[Goody908]

[DjFjorgyn]

tlo is such a fuckn german baller with tht planetary fortress lol

[Life4Bl00d]

Idra says GG?! thats something new

[sbalusu94]

@Life4Bl00d it's only new if he says it when he loses.

[APointyCircle]

You should really give credit when you take other peoples videos.

[nosir112]

that day is my birthday xD

[Japanime92]

Idra gg'd O _ O

[darlingsru]

so hat einer bock bisschen zu quatschen ihr werdets warscheinlich nicht bereuen

[imdvids]

this is why TLO is a zerg now

[xXTjFoDaddYXx]

Fart at 11:04 =D lol

[inSanity753]

@Zanazuah it's Chill, the same guy who commentated "TLOwnage". He's a baller by the way.

[Grabsalmon]

@Zanazuah dunno, but he's definatly a canadian. Listen to that 'out' :P

[fuzzypanda36]

meh old game

[Wissmania]

biased towards idra much?

[EagleInFlames]

Canadian ftw "out"

[sujumayas]

that planetary fortress... "I sincerely hope that was intentional"

[sujumayas]

that planetary fortress... "I sincerely hope that was intentional" :D

[budrick3]

that was a gg...nice playing by both parties.

[RANDOMXNOTHING0]

yoo these dudes was sucking idra coc whats going on of course losing 2 tanks is worth it when killin a regular expansion even more gold these commentators are idiots well at least for this game

[TheTwoGurus]

"Eye dra"

[bbellai]

Idra like Hydra without the H - Idra

[259]

@bbellai No, it's more like tip. You gotta pronounce it the Japanese way.

[lexelllll]

lol IdrA's composure in that game... rock solid

[KakuKachoO]

sigh you can't be a zerg player without being harassed :/

[RANDOMXNOTHING0]

@KakuKachoO your a lame zerg are the most annoying race you bird  they harras the best you idiot

[KakuKachoO]

@RANDOMXNOTHING0 you don't make sense.....

[dyslecix]

@RANDOMXNOTHING0

Shutup dumbass, learn to speak english, then come type here. stupid ass

[WackoJacko1193]

@dyslecix i think he is using a translation program, lol, cuz there is no way any1 would type such nonsense

[yourrmajesty]

@WackoJacko1193 Its pretty obvious what he means, just take your time and read it.

He's saying the announcers are pretty much all up on Idra's cock, which is true, but Day9 is a zerg player so Idra is kind of a player he looks upto..so its expected. Also he's saying TLO's 2 tank sacrifice was worth an expansion when they made a big deal about it. I kind of agree with the point he makes, Day 9 and the other commentator are both very biased in this game haha.

[WackoJacko1193]

@yourrmajesty okay first of all, day 9 is not a zerg player, he plays random, second, in what way is that pretty obvious? this man makes no sense at all

[ShasOJeffrey]

ITS EYE-DRA. not eh-dra!!! Just something lol.

[Noitard]

@ShasOJeffrey

Actually, it's "Ihdra, like in the beginning of idiot" - Idra himself

[Fanggle]

i will always now refer day9 to the SCRAAAAAAW guy

[Fyahbwoy]

great game!

[rudyk1008]

boring game :(

[dracolobo666]

poor other guy did not get to talk much.

[shaaman92]

rematch TLO can own Idra now anyday

[redfox2020]

love the way idra says gg when he wins, but never when he loses, the virgin prick.

[MariosGuy]

you guys suck compared to husky and HD why couldnt they have casted this..

dont mean to be mean but thats just how it is

[eMichaye]

@MariosGuy Hello HD. You might want to take some pointers from these guys. Your voice is obnoxious, you sound like a n00b whenever you talk strategy and you split videos into tiny bite-sized bits for no good reason. Don't mean to be mean, that's just how it is.

[MariosGuy]

@eMichaye im...not..HD..wtf idiot lol does my name say HDstarcraft anyway one guy sounds like he's 40 and the other guy sounds like he is 15...they are not funny....their laughs are obnoxious. so yeah husky and HD....way better im sure im not alone with this statement. just how it is

[eMichaye]

@MariosGuy Yeah HD, I think you forgot to change accounts. No big deal, just log in again. As for the commentators... look, their laughter may not perk up your nipples, but at least they're talking about the game. They know what's going on and what the players' options are. They don't confuse player names and know what each unit does. In short, they're doing what any good sports commentator does - help the spectators keep up. HD just babbles uncontrollably.

