Idra (Z) vs Happy (T) - G1 - Xel'Naga Caverns - SC961 -

[simoneRV]

What the hell...!!? lol

[sacpelicancom]

I really admire Idra but sometimes he really acts stupidly ! Not talking about the ragequit cause i understand that, but about the early quit like in this game. Does he do that just for the buzz ???

[Kogerii]

I bet he's Happy about Idra's premature forfeiture.

[neothaon3]

Hellions all the time is annoying. While i agree he probably would have won the game - i don't blame him for GGing out

[kennykakakaka]

Idra is so dumb...

[corray12]

HAHAHA +1

[agustinbs]

i hate Idra Actitude

[tarquin161234]

Idra is hilarious

[Vaspokor]

what the? he would have completely crushed him.. o.O

[DorianDelLatto]

he was still ahead D:

[Kayokak]

... wtf??

[Danziiiig]

idra stands for I.Do.Rage.Allot

[yuyex1234]

@Danziiiig LoL~

[yuyex1234]

@Danziiiig IDRA = I Dont Rush Alot .. (So dont rush me pleaseee!!! T.T )

[AssFragger]

@Danziiiig i dont get it he didn leave without a gg did he??

[will8677]

He gives up too early.

[gatoman46]

what the...?

[StyleKrong]

I don't think Idra would be very good at golf. If he didn't get a hole in one on each hole, he'd just quit.

[Danziiiig]

@StyleKrong LOLOL so true

[CALIFORN1ASUPERSTAR]

idra is the only stupid little raging kid that gg's when he's winning....what an idiot

[yuyex1234]

idra never like to be attacked on the early game .. he is just want his economy game on the early game and attack on the middle/late game .. HE IS EASY TO PREDICT :))

[Danziiiig]

@yuyex1234 idra cry's like a bitch when some one uses a new strat for a rts game it's called the "rush" lol

[yuyex1234]

@Danziiiig LoL~ He NEVER wins when his opponent rush him :( sad

[Danziiiig]

@yuyex1234 i know he's a one sided player and kinda boring to watch.

[divineoblivion1]

I can tell why the loser gged when he did

[Moonshield23]

Isn't that color "goldenrod"? :)

[Danziiiig]

how a player like idra gets to be a pro player with such pore sportsmanship i dunno

[xGunster]

@Danziiiig Manners don't make you a better player, it only makes you a more socially-acceptable person. Plus, it's not like SC2 restricts pros because they don't have a polite, happy go-lucky personality.

[Danziiiig]

@xGunster beg to differ if you run around raging all the time ur bound to hinder ur play. and maybe pro teams need to start with that who wants to sponsor a sore loser. any way convo over i have no interest in what you say

[xGunster]

@Danziiiig True, being mad hinders yourself but it doesn't make you suddenly the worst player ever. You have to at least remember that Idra is not always angry, and all professionals know to keep their cool when they play, and they do stay cool despite people thinking they're incredibly angry.

I mean really, how can you tell someone is angry when you can't see their face like in this game? Because they left and didn't say 'gg'? What if they forgot to hit enter before leaving?

[Danziiiig]

gunslinger i told you the convo was over sir/ma'm/or kid idra is a sore loser and a pore sport. try using you tube there are MANY compilation vid's of all the shit he's talked. i dont need to see some one's "face" to tell they are mad or have cracked under the strain. idra cry's like a little balding baby every time some one decides to play a non macro game at attack him early he cant adapt to any other form of play. good day /rant

[xGunster]

@Danziiiig I was looking for a nice mature conversation, and I already know he's a poor sport (but a good player). I guess the talk is over if you can not accept my input, it's really sad to see someone not acknowledge what you have to say. You can never have a good conversation and learn more from talking to someone if you cover your ears, or in this case, ignore their comment.

[Danziiiig]

@xGunster 1. im not here to talk to ya. 2. he's not a good player untill 30 min in a game 3. there is noting you can teach me that i already do not know..

