IdrA vs. MorroW g2 - StarCraft 2 Commentary (IEM Finals) (#88)

[Bloodfox610]

Morrow is zerg?



[creedfox]

i'm curious as to how the battle could have gone if the marines were focus fired on the mutas.

[shadow3d1]

good the cheesy fag lost

[kocid02]

hmm... theres always that one person who doesnt like idra...

"For valor in combat and display of courage above and beyond the call of duty i hereby commend Private Marine #165422 with the prestigous Medal of Honor. Due to incredible stamina and will, Private Marine shot and killed one zerg overlord. His reward will be substancial and his retirement will be abundant"

[24Reanimation]

uhm.. uhh uhh uhhmm uhhhh uhhhh uhhhhh >.<

[Zidana123]

You mean Grack Fields. Not Greg. :O

[PolygonreVue]

Very well played by the winner - a truly masterful transition, and nice use of Snipe! Excellent broadcast, Joshy - GG :D

[livorion]

What I hate of commentators like AskJoshy is that they are not neutral like one should be... 100% of the stuff they say is like they love Terran and Hate Zerg... as if the race would not be very imba...

[Crazychris902]

WHY the fuck wud he attack him with all his scvs

[playtowin]

@Crazychris902 to block the lings while the reapers and marauders shoot them.

[ShinobiXRevived]

@playtowin

But it was pretty stupid. He knew IdrA had a saturated 2nd base and lair tech he should have expected air and not went for that all in SVC and he wouldve been in a way better situation.

[PJJVuurwerk]

Hi everyone. Great gameplay and commentary.

But i'm planning on buying a

Dell Inspiron 17 with an

i5 dual core processor 2.4 ghz

4gb of ram

and a graphical card of 1gb

Would the game run nicely?

Plz awnser

[phixxwutwut]

@PJJVuurwerk yes

[IAmPhotoBucket]

DON'T LEAVE ME HANGIN CUZ IT'S GO TIME

[nugunderground]

Josh, I really love the way you can just keep going, always talking, always giving information... would you ever consider hosting lower rank matches, to give examples to less skilled players an idea of how to play against people of their own caliber?

[Alexon88]

realy nice games from both! extreme skills, but the all in with 18 workers was obviusly not very smart . but you never know vs zerg how many units he will have or if he has more economy.

[MsSeaKittens]

"This marine can just retire now." I lol'd

[mystery591]

Even though I don't play starcraft at all, I find these commentaries to be entertaining and fun to watch lol

[Alexon88]

@mystery591 watching pros (in every sports) is great to watch if you don't ahte the sports.

[dragoon414]

@ddxdxxdddddddxxddddx LOLOLOLOL faggot

[LT51]

at 9:36 you can see the engineering bay but at 10:06 you said he didn't have one up. Otherwise very good commentary!

[Susanmugen]

Definitely a GG to watch. It's interesting to see two matches of similar builds play out so differently.

[CSBluefingers]

Very nice game and commentary. Always looking for good SC2 commentary

[Onedurrhands]

it's long-i "idra," short-i "idra" would be spelled Iddra or Ydra. Fix pl0x.

[MsSeaKittens]

@Onedurrhands Indeed.

[Suaven95]

i really like how you linked to the next game. you should spread the wisdom to the rest of the youtube commentators

[PolygonreVue]

@Suaven95 Well spoken!

[spidertaker23]

@Suaven95 Agreed!

[HT2791]

i like how you say all the time all the time :)

[Skyshroud]

Zerg is so OP 

[Paggee]

@Skyshroud Either you're a troll or you are extremely confused. Could you elaborate?

[WFaxel]

Why would someone waste so many SCVs like that??

[meccagod]

@WFaxel He was trying to do an all-in attack, thinking he had enough units to get rid of all the mutalisks and still be safe.

[tomroxelf]

@WFaxel He believed he could of ended the game right then.

[MrOringe]

man, you are uploading fast :P

[RyanJW001]

So... Why does a "pro" need to go all in with those SCVs like that? Hell, if it weren't for those OP Reapers, he wouldn't have had a chance against IdrA. Before I get someone complaining about my post and the OP crap, Morrow even said that Reapers are OP, so you can fuck off.

[peffiSC2source]

@RyanJW001 also blizzard said they want to nerf terran a bit when they figured out what makes them stronger. my guess is, that the mules are the problem. they are a mighty macro-boost.

