Theres been an explanation every other page on this thread, are you really THAT lazy that you can't just go to page 2, 4, 6, 8, etc. and look around?
If you still don't find it funny then maybe you don't get it or maybe you don't find it funny lol, but a lot of us think its one of the best posts in a while.
Now that these parodies seem to be open to any eminem song, it seemed to me a Without Me one would work really well, the chorus worked so well it didn't even need to be changed: [Verse One] I've created a monster, cause nobody wants to see idrA no more They want grack, I'm chopped liver (huh?) Well if you want grack, this is what I'll give ya A couple of queens that’ll make my supply bigger Some macro to jump start my heart quicker than a shock when I get banned on the site TL by the mods when I'm not co-operating When I'm dissin’ the noobie while he's streaming (hey!!) You waited this long, now stop debating Cause I'm back, I'm on the rag and build creating I know that you got a job Ms. Stemtoski but your sons meat problem's complicating So the MLG won't let me be or let me be me, so let me see They try to shut me down on ESL TV But it feels so empty, without me So, play me a bit, timings I’ll hit Fuck that, you cheesy shit, I will ragequit And get ready, cause this shit's about to get heavy I just settled all my Temp bans, FUCK YOU NONY!
[Chorus] Now this looks like a job for me So everybody, just follow me Cause we need a little, controversy Cause it feels so empty, without me I said this looks like a job for me So everybody, just follow me Cause we need a little, controversy Cause it feels so empty, without me

If you ever attend a sporting event and sit near the field/ice/court or watch on TV and read lips you'll hear/see plenty of curses from players after plays, even some well respected ones. You'll see them jawing at the refs too, and they don't usually get a technical foul unless they get kinda out-of-hand. And if you got a chance to be in a locker room after a game, there will be TONS of shouting, cursing, slamming of lockers, throwing of chairs...
I don't know what's up with epidemic of humorless pinheads trying to hold players and commentators up to some impossible standard of etiquette. It's really getting fucking old.
because none of them do it after the game or before the game
XellOs once swore in front of the camera after a loss, and got pounded for that "stunt" even though he was apologetic afterwards and really was just frustrated with a loss. Idra's attitude is so piss poor to fellow competitors and fans it just makes me want to hurl. Added on top of the fact that he trashes everyone who isn't at the proleague level and his general snubbing of lower ranked players adds up to a pretty disgusting combination of arrogance, immaturity and crude humor.
Now normally, I wouldn't care, but the fact that he lives and trains in Korea is a big problem for me. The number of progamers in Korea from other countries is small (probably no more than 20) because of this, he really represents western e-sports to korea. Do we really want a whining, arrogant, nerd representing us, or someone who is not only good, but sociable, polite, and doesn't trash the competition? If a Korean came to American and acted like he did, I am 100% sure that we would not want a lot of Koreans coming over.
Let IdrA trash talk in America, once he proves that he can win (MLG, WCG, etc) or he can get his act together (unlikely), he can go back. Until then, let him be hidden away at home so that our talented and friendly players get highlighted, not a bitter, arrogant, and snobbish one.

I guess he can go back now. Good thing you put these rules in place.

This bandwagon shit is making me rage so hard after listening to Zatic's interview the other day. It's infested every single thread I read.. someone with some respect posts something and there's 20 replies from people with less than 200 posts saying "Hahaha I soooo agree!!~"

Come on TL, we're better than that.
Or maybe, just maybe, its actually funny?
I laughed so hard when I read his post, I didnt read plexas first, then go back and laugh at it.

Are you really THAT lazy you can't read a single post? He already said he understood the reference.
IdrA seems like he's actually a cool dude. If he just chilled a little, he'd probably be awesome.
I think he's prob a lot cooler irl, but his online rager personality is what makes him so famous =P Him talking shit is just what gets him attention haha
I agree with OP though, at least about the stuff about being professional and mannering up. I have a lot of respect for IdrA's gameplay and I would have more respect for him as a person if he matured a little bit.

I think sponsors should care about results.
"play to win" right? Idra wins a lot. Thus sponsors win a lot.
this is one of the challenges for e-sports to grow, nerds have to understand its about the advertising potential of the team, NOT mainly results...

madfrog is a good case in point.
If it's sponsorship potential that matters instead of results, it seems clear to me idrA actually excels even more. Who in professional starcraft is more famous (or infamous) than idrA, who gets more press and attention?
Idra has been known for his BM/Nerdrage for years, I doubt he'll ever straighten up. I still remember when SDM got pissed off at Idra during a SC live match at gom because he was chatting in-game.
