Starcraft 2 HD: MLG Dallas Idra v TLO game 1 on Crossfire

[CheeseDm0n]

Diggity's voice reminds me of those people that come in at the end of commercials for medicine, and refute the disclaimer in fine print.

[atomrocketcar]

for people asking why idra gg so fast, its because he knows he's out matched, he knows he is not as good as a real sc2 player, and for those who thinks idra is a real sc2 player, hes not, he is mass muta player, which a small child can do

[leighannegrove]

Idra ggs with over 500 mins and 22 lings otw...

[IAmUh]

That was not rage at all whatsoever on IdrA's part. TLO did major economic damage to IdrA's natural. IdrA then knowing he was so far behind do to TLO's extremely fast expand tried to counter with an all in, it failed and that was the end of the game and he GG's, playing any longer would've just been stupid.

No Rage...

[morradi10000]

this is my favourite SC2 match to date. Brilliant play by TLO an even better commentary by Diggity. Thank you for uploading this

[MrHav1k]

WTF? WTF just happened? Why did Idra GG so soon? What a bad kid. 

[clydesdaleHUSTLA]

fucking hell you talk fast

[whatsabloopie]

Ragerrrrr idra! What a noobtube

[B0st0nBru1ns]

Wow rage..

[nateyj11]

Is it just me or does Idra give up at the drop of a hat?

[arb5182]

idra expands, idras still in the game.

[uselessmarial]

talk faster bro. heard it helps...no srsly..lay off the crackpipe ya spazz

[spinh3ad]

Of all the MLG-Dallas matches I've watched cast by different people, your commentating has been the best so far. No hesitation (uhhh, ummm, like, etc), but well articulated, and you actually understand what the players are doing better than a lot of the commentators. Keep up the good work!

[S1lv3rblad3]

How can you say this was briliiant or well-played by TLO? Moving your SCVs near a bunker to block an attack is the master strat? Idra left in nerd-raging disbelief at how strong auto-repair is, not because he was astounded by TLO's master skills.

[ig33ve]

@S1lv3rblad3 i think the brilliant play was reffering to his 14 cc > ebay blocking the nat > seeing that idra was droning hard > going 3 fact hellions > killing off all drones at the nat > winning...

what WASNT brilliant about that?

[omuploii]

@S1lv3rblad3 keep crying noob!

[98smithg]

@S1lv3rblad3 angry angry zergys cant get their mutalisks angry angry zergys gonna loose the game.

[CuPants]

@98smithg Is that some weird nursery rhyme made up or what? And mutalisks suck btw.

[ashleythwaites1989]

@S1lv3rblad3 Where was the rage from IdrA? Last time I checked typing gg wasn't considered raging...

[tenj00]

@ashleythwaites1989 Idra does not usually rage in tournaments.

[ashleythwaites1989]

@tenj00 I'm well aware of that. I'm asking silverblade where the rage was as he seemed the think that Idra did in this game. Try reading a thread before commenting.

[S1lv3rblad3]

How can you say this was well played or brilliant diggity? Idra left because in disbelief and rage about how strong auto-repair is.

[faisalksa2006]

GG from IDRA @@

the frist and the last GG I think

All Hail TLO

[Polluxtby]

I have been following you on youtube for about 3 years now diggity and I must say that you keep getting better and better. Very good commentaries, they are a pleasure to watch :) Thank you so much for all the work you have put into commentating, I really love all of it :)

[andreasbn]

solid play by tlo!

[ryezizzle]

jesus fuck ur intro was like jsoiefjosiefjalkfjlglargargadg­r

[horange84]

Great job going in with marine/helion mix, but just horrendous micro by TLO, proper target firing not-existing.

And Idra just throws away the game with the haste & ill-thought-of push...

[jepepe01]

Did Idra really say that?

I think I drunk a few too many RedBulls.

I'm having halucinations!

[T0wer69]

RAPE.

[SmurphyAdrian]

what??? idra gg????? omg i can't belive it

[daanootje145415]

diggety is soooo awesome. got to him by x, but he is just awesome. so analysing and yet funny like: aaahhh fire burn death aaaa

[rpammel]

crispy critters

[HaliFins]

I'm sorry, "isn't the friendliest guy"? The fuck is that supposed to mean. Idra has his own personal conflicts with people like we all do. That doesn't make him "unfriendly".

[ProVODs]

@HaliFins I agree, if you watch his interviews and stuff he seems like a perfectly well spoken, nice dude

[m83ikael]

hehe nice commentary , thumbs up!