[SumerianScientist1]

People are blowing Terran op way out of proportion. Their only needs to be a few minor changes to balance things out.

[essayreader2009]

Was it just me...or was that Missile Turret at 10:39 not attacking the Mutalisks? o_O

[ZergInfestedChrist]

@essayreader2009 Idra had killed the scv building the turret. When the turret gets to around 97% completion, the unit model is shown as a fully built turret, but it as still yet to be constructed.

[TsuDymphna]

Always good to see a Zerg player crush a Terran. even when it is against all odds. Awesome play against the super obnoxious reaper.

[haloXmaster]

idk why but i just love your intro... aaghhh banelings don't leave me hanging it's go time!!!! plz?

[lowe2009]

Woooooooooooooo YEAH WHERES YOUR GAY KITING UNITS AT NOW TERRAN PLAYER!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO TAKE THAT LOSS!!!!!

[ReplaytheMusic]

Everyone who is arguing about the terran imbalances listen up... MorroW admitted and agreed and the beginning of this tournament that Terrans and OP and that TvZ is imbalanced and favors terran

[fireb0rn]

@ReplaytheMusic

yep... don't hate the player... etc

[ReplaytheMusic]

@fireb0rn yeah Though even if there wasn't an op for terran morrow still would do great he beat TLO

[KaLNFoRc3R]

What a fagot build.I can now see why idra rages so much. These all in scrubs have no place in tourneys.

[barophobia]

@KaLNFoRc3R You have no idea what you're talking. MorroW's build is in no way "all in". Did you not listen to Josh in g1? He stated that MorroW said he likes the build because after the effectiveness of the Reapers has worn off he can transition into MM. Do you even know what all in means???

[KaLNFoRc3R]

@barophobia Did you watch the same game ? How is pulling 18 SCV-s to attack with your main army not ALL IN ? I'm a terran player and i think mass reaper is fagot all in build.

[MsSeaKittens]

@KaLNFoRc3R Idra is extremely susceptible to cheese and MorroW knows that. These are the finals, he's going to do whatever he has to do to win.

[dessan18]

@KaLNFoRc3R eehhhh

[miyaghi22]

oh shi..... EMP BIATCHES... oh wait the're banelings. =(

[marioblan]

y did he emp at 11:23....mis click?

[CitrusHillWrestling]

did anyone else notice that the ling ran up into his bade at 6:54

[Chavtheworld]

Morrow, no amount of Micro will make your Marine shoot further.

Hahahaha

[chak1o1star]

6:47 NINJA ZERGLING!!!

[MrZotZot]

GO IDRA!!!

[Telekenesis123]

Overlords......IN SPAAAACE!

[sinekonata]

the shit you have to pull out of your ass to secure a ZvT win...

the good thing compared to brood war is that marines have 1 less range and the bad thing is that you can't stack mutas :(

[Rotemetoot]

@sinekonata haha indeed its insane...

[Skepnostic]

@Seamonky72

Did you even watch that game? He lost to an all-in mass maurader cheese. White-ra Lost to a similar rush from masq. What's you point? Fact is, Idra's still winning / placing well in more tournaments than any other zerg player, and morrow admitted that TvZ was imbalanced going into this tournament.

[Seamonky72]

@Skepnostic Yea bro, making one of the races most basic units is "cheese."

maybe if idra knew how to fucking scout he wouldnt lose to that.

cheers fanboy :)

[Skepnostic]

@Seamonky72

I didn't say making the most basic unit is cheese, but going all-in where if it doesn't work, you've lost the game is cheese. You just said he was making one of the most basic units in the game, scouting isn't going to tell you anything about an scv rush. Have you even played this game before?

[Seamonky72]

@Skepnostic why not go all in? considering idra likes to play the same macro EVERY GAME, morrow was playing very smart and had perfect timing.

[Skepnostic]

@Seamonky72

I'm not saying he 'Shouldn't' go all in, I'm saying sacrificing all your workers in an attack is cheese because if the attack fails, you're going to lose. Even if you pull back you've lost too much mining time to keep up.

[peymanstd]

@Seamonky72 WHAT ? He did not have a perfect timing. Idra had enough lings and as you seen Idra CRUSHED him because of his stupid move :( I dont like Idra at all but he is not stupid to fall for one type of cheese play.

