IdrA is so terrible GRRRRRRR love the double standard, it was a showmatch that didnt matter wheres the entertainment in watching alive all-in every game? none Yes, because the community always has an unanimous opinion about everything. Seriously, do you even believe what you write? Some people were upset with Naniwa, others less so, same for Stephano and IdrA. But you have to invent a revisionist history where suddenly everyone has a double standard about him. You are the one that has the double standard. | ||

The only coinflip part is when Idra failed to react and prepare properly and died straightout. Typical Idra - blame the opponent when he fails. | ||

He remindes me of a few sports stars that I have followed. They have amazing tallent and when they play well they leave you in awe. But their mental attitude prevents them from achiving their true potential and leaves everyone wondering what they could have been. | ||

Well, perhaps he knows there is no really such thing (at least that 11/11 is not a "coin flip", especially not versus him), but he hopes his remaining fans will pick that sentence and use it to defend him. coin flip builds still exist, 6 pooling for instance is a coin flip build every all-in is a coin flip build most mid game timings are coin flips like for instance if you go for an early hellion/marauder push thats a coin flip if you go for a fast roach baneling all-in thats a coinflip if you 4 gate off one base thats a coin flip if you DT rush thats a coin flip On February 24 2012 09:40 architecture wrote: It is more than possible to survive Alive's builds, and take a minimal amount of damage.

Typical Idra - blame the opponent when he fails. he didnt blame Alive, yes it is possible to survive the builds easily, it is also possible to die easily, hence calling them a coinflip build, your flipping a coin and hoping they arent prepared | ||

Is he implying that the midgame muta will now be insufficient in buying enough time for zerg macro? He said the late game protoss army will already beat a muta army. So, was the phoenix buff unnecessary in his opinion? Not very clear | ||

Double 6 pooling however would be like if alive had gone for a completely blind 5 rax marine proxy all in. The point is that once again IdrA is being idra and i can't believe people respect him for that. you realize alive went proxy 2 rax and double reactor hellion in games 1 and 2? So yea its exactly equivalent... that was the point lol | ||

Not very clear Sounded like because of the cost and time it takes to get, the upgrade could only serve as making the Protoss deathball even stronger which it doesn't even need and the muta problem happens mid-game not late-game, so Protoss needs a mid-game option that means they can attack without risking an immediate base-trade. | ||

I personally love all-in's and cheese and I believe they are necessary. I think they make the game more exciting/upredictable and tightens up the allowable set of builds that can be done. When a cheese works and the cheeser cake-walks over his opponent they suck to watch, but when someone holds it off or beats the cheese it is always fun and exciting to watch. Sometimes when the cheese works it's exciting like with Game 1 MMA vs MVP at Blizzcon GSL Finals. That was some excellent cheese. I do think IdrA is spot on about PvZ and and I think the same applies to an extent to PvT. Those matchups just aren't that fun to watch imo. The way that SC2 Protoss interacts with the other two races right now is just uninteresting. PvP is much more enjoyable now that you can't 4 Gate everything. Protoss is just wonky :/ | ||
