IEM - EG.IdrA v Squirtle Game 5 Starcraft 2

[colorofwaterman]

WHAT ABOUT WARTORTLE?

[30poundburrito]

the original starcraft soundtrack is better. just listen to the song for proof.

[electronicrya]

Void ray harassing supply and denying 3rd coupled with early expo build leaving Idra "behind". Forced to engage before critical colossus numbers with no Corruptors in play, standard force fields forcing a win.

[cl0wnTube]

You can't say idra ragequit he mannerly said gg after every game and nothing pre-emptive.

[44chappo]

*pokemon battle music plays*

A wild squirtle has appeared

Idra uses roach hydra

Squirtle uses thermal lance

Idra has rage quit the game

[akec4242]

haven't seen the answer here yet so ill go. Idra played boxer on ladder. Koreans have trouble with the English "g" sound. Boxer says "hi grack" Idra says "hi. its greg" and from that Idra has been called anything that rhymes with "grack" mainly, "The Gracken!" (wearing his leather gracket)

[hallo4ever]

love the music in the end from SC broodwar. Let the good times roll

[LiquidHxC]

@everyone its not a spin off of anything.....in a ladder game idra vsd slayers boxer and he said hi grack instead of greg cause of the korean accent ...then ppl started making many names. eg. the gracken, paranormal gractivity, leather gracket etc....

[Pellaeon159]

Maybe its Gherkin Idra... Release the Gherkin!

[JonnyBGoode64]

i looked up gracken in the dictionary and could find out what it is... anyone know?

[krnboi99]

@JonnyBGoode64 Greg Fields = EG.IdrA aka "The Graken" it's a spin off of the "Kraken" and IdrA's first name Greg. combine the two and you get Kraken + Greg = Graken

[cherwav]

whaa? do sentry range increase when they shoot their beams together? i don't think they do, but it seems like it at 7:50

[LordDragons300]

@cherwav its cause the rocks are weirdly positioned that it looks that way =p

[akec4242]

@cherwav and the zealots are hitting the air. the rock graphic was messed up.

[Doncroft1]

Love the epic Brood War music at the end. I miss it more than I realized.

[MrHokieboy]

what map is this

[SonyWilliam]

awesome job man thanks!

[viper19861986]

I like each game in its own video.

I rather have all in 1 but having 2 in 1 then 1 in 1 then 4 in 1 just gets annoying,

1 for 1 or all for 1 only please

[raferezz]

Idra on Ace and Squirtle:

youtube.com/watch?v=bLYIYVwG-o­c

So right, and oh so wrong.

[viper19861986]

WTF @6:39???

Watch the production tab, the zergs creep tumor has 999apm.....

[honzakat]

Why don't you wanna be on equal bases with zerg?

[kkskeshava]

@honzakat because, zerg is a swarming race, their units in mass are weaker than other races in mass. so u always want to have more units and therefore bases as other races... also u might find u r always low on larvea... if u do, it means u are playing zerg better than if u always have excess larvea

[thethomaschiu]

Squirtle>Wartortle>Blastoise

[zuriman86]

terrible youtube lagg.. pausing and buffering every couple of minutes on a 2mb connection?? zz terrible

[Koi5150]

sc1 soundtrack is f'ing beast!

[tronnomlolz]

Grekan ?

[hamster4sale]

Love the casts on the whole series. Would love to see some of the extra language you pile into every sentence toned down, "ladies and gentlemen" especially, but I seem to be the only one bitching about that. Keep up the good work.

[gg2000gg2000]

what?? no rage quit? idra must be smoking some serious stuff

[inZaNeSc2]

@gg2000gg2000 ...because it's in a tournament. -.-

[cloudx4541]

@gg2000gg2000 He usually only complains on ladder matches if he is cheesed. Not if he is beat straight up in a tourney.

[SoulPunisher666]

@11:03 you missed idras 3rd expo either being destroyed or cancelled because of that void ray

[HeiligZorn]

?Little song in the end is pretty useless.

[TJDrock]

@HeiligZorn Its to prevent any spoilers. The song adds a little time to the video which makes us the viewers believe that the game will be longer. Alot of the time mid game engagements dont matter cause you know the game won't end.

[Cohemotgus]

@HeiligZorn did play sc1? if you did, you would never have uttered those words

[HeiligZorn]

@Cohemotgus It seems that the things here are assuming the level of a cult.

