 ♥ Idra, I really hope he learns and fixes his attitude, I think with the right attitude he could easily be the best player in the world. | ||

I really think he could've won that, then had a very good chance at beating MMA and being guranteed 1st or 2nd place, most likely not having to play MC, and ending up much better than he did. I was really hoping he had learned from the huk incident, but apaprently he hasn't quite yet ♥ Idra, I really hope he learns and fixes his attitude, I think with the right attitude he could easily be the best player in the world. this ... the famous HuK you weren't loss game was really funny this game today was ... sad... and then the meltdown against MC just made it worse... I guarantee Idra advances if he plays more straight up against MC Idra probably has top 5 talent in the world ... I have got to believe if he gets the right mentality he will start dominating like he did early on in the tourney | ||

It has to be from him tilting from previous series or something. It doesn't make sense to not be confident in your macro judging by how his MLG was going until then. I personally didn't think this case of early GGs was funny at all, it was sad seeing that opportunity thrown away. | ||

The reason I say this is because Idra was playing like a man possessed on the first day, he had great games with MC, and showcased BRILLIANCE, then he stomped on the rest of his opponents. Had the Idra from MLG Columbus day one showed up to day two and three, the discussion would probably be why Zerg is overpowered now. Now back to what I was saying, Idra had a switch flipped somewhere, whether it was the loss to Thorzain, or maybe he finally had something to fight for and figured he was gonna lose because he didn't wanna play bad or whatever. I honestly feel that two different Idra's showed up to MLG Columbus, the EG.Idra, and the Korean Idra, the EG.Idra was Day One, the Korean Idra Day Two and most notably Day Three. Now I don't know what triggered it, but if he can get past the issue where he goes on a form of Tilt that can't be undone, I suspect EG.Idra could become the first Bonjwa of Starcraft 2, case and point his first days games. | ||

ZvP doesn't look that imbalanced any more, either. Everyone in Korea agrees the 20-second delay in warp gate research was a huge help. (How many times do you see 4-gate in ZvP any more?) Z is more secure than ever against P in early game and it looks like all races have almost equal chance of winning on majority of the maps. If things like this happen again I will stop watching his games in the future. | ||

He never scouted those really early CC's, so he didn't have any reason to think that was MMA's 4th. 2. He clearly saw that his mutas had the army in the middle basically cleaned up. All the marines were dead, and the turret next to the constructing CC + 4 tanks was nearly dead. IdrA was about to get 5 tanks basically for free. 3. He did move all the drones at the natural into the one gas geyser (very few of which died). He never looked at the area again, so it's hard to say how much value that held in his mind to leave without knowing how many drones actually remained. 4. This is probably the most important one, and might be one of the big reasons he gg'd. At the end of the game, he had 16 lings and 5 mutas under production. However, after those, he had a mere 2 larva remaining, and absolutely ZERO larva injects in progress (total of 5 hatcheries). Most of the remaining seconds before the gg he had the hatcheries selected, and almost felt like he was waiting for more larva to pop, which never really happened. Now, I'm not saying he shouldn't have gg'd, but there's a bit of misinformation and uninformed people around. I would guess that he thought with MMA's reinforcements (that would have been inevitable) he would not have been able to hold it with so few lings or banes. Or something. I'm seriously feeling the pain on Idras behalf on that 4th point. When there's so much action going on, waiting for the larva pop that, probably, has been forgotten to be injected must be such a hard mental blow for Idra. Forgetting such an elementary thing. My guess is that this in combination with believing his drones were dead is what made him think he would lose this game. | ||

I respect the guy and he definitely played phenomenally this weekend, but I swear he kills himself more often than his opponents do... O_O Mirrors my thoughts exactly. Extremely sad, because he showcased some excellent play this weekend, only to let himself down so hard. | ||
