No one is the current Flash of SC2. I don't think you can even call what Flash has star sense, it's more like Flash sense because no one does it like him. Idra is without a doubt a top player in the current scene though. | ||

It was painful to watch him not scout that hidden expansion for such a long period of time. | ||

Evolve or die.. I don't get the statement about close-mindedness. IdrA has explained in very logical fashion why he plays the way he does. It's not that he isn't open to other tactics. It's that nothing but "out econ your opponent" consistently works for Zerg in the current game. | ||

Yes, but once you out-econ your opponent, you can't just sit and wait and play passively without scouting all expansions on the map. | ||

guess what, there's 62 koreans in the tournament and 2 foreigners, so yeah, he's probably going to lose to a korean | ||

Yes the odds were stacked against them. Idra lost because he ignored his style and tried to be cute. I would have guessed he would have reached the RO8 easily if he hadn't tried that. Torch - too new TLO - has same chance as Idra did RO8 with ease IMO. Artosis - Has a ceiling on his gameplay that he can't raise. Hopefully a few more of the really good foreigners show up next time. | ||

Nice to hear Lotze's thoughts on the series. Hopefully Idra will go farther in the next GSL. Good accomplishment making it as far as he did.  | ||

It's that nothing but "out econ your opponent" consistently works for Zerg in the current game. the statement has more to do with what he did in SC1 than SC2, but people don't change quickly. Also, why do you think Idra picked Zerg in the first place? .. Because the race is the way it is, you can play it like a robot and it doesn't gain much in strenght if you're creative. So he's setting himself up for things he'll use as excuses later on. | ||
