Every time my opponent offensively GGs, I play this game. Once I had 30 drones in overlords on Taldarim with a bank. I lasted 15 mins after the gg. xD
But seriously, anyone who is high masters could probably pull this off. Wish I was there...
The few times I've let them kill my whole base to kill me, they would usually decide to kill all but 1 building (intentionally, I wouldn't even hide anything), and try to wait me out.
This one time I told them I was going to the gym.. I came back and he still didn't kill my building. O.o

Idra is going to be aggressive, or at least doing strong timing attacks. It's HIS clock to kill you by 20 minutes, and you can bet he's not going to wait till the 19th minute mark to start attacking
This is what a lot of people are neglecting to realize. IT IS HIS TIME, like you aren't going to kill idrA unless you are seriously a pro. A lot of people forget he is a pro and better than .1% total players in the world, 20 minutes and he has pro level macro and micro, along with pro level timing attacks. This is not passive idrA.

You never know. I remember at quakecon the only person who got a kill on fatal1ty to win some gear was some random girl who had no idea how to play the game beyond click = shoot.
I'd never have a chance though, because I'd have to ZvZ him which never lasts 20 minutes anyway.

It would be harder as protoss, but fairly easy as terran for anyone who knows what they are doing. 2 base tank bunker and thor\turret turtle is pretty much unbreakable with decent sim city by any max ling/baneling/roach comp. He would have to wait until broodlords hit, which wouldnt be until 14-15 minutes, then you just have to make sure to building vikings and you could delay and hide buildings for some time.

When they say 20 minute game, do they mean 20 real minutes or 20 Blizzard minutes. That would probably make a significant difference.

I agree, anything can happen. but I'd like to point out that this event is a different story in a FPS. All you have to do is sneeze and accidentally click at the right second.

Play Terran. Last as long as possible while massing Barracks. Upon near death, lift all the rax and collect your loot

I'm pretty sure that was in an FFA.

Using a FPS game isn't really a good comparison. I could probably get a kill on a pro FPS player given 100 chances. Given 100 chances to beat IdrA, I would win 0% of the time.

Don't laugh at Quake3 competitive, you'll lose 500 times in a row against the best players.

"Last in the cage for 1 minute with Cain Velasquez"
I don't think anyone will be lasting 20 minutes

Except idrA isn't beating the everloving shit out of every orface of your body, he is just making you feel mad cuz u bad . Bit of a difference between the two I'd say.

While I believe you, you gotta give some credit to that chick

To all those people who think they can survive playing at a gold league level, you really need to rethink this. What exactly are you going to do? At any point in the game, your army is guaranteed to be smaller than his unless you are high masters. Here is how your plan will fail with each race:
Zerg - Idra is much better at scouting than you are. You will not be able to hide anything from him. So what are you going to do? Wall in with spine crawlers? He'll see that and hit you with mutalisks. Whatever army composition you choose, he'll see it and choose the best counter. And even if you somehow get lucky and manage to trick him, his micro is so much better than yours that he'll still win.
Protoss - How good is your FFE? Will you be even be able to stop his first few zerglings from killing you? If you are even ten seconds late on your cannon, you might lose right away. If you try an immortal/sentry turtle, he can destroy you with mutalisks. As soon as you move out of your base, there will be zerglings inside tearing it down. If you try to hold with only two bases, remember he'll have four by the 11 minute mark.
Terran - as soon as he sees you're turtling, he'll see what you're doing and drone up. He'll see he can build the infestation pit at 8 minutes, which means hive will be done around 10 minutes, and greater spire around 11:45. You're going to have 3000 minerals worth of brood lords in your base by 13 minutes. How will you handle that? That's assuming he doesn't completely destroy you with a mutalisk harassment at the 8 minute mark. He will destroy every slightly misplaced building, he will pick off your SCVs, and as soon as your thors get out of position he will destroy them too.
If anyone were around here to bet with my, I'd bet $20 that no one will last who is less than grandmaster. Also, if you try some stupid cheese, he will scout it and beat it. Unless your name is Gaulzi, you're not going to beat Idra with a cannon rush, he expects it.

Someone at gold level will just be overrun by pure ling/bling/roach.
(High) masters might make it if they are terran and turtle sufficiently enough, I think. Although, 'turtling' enough might mean that idra just takes the whole map and has broodlord/corrupter/infestor at your door at like 13 minutes in.

Like they would ever throw idra in PL... they already have taeja hero stephano JD puma JYP revival zenio... Far too much talent between the teams to be reaching so far
I'll give you everyone but Zenio. He's not that great.

I suggest all trying to pick protoss - IdrA's infamous "favorite" race of all times. (: And don't forget to make "gay" shit.
