I had the opportunity to interview IdrA after his RO16 matches of GSL Code S. I mainly asked him how he felt before and after his matches along with the current state of Zerg vs. Protoss.

Here's an excerpt taken from the interview on http://www.myeg.net/

You managed to win all of your games pretty convincingly. Did you expect the games to go that well for you?

IdrA: No, not at all. I figured I'd barely advance and that there was no way I could beat genius. I have no confidence in zvp right now and I expected to play both zvt's on xelnaga, which isn't as bad as the terrible maps but is still pretty hard zvt.

You mentioned in an earlier interview that you were least confident against protoss. Why are you the least confident against that race right now? Do you feel as though that matchup might be imbalanced?

IdrA: I think its zerg's worst matchup at the moment, yes. Especially given that air play was already really strong and it got buffed in the last patch, we haven't even seen what will come of that.


You can read the entire interview at http://www.myeg.net/article/article_detail.php?article_id=1007

mod edit: please refrain from posting spoilers in this thread

Great interview! Idra is surprisingly frank. Given the BM between Genius and Idra, I didn't expect Idra to admit that he thought he was going to lose.

So far Idra's GSL results haven't been quite up to par with his potential imo, this might be his season though! Good luck Idra!

I think idra expected MC to crush his group and that meant Jinro would have to get second if he wanted him to move on.

That actually sounds exactly like Idra. I don't know when people started thinking he was a egomaniac on top of being BM since that's not true at all. Like the Zenio incident where Idra said that Zenio BMing him means he was happy enough about the win and considered him a good player.

Is there any player in particular currently in the RO8 that you would like to face?

IdrA: Not particularly, I'd like to get to play Jinro again I suppose.

And Jinro delivered it for him

he is listing all the stuff that hydras counter, and then comes up with two units which counter hydras and those require massive teching, yet he is whining that they get countered by them....

go play toss and whine about marauders countering your race
