If, btw, you're going to take a dump on someone's post that did take effort to compile, show the minimal courtesy of putting in effort into your own post. Do tell us how that is not a slump period. Enlighten us as to why it is a bad comparison. Or, in other words, contribute in some way.

It's a dream we all share.
MC definitely has a special relationship with EG (games vs. Idra, Huk, and Puma). It only gets better now that's he on SK so I get all my old-school-esport-team fuzzy feelings.

The period where Idra did well in Asus ROG, IEM Guanzou and MLG obiously wasn't a slump period, because Idra did well in these tournaments. In fact, this period was his most successful time for the entire past year and was widely considered a kind of "comeback" since his last results before that were quite some time ago. So actually the post tries to compare Idra's results of the past year to Stephano's results and implicitly tries to overvalue Idra's results by calling them results during a slump, which doesn't make any sense, since they were his BEST results since his GSL RO8 run.

not sure why but I feel he's going to stomp everyone in the following month

Actually I think IEM was the end of the slump period. If you remember that same event he went 1-2 in the group stages, and only pulled it together during the bracket play. I agree though that the original post is incorrect in saying that was idras slump period.

made my day, thank you 
i wonder how long it will take till we see a lot of ravens around with hms vs broodlord, was pretty evil when idra played nonge on stream.

But... you have to SWAP an ADDON to build a raven.

i would love to see idra streaming for some time before he gets back to usa for the winter arena
i hope he will make it to the playoffs. the games vs MC and MVP will be interesting (hopefully some macro stuff, maybe.. i dont like the <10min games..)

Fuck blizzard. They don't give a shit about us Terrans, nerfing us every single chance they get. Every single successive season, Terran has been getting the short end of the stick, whether it is with bigger, Zerg-favored maps or stupid nerfs. Seriously, I'm done with this shit. Yea, I'm raging cause i'm on a huge losing streak, but still, fuck you blizzard.
User was warned for this post Even though he was warned, I agree with him fully. Ghosts and tanks have been molested into the ground. And the matchup is not only not T favored, but OP for zerg. Infestor muta broodlord????? none of it gets touched yet we get a snipe nerf? Cmon........Starting to think this has to do with a hots release date coming soon and wanting to have ppl jump on the zerg bandwagon coz this is rediculous. If you can't see the problem with muta/bl/infestor, yet you think snipe is a problem???? This just doesn't make sense in my brain. When I first saw the patch preview on the side bar I was like " Yes!!! Finally they are gonna do something about this bullshit muta/infestor/bl combo. Only to open the link and see mule and snipe nerf, at that moment my brain just turned off. there could be a coincidence between terran nerfs and terran having higher winrates on the highest level of play? i know it normalized in the last few months but most nerfs were needed. Stats show terran only winning 30% of their games late game TvZ at some tourney and then they nerf our late game option with no PTR? Really mind boggling Add onto this the new changes in HOTS Ultra Death charge makes that tech switch even more painful... That grab unit spell will just destroy terran with pulling tanks... Idk if terran doesnt get some love soon im switching to zerg with HOTS. Zero ladder games as Zerg and it is just as strong as my terran with 3000+ 1v1 games played all in masters top 20... I did love Terran played it all beta and yes it needed some nerfs but blizz is just neutering terran same reason that every patch blizzards nerfed terran and then terran winrates shot right back up to where they were before after a couple weeks. terran players keep finding new crutches that allow them to win without being all that good. mid game timings are so powerful and easy to win with up to a certain level that you have a ton of terrans who just 2 base allin every game and win the majority, but if they get past that they have no idea what to do and try to fight broodlord infestor with marine tank. I see, so its a loose loose situation for Terran eh Greg? But i guess you are trolling as always so there is no point in arguing, i mean its pretty obvious that Terran are having a really hard time vs P cause their late game is crap (comperatively) and we all know it and Protosses have become so much better at defending early pushes. Also TvZ lategame was looking balanced with ghosts, at least that's what the past few months tournament results were telling but lets ignore all these, Terran is OP! I am betting though that at some point they will have to do something about Terran's lategame hopefulness we were talking about tvz. tvp late game does seem very protoss favored and t might need help in that matchup. but terran incompetence accounts for that late game tvz win %. watch good terrans, ones who have games that end up in the late game without failing a timing attack, who know how to defend properly, who abuse broodlord infestor mobility with mass drops, who use nukes to harass and prevent big attacks, who scan z and make proper counter unit compositions. top tier t's have no problem going toe to toe with top tier z's late game, if the zergs manage to survive to that point. *Posted in response to Difference between korean and non-korean terrans.
