maybe his new gf kept him up all night so he was off his game :P

But Idra is pretty stubborn about his views on balance, yes shak is a map that kind of favours protoss in ZvP but I think his attitude in that sense is trying to protect himself against his rage. Instead of trying to fight it out he wants to gg out asap so he can get on with the next game, instead of trying to come back from behind while it makes the rage bubble up inside him.

Could have also been an attempt at some minds games, cheese/throw away the first game so he can get away with a 15 hatch next game?
The final match was a bit retarded though. Idra played well but still got roflstomped. The lesson is: zerg aren't meant to beat protoss ^^

How is Shakuras favoured for protoss? Have you tried taking a 3rd base? Let alone trying to deny expansions of a zergs?

If the zerg can hold a 2 base push from the protoss then it becomes ridiculously hard for a toss player to win.
