trashing everyone is an option when you're that ridiculously good nobody could possibly compete against you. Like a 3k diamond smacking bronze/silvers.

Idra isnt, he's just a progamer like many others. So he's nothing more than an enraged tool we all like to laugh at from time to time

I wonder how many people immediately listened to Stan by Eminem after this ;d

Also, there are way worse BM people than IdrA. IdrA is just a ragekid, but he's far better than NaNiwa, who's also on the verge of becoming a pro, but has the manners of a 13 year old XBox live kiddie.

it's funny because no one other gaming community in the world would care half as much as the sc community, which is a bunch of people who act like idra does all the time in real life/in other games etc, then they come to sc and it magically changes because they're conforming to the ridiculous standard of 'be a complete robot, never say anything but "glhf" and "gg" or you're Bad Manner' (who the hell invented the term "Bad Manner" anyway? christ, say "asshole" or "dick" or "cunt")

LOL, great first post. People need to stop talking about IdrA being manner or not, that's not what this thread is about. This thread is about kikimama being a baller and/or IdrA-Eminem songs.

I'm going to put on my old man hat here.

I've been working as a designer/illustrator for 10 years. Right now I'm managing a multi-million dollar project and managing a team consisting of five design firms, a landscape architect and two architects.

I'm not qualified to opine about IdrA's gameplay or strategies, but I have an opinion about 'professionalism' in general that's worth considering.

The thing is, I WAS AN IDRA. All throughout school and my early career, I was busting my ass. I was pulling 24 hour days every other week. I took design so personally and seriously, I was notorious. I had a reputation for being brutally honest, and talking insane smack about other designers and their work. I cared a great deal about design, and didn't understand anyone who didn't take it as seriously as I did.

And while people respected me, I slowly started to notice that people didn't want to work with me.

IdrA restricts most of his BM on the ladder, but I think it helps to realize who IdrA is laddering against. This isn't Darkforce1879 or BronzeRandom2938. He's laddering against OGS's. Fou's. Primes.

Whether he likes it or not, these are his peers and colleagues. The ladder might as well be the office he works at, every single day.

And he's calling them faggots and telling them to fuck off whenever someone zealot rushes him.

Great for the fans. Bad for his career. If I talked about people in my industry the way IdrA does, I'd be considered unemployable. People wouldn't touch me with a ten foot pole.

Now, let's imagine [knock on wood] that something happens to EG. They have a bad year and they implode. Shit happens. What team is going to pick up IdrA?

Team Liquid? They share a house with OGS.

FXOpen? They just started a week ago.

Root? FNATIC? They already have great players they can't afford to send to Korea.

There are 32 S-Code players in the world. That's 32 jobs, 32 people on the same level as IdrA, 32 people that make a living playing SC2 full-time. We like to pretend that the SC community is huge, but most of us are on the outside looking in. The community of players and commentators that make a full-time living is actually very small.

Now, I'm not saying IdrA should change, or not be 'honest'. But there's a difference between being honest and indulging yourself for shits and giggles.

The only benefit IdrA gets from telling someone to fuck off is those two-seconds of self-satisfaction after you say it.

Meanwhile, he's torching relationships with people that he competes with, day in and day out.

Trust me, it's not worth it.

--

Also, consider this: perhaps the reason why players rush him isn't because they're 'bad' -- it might be because they don't want to help him practice, win or lose.


He only BM in ladder. Although he does talk Pessimistically IRL, he doesn't BM IRL, just when he is chatting online. He has paid his substantial contribution to society by not BMing when he talks to people facetoface. Advising him to stop his BM completely is practically telling him to live a lie. He has self-respect, his a non-conformist, the only person who dictates how he should live is himself, as it should be.


Then, Idra is a troll?

I am well aware of the eminem choon, but I didn't lol in the slightest when reading kikimama's post? I don't get what's so funny about it.

Anyway, yeah, IdrA is pretty damn whiny and bm. Has anyone seen that game on Husky StarCraft's page with Huk + IdrA when he's like "!@#$ this game" and leaves without gg?

Yeah, pretty lame.

You're right my friend.

IdrA's ability to refrain from calling people faggots to their face is a tremendous achievement, and should be commended. I had forgotten how much determination and dedication that takes.

