...Idra got his wish: Ro8 rematch vs Jinro and a very possible semifinal vs NaDa, cuz it's very likely that MKP will get crushed

I just don't understand why every interview is designed to feed IdrA's whining with stupid questions.

That aside even when every protoss was whining about PvT and had an abysmal win rate versus them in tournaments, we had people like MC who just radiated complete confidence and found creative solutions to fix his problems, and beat his opponents by just being better than them, instead of asking for buffs in every interview.

Until people like IdrA realise their own limitations and improve their game instead of blaming their race, they will never be destined for true greatness like Boxer. And the only fans he will have are the legions of people who also think that their losses are due to the problems with the game, instead of problems with their own skill.
Envy fan since NTH.

don't underestimate marineking.

he was slaying the korean ladder for almost the entire beta.

i think the mk vs nada match is like 60:40 in favour of marineking.

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.

go play toss and whine about marauders countering your race

It's pretty obvious you don't play zerg. I don't know why you're bothering commenting this way when you know nothing about what he's talking about. Colossus may require more tech, but they still barely come out later than when hydras amount to a threatening force, not to mention the extra time it takes for that threatening force to crawl across the map to your base.

Marauders have nothing to do with this issue so you can stop the irrelevant 'we have it worse' bullshit.

Really should stop asking IdrA about the state of ZvT and ZvP. It's always impossible to win even if you win.

Thanks for asking the question about NaDa. I was really wondering if it would mean something special to him.

Hydras are like marines--insanely impossibly strong against everything that Toss has except collosus and storm, but they get rocked stupidly hard by those two options. Terran and Zerg will complain about collosus and storm, but Protoss is equally right to complain that they auto-lose to marine or hydra compositions of half the cost of P's army until they have their late game tech.

Protoss's game logic goes something like this:

P's T1 units are exceptionally weak for cost in the mid-game. Marines, marauders, roaches, hydras and zerglings will beat any gateway composition for cost pretty comfortably. This is offset in two ways. In the early game, warpgates allow P to get extra units early on if they choose to do so, so P can build enough crap to defend or be aggressive despite their weaker units. As the army sizes grow, however, the weakness of the T1 units becomes increasingly exposed, so this is offset in the mid and late game by insanely strong tech options in collosus and storm.

Zergs and Terrans complain about Protoss late game, but Protoss has no answer to comparable cost roaches until Protoss reaches 180+ food.

Yeah, I can't believe one hydra did some much. Maybe we will see more hydra play?From idra atleast. Seems like idra was pushing for a buff to hydras. haha

Oh shut up please, i really hate this type of whining, esspecially when it's untrue. Good force field usage with lots of zealots and stalkers can rape pure roach, nevermind be cost-effective.

protoss wins t1 against standard zerg play in a fight. the combination of forcefield/zealot/stalker is extremely powerful. plus zealots > lings, micro'd stalkers > roaches fact.

1 colossus with tier 1 support rapes a ball of hydras. you can't make enough hydras to soft counter colossus as zerg unless your opponent is terrible. fact.

tier 1 units aren't meant to carry you the entire game. there's a reason they suck mid/late game. fact
