HDWT Idra v Socke g1

[TheXDesertfisch]

socke is german... prenounce it like you did and put an "e" like in "tennis" at the end and it would be perfeckt...

[ItsM1ck3y]

Idras a quitter...

[goldcoastboy1991]

hay hd ever heard of a game called conquest frontier wars?

[RottingCorpse100]

Idra installed a automatic gg system on his battlenet so when he ragequits it types gg for him. Thats the best explanation ive got...

[CowHoofOnAHotPlate]

ive never seen idra gg before.

[geeraija]

2:15 Sorry HD, but you don't pronounce it correctly :P.

[derekrichardt]

gl hf

[redalert375]

socke wins

[restf0rm]

@redalert375 haha, nice lie =D

[redalert375]

@restf0rm no lie, socke does win ?

[restf0rm]

@redalert375 no LOL

[kirdiekirdie]

@WingsOfPhilosophy But compare it to Tasteless and Artosis or Day9, they do Starcraft Commentaries with lots of indepth and explanation. HD does this too often, but just in this video in my opinion he tries too much to entertain and not hard enough to informate (if thats a word, i am not an english native speaker :-)).

[GrandChamp1989]

Wow, a GG from Idra.. Amazing.

[glitcher999]

SPOILER COMMENT: why oh why can socke beat idra but lose to dimaga so so so badly? its not like dimaga is better than idra but socke played so badly against him!

[jakubmydlak]

HD! this whole tournament videos are really messed up: maybe you should name every episode match like this:

HDWT

then

[Round 1] or [eliminations] or something else

then

names of players

then

no. of the match

= this one should be like this

HDWT [eliminations match no.4] Idra vs. Socke game 1

[docsein1]

O.o

Idra actually know's where the G button is?

Call the press!

I always just assumed that Idra's alphabet only consisted of 25 characters.

[drgreve]

You still can't say IdrA correctly though

[schwegburt]

Idra gg'd after that? That's practically a marriage proposal considering his general response to that sort of stuff.

[max138meeuwis]

I dont get why irda didnt do a much faster 6 pool rush. He saw the fast nexus (surely he already had predicted that one) and a forge as second. I dont know what you guys experience. but every time I fastexpand, I got countered inmediately and its gg

[tanekki]

Sock-eh, btw. It's german. And its alternative gaming :)

[smokeybobca]

@tanekki You must be German. (Kein Problem. Ich kann Deutsch). In English it'd be more like Zock-uh, if you wanted him to pronounce it the way it would be in German ^^

[plasmathunderdx]

Why doesn't idra use infestors vs pheonix? Just to cling them into place if he tries to escape?

[danee00]

@plasmathunderdx i think he didn't use infestors against phoenixes, because infestors are really slow and phoenixes aren't and with those socke could easily avoid fungal growth

[StaticEuphoria]

@rooksaiz Husky? srsly?

[rooksaiz]

@StaticEuphoria nice catch.

[rooksaiz]

Food + HDstarcraft cast = Temporary Happiness

[StaticEuphoria]

I think that if you added a bit of information in the video descriptions it might be helpful to those following the tournament. Even if it just states where in the ladder bracket it takes place, and a link to the next game. For example, I couldn't find game 1 from the WhiteRa VS Sen series. A link from game 2 back to the first could have been awesome. Regardless, Thank you very much for hosting this tournament and presenting the coverage. I know I'm not the only one who appreciates this!

[CALIFORN1ASUPERSTAR]

HAHA IDRA U SUCK BALLS

[gamervgd]

wow u guys r morons.look at the bracket then search those games duh

[carloscampozano]

don't worry dude, I'll always be and HD fan. I've been watching your replays since you first announced the Beta, so since like 2 years ago.

