Kingston HyperX Pro Tip: EG.IdrA vs. Liquid`Nazgul

[PosseOfAnon]

What does he mean when he says like 14 pool 15 hatchery? What do the numbers have to relate to anything?

[HuehuehueEsBest]

@PosseOfAnon At 14 supply he gets a pool and at 15 supply he builds a hatchery.

[Rix11234]

porn music ftw

[VenomLSTMV]

What instrumental is that?

[reespawson]

@VenomLSTMV Its something by Mt. Eden Dubstep... "Beautiful Lies" i believe

[VenomLSTMV]

@reespawson Thanks for the info.

[diekontrolleure]

idra GGed? tahts the first time ever!!!

[Kaso1983]

Good luck in every game u will play := and thank u 4 ur tipss now i see ur not that arrogant nerd i saw in u before!

[agro0]

omg, did they record it with a dishwasher?

[TheLobotomist]

WOW, I have not seen a blink stalker build demolished that hard before. Props to idra.

[Trent5281]

Well the quality aint hd but its free vods what do u expect?Its good enough imo.

[87Nedo]

ANyone know who does the background music????

[Wantstowincontest]

ZZZZERRGGGG



[TriggEttan]

haha i love how the music stops right when idra say "stops" at 4:35 and start again at the second stop:D

[Danellis09]

The guy at the start of the video advertising kingston hyper-x sounds just like djwheat, is it him or does it just sound exactly like him?

[GuardStarcraft]

@Danellis09 its him, he is very skilled at making adverts and such

[SonOfBe3r]

The quality of this free awesome pro tips video is bad blah blah blah blah

I'm a gay dumbassfucker BTW

[TheNatth1]

@SonOfBe3r are u a fucking IDIOT!?

[sc2mmk]

Idra is my favo Zerg <3

[Milithryus]

Seriously, for a hardware maker sponsored video, the quality is pretty damn awfull.

[SoCalAries]

@Milithryus i know right!

[suyangsong]

@Milithryus information's top quality tho

[tuestresfat]

the main reason IdrA could hold this build off is because he saw it coming, and he had the map advantage allowing him to 14 hatch as well as tech to hydras without being pressured. i'm not pro or anything, but something i like to do with this build (on this map) is actually blinking past the destructible rocks. it doesn't make this build significantly stronger, but i feel like it mixes things up and has a chance of catching the zerg by surprise.

[DimeBagRIP12804]

loving the videos i hope he keeps doing them.

[84xennion]

whats with porn music

[idiiidit]

dam how does he move the camera so fast with the edge of the screen...i wish i can do that

[PrinzDjamal]

@idiiidit

.....you can adjust the "scroll speed"in the options.

[darkshadow61]

1. idra lost game 1 because it took him off guard

2. idra lost game 3 because it was kulas ravine... which is very good for blink stalkers.

3. I understand why people would want to see why he lost, but those are pretty much the prime reasons.

[tuestresfat]

@darkshadow61 kulas is so broken for blink stalkers, that's why its not on the 1v1 map pool for ladders lol

[Xerlane]

EGIdrA doing an awesome job here ^^

[FaZ07]

Considering Idra lost this series, it's kind of dumb to point out the one game where Nazgul misplayed the strategy. This map also isn't good for Blink Stalkers because there's no good cliffs to utilize.

I'd much rather see Idra show G1 or G3 (both of which he lost) and explain what he could have done better so he didn't lose to Blink Stalkers.

Also, EG, you guys should have someone talk about the public beta tests with new balance/interface changes that's upcoming. Needs a pro's perspective.

[albefort]

@FaZ07 "If you go roaches you lose". He lost because he didn't recognize the build.

[MajinMojo]

@FaZ07 EG.Incotrol, JP McDaniel and Liquid'Tyler do a podcast together called "State of the Game" IdrA is often a guest on the show along with Day9 and others. Look for their latest one where they discuss the patch notes.

[Anubiste]

I think idrA's great speaking in interviews, he's just a bit wooden in these videos (tho the content is great). Once he gets comfortable with it and can talk normally these vids are going to be even better.

[Phoenix3568]

GOGO IDRA!!!

[renkai1]

How did he know his opponent was going blink stalkers? besides nazgul doing it set 1.

[xLingyy]

@renkai1 because nazgul is one dimensional

[MikeWuzHear]

Am I crazy or is Wheat doing the intro for these ads?

[Adriankat]

@MikeWuzHear It's Wheat.

[men1kmati]

@MikeWuzHear you aren't going crazy. its him.

[karthadastim]

I love watching commentaries like this where you can really take to heart everything the caster says about the game because they know 100% wtf they are talking about.

Some game commentaries give rather shaky advice sometimes...

[weirdyoda04]

Glad to see IdrA doing stuff like this. It's really cool to get an in depth analysis for a seasoned pro. (Not to discount day[9] or anything) Haha just noticed one of the video tags Gracken

[DarKcS2]

I want to dl this replay :(

[someposter]

yay kingston, yay hyperx, great pro tips.

[Yubel0]

I will be looking forward to your analysis on how to beat early phoenix in the new patch IdrA :)

I's sure that you'll find a solid way to win, until then I guess its just about spreading creep and getting upgraded hydras with corrupter support for the late game?

Keep on fighting!

[seriussam101]

It's really interesting to see an active, top-tier player comment on these games.

As entertaining as some of the other major casters are, this is by far and away the most substantive commentary thatI have seen. This is what serious players should be watching.

[markchron11]

good stuff IdrA

[darkfoxxx321]

damn was hoping to see him rage.. then again his rage face would be :|

[Fallen8800]

IdrA has to have Asperger's syndrome. The lack of facial emotion, the rage, the awesome Starcraft skills. It makes sense.

