Idra would probably make a very mediocre SC2 Terran on the tournament level, Artosis's stories notwithstanding. That doesn't mean Idra's bad, it means Idra's playstyle works best with Z, and he is near-godlike at that playstyle. TLO thrives on variation, his protoss was always poor because protoss has always been very rigid. Zerg now has variation, Terran no longer doesn't. It's always mech in TvZ and always MMM/vikings in TvP. Look at any TvP on Xel'naga Caverns, it's always the same two builds taking the same three bases that ends in a mexican standoff by the third base PF. Mech in TvZ? I dunno about that(anymore). The issue is that, in my mine, you can't do anything early game significant, and that in EVERY matchup it's all bio all the time. Occasionally tanks/vikings make an appearance, and occasionally there are banshees/ravens, but it's always over an infantry core, and that's rather limiting. | ||

Multiple factories. Of course there's always gonna be an infantry core, that's not the same thing as MMM. MMM is the primary army composition in bio play, in mech play it's more of a support role. EDIT: much like there's always gonna be zlots/stalkers/sentries with any toss composition and there's always going to be lings in any zerg composition. | ||

To beat it, you have to do the same build.... as a terran which is very difficult or apply early pressure. Since early pressure was nerfed, Zerg can easily take that expansion, have a defence ready for it. Sad as it sounds basically the whole ZvT game depends on wherever you stop that early expansion or not because if you don't you could have mutas harassing your base or you'll just easily get outmacroed. Don't know what they were thinking with this patch probably making terran have to work for early game pressure and make the zerg scared to ever expand again. I'm currently still playing terran and adjusting to see if i can beat Z in ZvT. I've won a few games but no success for one BO to stop the Zerg atm. XD. | ||

I don't even think he's good enough to beat top foreigners. To me he's always been a flashy player with a big fanbase because of stupid shit like "TLOwnage" or his "creative" play, but when it comes to actual straight up matches he falls flat. I guess the reason for his switch is that now terran isn't as strong against zerg say a month ago, so makes more sense switching to zerg. To me this is still pretty stupid because IMO PvZ is still broken in high levels and zerg is by far the hardest race to play because it's mostly defensive, so he should do even worse in tournament results now. Sorry to hurt anyone's feelings but this is just how I feel. This sounds like a person who's only knowledge of TLO's play is from the TLOwnage video. He showed exceptional creativity as Random all throughout the Beta. I guess you think Battle of the Timing Attacks is the epitome of strategy. I don't comprehend how you label creative play as stupid shit. | ||
