IdrA to become well mannered
Greg “IdrA” Fields is well known for being bad mannered. He looks down on many players with disdain, and makes no apologies for his harsh and brutally honest criticisms of other players. The Korean scene is especially very critical of IdrA, with the players putting a target on his back, and the fans put off by his lack of manners. Today, in a press conference the so-called “bad boy” of Starcraft 2 has announced that he's decided to turn over a new leaf and become the best mannered Starcraft 2 player.
IdrA's first action after this sudden change in attitude, was to offer a truce to Koreans by changing his name from “Greg” to “Grack.” Koreans often had trouble pronouncing and spelling his name correctly, so IdrA decided to change it to alleviate any confusion and attempt to mend the wounds of his previous bad manners, saying, “I really do care what people think, especially the Korean fans.” Grack also stated that he “would like to become better friends with BoxeR, since he alerted me to this confusion with my name.” He also apologized specifically to BoxeR, saying, “I'm sorry for correcting you on the spelling of my name. It was disrespectful to you, the Emperor.”

Grack “IdrA” Fields promised to “gg” after every game
Next, Grack apologized for playing his race, Zerg. He elaborated by saying that “Mutalisks are ridiculously strong. They're fast, their attacks bounce to 3 targets, and can kill just about anything. I realize now how I've been abusing them, and will reduce my use of them in the future.” Greg went on to say that Hatcheries are way overpowered, so he will try to expand less, since always having an extra expansion on his opponent is “just unfair.” In addition to cutting back on Hatcheries and Mutalisks, IdrA will also cut down on the Banelings as “they do too much damage to those poor, poor Marines.”
Grack continued to reverse his previous statements, by saying that Terrans are perfectly fine. He even dismissed the recent Code S Ro16 race distributions by saying the disparity of 9 Terrans and 3 Zergs is “just a fluke. If anything, Terrans are underpowered. They're forced to make tons of Marines, which have very little hit points, and they have to damage themselves to do any damage. Marauders are weak, too. Planetary Fortresses are so weak, they have to constantly be repaired by 20 SCVs. And MULEs cost way too much energy, you can only get like 4 down at the same time, and 1 MULE doesn't even match the income produced by 4 SCVs.”
Grack ended his press conference with a heartfelt apology.
”Lastly, I would like to apologize to my dear friend, avilo. Your complaints about Terran and TvZ were completely justified. I'm sorry for calling you 'fucking awful', saying 'your micro is bad and you don't know how to macro', and saying you need to 'learn how to play the game instead of being dependent on allins'. All-ins and cheeses are a completely viable strategy and always will be. I may even start doing some myself. I actually built a Spawning Pool before 13 supply earlier today against the AI. It was liberating.”
TeamLiquid.net admins responded to Grack's sudden change of heart by saying they'll still temp ban him every other day anyway, because "it's just too damn fun."

I think he read the title and not the article and quickly wrote something to get the first post. Luckily you quoted him before he changed it, forever immortalizing his mistake.

Nop its all true, from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know how I feel about this either. o___o Kind of weird.
Edit: Oh, this isn't real o__o;; Good.

lmfao soo funny
Idra Fighting !!

lol this was a very good read Troll. haha
Very well written!

Hahaha. The last part about Avilo had me laughing really hard. Well done sir.
|
I always knew there was hope.
|
|
|
i love your blogs man, keep'em coming. must say though, this one has been your weakest to date imo, though still pretty funny
|
honestly thought it was gonna end in "switch to terran"
|
if anyone from the UK reads this it is bound to remind them of our parody newspaper 'Private Eye'
|
If any of this were true, i would have killed myself!
|
so outrageous it couldve been true -_-
|
Thank you for having a change of heart idra! Looking forward to it!
|
Nice shiteatergrin.
I love that you linked those posts.
This series is GREAT!

This is my fav. news source.