[divineoblivion1]

@xGunster It is similar to sports though, when you act like a jerk you are penalized (except American football for some reason). Similar edict should be placed in things like this.

[Danziiiig]

@divineoblivion1 good to see that im not aloe in my thinking

[xGunster]

@divineoblivion1 Similar, but not enough to actually affect himself more than being frustrated enough to stop playing when he streams due to trolling/cheese. A player like Idra is NOT like some bad sports who (illegally) play dirty, that's different from not saying "good game" or "nice shot" when playing.

He plays by the rules, and he plays the game exceptionally well--that's why he's a professional. I'll agree with your comment though, only if someone got penalized for not saying "gg".

[divineoblivion1]

@xGunster It isn't about playing dirty but rather act like an ass to other players. Perfect example of this is IdrA vs Silver. Any sport would say "you are out of the game". You can play by the rules and still act like a jerk, which is what IdrA does. While I don't doubt at all that he is the king of macro, I still don't consider him professional for that reason.

[divineoblivion1]

@Danziiiig I ask that everyday

[Danziiiig]

@divineoblivion1 well look at it like this if you were idra  short, balding, and passed up on a full scholarship to a very good school to play this game and fail at it as bad as he do well i'd be mad all the time also

[divineoblivion1]

@Danziiiig true

[Rotemetoot]

fjklshadflkjhasdkljhsahjkd and Idra says g... g?

[hotstuffwatcher]

eh i can see why idra left. he just too many drones to 2 marines. went for roaches to counter but there was a bunker and a maruader.

[RodrigoSidney]

Idra has not been raging for a while.

Now it is more of a early GG galore.

[Attari502]

I kind of respect how Crota tries to defend Idra, but still.... too early.

[joe1001bit]

Hellion facepalm at gg. Epic

[Han3508]

ha?G?

[Technohazard1]

Crota, can you cast a game with the camera rotated the whole game? That would be an awesome PoV to see!

Thumbs up! ^_^

[daydahlus]

@Technohazard1 it takes up waaaaay more memory that way

[SkyZoid]

HAHA Idra micro? A-click zerg....

[OriginalMasterChief]

i hate thate there are timelimits on youtube videos, i know how long it will take :(

[ilbarza]

idra micro for two ling?? idra micro? shut up. only lucky

[voidstuff]

lol GG.Idra

[chrisjk123]

I've always hated Idra, hes such a prick

[julioreis77]

My name is Idra, GG.Idra.

[ImaHornPlayer]

lol at 5:10 look at the unit icon right when he gg's

[djangoguru]

@ImaHornPlayer epic facepalm! :D

[duto009]

He cutted workers for a roach rush, but Happy was ready for it and he had an expo done. If there where no helions at all IdrA stil wouldve gg'd.

[duto009]

Last game he cutted workers for a roach rush, but Happy was ready for it and he an expo done. If there where no helions at all IdrA stil wouldve gg'd.

[stmrd1]

IdrA was behind in Drones and the Hellions would got some more dronekills as well, so he was behind at this stage.

[jqd209]

5:10 is classic.  There was no reason for idra to leave with two roaches already there and another on the way...

[UnDieAble]

@jqd209 Sure there is. It was game...helions would of killed at least 5-8 more drones

[PaulAnthonyEscobar]

Tbh this is what we all watch Idra games for. He has a talent of making his games appealing to watch.

[ArekDamianBal]

Idra is leaver... He Wouldn't have a life In League Of Legends. :D

[HeadHunterzFan92]

@ArekDamianBal agree lol

[slinov]

Crota's reaction at the end of this was incredible. Had the exact same words going through my head.

[armaniac661]

??? I know IdrA has such rage-quits, but his was ridiculous...

[R3FLEXs]

that ragequit made no sense. At least he actually said GG

[adamdragon88]

did anyone else here the sky crack with that gg at the end?

[bertvanbertenernie]

idra is such a retard..

