I've heard some people say Idra is the best zerg period (allot more than Stephano I might add ). So idra is overrated at least on TL? >.>


Idra during the beta was actually the best zerg in the world. Actually at one point people were making the argument he was the best player in the world, along with Tester.

Who is this gorgeous interviewer? Seriously I am simply blown away she is so beautiful :O

also IdrA is my hero~

also sexiest accent ever. (not idra)

This nice looking girl is actually a friend of (P)Adelscott confirmed by him on his stream. Unless my visual memory is failing me I believe she is his girlfriend but I can't be sure. She has a french accent, but her spelling is fluent.

Otherwise (T)IdrA showed that he is the smartest player out there by far. Though I love Stephano's playstyle, he hasn't the same mechanics as Idra. But on the other hand, he deals with pressure much better than any other zergs and has a swift reaction time that allows him to maintain a strong economical advantage over time. I am waiting for the time he won't win anymore and he will need to work harder to improve.

To OP : You should consider storing your videos elsewhere because it's on the border of advertising. It's a great work and I'd hate to see that go to waste.


I guess that's why adelscott seems distracted nowadays !
jk but that's a shame we don't see Adel in the top level anymore. Go train harder Adel !

Stephano being overrated is laughable. He's better than idra in every way except macro & metagaming (+understanding the opponent he's facing). TBH I'm also not that much fan of his stylistic play. He overdo it sometimes and it kinda feels like he needs to play funky to be that super good (as opposed to above average foreigner). But that has nothing to with being "overrated".


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.




I didn't say that the entire community called stephano the new Nestea... But his fanboys are just as zaelous as IdrA's and they are very very vocal. And Stephano doesn't have nearly as many haters as IdrA, some of them are just the counterpart of his fanboy, the other are just IdrA's fanboy who don't take kindly the fact that Stephano gets so much hype (and results) .

On a all, i think the community is overrating both stephano and IdrA but i sense it a little more for the former since IdrA gets shit on on a daily basis by a large portion of both TL and reddit.







You said: "Stephano is overrated by the community". Maybe next time make it clear what you actually means

And Stephano has more haters than idra, not in # but relative to his fanbase. Most idra haters aren't really haters but anti-fans tired of his horde of followers & balance QQers. Stepahno on the other hand get blatant hate comments like he cheated, he was lucky, his opponent didn't take it seriously and all kind of stuff to downgrade his wins.


When Idra beat puma at IEM people were saying the games were rigged. Idra's wins get downgraded just as much if not more than stephano. Also I have never seen someone say Idra is the best zerg in the world but I routinely see people say stephano has the best zvt in the world.

If you have never seen anyone say that Idra is the best zerg in the world, clearly you have not been following the scene for a long time. Idra has even been at the top of the "zerg king" poll, which means not only there were people saying Idra is the best, but at some point it was the majority of TL who thought so. Of course this changed after Nestea winning multiple GSL, and Idra struggling after leaving Korea.


You're right. I meant recently after nestea's rise to prominence. There was a while were he actually might have been imo but recently I haven't heard anyone say that but I hear it a lot about stephano.

Good interview. I really agree with how Greg thinks that muta harass will diminish with hots units. Time will tell I suppose.

and yes aptly chosen name, FOXY.

Great interview.
I agree about Nerchio being overrated. But dissagree about MKP and Stephano, MKP is still one of the top 10 koreans imo, and stephano is easily top 10 foreigners. Also looking forward to seeing IdrA in the GSTL for slayers alongside HuK, altho i doubt they will play them that often, if at all.

I think Idra would say stephano is top10 for sure. He said he was really good just that he isn't as good as his results suggest.

Good interview. I kind of agreed with him about harassment, but I think the Oracle will be powerful, maybe even a little OP. And he types through the whole thing like a boss. Thought that was funny.

I think IdrA would definitely consider Stephano a top 10 foreigner. He never said Stephano wasn't good, just that he won't keep winning everything.

I can definitely see SlayerS using HuK - he would be their best protoss, afterall. While IdrA might not be their best Zerg, I'd say he'd be the best at ZvT, so they might use him at first against a terran with weak TvZ.

o.o wait GSTL? I think i missed this part. damn. but if its true, DAMN. Yea Huk and IdrA can probably both pull their weight if they would get sent out, especially being racially diverse for Team Terran Slayers