[lucasw122333]

What's with that drum beat in the background haha...

[WallieTF]

@CaptFwiffo Just because you're a bad loser dosent mean that you're a bad person. He got a temper, that's all.

[plueschi94]

OMFG, he blinker rushed! :O

[pewpew444]

@axioms22 Why not everyone may Like Idra he is still very good and I hope more pros will do commentary on their own replays. Regardless of whether they are good commentators or not doesn't mean the have the knowledge to help others. The product placement is necessary. If we want esports to grow there must be sponsors. Although i agree with the porn music.

[nooblero]

@axioms22 old game?

[axioms22]

@nooblero This is from MLG DC, which isn't ancient, but this is still an old game, at least for people who keep up.

[Yiega]

is this really a 8 pylon? doesnt he have to cut one probe at the start for this?

[WallieTF]

@Yiega yeah i was kind of wtf-facein there....

[lucasw122333]

@Yiega 9 pylon is standard, cutting a probe makes it 8 pylon...

[BunyipAndler]

This is a great feature and I can't wait to see more. The only thing I didn't like was the music. I found it distracting. The in-game music seems to work for other casts. Why not use that?

[Argcz]

thanks idra, very educational video even for nonzerg newbies like i :]

[J05HDA]

The spine crawler push on Steppes should be called the "Poking-Penis Parade".

[ZenkoJenko]

@J05HDA it really shouldn't though... lol

[wetubelolel]

Blinker rush should totally be the name. <3

[ra5kit]

What will happen next? On the next exciting episode of GRACKENBALL Z!!!

[pwncakery]

is that djwheat doing the hyperx promo?

[SweepTheLegYo]

@pwncakery Yes

[MicrowavedHamster]

Omgomgomg And the stream was fucking awesome, too.

[chenheisthebest]

GOO GRACKEN!!!!

[charmer4you]

IDRa... We loves you man!!!!

[ndewhurst12]

Replace the gay piano with Dubstep from IdrA's Stream

[WEBSMURF]

RELEASE THE GRACKEN!!

WE <3 YOU IDRA!!!!!!!!!

[mikidelux]

I'd just randomly buy Kingston RAM just for these vids. Thanks!!

[TaaNaa]

Grack dealer doing his thang!

[GreatVomitto]

IdrA champion of GSL 4!

[moshack9]

I love the idea of Grack sitting alone in his room in Korea with a makeshift green screen and 20 year old camera.

GL in next season Greg!

[fuccons]

RELEASE THE GRACKEN!

[Jackbito]

gracken hwaiting

[DenBeef]

wow really very helpful commentary, I'm a starcraft noob and play zerg with your style of play, so knowing your thoughts behind what you do is just perfect. hope to see more videos from you

[djuraster]

idra realy looks like an evil genius

[AtomSC]

The quality is strange. Commentary nice. Idra, can you also cast a game you lose?

[stevedekorte]

Idra, great to see you cast a game. If there you do more, could you make them without the elevator music?

[zlobber]

We want EG house in Korea!

[zyronsc24fun]

@myEGnet very helpful thx. I'd like to know how/when to bank some emergency larva w/ out taking a critical hit to my econ. gg.

[ltsjack]

@zyronsc24fun 200/200

[burayan7]

great job IdrA, I love hearing these, and much love to kingston hyperX for making these possible :)

[cmichaelt]

Hey man great cast and very informative as a beginning zerg player.

[victoryxfailure]

Finally! an advertisement that we can skip!

[dimondghost]

cast this in HD!

[couyang2]

love the elevator music.

[kschaller]

Very informative and well-presented. Would really like to see more of these (especially in HD!)

[anmndr]

Grackquille Oneal

[Figure7leglock]

Idra is a good speaker and pro player. I wish him best of luck on future GSLs.

[jimmyjoejoeshabadoo]

@Figure7leglock

He's alright, I think all this new community type stuff he's doing lately will make him better.

[amrasmord]

RELEASE THE GRACKEN!

[drzachm]

Release the GRACKEN!!!

[imalittlecow]

Yay, is that DJWheat in the intro/outro? <3

Also, great videos. Probably the best zerg analysis videos currently available!

And respect for IdrA, hope you'll finally get a place you deserve in GSL.

[Nospherith]

GRACK > YOU

[Dalianon]

IdrA is awesome!

[GreatVomitto]

I love you IdrA!

[XxRegretzxX]

IdrA is the fuckin man

keep these vids goin

he's amazing

[Falcanium]

music puts me to sleep

[Fa1nTy]

"Defend it pretty easily."

Unless it's Kulololololas.

[fuzzypanda36]

release the gracken

[RaneStari]

IdrA looks really tired, but still pro analysis from Idra's mind is good. :)

[Quaterno]

I really like these pro replays from EG, IdrA is a smart guy and it's nice to see his opinion on the games he plays, thanks EG and thanks IdrA ^^

[ziccoo123]

im fairly certain almost every toss who played against idra used blink stalkers every map

[DreadAle]

@ziccoo123 Not really. I only know of NoNy and Nazgul who used it against Idra, else I haven't see much of the build in pro play. Current trend in PvZ in korea is to go early starports, sometimes into phoenix/colossus, or other times relying more on void rays.

[ziccoo123]

@DreadAle hmm ya. i dont play on the korean server, but i play like 50% toss 50% zerg and when ever i play against a toss as Z they go 4 gate blink stalker like 75% of the time

[GreatVomitto]

@ziccoo123 Rather like 99% times :)