[JonasBM3]

"Idra always known for his strong macro"... No... Idra known for being one of the best players in the world and also one of the biggest crybabies ever in esports.

[mcspikesky]

@JonasBM3 Self-contradictory statement.

[Faizaud]

"...and Evil Geniuses Idra says g...g?" lol, you're reaction was awesome

[thedarkwatcher]

that was wayy too early, he could've lost every drone on that natural and still be fine.

[markyboyb32ify]

i have no respect for idra

[MrDucktaper]

Y U GG!?

[Forgiv3n777]

I think idra's gg are more unexpected than most gaming strategy's.........

[rshswe]

Well, atleast he said GG ?

[Madhofd]

Crota, try to make every single video like 1 hour ^^ for spoiler reasons, take a while longer to upload.. but hey.. at least it doesnt spoil the vid :)

[warlockskz]

Spoiler alert: if you watch all 3 games, you will know why Idra left this game.

[KorsaA]

exit coming in = win.

[chealyte]

wow i surprise to see idra gg instant of rage ...

[drife1975]

why not a spine...???

[fatnlazychinc]

lol idra's GG timing is by itself a landmark in this game

[JohnnyDarko01]

idra always does this, just leaves early as soon as he falls behind. he isn't what he used to be.

[jcd2511]

@JohnnyDarko01 Lol yeah 4th rank on the american grandmaster servers.. aint what it used to be..

[JohnnyDarko01]

@jcd2511 he used to play code S in korea, he don't even play in korea at all anymore. Any of the grandmasters on ameriucan servers would probably be master status or lower on korea ladder. Grandmaster status on american servers doesn't mean anthing when it comes to being best in the world (top 100) which idra used to be

[jcd2511]

@JohnnyDarko01 Mate i have a feeling being the 4th best player in America means you might at least be able to compete with anyone you play. Also many koreans have training accounts on the NA server anyway. Idra spent a long time in Korea and decided to come home and now EG have picked up serious talent who he can and will practice with all the time.. Just stop being a troll and respect the fact that Idra is one of the best going around. If he wasnt then people wouldnt talk about him.

[masterscheme1]

how can anyone be a fan of this guy? he gives up so easy, he is so emo. He has no fight in him at all. Such a bitch.

[epicSockett]

@masterscheme1 He's better than you. And once he's propelled into his macro game, it's a shitload of fun to watch him. :D

[masterscheme1]

@epicSockett Saying he is better than me or you or anyone else is besides the point. We already know he is good. And no just because he can macro well doesn't mean he is fun to watch because his play style has very little diversity. And even when he has the macro advantage he does the same thing. He gives up easy sometimes for no reason. He will suicide units and won't retreat sometimes when its completely necessary. Then when he looses from a good game he talks shit when its clearly his fault.

[epicSockett]

@masterscheme1 I do agree he often GGs to early, but that's no reason to call someone an emo.

Also, suiciding units as Zerg isn't a big deal. You can rebuild them faster than any of the races. :D

[Gooseman2k2]

I only wanted to watch 1 vid... I see 3 games with IdrA.... I choose the shortest game... the rest is obvious!

[ironintel]

wtf



[Weylin09]

at least he gg'd this time

[maggot225]

why doesnt he ever put vids of him playing... thats what i would love to watch

[TheStarcraft2Dude]

When you pull 10 drones off the line to deal with 2 marines and a bunker...IdrA I have seen you drop like this in at least a dozen other games on Xel Naga. Seriously make your pool first if you suck that bad that defending this crap...good lord man. ITS NOT THAT HARD. lol

[masterpenguin714]

@TheStarcraft2Dude He's still a better player than you

[azir64]

@masterpenguin714 he does have a point though, i'v seen destiny and even psystarcraft defending this with ease.

Idra's fundamental flaw in many games is not scouting enough imo.

He gets caught off guard by alot of simple strats and then he's angry

[morrichan77]

g................g?

