Good interview ^^ Didn't know IdrA was so depressed at the "imbalance" that he was considering retiring at some point!

Oh man... back then some of the maps were so hardcore T favored in TvZ. It wasn't even racial imbalance that was the problem. The map pool was total garbage. In that series vs. Jinro... IdrA had to play the most absurd TvZ ever

Xel'Naga Caverns
Jungle Basin
Close Position Metal
Close Position Shakuras (back when there were destructible rocks in your main).

It was honestly the most depressing thing in the world for a zerg to watch. Honestly I wouldn't blame him if he retired after that series.

Not to take anything away from Jinro though. Jinro did play outstanding. Can't really fault him for a map pool that is out of his control.

I kinda agree on him with the Muta point. I dont see neither why T should have more options against muta, imo they allready have 3. (Marine, Thor, Turret) Toss could have use of the temp. (even though some might think the mass stalker is pretty good against them)


Well I find that one relevant point is that people say Terran has multiple options vs mutas however when thinking of HOTS the thor is no longer a vs muta unit since you can only build one of them. Thus they are replacing the thor for the warhound XD.

So your list changes to marine, turret and mech warriors with a parsing of ravens. And I speculate that due to the fact the Warhound is anti-mechanical it's better for the Zerg then dealing with a Thor.

Anyhow as to pertaining to the interview it was pretty good. If you're going to interview more well known players I would avoid asking some more well known facts of the player and perhaps ask some more detailed questions like there strength and weaknesses and the overrated question are good questions in that regard. Possibly ask what aspect of your game are you currently trying to refine and why. The two first questions mentioned that you asked I find is really cool to see a player mentality.

However if your goal is to do self-contained interviews that present a player for someone with very little exposure to SC2 then it was a wonderful interview that I think accomplished that goal.

I hope you keep up the good work.

how is nerchio overrated? if something he is underrated. he's got one of the best zvzs outside of korea and stomps top players every week- he is a bit inconsistent but as i remember in the best foreigner thread 80% of the people didn't even know anything about him, how could he be overrated then. Idra is just butthurt cuz he is 0-4 vs him.

anyways he seems like a cool guy in the video

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 fanboys, the others are just IdrA's fanboys 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 more for the former since IdrA gets shit on on a daily basis by a large portion of both TL and reddit.





Ok what are all you people going on about Idra being shitted on on TL and reddit every day? If any thing he is the most praised player I've ever seen on TL and Reddit. Look at his fan club no other fan club even comes CLOSE to Idras. Look at the ASUS ROG show match poll, he is wining in 3 out of 4 of those votes casted by the community. when he streams he gathers shit loads of viewers, once he had 21k on his stream. He has way more fans then haters, WAY more.

lol ya that was the most bullshit series ever. If the maps were not that bad, I don't see Jinro winning AT ALL. The fact that the series were close is a testament to this.

About the overated players question, all you need to understand is that Idra is a competitor and he gave the name of 3 player he consider as rival, that's all.

Stephano is currently rated above Idra, so it's perfectly normal that Idra says Stephano is overated. He is not being BM or meaning that Stephano is bad, but as a competitor you have to believe the other guy is not better than you.

Same with Nerchio and Kiwikaki, you can tell their is a huge rivalry.


I don't think nerchio or kiwikaki is considered above idra by anyone.


well nerchio is considered above idra by me for example. don't make assumptions just because you're gay for idra
