if you cannot scout you need a build that can defend against multiple situations and if zerg builds too defensively then they are automatically at a disadvantage.

I really dont think that Day9 has an answer for IdrA.


So day9 is supposed to solve the zerg race on the spot? What kind of bullshit is this? He keeps saying people need to talk about how to fix problem,s not bitch about the problems.

Zerg has changed a lot even in the last month.

No, Day9 is talking about other options and cant give any.
IdrA even asked for "what are some of these options" and Day9 couldnt give him any.

No he isnt supposed to fix the race but he DOES NOT have an answer for the points IdrA's making imo atleast.


Well, Day9 offered the Spanishiwa style, to which IdrA responded he felt it was too defensive. Isn't that exactly what IdrA desires? That or good scouting?

Idra says we wants a build that's safe against everything.

Day[9] says Spanishiwa.

Idra says it doesn't beat super-greedy builds.

Idra wants Zerg to be able to hard-counter EVERYTHING.