I lol'd

[impmon12345]

Idra should have just played defensively with his fire few roaches instead of mindlessly running at a terran wall-in. He doesn't do it against Protoss because he expects Void Rays, but wtf terrans have bunkers ffs.

[alzaeem5656]

idra + short game ? ummm its obvious

[HeadHunterzFan92]

@alzaeem5656 HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA

[PDawgize]

I understand Idra is more set on getting more games in while laddering, and not wasting time with a game that seems to be going south, but in a series game, he should really stick around and fight it out cause he has nothing else to really do. Like that game where he gg'd as soon as he saw a mass army of hallucinated Void Rays and he just had broodlords

[fbruvik]

Spoiler alert...

Is idra stupid? This is not the first time I see him leave in the middle of a game with bigger army and more workers.

[joelpalkia]

@fbruvik i think he perpously let the game go to go into a game 3.

[PBTtime]

@fbruvik He isn't stupid, he probably did that for a reason. I have no idea what he was thinking, but don't call him stupid.

[impmon12345]

@fbruvik Idra plays zerg because he believes it to be the superior of the 3 races. If he cant beat you with his opening gambit, which he assumes is unbeatable, he rages and quits. Then he'll cry about race imbalance. Fun fact:  OGSMC makes protoss look to be the most powerful/imba with early strategic usage of force fields.

[Collector2006]

@impmon12345 really? Is that why idra has a macro style of play? And why he never cheeses? And also why the other 2 games in the series passed the 30 minute marker? You are so full of shit. Idra is a great player. You are just angry.

[azir64]

@Collector2006 you are full of shit yourself other games passed the 16 and 17 min marker :p

GG

[Collector2006]

@azir64 My bad I meant 20 minute. I typed 3 instead of 2 (and it did. Look at it tardcake. The gg was given in game 2 at min 21). But whatever my point still stands. You are just a stupid troll that prolly plays terran and got cheesed by zerg one to many times. 17 minutes is far away from opener strategy.

[impmon12345]

@Collector2006 No anger what so ever, it's a game. My beef with Idra is that he has so many fan boys and routinely tries to play the same game, over and over. He uses his macro to overrun his opponents and never tries anything cunning or inventive.

[Londron]

@impmon12345

Never is a big word. I've seen him use fast hydra+Nydus to shut down fast expanding protos f.ex.(his Nydus more or less appears at the same time as warpgate finishes)

[impmon12345]

@Londron If I saw that kind of play more frequently instead of the passive style I usually see (seriously why dont Idra's opponents harass/deny more if they understand Idra is trying to get a max'd army, trade it, then remacro a second army and overrun them?) then I would probably have a slightly more favorable opinion. TBH the BM i see in a lot of games grates on my nerves :P

[Collector2006]

@impmon12345 Everybody's a critc



[lifessaverz]

@fbruvik he doesnt have more workers.>?

[torquestomp]

@fbruvik he didn't have more workers. 17 < 22

This was essentially a roach-bust / all-in; he saw that the front wall was tight with a bunker and marauder, and he had very little in position to deal with those speedy hellions, so he left. A bit early, yes, but he had set himself up for a pretty awful midgame

[NachiMeNachiMe]

russian happy?

[Quidam86]

Any time I see an Idra game I watch it just to see the rage

[goods97]

what is this i dont even....

[LockheedC130]

CROTA, you just got trolled by IdrA :) luv u

[IIbikerII]

Hooray IdrAAAAAA

[wazzobazzo]

Err...OK?

[kevinhay7]

huh?

[coolcat2994]

GEEEGEEEE

[Shinji87]

Good old Idra =) can always expect quality play from him!

[azir64]

@Shinji87 A move is quality play ?

[pklong88]

@azir64 You really don't get what he's saying at all, lol.

[wallofjustin]

Waddafak? <.<

[Maxaker67]

O.O Happy

[TheHunter1012]

Another Idra game =)