[noodlesandspam]

is it me or did HD never even bothered to check the top left corner of the map? Man...after watching the gomtv GSL tournament casts by the casting archons and watching day9 and chill and djwheat and even husky cast the tsl; HD really needs to improve his casting as husky or risk losing general fans; I use to watch every replay from HD, now i watch about 25% and visit much less

[Kylexy950]

EGIDRA rearranged spells I RAGED :3

[17arkrage]

aTn = Team Alternate

[itirnitii]

atn = a total noob -- just kidding I love him :)

[jeffgodofbiskuts]

9 mineral patches per base. 2 nexus play for effectively 3 base econ. gg

[Coolcatsarecold]

Woa idra actually gged

[KBrunoF]

12:00 look at Socke's micro with the ground army... perfect choke

He's getting sooooooooo good

[zephyrsimon]

gg? 170/200? I'm really trying to respect this guy, but he's just making it harder all the time. 

[KBrunoF]

@zephyrsimon He is going for BroodLords against Blink Stalkers.... He knows when he lost...

[mamananau]

1:30 I-i-i-i-i

[pollacksify]

its funny how HD mentioned proxy cannon - has anyone ever seen a pro/masters game where they pulled off a proxy cannon? if so link me - i would be very interested in seeing the diff in tactics they use over lower teir players use in 4v4 ;D

[mangledmonkey]

@pollacksify This one just took place last weekend. But proxy cannon isn't the most common in today's pro SC2 scene. Most times it gets stuffed.

TSL3 ro16 match 8 game 3

[mangledmonkey]

@mangledmonkey wouldn't let me post the link, just search that in pooptube

[pollacksify]

@mangledmonkey oh that was sick, not cheese in my head, mon coulda had that game.

thanks for the link.

[leonia97]

@pollacksify HDWT Zelniq v InControl g1 the 1st game of the HDWT

[LiquidEggroll]

Could you make playlists so it's a bit less confusing...

As in I have no idea where we're up to in the tournament...................

First round still?

[chocomaro]

@fredricklou

agree, seems like he's casting the whole tournament exactly like how he would cast his normal replays

[mousetrench]

"Idra is an OVERWHELMING favorite to win this series ... but I'm not going to take any credit away from Socke"

Calling Idra an overwhelming favorite to win is definitely taking credit away from Socke, lol. He's one of the top Euro Protoss. There is definitely no overwhelming favorite in this match even if Idra is better. You can often learn a lot about a player just by quickly browsing their teamliquid profile, which shows he won the JTV Inv #2 (impressive player pool), SK EU Champions, etc

[EntropicPrinciple]

@ml497 Hm I see you are from Austria. This may be one of many differing pronunciations. German is not my mother tongue, but the version I was taught is "Germany German", not Austrian or Swiss.

[ManfernoPryrus]

Is his name I DRA Or ID DRAH?

[luf4rall]

@ManfernoPryrus id drah. the was psystarcraft pronounces it. he met him

[HeIemeri]

"Idra knows that he's up against some combination of Protoss units"

Wow. Really? In a PvZ?

[rudyk1008]

I just came back to Starcraft 2 after 6 months, looking for someone to practice in 1v1, I'm more of a macroing player, and I'm a protoss. my character name is :RudyK, 710

[kainano148]

you shoulda played you are a good player HD =D

[wickedlite100]

I got into cast by HD and i tried other people and i can safely say HD is the best to cast

[oxygenownz]

OP forcefields yet again :/

[richardrdenisii]

AND IDRA IS GOING TO SCOUT THAT OUT! AND IDRA IS GOING TO SCOUT THAT OUT!

[THeRealTroy07]

Idra = the shit, but thats just, you know, my opinion man.

[AlduinWorldEater]

Lol

"IDRA IS GOING TO SPOT THAT OUT

oh sorry I klicked a button

IDRA IS GOING TO SPOT THAT OUT"

[AlduinWorldEater]

HD when you say Socke you have to say the e at the end ^^

It means sock btw lol

[BlackWorth]

@AlduinWorldEater The owner of the name said the 'e' isn't there. That is all.

[AlduinWorldEater]

@BlackWorth Well HD wasn't sure because it's been some time and im from germany so I think you have to speak the e doesn't really matter though

[BlackWorth]

@AlduinWorldEater yeah guess so

[TheTomtah]

Overwhelming favorite to win the series? LOL.

