Yep I'm sure you know more than IdrA. Rofl at Thors being terrible against mutas though. They are always cost effective against mutas even when magic boxed.

It's interesting to listen to Idra's reasoning to play Zerg. He obviously put a lot of thought into it.
|
I think that's the first time he's answered "why did you play zerg" without the response "Because artosis is a fucking idiot"

Stephano is a overrated by the community, just read the TL comments when he wins, he's been put at the same level as Nestea countless times. I also read multiple times that he will be the only player to keep up with the brood war A-teamer when they start playing starcraft 2... Being very very good (idrA's word) doesn't shield you from being overrated. At the moment, IdrA's also overrated, of course it's covered by the fact that 1/4 of the community shits on him blindly .
As for Nerchio, he wins a lot of online stuff, but that's not enough for the hype he consistently gets. And the fact that is ZvZ was (and maybe still is) better than IdrA's is hardly enough to say that Idra's opinion is irrelevant.

I see some ignorant few fanboys comparing him and Nestea not " the community"; that kind of ridiculous hyperbole is more appropriate to idra actually lol. And stephano has just as many haters as idra and I don't see what that "covers" as it's all fanboyism.

Thank god you did not quit idra!!
♥ thanks for interview, really well done

Nicely done, interesting as well to get inside IdrA's head. Would have preferred a youtube upload, but a FB one is ok.
|
Awesome Interview !!! Enjoyed it !
|
Guys, overrated does not mean a player is bad.
|
French people speaking English. So hard to concentrate on the questions.
|
French accent is soo hot, love it
Probably first interview where I've gone: "Shut up interviewed person, let the interviewer talk!"
Sry idrA

1 thor is roughly half the cost of 4 mutas, so I'm not sure how that example should prove thors not being cost effective.

The guy says thors are cost effective against mutas even when magic boxed, which is true. The real reason people don't go pure mech vs Zerg is that they don't get have any map presence until a huge ball gets formed. With no pressure on the Zerg, he's free to mass expand vs the meching Terran and eventually overpower him with raw numbers.

When Idra says a player is really really good, he truly means it. He called Nestea bad ffs after he won the GSL. How many people has Idra called 'really really good', who isn't a teammate or close friend. It is clear he admires Stephano but simply doesn't think he is bonjwa level, which some of TL thinks.
As for Nerchio, he has failed in every LAN he has been to (comparatively speaking). He was at ESWC and IEM ya know, and he had no notable placings in either. Calling him the 2nd best foreigner Zerg (yes, people think this) is hugely disrespectful to a lot of Zergs who have won more.
I can fully understand his hatred for the game after gsl Jan. Imagine TvZ today, and how it would look like with Delta Quadrant, Steppes of War, Jungle Basin, Close positions, Xelnaga (your best map!), blistering (imagine ghost mech here, disgusting) and horizontal old shakuras. Terran literally would not lose to Zerg on the old ladder maps and professionals had to put up with it for 4 gsls. It baffles me how bad the Terrans must have played to actually lose on these maps. oGsEnsnare could beat Nestea on Delta Quadrant 10 games out of 10.
