Q: What was your biggest defeat? A: Probably when I lost to Jinro in GSL Code S in January. It was my last GSL before I left Korea and I played really well. I felt I could beat him and reach the finals. Then we spawned in close positions twice, and I lost the 6 pool to a Marine with 5 hitpoints. That was a cruel way to lose. Blah blabla :D. Never admitting he lost to the better man ^^. | ||

http://sc2ranks.com/ranks/kr a randomer 난초 (rank 27) is higher than the highest zerg oGsCezanne (29) probably because he play terran/protoss 2/3 of the time | ||

He might've been a better player if you just dropped them down from the sky to start playing at a random point in time, but Jinro was crazy at preparing for a game. He'd study his opponent until he could perform a lubed rape... in starcraft... | ||

Pretty sure that Idra is quite serious in his whines about the game's balance. What's annoying is that it rubs off on 80% of Zerg players in general, who just become martyrs and spend more time talking about how hard they have it rather than playing the game. | ||

Does wonder for his points though and being top 200 in ladder is the only way you can participate in code B, so I would think that some people are taking it seriously | ||

Uh.. then ignore them? Imbalances idra talks about are not the same as ladder imbalances. The game he plays is completely different from the ones platinums on ladder play. | ||

You don't think players like Nestea or Losira couldn't destroy the ladder if they wanted to? In Korea most good players are on a team/clan so custom games are better for practice. | ||

Do you think all the top zergs just happen to "not take it seriously" while the top players of other races take it at least more seriously because they are certainly all doing better on ladder than the zergs? Now, balance isn't the only reason why zergs may not be performing as well, for instance most ladder maps are pretty terrible for zerg and the fact at least terran mirror matchup is less volatile than ZvZ, but it still raises some questions. | ||

So IMO there is no point in trying to prove a point by the positions of the races on the ladder ... not until the close spawns and small maps are gone and Blizzard finally makes a decent mappool with "cheeseproof maps". Until that time we wont see Zerg at the top of that ladder due to the slow speed at which that race grows at the start of the match and which makes it impossible for Zerg to cheese (except for the sixpool probably and that is super risky against possible wall-ins). | ||