[nexusgraphix]

Socke is pronounced ['zɔkə]. It's german and means sock (singular).

[nageljeuk]

@nexusgraphix You got that from liquipedia don't you?

I actually wrote that passage myself. =)

[nexusgraphix]

@nageljeuk I know how to pronounce it, 'cause I'm german...

[billadama]

I don't think this tourney will ever live up to the intro HD

[JynxyTheLynxy]

red bull

[1337SkinneR]

aTn = ALTERNATE attax , one of the best, if not the best german gaming clan isnt it?

[TicTacToastbrot]

what is the name of the music in the beginning?

[snowblind1985]

@TicTacToastbrot its called "hawkins pa pa seafood"

[TicTacToastbrot]

@snowblind1985 mh, where can I found it? on youtube are only seafood docus TT

[icecoldkorova]

grack.

[Cruzer9117]

hey hd little constructive critisism multiple pheonix are just called pheonix not pheonixes or pheonixi

[nageljeuk]

@Cruzer9117 They are actually called phoenices.

Phoenixi is pleudo-latin. Phoenix is like Matrix/Matrices, Dominatrix/Dominatrices et cetera.

[IntegratedDerivative]

HD's commentaries are pretty good when you are high.

[backspin23]

Idra thinks it stands for Good God...

[130starfish]

HD I have a request. I'm trying to follow your tourneys from start to finish, level by level. but you keep posting them randomly so i don't know who is progressing and who isn't. Is there a way to make the levels clearer ? cause its hard to follow who is moving up to the next level.

[carloscampozano]

@130starfish Yeah it is pretty confusing. If you go to the channel there is a list of his videos. That should make it a little easier to see the order.

[StL33T]

WHAO idra GG'd

[forzaazzurri101]

can't you make your overlay smaller? jesus

[delorber]

LOOOOOL PROTOSS



[Fedosification]

He is trying to pronounce Socke correctly, but not Idra, not for the 50th time. lol

[tropicalthunder232]

can i download new maps other then the ones given in the installation.....example this map or any others from mlg......

[maheeinfy13]

HD man!! u make watching starcraft replays very interesting..

[aznphil88]

another PVT on the same map :P? o well aleast this is no terran

[MrRyng]

its the same matchup as NASL!!!!

[Deadenfull]

F10 n

[RuNNeRDarkangel]

what music is playing on intro?

[netblizzard]

has idra ever cheesed if so let me know which vid.

love idra hydra play

[666Seryan]

@netblizzard I've only seen him cheese once and afterwards he said something like "Now I understand why people cheese, it takes so much less skill then a good macro game" lol. It was still back in Idra's BM days and a long time ago, perhaps late in beta somewhere, can't remember who he played nor who casted it, though Im pretty sure it was either HD or Husky.

Idra could use a little cheese every once in a while to keep his opponent on guard, but I guess it just doesn't fit in with his ideology.

[zeOllie]

@netblizzard there was a game where he drone rushed against allaboutyou, its on youtube search it up. Pretty hilarious.

[BlatterArteries]

@netblizzard i watched his livestream a while ago and he rage quit from a protoss walling him off with pylons then 6 pooled next game without scouting on shakerous plateau

[ATFHollywood]

if not mistaken aTn = team alternate...im sure there are 100 comments of this sort, by why not make sure you catch it :D

[m0n3y1992]

hate how he commentaries.

[flutieflakes]

@m0n3y1992

Then go watch something else and piss off.

[m0n3y1992]

@flutieflakes u arent ready to judge me kid

[flutieflakes]

@m0n3y1992 Lol, who's judging you? I'm just telling you to piss off if you don't like his commentaries. Now why don't you go grab a dictionary and realize how those pesky big words, such as "judge" are correctly used. Now get bent. <3

[m0n3y1992]

@flutieflakes lol idiot

[flutieflakes]

@m0n3y1992

Riveting rebuttal. I'm impressed.

