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!





so win

Damn it I was gonna save my first blog for something special but I'm irritated because of you...

IdrA.

I really like you as a player; you play extremely well and are mechanically solid. Tonight, while taking a break from studying for exams, I was watching your stream. I enjoy it, really.

It was you vs. oGsInca. He went some kind of 4 warp zealots and because (as always) you were too drone heavy, you couldn't stop the attack. After about 15 seconds of trying to stop the attack with the few lings you had, you left the game without gg.

Typical, so I didn't really much of it.

The problem was when Inca messaged you saying "no gg?" or something to that extent, and you replied like a fucking loser nerd with a bunch of excuses. BOO FUCKITTY HOO. You lost... QQ more.

You aren't BM, actually. You're just a kid who can't accept a loss as his own fault. When YOU lose, it just fucking HAS to be the other guy doing something unorthodox that's defined by your so-called "standard" play.

So I switched to Huk's stream for the FIRST time (yeah, your stream was actually the ONLY stream I've been watching) and was surprised that he started off many, if not all, of his games with a "hello, gl hf." Quite pleasant actually.

Simple conventional in-game greeting.

I'm still your fan and I'll cheer for you in games, but you need to grow some balls and become a little more mature. Goddamn, you're supposed to be a fucking professional. If you're trying to set yourself apart by having this "BM" image, I don't think it will get you far. Sure it's giving you all this attention in the short-run, but in the long-run how would that image work out for you?

I don't even know why I'm so raged like this. You're probably not gonna even read this. Maybe it's because I'm such a fan of yours, and it's disappointing to see you QQ like a nerd that you look like.

Hardcore IdrA fans, you can go suck on his penis somewhere else other than this blog. IdrA antifans, you can fuck off too. Go suck on Huk's penis. LOL I noticed so many of IdrA's antifans are on Huk's stream...

Meh... really, really can't believe I wasted my first blog on this. I was going to write about my experiences with Collegiate Starleague

Manner up IdrA. I hope you do well on upcoming tournaments and such. But if you continue being such a pussy about losing, you will become trash.

Be professional. I think you can do it. I'll end with a smiley.


tl;dr
I'd spend more time on your exams - you're clearly retarded here

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)


To venture a guess:
Idra is an underdog. He's a complete outsider in a far away country. When he competes, people from several teams cooperate in making strats to throw him out of the tournament. Idra wears his feelings on the outside, and he's a forum guy, a child of the internet. A lot of people can probably identify with him. Oh yeah - and he's probably among the top 16 SC2 players in the world.

In case any of you were curious, I finished the lyrics to my version of IdrA's Stan and posted them on TL yesterday.

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



That is incredible. If you are any good at rapping, you owe it to yourself to make this a reality.
good luck have batman

Everyone has a different sense of humor. Some people find some jokes hilarious while other people find the same jokes dull and uninteresting.

Shocking!

true, but i'm very easily humored.

i laugh at almost anything.
that's why i'm so surprised.

it's still enjoyable tho, especially reading the re-mixes everyone is making.
i guess it just comes out more smart and witty than laugh out loud funny to me.

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.



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

I've been working as a pirate/sailor for 10 years. Right now I'm managing an entire frigate and managing a team consisting of 72 swashbucklers, 3 whores, and a landscape architect.

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 my days as a young sailor and my early ship raids, I was busting my ass. I was pulling 24 hour days every other week. I took pirating so personally and seriously, I was notorious. I had a reputation for being brutally honest, and talking insane smack about other pirates and their work. I cared a great deal about piracy, and didn't understand anyone who didn't take it as seriously as I did.