Oh my gosh! Engineering bay at the natural! T L O ! :-))

[DravenNGRP]

What kind of fucking idiot thumbs-ups the spoilers

[HaliFins]

@DravenNGRP

What fucking idiot watches them before the vid is done? I know, it's annoying, but people need to learn their lesson if they still scroll down.

[DravenNGRP]

@HaliFins Sorry dude, unlike some people I don't watch videos on a piece of fucking cardboard, lol.

My computer can sustain higher than 640x480 res, so the tops comments as well as 3 normal comments automatically show up with the video.

[DravenNGRP]

@HaliFins And despite your ignorance to desktop resolutions or simply how people prefer to watch their videos, I have to agree with you about his comment on Idra.

People that whine about his occasional BM need to go watch a halo or black ops or CS:S tournament, those kids screaming at each other make IdrA seem mild.

[HaliFins]

@DravenNGRP

Anyone who is an adept follower of the pros and active in the sc2 community will know that pretty much all the players have some dirt on them like bm here and there, cheesing, talking shit or saying stupid stuff. Idra is just the only one who gets so much shit for it. He has grown into a role, and people love to pin shit on him. Still, he's one of the best in the world, and is amazing in interviews, willing to talk to every single amateur with a camera for over 10 mins straight.

[DravenNGRP]

@HaliFins And people that actually watch his interviews or the "Imbalanced" series, or just look at his meticulous style of play (Highlighted in one of the Day9 Dailys) will see that he's surprisingly level-headed and not a horrible guy, I know everyone gets frustrated when they lose to anyone they have blatantly outclassed because of a mis-click or missed opportunity, and yet he's the only one that gets heat for it.

The bias he receives is only what the community has given him.

[AtomSC]

@DravenNGRP I usually read comments after watching video.

[nethitters]

@DravenNGRP I do. :)

[klboi3]

This is the first game.. there isn't 2nd or 3rd game. Idra forfeited the 2nd game so it was 2-0.

[ProVODs]

@klboi3 really?? why??

[kukularz]

Wow TLO played that like a genius.

[yvaes]

wow, a GG, and for good reason too.

[MrIDirtyPenguin]

If anyone is wondering why Idra GG'd so quickly in this game, he explains it in some interviews after the matches against TLO, and in the most recent State of the Game podcast.

[CaptainNinjaWheelie]

Wow, Idra vs. TLO, had my hopes up. Only to see a boring short ass game. Push, failed counter, GG. If this was anyone but Idra and TLO it would have hardly have been worth watching.

[LesPhoques1]

@CaptainNinjaWheelie You are probably low ranked player to fully understand TLO's genius in this game >.<

[CaptainNinjaWheelie]

@LesPhoques1 I understand his genius, it was still a boring short ass game. I see TLO and I get my hopes for creative mid/late games, same with Idra minus the creative. Was it well played, yes. Its just boring to see an epic matchup end so quickly no matter how good his opener was.

[sawsee28]

good castng...subbed

[Chronuswing]

shit dude, love your casting, subbed.

[roystenvasey]

How many Es do you drop before you do those introductions, Diggity?

[lilchinboi]

Tlo is trying to invent a supwr fast command center build. Thats all i see him do recently

[82Hedegaard]

great cast ty! 

[d5p]

Wellplayed(dot)org is NOT affiliated with r/starcraft.

[NintendoFan27]

"gg from idra"

o... m... g...

[wilpich]

wow no rage?

even if i was idra i would rage soo hard maybe he have respect to tlo

[grimwatcher]

I hate to admit it, but I love hating IdrA

[dzhangg]

Brilliant commentating, diggity. Very clear and very exciting.

Thanks so much!

[nukehalt]

it was game one in game 2 tlo bunkerrushed took out an ovi but the idra lagged out but he gave the win to tlo

because of the dc there is no replay

thumbs up

[ayrus888]

shortest game ever :P

[maggot1234]

ill never understand why players attack a bunker that is being repaired by milion svc's instead of doing something else

[larsls]

Great game, and great casting! You really were on top of everything that was going on Diggity.

[imperilolololololol]

I remember when TLO was going to switch back to zerg when idra was raping in the tournaments. Guess he noticed that zerg was not op and the only reason idra was winning was becuse he was way better then all the facerolling terrans and so TLO switched back to easy mode.

