I've seen him leave games at the start against Top 3 times in a row just because it was Top.

IdrA will catch up eventually.
I also think he's more concerned about winning the gsl and not being 1st in the ladder, which doesn't get you any money.

So far I've found a few VODs from a tournament in November he plays a very cool style and does some amazing shit. His playstyle and reluctance to reveal his identity make me think he's either a very successful SC1 progamer or a Blizzard employee from KR. oGsCarmel(P) vs 저승사자 (Z) http://jupanda.tistory.com/424oGsVicaL(P) vs 저승사자 (Z) http://jupanda.tistory.com/422SKit(T) vs 저승사자 (Z) http://jupanda.tistory.com/419Enjoy! The korean site was pretty slow for me. I suggest clicking play on all the VODs (they pause automatically as they run out of buffer) and letting it load for a few hours until you can enjoy them all without interruption.
it translates to hell lion if that helps at all.

I agree with idra about the mule idea.
also would love to see idra stream some off race, the point a poster made about the forcefields is interesting. I'm glad Idra doesnt play terran :D

I think its highly doubtful that Blizzard will do any other change than those we have seen on the PTR.

Its ridicilous how much cheese you see on the Korean ladders - it doenst matter if you watch Huk, Idra or thewind - it seems to be chees-o-rado. No surprise that Terrans are on top of the ladder since they can cheese and recover the easiest. I agree. He rages way too much before he should. You can't even tell him to not ragequit because those words are insta ban in chat lol. If he doesn't want people to talk about him ragequitting he should stop doing it. its not ragequitting, community is just too ignorant to realize when a game is over. But Idra we're pros like you too! The man has a point, seen lots of games where a top player quits and I have to think an extra minute or two to realize why it happened. OT: I wonder why all the foreigner drops? Practicing in customs more than ladder or something?EDIT: I like how once Idra posts all of a sudden everyone changes opinion.. So ya Idra sucks! He shouldn't rage quit what a newb! ect. ect. you wonder why a lot of foreigner drops the week of christmas ? :D

IdrA, what changes would you make to Zerg to make the race more viable? I already read your scouting changes but what else would you change?

Everytime I see him streaming it's past midnight central time. Since he's in Korea and I'm never up past midnight on the weekdays, he's probably streaming at like 3 or 4 in the morning.

Check his twitter he always tweets when the stream goes up. Twitter.com/idrajit ( i think)..that should give you a good idea of the times he streams.

Maybe Idra would get a wider range of experience if he stayed in games he knew he would lose but were reasonably close. He needs to get better at stopping cheese/all-ins anyway if he wants to become a true S-class Bonjwa.

What is the point in "learning how to stop cheese/all-in" after it has already been executed?
Once the bunker/cannons are up, the learning opportunity is over. Your only option at that point is to attempt to claw your way back into a game from a majorly disadvantaged position. This might be decent for practicing your "playing on the fly" ability, but for refining small parts of your game and keeping yourself in a positive mind-frame, this will do nothing but ruin your vibe.
I really wish every random noob would stop telling the guy who makes money off of SC2 how he should be playing the game...

Exactly. If you have already failed to stop the cheese staying on is rather pointless. From then on your opponent should win and only way for him to not win is to make some massive mistake. This isn't really improving your play though since all you are doing is relying on his mistake. Far better to just go into the next game and try stop the cheese.

Did you seriously just say that 72% win rate is not that hard? Just becuase you remake an account does not mean you can play scrubs for a majority of your games. You will be playing people in the 3k range in NO TIME. Don't be so ignorant please.

Wait, there's a guy named Excrement? Excellent.
Always amusing to see Korean names. MagicalGirl? InvinciblePowerRanger?
The winner though has to be MyLifeForIU.

I don't know if I would say im impressed with MK's win %. I'm more interested that his style of play can produce that high of a win percentage. I don't know if massing out zealots or zerglings would be nearly as effective no matter how well I controlled them.

I meant for a top player that it wouldn't be hard.
It's like BW pro-gamer smurfing and destroying everyone on Iccup.
