Generally (except for tournaments). The only IdrA games that get onto the net are the ones where he rages, win or lose.
Occasionally he is outplayed. Tester has done some clever tricks against IdrA which IdrA himself has openly stated he hasn't got a response for. I've seen a few Protoss games (Tester KoTB and WhiteRa TLI spring to mind) Where Idra had the "Advantage" and lost to one good push, typically he is graceful in defeat in these games (he may not have GG'd but he didn't rage).
I have also seen IdrA lose a lot of Cheese / Map imbalance games and he will certainly make his opinion of the opponent clear. Usually saying something like "Don't think your good because you beat me using that BS". Which is IMO a fair comment. If I beat a top level player like IdrA you know full well I'll be posting it on the internet, regardless if the win was through genuine skill or, using a cheap "No-Skill" tactic or just fluke.
The last rage I see is generally reserved for Map abuse/ Terran. The games against Silver are a key example of this. Silvers play on Kulas against Idra was based around the map's layout favoring Terran, and the same can be said about the follow-up match on Lost Temple. Obviously as a Terran player you'd be stupid not to make use of these advantages. That said... Was it the players skill that won the games, or the imballance between the races (Zerg have no response to early-mid game cliff abuse)
The last point that has to be made is whilst I think often the Idra Rage is him over-reacting in a game, and not biting his tongue so to speak. The establishment seems to be courting the controversy and attention it generates on the internet. Making IdrA mad seems to get your name or your organisations name in the spotlight. His BM is in my opinion no worse than Jose Mourinho's
Oh Terran > Protoss > Zerg. Z v P is not too bad I'd say 55:45 in Protoss's favor (terran is something like 80:20 when going Mech). Generally I'd say Zerg have 1 real means for controlling a ZvP, the Muta. Protoss have many options, but require Z to either not use Mutas or P to pacify the Muta threat. Once Mutas are not viable Protoss can cause zerg terrible terrible damage.
I'm still trying to work out if IdrAs timing for Broodlords in the Droobie game was well timed or just too late.
Part of me says "Well if he went Broodlords earlier he would have drawn that silly game to an end sooner"
The other part of me says "Making Droobie commit to a late, late game ground army with little opportunity to invest in significant AA units Due to supply caps and the map resources dwindling is what allowed the Broodlords to have such a free-reign"
Basically saying. If Idra went Broodlords earlier he may have lost due to Viking/BC abuse.
And almost every encounter that Idra/Droobie had since Idra got Ultras (except that one in the bottom right hand corner) should have on paper been a victory for IdrA and would have been on a map like Lost Temple or Metalopolis where there were wide open spaces and the Stupid Stupid Ultras did not get lost and start spinning in circles.
Kulas has so many chokes that it funnels the Zerg units into a line and allows the Terran Tanks/bunkers/Planetary fortresses to simply abuse the tight spaces.
Its also very easy for an observer who can see the entire map to say "IdrA should have done XYZ" IIRC HDStarcraft repeatedly stated "Idra Should bust down these rocks and flank Droobie, this will end the game" But if Idra can not see the entire map, does not know where the enemy is positioned all his units etc. Its very hard to call. At the end of the day, IdrA deseved to win, did win, and because partly due to Droobies syle, and partly due to Droobies race and partly due to the ingame banter from Droobie, IdrA rubbed his victory in Droobies face.
first game was a bit of bad luck. I watched the replay of the second game I dont think the toss player made a single army unit the whole game.