[DMiBY]

@imperilolololololol I thought that TLO was random...? I know that he was Terran then switched to Zerg then Random then Terran then random... or something like that. :P

[TerjeSC]

@DMiBY He played terran in both this MLG and his match against Nada in TSL afaik.

[imperilolololololol]

I remember when TLO was going to switch back to zerg when idra was raping in the tournaments. Guess he noticed that zerg was not op and the only reason idra was winning was becuse he was way better then all the facerolling terrans and to TLO switched back to easy mode.

[Wadde100]

why gg so early, he could still do a comback

[pielava12]

why did he gg

[skullevo]

great wall

[XGamezOnlyX]

IdrA would have if his units would attack the svcs on default.

[cowboyw54]

Very smart. Open Hellion, forces Zerg to Roach, produce Thor and crush Roach..

[SheepFreak2]

wow, first gg is saw from idra

[itsnotjustme]

They're kinda like polar opposites, TLO and Idra. TLO with the extremely wacky timing builds and Idra with the standard macro zerg

[younis128]

OMG!

IDRA DIDN'T GET PISSED!

[sc2gg4ever]

he was ahead in supply when he left ;)

[gregie156]

idra is such a jerk. i glad tlo showed him what's what.

[zan25051]

Lol. Flat zerglings. 2D zerglings!

[coldfusion66]

Awesome commentary great work dude I really enjoyed it! :)

[hamster4sale]

Sure Idra was WAY behind, but a little early for gg no?

[Fa1nTy]

@hamster4sale no. TLO was making thors off 3 factories off 2 base against a lower drone zerg. Nothing would stop his resulting push

[snitchables]

Idra is soooooo good. Even tho he lost this

[Keledrath]

...So TLO counters Idra?

[TheThunderlogan]

I love TLO and IdrA :DD

[Arpy808]

Enjoyed it, thanks Diggity!

[HAggISthe3rd]

i want to see a ffa ace v tlo v idra

[TheMuppet17]

TY TY Diggity for uploading Starcraft II commentaries again! Don't forget what made you famous :P

[flabbikins]

Diggity...you sound like Matt Damon.

[SteveTheBad]

That didn't feel like seven minutes. More like three.

[Heto75]

Idra saying GG? WTF?

[ArmSor]

He never gg'd to cruncher

[judahballa24]

does it not seem like bs when a terran can go straight to a CC and still wipe out the zerg in 7 minutes? not to mention having a 3rd tier unit at the 7 minute mark? god zerg can do only one of those things while terran just did all 3 quite comfortably

[3256austin]

@judahballa24 thx for the spoils thankfully i watch the vids before reading comments

[gamekidillon12]

@3256austin In the comments everyone discusses the video. If you don't like that there may be spoilers, don't read the comments before you finish the video, like you did.

[YtterbiJum]

"forward slash"

Made my day :)

[Vuistt]

Moar MLG Dallas!

[xXxERICxXx8]

should of seen it mang

[TheSpartanlaw]

tlo is good but terran expo's should not be able to fly in it really isnt fair they have so many more options and chances for more creative builds :( atleast make zerg buildings burrow-able after research

[gamekidillon12]

@TheSpartanlaw It is fair. Because Zerg can do lots that Terran can't, being able to lift up buildings is just a perk of Terran.

[TheSpartanlaw]

@gamekidillon12 now that i think of it that way i agree with you, but it should atleast be slower since its a fucking building in the air. lol

i guess idra was just playing off that game/TLO is the best player in the planet haha

[NotAG4yName]

and Idra game thats only 7 minutes...must mean idra won with an all in :P

[p3owned]

Spoiler:

Any game that idra is in less then 10 minutes = usually a loss

[PeterSimpkins]

Spoilers: Protoss lose

[77yggorf]

The sad thing is if you pass out from oxygen deprivation we probably won't get to see that uploaded :)

[mcoyle1986]

This was Idra vs. TLO Game 1, TLO 2-0'd IdrA with a bunker / proxy rax rush with some lag in the 2nd game... There was some lag and IdrA only had 5 drones after defending the rush. IdrA ended up GGing and leaving instead of waiting out the lag.

[JohnixHD]

Get some ROOTDestiny casted.

[3GreteL3]

TLO is probably the only Terran that Idra will ever say gg to.

[eFFeXFx]

@3GreteL3 the only reason Idra gg'ed was because it was a live tournament. Herp derp. Tlo sucks

[Vuistt]

@eFFeXFx Bullshit, he bm'd Huk in the same live tournament, np4idra

[6MetaL6Core6]

@3GreteL3 it was MLG, he gg's at tournaments

[dar482]

@3GreteL3 He respects TLO, as well as Select. I bet he also respects MVP and MarineKing.

