IdrA, if you win more than a couple thousand in the GSL buy some new shirts. Hell, convince your fanclub to go shopping and mail you some if need be. | ||

No way, IdrA is not the nervous kind of guy; His quick and reflected answers in nearly every single interview should be proof enough of that, aswell as what he tells us about his own mindset. | ||

If he considers Nydus probably less for All-ins but more strategic positioning. We haven't seen Nydus worms used properly - this is why people don't use them. The proper method is to not pop one in the back of the opponent base to try and back-door them as that as you noted is easy to stop. While the Nydus is expensive to lay down I think the strength we will see from it is the same use it saw in BW - providing fast ground reinforcements in the late game. Also you CAN use them to harass the opponent, but the trick I've found is to have more than one tunnel system so you can build more than one worm at once. Build one somewhere the enemy will easily see, wait for him to come to stop then cancel that one. Meanwhile build a second one at the spot they just left to defend the first one. The goal I think with worms should be to control your opponent, keep him in his base and on his toes - not to do much physical damage. Currently 90% of games don't last long enough for it to reach a point to see Nydus worms go up. But I feel its very safe to say we will see a resurgence of their use over the course of the next year as the overall skill and knowledge base on the game increases. I always use them late game to connect my bases together, it makes taking out one Zerg's outlying expansions next to impossible when you have two worms to pump troops out of. A tip for all - be careful about leaving troops idle inside the worms - people can come kill your Network in your main and kill all your troops. Force fields CAN stop units from exiting the worms too so be weary. | ||

"What players do you respect in foreign and in Korean scene?" IdrA: As for the Koreans... (darting eyes, passive).. yea just Jaedong, Bisu and Flash... just.. yea. I remember in another BM vod of his, he was chatting like: "Fvcking SC2 in Korean, they all play like freaking Warcraft 3 here in Korea." (obviously raging against rush/aggressive timing attack) I'm an IdrA fan myself. I love his distinct macro-oriented, 'I'm gonna rape you later' play style. But it's really disheartening for a mid-20s man to act like a high school Halo kid when he's losing, using words like 'faggot'. This is further embarrassing for a someone of his playing caliber & exposure. IdrA, you're not just some ladder kid. He's really insulting himself. | ||

He does not run around calling every opponent a faggot while raging on them and talking shit. He gets pissed when he loses and usually says something that is obviously not 100% serious. However, it all gets lost in translation the minute it hits the internet where everybody is a psychologist and figures out he's actually an asshole every waking second of every day and he needs to grow up. | ||

Force fields CAN stop units from exiting the worms too so be weary. A few points. * Units take time to pop out of a nydus - longer than they take to get back in the worm. * I don't believe you can cancel a worm once you've placed it. * Worms are pretty fragile despite the cost 200HP is nothing. As for why people don't use them, it's a lot simpler than the whole "people don't know how to use them properly". The reason they don't use them is because they are finnicky things to get right, and they rely on your opponent to be more of a bad player than you are good. A single nydus network + worm costs as much as upgrading overlord speed + transportation. * Drone 50/0 * Network 150/200 * Worm 100/100 = Total of 300/300 --> same as overlord upgrades which can be upgraded both at the same time since chances are you will have a hatch and lair by then. Anywhere you can sneak a worm in, you can sneak a drop in. Due to the time it takes to unload units, Worms are more useful as a retreat mechanism than anything else. There are also smarter ways to gain map control than to rely on excessive worm usage. (I say excessive since chances are a good opponent will take out the worm first thus requiring you to rebuild it) | ||

A single Overlord (or a burrowed Zergling) is less likely to be found. That's not the point though is it? The point is * they both rely on your opponent having gaps in his defense/offense * they both work better if their army is a long way away from base, but not too close to yours * they both need setup time That doesn't mean I think they are interchangeable, it just means that for a similar cost, when you weigh up the pros and cons of each, you won't always conclude that Nydus is the way to go, and that their lack of popularity has very little to do with people not knowing how to use Nydus properly. | ||
