The posts that talk about not GGing being bad manners are downright ridiculous. Leaving a game when you think it's over without saying GG isn't automatically a rage quit, yet so many of you love to assume things. I really doubt Idra was that angry, but I'm sure he wasn't happy.

I can accept that zerg is lacking on good anti-air because it's a racial thing, I don't even mind the toss final deathball being unbeatable because that again is a racial thing but the inability to pick apart / multitask the toss death with a thousand cuts has really been bothering me.
I'd love to see better zergs then me working to re-incorperate baneling drops back into their play now that you have blinding cloud to stop stalkers blinking in and knocking the ovies down / forcing stalkers to burn blink to get out from under blinding cloud. Overlord of banes also allows you to still hurt the toss econ once cannons are up because you can still just drop directly onto the worker line if they don't react in time to pull the workers. You say that as if 5-6 cannons isn't expensive. It's basically two additional nexii's worth of money, and unless you spend another nexus on pylons so you can't just snipe 1/2 pylons to shut the whole network down, it's a pretty flimsy defense. In ZvT people were/are willing to make 20+banelings to take down a PF, why not do the same thing for cannons?
Oh no doubt it's expensive, I'm talking about the mid-late game for sure but you don't need 3-4 pylons as long as you simcity properly. The issues I've found with large quanitites of banes in ZvP is unlike in ZvT banes aren't part of your primary army due to the Toss AoE / FF's and lack of good targets. You also need to spend your gas on infestors / corrupters at that stage in the game where as you can skimp on gas and invest in speedlings in ZvT. Warp in's can also complicate matters though they aren't that large of a factor when you're right clicking enough banes into something.

haha, idra fanboys don't recommend any of the games. i knew minigun would win, but i expected 3-1.

Haha, expected result. Been watching Minigun's HotS stream and he's playing very nicely lately. lol @ Idra.

People really need to calm down... everyone screams idra not relevant. idra not relevant. So yea he lost. I don't really care about idra/miniguns success. if we compare them both. Minigun hasn't really ever been relevant.... so bringing that argument up is stupid. Idra still does well when he doesn't rage and Minigun has been doing well in HoTs (so far, I don't see him having any chance of beating life, but w/e)
Its frustrating to read stuff when people just rage about Idra raging. He's NEVER liked Minigun (or at least never gg'd him). That's they way it is. Idra in his prime could take series' off top koreans. and he showed at WCS that he still has that capability(at least sometimes).
The relevancy arguments are kinda stupid right now. When idra starts consistently losing to lower caliber players. then people can take note. As of now. He hasn't and minigun hasn't started consistently taking games off high level players. Its pointless raging. HoTs will also probably get additional balance patches on launchday/shortly after. SO w/e People just really need to chill.

People need to remember that Minigun has never lost a series to Idra
ever :D This was nothing new

The context made the games hilarious though

I am not sure about Idra, but I swear I saw a mod here confirmed that Day[9] is very different in real life.

Game 1, idra should have really made at least a spore per base knowing how cheap DTs are in Hots. Game 2, idra stayed too long on T2, vipers would definitely changed the outcome. Game 3, well this one is sad, and people still call ultras too strong lol..

No. You have to earn your right to talk smack. Dan gets a lot and I mean a lot of leeway because he's Dan and it is their house. Dan's a pretty blunt guy like myself and there's a reason why they took away his benevolent hammer. Besides he has better things to do. He wasn't that good at Starcraft either, but you know what it was smart on his decision to say screw it I can take people's money through poker and win the old money match of BW from time to time. Props to him for that.

Just an FYI day 9 himself has said this that in real life he is different then how he acts on the day 9 daily's. He has said this multiple times and has never tried to hide that fact either.
To be honest these games were very disappointing I was hoping idra would play... well better or use a better composition . Roach/hydra imo is just garbage verse a protoss who knows what he is doing and yeah. Although idra should have won games 2 and 3, he threw those pretty bad which was also pretty unfortunate, game 2 he just never teched right (stayed roach/hydra so died to a 2-3 colossi push off of 2 base) then game 3 he just left to early he still had that but whatever.

I really don't think he had G3. I mean minigun still had 5 voids, 2 archons, immortal and a great economy. He would definitely had storms in place for next battle, as well as collossus. Idra's 3K he had banked would have just melted vs. that combo.

good job minigun
too bad he has to play life first round lol.

At what point do wannabe "badasses" just become "bad." I'm a Terran player that watches Idra's stream from time-to-time just for the comedy and drama. But it becomes old quick. After seeing the same "FU #%@#@#" it gets kind of monotonous. I've seen his steam count dwindle over the last year from 11k to to around 3k or less - talk is becoming cheap. I'd like to see him come up with something innovative instead of moving his hands really fast and expect an "autowin". I've played him on ladder several times and I just play this for fun ; that should say something about MMR.
This match is an example of someone that needs to get some manners and not consider every match imbalanced - especially when they leave a match, which many would consider Zerg being "ahead".
