I understand getting angy when you lose. But the OP is right, Idra goes beyond losing and all the way down into acting like a child. I mean, you get mad at your opponent for all-inning you on a 4 gate, but if worked. Then almost every ZvP you do you make mass roaches and macro up without really focusing on what they're doing. Thats like me getting mad a underskill zerg players for getting into diamond with Are they good players?

Maybe but well never know. Did they still win? Yes, yes they did.

I get pissed whenever I lose to anything other than getting outplayed. Doesn't give me the right to make the rules on what is and isn't fair.

a number of you guys mentioned how you respect idra.

what i'd like to know is if you guys are respecting him out of his play or only because he's supposedly the best American sc pro? (subjective obviously)

not trying to troll or anything, but honestly idra's skill level isn't so impressive that you'd overlook his immaturity (or w/e people think it is) and shower him with respect. ever since he played sc1 till even now in sc2, he's hardly shown us anything to command such high respect....well in my opinion that is.

i mean, a lot of people surprisingly hate flash, despite him being one of the nicest people and indisputably one of the most dominant sc players of all time, just because he keeps winning, beating other people's fav players, having a rather non-flashy but extremely stable,solid style, etc. if flash were to behave like idra, the hate level would be so high. yet at least flash has the skill to back it up.

idra is a scrub compared to flash when it comes to skill. no i'm not exaggerating and i'm sure even all you idra fans know it inside your heart. yet the fact that idra gets so much respect even despite his non-impressive play suggests the only reason why idra gets respect is because he is an American progamer who still does better than other American pros at sc. in fact, the only special thing about him is not his play, but the fact that he is an American who can play sc "relatively" well.

imagine MC with all his extremely overconfident attitude and trashtalk without his skill to back it up. well that's exactly idra right there except his trashtalk is much worse. and no i'm not saying having some nationalistic pride is bad here. in fact, i don't mind at all.

it's just that when people say they have much respect for idra, i'm just curious what they are referring to. surely not his play since there are so many players who are much better than idra. maybe not as much in sc2 right now but at least in sc1, definitely.

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


brilliant. the analogy of Idra to esports and eminem to music industry is hilarious and somewhat accurate

Man we definitely need someone to rap some of these Idra analogies. They are just wicked. Slasher, featuring Husky, featuring Nazgul etc. Would be so awesome.

He's "good at macro" when he overdrones and isn't punished for it. He's "unlucky" when he overdrones and gets steamrolled by an early push.

When you look a the larger picture, it would suck major balls to have only mannered people and no BMs T_T

In fact Idra`s BM makes me like him much more than I normally would.

edit: srsly ... mannered Idra ? That would really fucking [b]suck[/b

You guys are being dumb. The reason IdrA's famous is because things like this. He will forever live in infamy. People get so worked up over a little bm. In every competitive sport there has ALWAYS been trash talk. So why are you all crying? Why cant you all just laugh it off and appreciate his style?

1. Awesome. 33% of people play Zerg. Even foreigners.

2. No comments.

3. All foreigners are interesting. Even many Koreans.

4. Like anyone?

5. That's why he is so stupid. He does not appreciate what other people say to him, even those with much experience or are much better players than him.

6. Yeah dude, he's a baller, he Owns people ... * Sigh *

Great reasons.

Idra is Idra
If you hate him then don't pay attention to him
Fans like him the way he is now
He may lose from all ins or cheese plays but he's a solid player and a lot of zerg plays are base on his style
I just laugh it off when Idra BM and find it amusing.
Atleast hes honest and have his own opinions, not like someone (points at you) who act goody goody to gain fame

That's why opinions are great huh? I couldn't care less about you disagreeing with mine, he asked for some reasons why people might like Idra, and i replied ^^