[staraffinity]

@MariosGuy So what's the age to be? ^^

[A6MZeroSmash]

@MariosGuy

Actually, you're far more alone than you think when it comes to thinking Husky and HD are better than Day9.

GO on any reputable SC2 site and you'll realize how overwhelmingly wrong you are.

[callingallHeroes]

Originally i thought this invitational tournament was called attitude, and I was like "how the heck did idra get into this??" but i was like oh.

[qwerty9903]

booya

[qwerty9903]

can't stand Day9.. rambles on wayyy too much and thinks his banter is interesting. blow my dog biatch.

[ShasOJeffrey]

@qwerty9903 Agreed. He might be a good player and pretty famous around the SC2 community, but rly compared to HD or Husky he isnt nearly as good.

[Tevinhead]

@ShasOJeffrey Yeah you're pretty much wrong here. HD and Husky give little to no insight during their casting. Day9 is not only more entertaining but he actually knows what he's talking about. HD and Husky's casting seems to be aimed at the newer players.

[ShasOJeffrey]

@Tevinhead It's a matter of opinion but imo I've learned a crapload from Husky/HD's casting...enof to get me all the way to platinum w/o any prior starcraft experience. And srry, I find Husky far and away more entertaining. Day9 mite kno more stuff (he's more pro) but I still find Husky a goldmine for little tips and tricks as to why players are doing better in the game.

[Tevinhead]

@ShasOJeffrey Just a shame that little 'tips and tricks' are not going to make you a better player. Find Day9's youtube channel and watch his daylies if you want to improve as a player.

[ShasOJeffrey]

@Tevinhead Dude get some manners Day9 is decent and all but I prefer Husky/HD for the entertainment value. And yes, Day9 might be a good commentator when it comes to learning stuff but honestly I learn a crapload from Husky/HD all the time too. And thnx for the suggestions, but I'll do what I want-not some random guy over the internet telling me what to do.

[zyronsc24fun]

what an epic match, no excuses, no cheese, just balls out macro, gg.

[forzaazzurri101]

what the fuck are you saying iddra for?

[ages66]

Day[9] <3

[drumzeppelin]

Blizz needs to stop making terran designed maps....

[ruhtraeel]

Lol this is when you can tell SC2 won't be as competitive as SC1.

1. Activision is trying to squeeze as much money out of Blizzard as possible. Hence the 3 seperate games. Also, because of this, Blizzard couldn't reach an agreement with major Korean leagues and shows like GOM TV. So basically, the most competitive SC2 tourneys will be like semi-iccup.

2. If White-Ra and IdrA do so freakin well, you KNOW there's something wrong. White-Ra vs Flash = ...yeah.

[myztixis]

@ruhtraeel Wrong about GOMTV, read the news on teamliquid

"Earlier today, Blizzard Entertainment's partner GomTV revealed plans for an easily accessible worldwide league called the "Global StarCraft II League" (GSL). GomTV is planning on having monthly tournaments culminating in a main tournament and world championships for both the GSL 2010 and GSL 2011"

[mxchump]

OMFG a Game where Idra wins!!!! :O

[gustavotriqui]

@mxchump he wins like 83% of his games...

[zkevwlu]

Oh, and was the commentator for real when he said he couldn't tell who got the better end of the deal trading 2 siege tanks for a hatch? Was that some kind of bad joke? The tanks roasted 4 drones and a hatchery, that alone almost made the exchange worth while (500 minerals vs 300/250). The siege tanks effectively stopped the mining at a GOLD EXPANSION for 100 seconds, do you have any idea how much that is in terms of minerals and larvae lost? Talk about the lack of high level insight...

[BlitzkriegTactics]

@zkevwlu Are you insulting Day9? Wow. You must be in Bronze.

[DreamtosS]

I signed on just to say, Commentator, dude...IdrA is NOTHING..Giving him the circumstances he is in, he SHOULD be the best non korean player in the world but this kid doesnt have the talent or the brains to compete with solid players and White-ra proves this in the HDH invitational game 5...IdrA was a complete retard, he just plays like a machine but can't think..His transition to zerg from Terran is no good..he has bad habbits from SC and he can't cope with the Zerg gameplay...open your eyes

[APOYS]

@DreamtosS : Plus, he has bad manners. I've seen him insulting his opponent when he loses, and when he loses he often quits without even saying GG.

