wow idra was doing quite well. I don't like pheonix openings. The zerg just needs to build spore crawlers and drone up. An early gate pressure is more effective for early pressure.

Hmm, I don't think Idra would have won that fight anyway. Storm destroys hydras too hard, even if he had the broodlords behind his hydras, the 200/200 protoss army wouldn't have taken that much damage, and he would have lost all his hydras anyway.
Idra really lost that game by moving his broodlords in the wrong direction. I have no idea why he moved them up there.
It looked like he would have won otherwise.
He moved them up there to harass the probes. I mean, he probably should have just moved one up there, and to the opposite side if he wanted to do that.
I feel like IdrA could've actually done something when he wiped out MC's army and was ~50 supply up, like Nydus or drop into MC's production. Instead he pretty much just let MC keep everything and rebuild his army and even tech to HT.

hard for him to be aggressive though once he had mostly hydras

Eh, expected. No one really thought Idra would be able to win against MC, I think. Idra might have been able to do a lot of damage, or at least trade his army cost effectively, if he doomdropped, but that's super risky especially when you know they have pheonixes patrolling. G1 was great play by both sides though. G2... Well, I can see why Idra would do that.
Edit: Yeah, exactly Vari. XNC favors the current favored protoss strats.
Also, Mikeman, he didn't lose to cheese the game before.

mc is going to continue upping his stalker army
and then mc will kill the broodlords with its blink
thats what i think anyway
Yeah I was just thinking how he usually wins with high pressure off 1 or 2 bases.
e: What a sad loss.
Plus Protoss are just...too good =/

yay MC i love that guy

IdrA played great and MC stayed alive with FF spam until he could get the gold base up and running.
Maybe you haven't heard but protoss units are pretty strong and MC's micro is pretty good.

I don't believe he ever simply had the option of ending the game
I'm also not able to watch these since I'm working for the man at the moment
ya'll making me as excited as a tossgirl themed waterpark would
Witty signature comment goes here...
wra
he can't handle pressure or losing
he just decides after one loss to cheese and then gg's?
what a fucking little bitch
or a 4gate or something.
I'm not surprised he made that decision. if idra didn't think he'd survive to a long game he chose to roll the dice.

if he wasn't so arrogant and so condescending towards other people who cheese or go for short games i'd maybe have respect for him
I don't blame IdrA. He made like...one mistake with Broodlord positioning and then suddenly MC's army fucked up in the ass.
Late game Protoss units are the best in the game. Period.