[timothyjesus]

put races on the tile . Plz

[sor3999]

Socke's very good. He did not stubbornly try to make colossus (like some protoss). No hydras, no need for colossus. Got immortals instead good reaction by Socke. Also Idra's name is pronounced Id-ra not Eye-dra. Blame Artosis for that. :P

[DromorOnline]

HD: ''Idri...uh...EG" :D :P

[Startrance666]

Poor Poor Idra, haha....

[KarineLord797]

substitute YOU with MYPRIZE then hit the return key

[userasdf]

still dont know how useful infestors are vs protoss.

[spockomatic]

atn stands for alternate (pc trading)

[eldiagrama]

13:21 can somebody repeat that?!!

[Kampi86]

so funny, socke is the exboyfriend of my ex-roomate ;) she said: "Yeah, so annoying, he always played this game. He didn't have any time..." -_-

Goooo, nerds!

[chunlin05]

amazing game!! Socke well played!!!

[opethggah]

Is it me, or can you tell who wins by the music playing in the background?

[vibonacci]

since when are voidrays good vs corrupters? 7:10

[doxvr]

@vibonacci he said the corrupters will be able to deal wif the vr n phonix very easily

[iPandaStarcraft]

Wow. Idra got his G key on his keyboard fixed. Lol

[fandanstan]

@iPandaStarcraft LOL nice

[eman5311]

@iPandaStarcraft his manners have greatly improved since joining EG

[SomeIncredibleDude]

@iPandaStarcraft Thanks for spoilers.

[iPandaStarcraft]

@SomeIncredibleDude Lol. How is that a spoiler?

[steve9007]

suckbass

[garrrrrry]

2 weeks and still in the first round....

[Bantumboy]

@garrrrrry im w/ ya there...

[jmslocum16]

@garrrrrry same could be said of tsl, that takes 2 weeks/round...

[sonictail301]

13:23 HD's tongue is just confused and makes some neat noises.

[Losanti]

Love that HD is proud to pronounce Socke right but doesn't prononce Idra right =)

(The "I" is the same as in "in" "is" and "listen")

[DemonCow5761]

lol rage from all the protoss n terran just cuz hd likes idra

[danman2125]

So many idiots spamming "Wow Idra GG'd!" in every single video that he's in.

It's just funny now.

[Schetti1993]

you don't know that atn stands for Alternate? :o

[woody12i2]

"a favorite to win this tournament " is said a lot in this video haha

[bliss0512]

Yes IdrA is a decent player. Yes he has talent. Yes he is one of the best zerg players in the world. No, you should not have his balls in your mouth.

[Xtra83]

"...and yes, I am pronouncing it correctly..."

Eeeehm....no. Sorry HD! :D

[SirWeech10]

Who gives a fuck about Idra raging when he loses... everyone is angry when they lose some just hold it in and others express it, you see it everywhere why does it matter so much when Idra does it?

[mknox242]

I've heard this lame "american tradegy" song via youtube commerical so many damn times I'm actually bobbing my head when it comes home.

Amashed of myself....

[Mcyoussef]

@mknox242 indeed especially if it is so unbalanced as it is atm...

[Silentbreez1]

You might say Socke's name correctly but you're definitely wrong with IdrA. As he said during Dreamhack Stockholm International, it's not "[eidra]", it's "[edra]", if you know what I mean. Guys, you're pros, and by now you should know how to pronounce the names of the top players... :) No offense.

[woody12i2]

@Silentbreez1 watch a couple handsome nerd videos where artosis interviews idra about his name. he rolls with it now

[Majora911]

@Silentbreez1

He's saying Socke's name wrong, too. I cant read/write Phonetic transpription, so unfortunately I can't show how it is pronounced correctly.

[CthulhuSpawn007]

Holy shit HD, you really gotta stop dick riding Idra, seriously....

Espcially considering your CASTER, and you should be neutral in your opinions of players, at least when your casting your our tourny.

[NikoStarcraft]

HD you can't support Idra and still pronounce his name wrong...