[Sephlock]

@ 11:10 or so.. he DID try the mutalisk thing... that didn't work well for him, thats why hes doing this instead :D.

[shadowhoundlolz]

Nobody like TLO tbh

[APOYS]

@shadowhoundlolz : I do :)

[fremoq]

@shadowhoundlolz Well this video proves that he has not that good macro :/

[Luigi667087]

game starts 3:09

[Ult1mateT3cc]

@Luigi667087 THX!

[natesrry]

@Luigi667087 ty

[LightoYagasamiSan]

hmmm shouldnt commentators be neutral ? those guys are just sucking idras dick the hole time ... not that professional ...

[addemanns]

@LightoYagasamiSan

Not really, they're just saying "I love his type of play" and stuff like that.

It's day9 man.. just gotta love him ;)

Also commentators are very much allowed to say when a player/team does a good thing.

Also they actually can't be sucking Idra's dick, since he doesn't have one. He is one.

[LightoYagasamiSan]

@addemanns hahaha i totally agree with all you said ^^

[zkevwlu]

@addemanns No, he over-exaggerates things. Any Zerg with even half a brain knows to watch for the high ground abuse on Lost Temple and Kulas Ravine with Spinecrawlers and Overlord sight. He makes it sound like as if IdrA was some kind of god with brilliant game insights that no one else has.

IdrA may be a decent player but does not have the level of skill to justify his obnoxious attitude. This one game he told his opponent to "apologize for playing the Terran race." What a fucking loser...

[gustavotriqui]

@zkevwlu "decent" player? Idra is probably in the top 3 out of Korea. He might not be the most pleasent and good mannered guy, but "decent" does not describe his gameplay.

[fowad27]

@yvald1 it's etiquette to say gg when you lose. He doesn't even have to say gg, he could say 'you win' if he's uncomfortable with saying gg. the least he could do is not ragequit like a whiny child.

[fowad27]

bastard only says gg when he wins.

[M3sslah]

What zerg needs is the defiler kinda unit back to put swarm or other stuff on things, they don't really have a spellcasting unit anymore like protoss Hightemplar or terrans ghost and that is a little sad. But remember there will come 2 expansions for this game and I think we will be happy at the end. I never really liked SC when it first came out it just felt a little empty and then Broodwar came along and it was just perfect, all the things you missed before was there and so it will in SC2 also

[Nukleurfire]

@M3sslah what the hell are infestors then?

[gustavotriqui]

@M3sslah That's a weird comment in this particular replay, since probably what won the battle for IdrA was the clever use of Infestors and Fungal Growth

[mastapimp189]

i hate how this guy says out -.-

[PannaIka]

@mastapimp189 heil

[Purrebark]

iddra

[fizzguy47]

idra doesnt use corruption?

[aznlova87]

dude idra!

just making some god damn hydra

[ehong671]

IDRA RAGEEEEE

[kong0lol]

i hate how you say idra like Lidra without the L its EYEdra

[12hiei21]

@kong0lol no no its how he says it...

its not eye-dra, a commentator asked him personnally about it

[edmondhxu]

idra baneling busting

/watch?v=ZJfkBg0aPZ8

[Partikel1995]

@realchimera you are just too noob to play it

[realchimera]

Terran is a piece of shlt

[dimeen]

@realchimera

[konadora]

very very creative play.

[J0kerofHearts]

who here thinks that TLO is not 1 person, but is actually 3 people sharing a computer and playing depending on what race he draws?

[xL3G3NDxsniper]

@J0kerofHearts hmmm.. thats a good point but you must understand that if TLO is really in team liquid then is impossible that he would be sharing accounts. thats non professional. another thing is that he doesn't need to share accounts hes brother "the big one" hes micro is not that strong . not saying that you are wrong or anything this is just my opinion

[midgetman433]

 i dont understand why people try to outmacro idra.. you cant outmacro a zerg.. he is at his most vulnerable in the early part of the game.. TLO should have tried to contain idra to 2 bases.. ive seen it done against him.. when idra decided to try to get a third base.. he moved out, with marines and seige tanks.. and all idra had was roaches.. and it really was epic!! idra ended up rage quitting.. his opponent kept idra at 2 bases and made him look like a fool..

[J0kerofHearts]

@midgetman433 zerg is very strong in the early game as well because zerg has the strongest tier 1 units.

zerg's weakness is that they have the worst 200/200 army.

