Please don't cite Sirlin. Once you turn to stopping time with ancient asian techniques, you lose all credibility.

Sirlin has some very well written and well reasoned articles. If he has some absurd belief it doesn't change the reasoning of his articles.

Man, some of you guys talk about Idra like he's the Flash of SC2. Flash's Starsense would've told him about that expansion even without scouting.

Milkis, you are like our direct link to the korean news, we should build a huge statue in your honor.

Also, I'm glad to see the koreans taking over. My only exception is TLO because he is amazing.


Really dude? O.o

Seriously?????

Are you non-korean? Cuz if so, I want to slap you D: </3
But yeah, TLO is awesome. I really hope he wins Ro64.

I was so sad watching that last game. I thought he was going to take game 3 up until a few minutes before it ended. GL to IdrA in the next GSL but gl to Lotze in this one, he seems like a nice enough dude.

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.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

IdrA screwed this up for himself.
It was painful to watch him not scout that hidden expansion for such a long period of time.

Next GSL or two are Idra's last chances to do anything, before the real progamers switch over.. because with his closed-mindedness, he's not gonna stand a chance vs people of same or better mechanical skills.

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.

To bad idra lost to this guy, I really wanted to see IdrA take home the whole tournament. Better luck next time greg!

lol i like how people are all like "oh man it's going to be korean domination in sc2, foreigners can't win", cuz idra loses to a korean.

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

60 Koreans
4 Foreigners Torch, Artosis, Idra, TLO.
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.

Great interview, thank Milkis.

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.

So you think TLO is going to beat Hyperdub and Tester with ease? Not likely.

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.
