    This is what I was talking about earlier. Nazgul doesn't bother building a Zealot, and IdrA's 13Pool lings make him pay for it.

    This is what it looks like when two 1800 players feel defeated by playing zvzs all the time.

    (but this is pretty cool, but im wondering why he went for this build the third time even though he knows idra could potentially counter it like last map)

    Holy fuck I can't believe IdrA lost against such a completely all-in strat.

    That's legitimately disappointing.

    I don't understand why IdrA didn't go Hydras in game 3 as well because it's clear that all Nazghul does is Blink Stalkers.

    I mean that Blink Micro was pretty ridiculously awesome. But Xel'Naga jumping? Trying to play the same goddamn game for all three games and just hoping it worked?

    Kulas ravine still being in the pool won that game for him. That mass blink stalker all in was hilariously strong there.

    And I think idra could have won a baserace if he did some weird proxy hatch while murdering Nazguls main.

    Idra should have kept a scout up by the xel naga watch tower once he realized stalkers could blink up there. Instead he didn't scout well and let his whole army get split up for no good reason.

    Wait. How is that bullshit? Because he won? Or because IdrA played stupidly? I don't get how it's bullshit.

    Only T counters their counters, Idra.

    Maybe he thought that there was no way he'd do that same shit a third time?

    This game shows one of the many reasons kulas was removed from the pool though, amazing play by nazgul even so.

    Not sure why Idra didn't go for hydras though, did the attack hit too early or something?

    Really not sure what Idra was doing in game 3, the moment he saw Nazgul was onebasing and only getting stalkers out he should have gone for Hydras, even more so when he attacked and found the entrance closed. I'd ongratulate Nazgul on finding the counter to Idra's playstyle but it really feels like it was Idra's game to lose after that early harass/scout with the lings.

    Considering Nazgul hasn't played much in tournaments as far as I know, and has been busy managing TL, I don't blame him for just figuring out a way to beat Idra and sticking to that plan really, he must have known he stood no chance if he let Idra start to macro and picked what he thought was the best early-pressure build after watching Idra's games against Tyler.

    Whenever a P or Z bitches about T being over powered it's always stfu the T player obviously had better control and was a better player. In this game. Nazgul had CLEAR better micro and won and now P is stupid bs omg op.

    I mean once those lings got into his base it was clear what was going on. For the 3rd time in a row.

    IdrA should have immediately quick-Laired, started creeping, and gotten Hydras.

    I assume Idra didn't go for hydras because he was actually putting pressure on Nazghul's base early and Hydras are worthless when they aren't on creep, and to get the creep to his base would have taken to long? That's my guess, at least.

    It's annoying because Nazghul's strat is an all-in. He didn't expand in any of the games. If he can't win with his blink stalker push, he basically automatically loses the game.

    IdrA's strat, on the other hand, is a generic super heavy macro style that allows for lots of adaptation.

    On a positive note there are more lower bracket games than upper bracket which means we might get more Idra games!