[midgetman433]

@J0kerofHearts look at idra's previous replays... he continues to power drone till like his 3rd to 4th base.. he has just enough forces to defend.. the way to beat idra, is to finish him off before his macro kicks in.. no one has evr beaten idra straight up with him being maxed out.. except when he has made a compendious micro blunder..

[samsf90]

@midgetman433 idra vs tester

[J0kerofHearts]

@midgetman433 harassing the zerg works i suppose.

though TvZ is going in the direction of mech nowadays. If you've watched flash vs jaedong in sc1, that is the direction sc2 tvz is going. terran lets zerg have 200/200 army, but zerg can't do enough damage, and terran slowly gains more and more map control.

it's all about broodlords in the end game. if terran can fight off the broodlords, then it's a war of attrition and terrran can slowly own more of the map.

[midgetman433]

maybe if the cruisers could have come earlier.. idra really didnt have anything besides corrupters to deal with battlecruisers.. and with viking support and all those air upgrades, TLO could have done better...

[izitaczaaaa]

idra is f..ng bad manner

[dragoon414]

@IAMDEWYZE LOL

[heroofthe42]

Guys try putting on Transcribe audio. trust me, its funny.

[aimbotjesus]

Pathetic that Idra says gg when he wins but not when he loses.

[Cattlecruiser]

"i-dra", not "id-dra".

[muffinspuffinsEE]

go PLANETEry-TLO :) !

[tuestresfat]

A couple of point defence drones and hunter seekers would've done wonders. nonetheless, gg tlo.

[ZixacunX]

i hope tlo had some ravens to seeker the corrupter

[IriathZhul]

Yay zerg.

[HydroSquirrel]

Bummer, I was really rooting for TLO because IdrA is a damn egotistical single child bad manner player.

[IriathZhul]

@HydroSquirrel Gah! I looked at your comment and saw the ending before I even watched. Curse you!

[linenlines]

good game right here

[AnOriginalConcept]

"Brood lords are so broodal (brutal) to deal with."

Very nice.

[meckerarma]

Cast ruined by guy with shitty microphone.

YOU FUCKING SUCK

[bennybear13]

i dont think that a zerg 200/200 army is underpowered its just much more situational than any T or P army and in the current map pool it is very hard to get a proper surround, the maps are what piss me off they are all very zerg unfriendly (exept scrap station) in the current map pool there are too many ledges for tanks and culossi to abuse

[J0kerofHearts]

2 supply roach is bullshit.

wtf is zerg supposed to get end game.

200/200 zerg army fucking sucks.

all zerg can do is attrition game and throw minerals away. bullshit.

[LoneAidenPryde]

@J0kerofHearts

agreed bro. zerg late game is pointless. ppl say omg make brood lords. they cost insane amounts, and if you dont protect them from cheap vikings, you pretty much lose the game the moment they die

[IIkingdomII]

@LoneAidenPryde ya. I used to be a zerg player because zerg's main advantage is that they can macro up their econ.

then blizzard fucking nerfs the shit out of zerg, so even if a zerg player has infinite money, they still can't win a game at 200/200. first roach regen decrease. then roach cost increase. then roach armor decrease. then roach is 2 supply. ultras fucking suck. broodlords fucking suck.

if zerg doesn't win in mid game, zerg is fucked. i'm switching to terran seriously

[LoneAidenPryde]

@IIkingdomII my friend said that TLO has now chosen a race and switched to terran. he was alwayts amazing with zerg:(

i dont like using toss or terran cause they are too much cheese. walling is the gayest thing in the world. 2 zealots and 2 stalkers and a wall can stop like 40 lings lol. so early game they dont need an army and can just tech up instantly. its retarded. hydras should be beefed so they can be as OP as marauders

[LlamaNamedOsama]

@LoneAidenPryde ...Tech =/= cheese. "Walling is the gayest" - so I'm guessing you're at most a silver league player?

[blacklineSC]

@IIkingdomII First of all I agree, roll terran they are awesome, but I have seen zerg win plenty in the end game. It can be done no prob if you play right and brood lords are almost imba in combination with infesters and a decent ground army

[tofusauce]

@IIkingdomII Sc2 is still developing, blizzard will see this.

[tofusauce]

@J0kerofHearts true. but zerg can do an instant massive counter.

