Also, I'd say Greg "IdrA" Fields when talking about him personally or his winnings and IdrA when talking about his in-game skills. Bolding the headlines to each game might help it stand out a bit more, so you can see where you move onto the next game. Thanks for making this write-up and I'd love to see more games along with the original post you have.


Thank you for the tip!

I love idra, and the fact that he is dominating TvZ with muta/ling/bling/infestor even though mutas really went out of date a while ago. I also like how in the last round of the ign proleague he was able to make all of his mutas fly in different directions at almost one time just for kicks and giggles. This showed that his micro was on par with the likes of boxer lol love you greg

I really liked the write-up. Other than some grammatical and spelling errors I really didn't see anything wrong with it.

Yeah something like Greg Fields morphs into the Gracken. or Greg Fields: Leading the Swarm to Victory. I'm still trying to think of them. You can always pm a mod or request someone to change the title for you.


The Gracken unleashed.

Maybe he just means we have been seeing some other strats lately that is not the usual ling/bling/muta fest that's been so popular against terran.

IdrA's "I don't play terran because i have self respect"

For some reason I remember that comment made quite a long time ago, back in 2010. Was this chat screenshot included in the ROOT.Drewbie game to add some more entertainment and flavor? Because I clearly remember this infamous chat log from the past. Did he just do this again?

Great picture of IdrA, he looks intimidating with his leather jacket and his sort of fluttered eyelids. Good job and release the Gracken!!!1

Yeah, that quote was 5-6 months ago when terrans were quite OP but they all denied it. Thing like:

Reapers with fast speed
Barracks before depot
Tanks did a solid 50 on everything
BC did 48 damage per second (10 damage at .225)
Bunkers took 30 seconds to build (they take 40 now... I think)
Medivacs were faster
EMP killed ALL protoss energy instead of 100


IdrA has not really talked about terran since, and that matchup is considered by the community one of the best and most balanced now.

I would agree that the changes to terran did fix all the OP things they could do before in the past. However I do feel that the reaper is a bit overnerfed. IMO I think they should be just tweaked, and I agree that depot before rax is fair.

Personally I think reaper build time should be faster and the nitro packs back to require just tech lab, but scale their HP down to just 30 HP. They would be 2 shot by stalkers and 1 shot(?) by spines.

My vision of reapers are, very dangerous but murder on your APM to control if you care to keep them alive at all.