[Seamonky72]

@peymanstd no no haha, i was talking about game 4, not this one.

this game he obviously was not perfect, because he lost!

[CovertGhostAgent]

I like those ghosts against mutas, they aren't as easily snipable and more mobile than thors, and snipe 3 shots mutas, with micro ghosts kill mutas soo damn fast

[Blaeckchen]

@CovertGhostAgent

oh another good counter for mutas

who would have thought

[GodleyBeast]

Idra is my hero

[marioblan]

@GodleyBeast he's my hero 2 :P

[SlaveExplosion]

Thank god IdrA won. Go IdrA!

[KatZRule91]

They see me rollin',they hatin'... :P

[amazingdany]

go idrage

[allenamenbesetzt]

I wonder why MorroW pulled back with his Marauders, he should've just continue pushing with them and see how much damage he could've done. That would've kept the mutas from Idra busy as well.

[M16A1srawesome]

Askjoshy ftw

[iWearCapeIRL]

gj idra

[WestliFerZul]

thanks joshy for this ive been looking for it

[Darkillusioninc]

Reaper Hopping at 5:18 looks pretty epic. you could play rise of the Valkyrie's to that

[Darkillusioninc]

Reaper Hopping at 5:18 looks epic

[Buretsu]

Terran's IMBA against Zerg, and Reapers are probably the main reason why. Reapers can keep the Zerg in their base trying to deal with the constant harass, at which point Terrans can just Macro up while the Zerg puts all their resources into fighting them off.

[ciarzop]

people need to start rating your videos do they think you do this for fucking nothing!

[RomuloDX]

wp game.

[bwones]

Impressive reaper micro? Microing reapers is as hard as using the cc/nexus/hatch rally point for your workers to mine minerals.. I'm sorry but it doesn't take a lot of effort or I may say it takes none whatsoever. Hell, even placing FF needs some skill, and while we are on it - even psy storms requires some skill. Muta micro in sc1 is impressive, dropship play in sc1 is impressive, reaver/shuttle micro is impressive.. but i cant say the same for sc2 at least not now, prob it will change later..

[iforgotaboutit]

@bwones I remember the good old days when mutas were able to kill turrets no problem.

Or when people cried when you did lurker drops. (This one is no skill required, but funny as hell.)

[cowboyw54]

Such creative play from Morrow. 

[pilatech]

@cowboyw54

Sarcasm FTW



[SlaveExplosion]

@cowboyw54 Haha yup xD

[AkimboLizard]

I hate idra, no sportsmanship

[SlaveExplosion]

@AkimboLizard If you're gonna say that, say it on a video where he actually rages..

[Seamonky72]

if idra was that good, he wouldnt get spanked so much and rage so much.

[RomuloDX]

@Seamonky72 If he is that bad, i wonder why he is considered the best zerg player in sc2.

[Seamonky72]

@RomuloDX He routinely gets spanked and then cries like a 7 year old.

his most often used excuse is that of terran imbalance.

he is more known for his rage than his skill.

[RomuloDX]

@Seamonky72 True, but he still is better than any of us. And fact is, many top terran players have already said: tvz is kind of imba. just saying, play skill and good manners are not the same thing.

[UlyssesSKrunk]

@Seamonky72 That's because his rage actually exists.....

[Seamonky72]

lol nice

[Skepnostic]

@Seamonky72

Idra has an 87% winrate on the NA ladder, he won the king of the beta tournament, and he made it to the finals in this tournament. He's probably the best zerg in the world. He doesn't routinely get spanked, people just cast his losses because they're entertaining.

[Skepnostic]

@Seamonky72

I'd also point out that in an interview morrow said TvZ was imbalanced so... Yeah.

[SVMrBlueSky]

Idra is the one who shows that zerg can handle with terran imba.

[SVMrBlueSky]

Idra is actually so good, that he should be called Idralisk!

[ArKaiN123]

@SVMrBlueSky OMG I bet that's the first time someone pointed out that this zerg player has "hydra", like the unit hydralisk, in his VERY NAME! OMG LOLOLO

[Suicideman0]

Nice job josh. keep it up!

[InfernalDaimen]

I hate being one of the first....the quality is always low from the video not being done uploaded.

[TheXBLVirus]

Epic, I love your videos!!