[lucasvandam]

NOOOOOO TLO LOST :(

[xDyonx]

@lucasvandam dont spoiler

[IIkingdomII]

@lucasvandam fuck TLO. what a fucking crap cheesy way of playing. he should have lost. can you imagine if crappy ways of playing like that turns into winning, and everyone ends up playing like that? spectators everywhere can just stab themselves in the eyes.

[LlamaNamedOsama]

@IIkingdomII Rage, much? Hell, TLO's strat in that game was in no way cheesy - you spouting that off makes you seem like a fanboy that just doesn't know what he's talking about. That was a specific build-order that, as both day and chill mentioned, had been frequently used. Interesting =/= cheese.

[thepongofdeath]

why not HQ?

[chatoXvato]

TLO ALL THE WAY!

[45axelh]

why does it say thelittleone is retired?

[topoulo]

The most creative player ( tlo ) vs the most uncreative , the creative one didnt win ... this isnt encouraging now is it .

Granted tlo doesnt practise 12 hours per day and hes not 100% pro yet but still

[WhoDoYouThink100]

@topoulo I would say, the explanation for that is that IdrA is just the better player overall (no offense). More likely, a creative player evenly matched with another uncreative one may win.

[dolpiff]

@topoulo uncreative? try fungal so many vikings, and keeping Blords alive so long with 20 vikings in the field..Idra's play was really nice for the unit comp and the larva army, near end he make 100 population in 10 seconds xD

[oddh]

Love TLO! Great game.

[maxaboshi]

The commentator loves his douchebag IdrA

[WhoDoYouThink100]

@maxaboshi Overconfident to the max :(

[maxaboshi]

@WhoDoYouThink100 He is =/ 

[Xerond]

Great commentary. Entertaining to listen and watch.

[theodrin1]

eh draw

[zerg2251]

Por que no se ve nada?

[KingBerk104]

Remember when TLO was an innovative, fun player to watch? Now he's just a solid Terran who abuses their imbas like everyone else. :(

[subpwnsu]

@KingBerk104 lol come on man, he built planetary fortresses on his high ground! he's still cool :D

[maxaboshi]

@KingBerk104 Lol he's still like that. It's just IdrA is a good player, so he needs to be a little more careful. Stop judging by just one game.

[UnholyOneToo]

the truth is that game starts at 3:09

[TheHugeTurd]

holy fuk that Thor drop is freakin too powerful

[Alrugardson]

How could TLO have won this game ?

[Trackstar800m204]

@Alrugardson

He could have controlled more of his expansions. He was out of economy at the end while IdrA had all the bases, and funding for more and more units.

[RelVleDy]

@Alrugardson I would have harassed Idra in the center a bit as a decoy while sending one Viking in assault mode to hit on the naturals. At the end of the day, Idra is only human, so he can't be juggling all the natural harassment along with a conflict in the center.

[Greeb17]

@RelVleDy but you can?

[PinkertonPro]

Contain and conquer. Idra seemed pretty composed through the whole thing. Beastly.

[Pinworm4]

@S3alTeam6 day 9 and Chill. They say at the start

[ritetopoint]

TLO never say die....but occasionally say gg

[maxflick]

The sound just disappears after watching about 10 seconds...

[frodo8888]

@maxflick

believe me, despite how awesome day9 is, you'd rather not listen to chill's voice

[maxflick]

The sound just disappears after watching about 10 seconds...

[Kindred1a1]

TLO shouldve gotten cloaked ghosts with nukes and went straight for the tech buildings of Idra. Only reasonable way to stop him. Killing a zerg army does nothing since they replenish so fast

[Metalheadpanda]

@Kindred1a1 eh I think Idra would have found out and stopped him. Of course, this might be reasonable because the commentators didn't commentate on him scouting, but knowing Idra, idk.

[Kindred1a1]

@Metalheadpanda

Keep in mind, that wall of turret surrounding his base stopped any drop/possible scouting to be done. So if he hid the tech deep in his base, Idra may not have spotted it on time

[NicholasTam]

@S3alTeam6 One of them is Day[9] for sure, and I think the other one is Gretorp.

[F5xImhotep]

@NicholasTam "The event will be casted from replays by Day[9] and Chill on Saturday, May 29 2:00pm EDT. "

[Odium1002]

lol if TLo had used sensor towers aswell there would´ve been no chance to win for idra at all.. i mean those vikings and turrets would rape those overlords.

[LANDOPERK]

idrAs a little wiener