[Runehorn]

yay music!!!!!!!!!

[ShadowSerpent000]

So Ahnaris, I see you enjoy the SC1 score as well.

I say, like Tracy W. Bush on Facebook. He wrote most of it, and his page only has 19 likes =\

[rockdrummer86]

i miss that music...time to go play some sc1 :D

[just3half3evil3]

Great games !!!!

Brilliant casts !!!!

Awesome anti spoilers !!!

[detaer]

I always think its a good idea to knock off my rocks.

[SamVanDam]

Throughout the series it kept sounding like he was calling Idra "The Graken". Surely he must have meant "Kraken".

[AhnarisStarcraft]

@SamVanDam Look it up, I'm definitely saying "Gracken" =)

[SamVanDam]

@AhnarisStarcraft Interesting, I hadn't even heard of that. I apologize for assuming you misspoke. In my defense, the Kraken is ALSO a mythical sea beast.

[Zslone2]

@SamVanDam Obviously You don't watch the GSL or Pro games much. Boxer named Idra the Gracken.

[Potts132]

@Zslone2 BoxR have him that name?

[GSR201]

@AhnarisStarcraft Why is idra "the gracken?"

[TheCariseface]

@GSR201 Idra's name is Greg Fields. so they replaced K in Kraken with G for Graken and his leather Gracket.

[EBF999]

@GSR201 Asian commentators commonly miss pronounce his name greg and say graken. it has stuck so people nicknamed him the gracken.

[TBLTimelog]

@AhnarisStarcraft Gracken and Kraken is the same thing:)

[mitchhopson]

@SamVanDam Idra's real name is Greg. So thats why he's calling him Graken.

[notitots]

@SamVanDam boxer ladder match with idra

[pelyphin0]

You can definitely hear bits of the song at the end in the SC2 music. Cool.

[aarsengel]

Nice to not spoil the lenght of the final game! Really like it...

[moonshiry]

ohh love the nostalgic starcraft 1 music at the end :)

[CALIFORN1ASUPERSTAR]

aWESOME...i lOVE iT wHEN iDRA lOSES... : )

[paulmagnnum]

I always click like before even watching Ahnaris's videos, because i now that i will enjoy them :D.

[michaelsloanedog]

Guess that was....

Super effective

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[RollingAroundDaWorld]

Nice love the ending, loved the 15 minute game

[TheRadioHeaded]

Love the SC1 music!!

[AGigglingStoner]

Pause google ad with 15 sec. left. CHUCK NORRIS!

[MrRandalFlagg]

Hearing SC1 music made my day. :)

Well, night.

[JVkolop]

voids suck i hate them... if all you do is mass voids ur a bronze noob

[EscapeNoob]

@JVkolop actually, it takes either skill to even get enough void rays, or your opponant sucks so much to let you mass it up.Just the way i think of massing void rays

[TheGaming3volution]

I really like that Squirtle uses lots of Void Rays. They are so underrated and underused :(

[sauromon222]

@TheGaming3volution

if void rays are underused, then north america is better than korea at starcraft.

[AlreadyBarcoded]

Love the multi-game casts man.. keep that goin!

[MrNoClip]

Squirtle's having a bubble.

[mcspikesky]

I LOVE this format. I don't love the music to bulk up the time. I do like the tune though :)

[animaREV]

WOW NO DISLIKES!

[dragolanus]

You wanna have an even better time with this video? Activate "Transcribe Audio". Hilarious stuff will be shown on screen.

[ProjectKBI]

@dragolanus OMFGG -rofl- thats beyond hillarious. its alot better than it used to be 2 years ago. but still. just... epic ammounts of lol abt that :P thanks for pointing that out

[Warikz1234]

@dragolanus "pressed on killed us queens and took a number two." Hilarious, but strangely appropriate.

[knightofthesoul]

anyone know a good FPS on a web browser? I tired of just waiting for Ahnaris to upload. Need something to do while I wait :P

[Will762]

@knightofthesoul Quake Live...obviously! :)

[ltsjack]

@the2shady He does in zvt not in zvp

[SenseiDonGraham]

Why did Idra engage that, horrible position, and zero corrupters? Did he not have any options left?

[mitko1251]

Bad days for IdrA, he lost to AcE, now to Squirtle...

[ChRiSiMoN]

WOOO!! IdrA is a slowbro

[sadohenker]

@the2shady

Mutas against a stalker/sentry/phoenix army is suicide.

