Oh man. I didn't watch the series yet and came into this thread assuming that Idra won >_>

Suprised, I am.

Idra's plays are so obvious. Anyone going against Idra already knows that he will never attack you early, that he will power drone and try to expand a bunch, it's like knowing exactly minute by minute the build order of you'r opponent.

I'm really disappointed he didn't get to variate his play a little bit to adapt as we saw all the people in the GSL are doing. Fast reaction and adapting you play to counter the opponents is the basics of a strategy game. Playing blindly like he did today isn't what a strategy game is.

Lotze just showed the intelligence and the brain needed to reach the top. Skill is important, but brainless mechanical playstyle will get owned by a smart opponent even if this opponent is less ''uber macro'' or what ever.

What a pleasant fellow. Just from this small interview I'm hoping to see much more of him.

Brainless mechanical playstyle only works with terran I don't know why Idra thinks Zerg fits his playstyle

GL to him next season, though. g0g0 TLO!

Idra's tactics and unit compositions have been varying a lot over the past month. Last time I heard about his ZvP, he teched straight from speedlings into hydras and then mutas/ultras. Now we're seeing burrowed speed roaches, drops, and roach/hydra unit mixes with corrupters.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with being a consistent and strong macro player. I see no reason for him to change what is likely the strongest part of his zerg play by far.
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.

Fixed.

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.

Cool guy, the more information about the GSl players the better! Thumbs up.

People should play anticipating anything that may possibly be thrown at them. They should not depend on match history of the opponent for their strategy. That can either be a success, or as seen now, just as well bite you in the ass.

Now I'm all for being fair and balanced, but some part of me really wants Lotze to contract testicular cancer. Jus' sayin'.