Personally, it took me years to mature to this point. I was sitting at home, listless, trying to figure out what to do with my life, and realized, "You know what? Maybe I'll do the world a favor and not call anyone a faggot today. I'll just keep it online, where I interact with my professional peers and colleagues on a regular basis."

By the way WORLD, you're welcome.

In addition to giving people the gift of not calling people faggots, I have never been arrested or gone to prison. I think both IdrA and I deserve far more recognition for this.

IdrA is a rebel and revolutionary. A spiritual and trangressive force that should not be tamed. Suggesting that he refrain from telling people to fuck off, in order to protect his own reputation and long-term interests, is an untenable, unreasonable compromise. That's not IdrA being unreasonable. That's SOCIETY being unreasonable.

He is the spear tip of the vanguard, and I apologize for not recognizing his hot-new-style and challenging avant-garde views.

By the way, can I interest you in some Intel/Steel Series/Bigfoot Network products?

Dear johnlee, I meant to write you sooner but I just been DND.
You said you're studying for exams now - you're quite a nerd, I see.

Look, I really don't care you'd turn off my stream
So here's TLO's url if you can't stand me being mean

I'm glad I didn't see you at MLG Dallas, must have missed...who?
Sometimes I do that shit just do diss all-inners like you.

But what's that kind of shit you said about me droning too heavy, too?
I'm no fucking 6pool, c'mon - how all-in are you?

You got some issues johnlee, I think you need some gosucoaching
To make me teach you for 150$ an hour to stop your all-in.

And what's that shit about us meant to 2v2 together?
Your kind of "build" will not make me want to all-in forever.

I really think your SCVs and your base need each other
Or maybe you just need to split them better

I hope you get to read this PM, I just hope it reaches you in time
Before you lose all your macro, I think that you'll be doing just fine
If you sit back a little.

I'm glad I inspire you but johnlee,
Why are you so mad? Try to understand, I don't give cheesers the gg

I just don't want them to do some crazy shit
I seen this one shit on TL couple hours ago that made me sick

Some noob was pissed and opened up a thread about me being scum
Already had 242 post, talked about Huk being mannered typing gl&hf

But couple of pages later he just vanished and in his outbox they found a PM but they didn't say who it was to
Come'on think about it, his name is....it was you!
Haha!

I think IdrA will never be as good as he could be until he learns to accept defeat and failure.

In this world, success is valued so much that people tend to think that they are only cared or loved if they succeed. If one believes that to be true, every competition becomes a lot more serious because being worth of receiving attention is at stake. The fear of failing and not receiving what one needs crumbles the ability to play to the fullest. When one has combined success with being cared and loved then not succeeding becomes something unbearable. One way to deal with this unbearable feeling is to deny defeat and failure. I think this is the case with IdrA.

Dear Mr. Im-too-good-to-gg-my-ladder-opponents,

I can't macro for shit, I can only 2-racks perfect.

So this is my PM I'm sending you, I hope you read it
I'm in Zotac cup right now, grabbing my scv's and muling and shit.
Hey Grack, I just finished my orbital, dare me to cheese?
You know that build by Foxer from GSL 2 finals?
About that guy who could have played standard?
But didn't?
Then Zergbong saw it all then in the finals, he stomped him?

You could have stopped me from all-inning
Now it's too late
I'm on my 50th ladder game today, I'm tired
I hope you know I stopped posting on your facebook wall
I love you Grack, we could have 2v2'd together
Think about it.

You ruined the game by BM'ing, now I hope you do some HyperX vid about it,
And when you plug your sponsors, I hope you can't get my cheese off you mind
I hope you fail in GSL and you can't make 87k without me,
See Grack, SHUT UP HOT BID, I'M TRYING TO TALK
Hey Grack, that's Artosis in the back, saying Scrap Station is T-balanced
But I didn't bitch, I just knew he was trollin', see I ain't like you
Cuase I'd rather watch Huk, he starts his games of with hi, have fun
Well, gotta go, time to watch Huk play select's crew
Oh shit, I forgot, Huk BM's ZeNEX members too.


This better be in the vid if one is being made.