[Tyfyh]

...but why?

[MPSecare]

ah here it is!.

fucking thing was like click on game 5, and i did, and nothing happened!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

xD

[harlockmbb]

Chupa, Zerg!

[fenrirbr]

@harlockmbb ele chupou bem chupado =)

[mrheadagainstwall]

i just loved the brood war music <3

[BulgarianBoy92]

7:48 - a pylon zapping/shooting flipped rocks LOL

[ilikemitchhedberg]

wow that old school brood-war terran music really takes me back man. READY TO ROLL OUT!

[JustAnotherMetalhead]

@ilikemitchhedberg God i rly want it back

[ClovisMcPaul]

Ah good ol' Brood War music :)

[bwehbla]

sc1 music!!!!!

[tehKnightleaf]

Ahnaris, after you've finished your daily Starcraftness, i think for your own sake, you need to watch pokemon, and even get a pokemon game :)

[kann1alles]

i was thinking to get some hydras because of the short rush distance and the obvious AIR harassment , but also too long rush distance for ground units ??

why his first attack failed

BUT that would be allready on the defensive side , also

mutalisk aint that great against phoenix / cost much ( prevent other expansions /

tech trees because of the cost ) ..

? does any one has an idea what iDra could do better in this game

? is it better to keep first rush a little bit down as a zerg on bigger maps

[wolfmanjacksaid]

it was "pretty lulzy to entertain the thought". I wholeheartedly agree.

[jgordon707]

omg I miss that music soooo much.

[S0VlET]

do drones move faster on creep? if so wouldn't that mean zerg get a slight economic advantage from the start of the game?

[RandomStatistics]

@S0VlET No, drones are not affected by creep.

[valiotov]

Ahnaris, you are great!

But can you please stop saying all the time "A good bit"? It's really getting annoying after time. :)

[kavewolf]

that was odd o.o idra does the most random things

[CAPOREGIMEMANRIQUEZ]

I like the information added in the begining

[AtakanNW]

Brood War Terran FOREVER !

Salute !

]:)

[Sookieelicious]

@AtakanNW ]:) <----- Monobrow

hehe :D

[minhboi2]

omg...music is so nostalgic T~T

[mindeless]

I really like your casting style Ahnaris - and casting entire series'.

Please continue to load series matches, it makes it quite an adventure to watch :)

Thanks for the casting !

[rahrahrahrahrahrahra]

I really like the music in Starcraft 2 and everything, but I think you should be able to listen to Brood War music too. The song at the end really brought memories back.

[skinnymonk]

LOVE the original starcraft music @ the end!

[marcfe]

I'll be honest and say I did not expect that ending

[TheCorianderElephant]

i'm getting a little tired of IdrA's gg bullshit... wheres the rage we know and love??

[firemanr]

does squirtle happen to know pikachu

[517darkangel]

IdrA shouldn't have said he was confident in beating Squirtle in his interview - It looks so much worse if you lose after saying that, and it probably gave Squirtle fuel to beat him.

[4videovideo]

Dude you should end every series like this.

[ProphecyRJ]

I feel that idra should of waited for his spire to finish, and not break down his rocks, he could of hanged in there.

[desertx24]

What's the name of the song in credits?

[tomtombilodeau]

did anyone else notice that at 8:10 there are 3 idle SCV, that terran player needs to pay more attention

[Cascademenace]

Liked the series and the way the games were presented in packs.

[notsomuch211]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

[AlexHertzog]

Man, there SHOULD be a hi-quality version of that song! >.>

It's just too much awesome

[vlnplyr5]

Great cast Ahnaris - thanks for the part at the end - I like the anti-spoiler and trickery used to make it seem like the game is longer, or the series is played out... really makes it more exciting to watch even though it takes you more time to produce. Cheers from Texas!

[kunstderfugue]

that song is the most awesome thing in the whole gaming world

[StarcraftHybrid]

Music from the original starcraft... i have not heard that in a while, it is still awesome

[darthclide]

Loved this series, Idra didn't even rage, is this a bad sign? :P lol

[coconopalito]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO... Y IDRA?

[BeforeLifer]

You have cats?

[xgreen55]

Sorry but

"Mudkipz > Squirtle"

[jibjoshjib]

@xgreen55 So I herd you liek mukipz

[non91]