[TheTwB2Frager]

Socke didn't win this game.

Force field did.

[Eraz0rZ]

@TheTwB2Frager

Idra didnt lose this game.

Spire did.

[TicTacToastbrot]

what is the inro music?

[mattheweppley]

Amazing control on the Phoenixes and Void Rays at the beginning! That is how you cover your Void Rays! :-)

[FREEEDOgaming]

i think idra coulda came back.

[slickhenrik]

U still pronounce it incorrectly! Its pronounced ['zɔkə].

[HelpfulJjam]

@slickhenrik ['zɔkə] could you explain how to pronounce that o_o

[slickhenrik]

@HelpfulJjam

i can try. its zock-a. "a" as in the article "a". first syllable is stressed. it means sock.

[DarkOne57s]

pheonixs so dumb its like o u didnt spam queens u fuked gg im going to get ahead if u easy sence im going to kill amost evrey thing u have

[Serv9Nex]

ATN is Team Alternate!

[LeftGermany]

Naw dude, Idra is actually pissed when he loses... He's just one of the few who actually have a well thought out opinion when he is... He doesn't just spout "imba", listen to state of the game or imbalanced (a show just about Idra rage) and get his formulated opinion. The amazing thing about Idra is that he rages for awhile, but then two weeks later he formulates a timing push to crush whatever it is that pisses him off

[john9x123]

That's the first time I saw Idra say "gg" without raging or crying

[doghateburger]

HD, great casting, Theres only thing I would recommend you do, put what race is going against what race, like PvP, PvT, PvZ, etc etc. I like watching PvT match ups, but somethings its hard to find them in your channel. If you do this, I would really appreciate it C:

[s00t09]

"So IdrA knows he's going to be facing some combination of protoss units here"

^ Really?!

[Madix3]

@Hdstarcraft It's "Sock-e" with the last e pronounced like the 'a' in about [əˈbaʊt] / like the 'e' in taken [ˈteɪkən] / and like the 'i' in pencil [ˈpɛnsəl]. It's that odd sound that's kind of hard to hear at the end of a word ;P

[Niiflux]

@evan13579b haha so angry till this moment. I hope you learn a thing or two from this. Remember, reflect on the profanities used, your attitude and ego. You are clear reflection of what you actually hate. Moreover your ego will not allow you to "lose" to sirandrew or myself, there is no win here, just take the message and learn. We are not here to condemn you.

We have yet to scold you yet you are throwing words at us. Tsk tsk, talk about BM.

[evan13579b]

@Niiflux

I'm BM'ing appropriately. The profanities were to point out the obvious. When someone says something ridiculously stupid they must be called out on in in an appropriate way as I did.

And you are here to lecture me, because according to your ego, you are far, far above me.

Its telling that you have abandoned the actual argument and instead want to use some generic cowardly practices to end the argument.

Like the old: "Stop arguing now cause that is lame!"

Practice what you preach.

[DotsOnALine]

Holy fuck guys stop bitching about what TheLuddwig37 said. Just vote it down if you don’t like it.

[Who0mere]

ATN: Andinosin Tri-Nitrate

[PopGhost]

Btw fuck you for hating on terran all the time

[PopGhost]

jesus christ how long is it going to take for you to finish this tournament do you care about the starcraft community anymore? Why have you stopped producing as much content as normal cuz we dont like you dumbass ladder games? get your act togather casters like hydrax and force are gonna overtake you soon if you dont start producing good content wihtout being a dick

[Puckstop101]

@PopGhost lol the sense of entiltement people think they should have is just hilarous nowadays

[MaintainStarcraft]

Hey guys starting a new Zerg tutorial series on my channel for people stuck in Gold or Silver and want to get to diamond! Check it out :D

[Kingmariostrikers]

Idra GG'ed?? O_O

[VANHELSKIN]

These protoss players have everyones number it seems is just me or does protoss win an awful lot recently

[Spaisd]

9:52 Horrible...

[BIOshockForEver098]