[mistahjion]

@dar482 he doesn't respect MKP, he voiced his opinion in one of the interviews on Artosis' channel

[mistahjion]

@3GreteL3 IdrA GGs during tournaments now, if he deemed it a good game that is lol. But he's been GGing in the GSL.

[d4vidD3llaR0cc0]

@3GreteL3 thanks for spoiling the video

[filten1]

@3GreteL3 Nice way to spoil the outcome >:[

[Jeffrey3527]

@3GreteL3 Because TLO is pretty damn creative and knows how to manipulate the builds. He makes an Orbital and closes off the entrance completely, so Idra needs to catch up and build drones only, no time for zerglings or roaches.

TLO goes for a short amount of helions and attack right after Idra tries to kill the SCVs, so idra didn't have enouth defense. Idra then tries to push out but TLO is ahead of him and is already producing thors to counter the roaches.

Just brilliant manipulation.

[Fa1nTy]

@Jeffrey3527 Also, at 5:53, Idra accidentally right clicks all his drones onto an extractor, causing 3 hellion shots to kill around 10-15 of them at once ><

He was essentially forced to all-in from there since TLO had more workers, equal bases, and an army.

[Jeffrey3527]

@Fa1nTy Nice eye, I didn't notice that.

[xlERiiC]

@3GreteL3 OMG EVERYONE STOP VOTING UP SPOILERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nazi8per]

@xlERiiC :'(

[ElKilinodor]

@3GreteL3 He ggs Jinro a lot, too.

[Owompa]

@3GreteL3 Ugh, when you load the video on my computer you can see this top comment. I thought we stopped liking spoiler comments guys....

[1905vargas]

OMG IDRA JUST GG'ED !!!!111ONE

[JordanViewer]

I was on some brood war channel and they called you a sellout.

[Legodude0796]

@JordanViewer link please

[SuperOsnap]

Yay for diggity for posting more

[PixelSlayer247]

Nice!  Also, Yay for Diggity!

[TheSmashnGrab]

gg!?  From Idra!?

[RetroGameFanatic]

good game , good commentary

[GROGOLOG]

i instantly watch any game with idra in it :D i love him

[xujploxjux]

@GROGOLOG You mad? TLO is the intresting one with divesity, Idra just loses. Every game.

[braglion]

@xujploxjux BAD!!!!! BAD!!!!!!! no flame

[GROGOLOG]

@xujploxjux how was that a ragy comment? im confused lol :P i just love idras play style

[sportingrocks]

@xujploxjux I don't think you actually know who Idra is. He is quite an amazing player. The reason why you say he only loses is most likely because he does not release any replays, and most of the games that get out are his defeats, whích everyone has. If you want to judge his play you should take a look at his stream or even at the past GSL's. He is one of the best players in the world no doubt!

[Tinypig13]

@xujploxjux You dont know what your talking about, they are both amazing players.

[MedicalHippie]

@GROGOLOG You love the worst-mannered, most overrated, biggest troll in SC2?

[MrBuDDeeGuY]

@MedicalHippie You're right, he does have terrible manners, but IdrA a monster player. His rage, while uncalled for at times, isn't baseless.

[Randelf]

@MedicalHippie

He's not a troll, he just is honest and doesn't hold back with his opinions, a troll is just someone who says things just to get people to respond negatively.

[GROGOLOG]

@MedicalHippie i just love him lol, partly because he was the first good zerg player i saw and i play zerg

[theblackpawn]

@GROGOLOG I do to but only b/c I love to watch him bm, since he's SC's biggest bitch.

[ElKilinodor]

@theblackpawn He's a damn good player. Give credit where do. I mean i agree, he's a total cunt, but if you play random at all, he's a great place to start if you want to learn Z.

[theblackpawn]

@ElKilinodor I don't argue that he's a great player. He has some of the best zerg openers that many times are planned out down to the single mineral 10-12 min in (ie he literally goes down to 0 - 4 minerals regularly at his exact planned times) but the fact that until TL recently went to Korea he's all that they saw of Americans. Like if I get to ever go to Korea I wouldn't want to be compared to that douche.

[allandidrick]

@GROGOLOG

I instantly watch any game with TLO in it.

I love Idra too though.

[dynamiczombie49]

you rock Diggity!
