IdrA vs NamhciR

I'm just watching for the probable ragequit. IdrA sucks nowadays.



Idra is terrible.



Lol, as expected.



i am so surprised by this series! idra lost and ragequited ? no way!



lol, i'd be surprised if anyone would gg to that.
and yeah, idra loses twice to a cheeser, absolute garbage amirite?



why thumbs down? some games (idra games) are supposed to be entertaining and not "good" lol



Poll: Who is the worse player of starcraft 2?
1) Richman
2) Idra

I mean we all know richman is a pos. But Idra is possibly worse.



Idra ist very talented



Why have all the comments saying Idra sucks? Did you even watch the games? Since when has losing to cheesy bunker rushes from players who cant beat you any other way been an indicator of sucking? So Namhcir knows how to 2 rax and build bunkers to win games...what leet skillz!! EVERY zerg, i repeat, EVERY zerg, will lose MANY games to cheesy terran bastards. It is unavoidable.



Sure they mean wins, but the bunker rushes are soooo predictable and boring as a viewer



I agree with "ianjamesbarnett" (funny nick) :-)

IdrA is a pretty impressive player. Just look at his win rate, not just on Ladder, but tournaments as well. Sure you watch many matches where he loses to early aggression, but there are two good reasons for that.

1) IdrA is way more exposed to cheese and all-in strategies than other professionals, because his style doesn't vary much from game to game. Some of the best strategies against his style are based upon early aggression, but that doesn't mean he doesn't execute it well, and nor does it mean that it's a bad style. It's just that, when it's IdrA, it's quite predictable... at the moment.

2) People who beat IdrA share the replays of the games where they beat him. He doesn't share his replays (including wins), so the only times you get to watch commentaries that give a fair impression of IdrA, is when he advances to the final rounds in tournaments, where all games are cast - which happens pretty damn often. This guy qualifies for most tournaments he enters, and makes it to the finals just as much as other professionals on that level.

But all other commentaries of him... well, it's just because his opponents share replays when they beat him, and IdrA doesn't share his replays at all. Look at his win rate... I mean, I am no fan boy, but saying he's bad, is the stupidest fucking trend to ever have happened in this community. It's just a false statement, according to results, statistics and even other professional players' opinions of IdrA.

:-) Not the best game, but fine commentary. I hope IdrA soon improves his ability to surprise his opponent a bit more, and act to some cheese more accordingly.



Thank you so much TheWhiskey for speaking my mind. I couldn't have said it better! :D



I dont know how I feel about this series. Srsly, I feel like you have a right to get angry at the opponent in a ladder game, where you're just wasting some time and fun to a ridiculously easy strategy that simply wins game. But in a tournament, where money is on the line, I dont see why richman should have played macro games when he knew Idra is very bad at holding early agression (I mean really, game 2, keeping 300 minerals to drop the hatch right after the attack when he was not even close to stopping the bunkers ?)

Those were not very enjoyable games to watch, but dropping the f bomb when, he really just got outplayed by someone abusing the most BASIC flaw of his play style, is not bad mannered, it's simply dumb.



Why is everyone saying IdrA's terrible? Yeah he lost to cheese, you realise people in platinum league are able to successfully pull off the cheese richman done? IdrA is good, richman just cheeses his way to victory, showing no skill what so ever.



im not saying he is terrible. i saw fair share of his games in which he was amazing, still i am not surprised by his quiting.

also i dont get it, why do ppl hate cheese? i mean you can do it too. dammit, i use all the advantages i can , so i dont blame when someone who is playing idra does cheese after seeing him ragequit 20 times in that kind of situation.



He scouted the double 9 rax proxy and still hatch first. It's not bad luck. It's not random. It's horrible decision making, plain and simple.



Namhcir is a fking idiot



agree with laertes like allways ^^



Game 1 was bad decision by Idra.

Game 2 really shows how fucking over powered marines are. Ranged, crazy dps plus stim and combat shield make them even more imba. Zerg has no cost efficient way of dealing with mass marines except with banelings or infestors and even then it's not even really cost efficient. All for a 50 mineral unit - the most powerful unit in the game...




It doesn't matter what you Idra fanboys say, at the end the day, the worst player is the one that... guess what? LOSES!
