I asked Idra about a week or so back to cancel this match and the bet due to personal reasons; long story short lots of RL stuff going on and no desire or time to focus on competitive SC2. Idra was understanding to my situation and said "if you can't play, you can't play, no big deal" and that was the end of that.
The reason I waited until now to update the community on what's going on with this match is because I've been trying to organize a replacement match between Idra who when presented witht he idea of a replacement match said "I will play anybody" and a top Korean protoss. Unfortunately that was also not to be so as I can't find a protoss willing to play a top zerg in the most recent patch AND a few of Idra's backers are not interested in backing him to play vs someone other than me. So there are problems on both sides. I guess I wanted to give something back to the community for taking this match away from them but unfortunately it was not to be so. Maybe one day I'll come up with something.
So that's the end of that, I'm gonna be focusing on the issues that prevented me from playing this match for a while and maybe get involved in SC2 again when I have less distractions.

I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

No problem, was over something petty anyways.

No biggie, gl with the RL issues. Though, admittedly, I was looking forward to this. That thread was a great piece of drama.
|
Sad to hear that, but RL is more important anyways.
Good luck getting everything back to the way it's supposed to be.

Neither garimto nor tester will play?

I don't think Idra's backers would like that very much..
|
Aww 
But I understand. RL comes first, and with the amount of time that's transpired, it's already lost a lot of the momentum, anyways.

TT i was waiting for that match lol, btw! i have a Europe BETA KEY i want to Change for the USA one, if some one its interested pm me
|
Just make a show match vs a top Kor for less money :p
Please make it happen when you will have more time.
I mean Idra can always bet like 100 or 200$ on himself no ?

|
Sad ending  But as you say you got some important stuff going on in meat space..
|
Good luck with RL stuff. To bad you couldn't play him, but it's not too big of a deal. It had lost a lot of its steam anyway.

you know, I just want to point out that games ARE real life.
Thats like saying
"it's just sex man, who cares? real life is more important"
or
"it's just getting married man, who cares? real life is more important"
It's not like when we play games we suddenly warp into an alternate dimension and time is suspended or something..
Sorry I just get annoyed by that argument

I believe "real life" used in this context is general agreed to mean "friends, family, and other personal obligations that i value higher than the e-community (such as TL) that i'm a part of".
Regardless, disappointing but thanks for letting us know smuft. GL with whatever you have going on.

Thanks for the update, it's all fun and games until...

How so?
EU got better players, better ping and overall cooler players.
AND SHAMEEE! This could have been more epic then Combat-Ex vs Chill!
But like Idra smartly said, if you can't play you can't play, thats that.

when it became clear how much money was on the line idra was strictly against playing. he said he didn't want to play with other peoples money (and possibly lose it).
so it's not really hard for him to be the nice guy for once.

I'll play IdrA instead ^_^. Give me like 1:100 ods tho :D

Sick ego win for idra, nice 1

Bleh, it is all cool. Good luck to solving the RL stuff.
Be cool to see you back in SC2 someday. We need more strong Canadian players to overthrow the evil US Empire!

Lolwut.
How is that a sick ego win for Idra?
"Hey man, I have real life issues getting in the way of this, I'm sorry but I can't get into a video game right now with (family issues, money issues, friend issues, something in any case) in the way."
"No big deal man, if you can't play, you can't play"
Yeah, I'm sure Idra is going "Man I fucked that guy hard, my epeen is even bigger now."
Think before you post.
|
Who are "Idra's Backers" exactly?
|
Sadness.
Hope whatevers going on with you works out smuft, sounds bit serious and a match is just a match. glhf!

It's an ego win if you see it as Smuft dodging.

that's too bad, would have been great (: well good luck to you!

Good luck with the real life issues, if there are any.
I don't want to seem like a dick.. but come on.. if you know you have money issues don't make wagers.. lol. Seems more like a dodge then anything else to me, with an excuse that would make someone who calls you out on it (like im doing) seem like a dick. Whatever

He never said anything about money issues........... reading comprehension is lacking somethin' STRONG on these forums.

What, you think it was because of emotional issues or something?
You stupid?
He can't take the risk of losing the money right now, so is bailing out. That's what I assumed at least.
Same thing if he couldn't find time to practice, don't make a wager on something you have to prepare for, lol.
|
Epic dodge from M. King !
|
Great call, Smuft.
Glad to see that you are putting RL before SC.
|

Ban this fool. Pointless conjecture contradicting a respected member of a community is stupid. Don't make baseless assumptions. Smuft was the one who suggested 5k over a mere 500. You think he would have done that if there was even a prospect of money issues? Read all posts on a subject before making yourself look like an idiot.
Edit: I'm new here and don't mean to be out of line with the BM, but it irks me when I come to TL for calm, logical discussions and find trash like this.

You're both noobs, stop arguing.

So why do you think he called it off then? Honestly. If he didn't give a shit about the money why would he just not play it anyways? For the audience at least. Don't be fucking ignorant. 60 post retard.

I used the term "personal reasons" because that's what they are, I'm a pretty private person when it comes to stuff like this and only a few people close to me know. Anyways I can assure you that it's all quite boring and your time spent speculating is a waste.

Smuft is a successful poker player, $5,000 is most likely not enough to force him to back out.

That was one expensive second hand toast and for some reason I still had trouble handing it over and accepting the 1k check...

oh deary me. well, i know a few of you saw this coming ever since smuft made his $5000 even-glass-is-less-transparent bluff. idra sure did. the only question in my mind was, "i wonder how vague smuft's excuse will end up being?" and wouldn't ya know, it's just vague enough to be left entirely to our imaginations! now that's skill, hahaha! ok, ok, who cares, right? one made-up excuse is as pathetic as the next. so yeah, smuft emerges from this debacle looking quite the buffoon, though not quite the buffoon he would've looked had he played idra; but hey, he did what he could in a lose-lose situation. from one coward to another: good on ya, smuft! manning up is totally overrated!
i can't help but imagine how pungent and obscene idra's douchey sense of accomplishment must be right now. he put smuft firmly in his place without so much as hatching a single drone. it's amusing yet sickening. i vomit through my chortles.
