does anyone know the specific reason why idra left? i remember reading someone saying that he thought mma killed all the drones at his expo, but they were actually all clumped up at the gas and thats why he left

saw gold CC being (re)built, didn't scout that that was the 3rd, thought that it was the 4th, thought he was wayyyyy behind with no forces, gg's out.

I really like this change from IdrA. He used to be the guy who acted like a little child by raging after every lost. Now, as shown by MC's actions towards him, his opponents are actually the ones being rude assholes. IdrA looked way more professional and awesome when he said 'gg' after every loss, including the four games he lost in a row to his rival.

If there is one thing he needs to work on, it's his confidence.


Yeah, MC was way more BM o.O


You're conveniently forgetting Idra's "zerg isn't meant to beat protoss" in the 3rd game vs. MC. He's not only indicating that he's pissed as everyone assumed anyway, but also implying that MC's wins aren't legit, which is very unsportsmanlike and definitely not professional. Doesn't even matter if there is any truth to his statement - you agree to the rules as you enter the game. You can't take your victories but question the game when losing.

I'm not even hating Idra at all, but we should try to be honest here.

word "cool" is used in korea as following.

it is often used as adverb. describing person who does not give a fuck. (i think if coolly is a word, it should be used)

example

**finals of tournment, $100000 on the line

Jinro: (makes 2 bunker at the ramp)
idra: gg

Jinro: that was cool gg


and "image" is way to describe impression of a person.

The prize pool was far from spectacular, even assuming he won the entire tournament Greg honestly gains more from controversy/media over bowing out of the game arguably preemptively. He is clearly an extremely intelligent and calculating character, plus he sure as shit did not have the game 'won' even though MMA couldn't tell the difference between rocks and a cc.

All in all it's a lot of fuss over pretty standard stuff for IdrA, really.

He will never be best zerg in the world if he keeps doing this. Just look at players like losira/nestea/july - all of them fighting until the very end, and that wins the games.

It feels like idra does not care about winning at all, or his mental state is extremelly weak.

You cannon rush him, he insta "ggs", he loose several mutas, he "ggs", he loose expansion - "gg". You never going to be great player with such attitude.

Imo in a tal darim game he wasn't lost at all. 3 pylons & few cannons is huge investiment for protoss. He could have just put a baneling nest, make 5 banelings and bust 600 resources in 2 seconds. I don't say he wasn't in a disadvantage, but he is playing in a huge tournament after all, so make everything you can to win.
You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity

It is so sad what is happening with Idra. He is without a doubt the most talented sc2 foreigner, but he needs a head doctor to set his issues straight.
Maybe having a girlfriend will help him one way or another.

I think IdrA is good enough to know if hes winning or losing.


IdrA said he would have been dead if MMA had a round of marines coming, which he would have if he hadn't killed his OC. At least that's what I remember reading. Looking at the VOD Idra only had a small amount of mutas and zerglings, and looks like he would have been dead if MMA had been rallying marines to his base.

so if the game was in a different state than it was, he'd have been behind

I'm glad all players don't gg when they might be behind a bit, the games would be absolutely terrible

The number of people swinging by IdrA's nutsack is mindboggling. Do you know what 16 mutas can do in terms of counter attacks? If MMA had tried to push forward his economy would have been destroyed by rampaging mutas, while lings rallied from 4 hatches can do a decent job of whittling down the immediate attack. At the most IdrA would have lost one mining base, but MMA would have fell so far behind IdrA , that it would be impossible to win from that point. A player like July or NesTea would have played out the game till the attack reached his main and took out his production facilities.

The idra (generic zerg) mentality:

ZvP is imbalanced deathball is so effective
ZvT is imbalanced terran units are too cost effective
ZvZ is a coinflip i lose to worse players sometimes

get over it, all races have their setbacks and mental challenges. A protoss player may feel that roaches are too cost effective, a terran may feel chargelots are too good and that infestors are OP.. ALL races have things they think are OP.

Idra just gets offended IN game when he loses battles etc and that is why he leaves early so often.. but other races feel the exact same in other matchups. It's 90% about the mentality and 10% about the actual game.

90% the game 10% the mentality*

it's why only the best koreans have high win rates against him ;p

no they are just way better than him, he is delusional about his skill level (like most of his fanboys in here) even if the bs what he keeps saying " zerg isn't supposed to win vs protoss" that didnt have anything to do with his losses, hes just way belove mc in terms of skill

If Idra had won MLG he would have been the undisputed foreign hero, you honestly think he gains more from this?

Am I reading this right that people are claiming he lost on purpose? That's the worst thing I've ever read. Sorry, but Idra and every single top player wants to be the 'best.' In fact, pretty sure every foreigner would love to best the Koreans and be crowned best in world.

I honestly feel the games vs MC made him look even worse than leaving the MMA game.

Looked to be tilting so hard.

Then Losira comes next playing amazing ZvP so the usual "ZvP imbalance" excuse he uses won't help either.

Stop trying to deduce cleverly thought-out plans on Idras behalf why this happened. You honestly think, when he was in the booth he thought; "oh yeah i can hype myself and make an outcry if i just gg now, better do it - besides its a laughable prizepool". really? reeeaally?

It was an irrational mistake. A sad - then funny one, but nothing more. Idra really has shown mortality since D.C though.

Idra had far more then "a few mutas" and 4 bases all running fine and an infestation pit that was up. Plus he was going to clear out all of MMA's tanks. He was very far from being dead, and I trust my eyes as well as MMA's and Day9's judgement more than yours.

I feel really, really sorry for Idra. He played SO WELL on the first day and then after that it all went downhill. MC pushed his buttons perfectly which made Idra more angry meaning his play wasn't as good. He deserved to get further than he did, MC just took advantage of what was presented to him.