This is the one thing I like about the SC2 scene over the BW scene...
Most of the players have personalities that show through. Clide hates Idra, Jinro says whats on his mind, and Idra is the silent person that somehow mastered the CJ face.
The BW scene seems to be full of humble boring drones.
|
Hahaha. Good stuff. The Onion should pay you.
|
This is satire at its finest.
Thanks 
|
Love the Infested Archon series! Another great article!
|
I thought this will end with idra changing race to terran :p
|
Dude apparently a lot of people haven't read your blog before lol, it appears as if you just inadvertently trolled several people :D Anyway fun read.

wasn't Avilo that guy who tried to over-exaggerate roach range increase effect by uploading a replay where equal number of marauders got killed by roaches when they didn't have concussive shells?
or was it some other Terran-Not-OP fanatic
|
haha! great stuff. I dont think many people would like this "new" idrA
|
These get better and better :D

|
I think what Idra said about terrans and how they're underpowered and stuff sounded way too sarcastic to me. I don't really think he'll change much. I hope he does though
|
But Idra... Starcraft needs a villain
|
well he didnt gg to me like a minute ago so there goes that

When are you going to write the followup article: Idra returns to his roots in under 12 hours?

I also think HuK and IdrA share a loving relationship that transcends the trials of unflattering linguistic battery. So, there's that.

I don't find this funny, it feels really forced. Is anyone with me on this one? It's like it could have been good there was something there but it was pushed too hard.

I would have loved if there was some reference to Idra's promise to Morrow

clearly satire. idra would never renege on his promise to tossgirl.
|
Dont change Idra! I need someone to make fun at  ( I kidd.. :)
|
Avilo, lol. Guy had to be one of the worst BW players but still wouldn't miss a chance to lecture people on how to play the game after losing 0-10 to their off mu's (even TVT)... Someone has to fill me in on Avilo vs Idra in SC 2. Links and etc.
|
|
|
|
|
Huk and Idra are both awesome. The back and forth between the two is priceless.
|
Veggta what's the scouter say about his bullshit level?
|
Lol Idra would never stop bming, he needs to to keep all his fan boys. I doubt he would even bm if there wasn't such a public appeal in the SC2 community. Personally I hate the guy and I prefer more humble players.
|
LOL awesome post. Seriously, why do so many people not see its a joke? Stop taking everythign so seriously, lol.
My favorite part: "Next, Grack apologized for playing his race, Zerg"
<3 IdrA

I love it! Continue making 'the onion' style SC news! Keep em coming lol.

If you knew he went same build every game, wouldn't that make it easier to beat him?

Lol. Hello fast expanding every TVP. Hello not being able to beat a strategy once in your life in any mu, even when you know it's coming. PM me some advice on how to do something you haven't done. F'ing sage.

I think I'd cry if this was serious..Haha..Funny though.

the onion should hire your.
seriously!

Very nice read

lol, I knew this was fake when it said he apologized to avilo

You should take my name. I never felt I would keep consistency if I started to release anything.

LOOOL Idra is just too funny :D, huk is awesome though!.
|
Ahaha, just read this today. Completely made my day.
|
Reading this was such a waste of my time
|
Im so gullible I thought it was very thoughtful of Idra to change his ways. And was wondering what made him mature?... OH silly me.
|
Lmfao... i read the title and I was like seriously? Idra turning a new leaf, and I got so excited... and then I read on... and... laughed my ass off.
|
my fav - “I'm sorry for correcting you on the spelling of my name. It was disrespectful to you, the Emperor.”
|
Best part was about the mutas being overpowered and he will reduce the use of them.
Good one.
|
Thank you so much IdrA, you're my hero.
|
Wow. I was scared there for a bit.
Good post though! Reminds me of The Onion, in a way. =]
|
went through all of it, believing every word. I did not figure out that it was fake till halfway through the second page of comments. Good Job
|
I stared at this in disbelief until I got to the part about hatcheries being overpowered...haha great read! Just found the Infested Archon, looking forward to reading the archives and anticipating the next post!

That's where I caught it too.
No sense in trying to make IdrA change his ways, he does what he does regardless of whether you like it or hate it. Thread did crack me up, especially the replies that didn't catch the sarcasm.
|
“I'm sorry for correcting you on the spelling of my name. It was disrespectful to you, the Emperor.”
Thought that was quite good.
|
This thread title almost got me.
|
Great post : ),
Nice little read, I'm too gullible for my own good
|
*sniff* This brought a tear to my eye. Greatness.
Then again, IdrA is actually fairly well-mannered nowadays, lol. He seems kind of like your "average" guy with passion, to be honest.

This was about as likely as Einstein's theory of 2012 where a catastrophic polar shift is to occur at the very end of 2012 due to the allignment of every celestial body in the solar system for the first time in 200,000 years that is long overdue to cause a third ice age just like the previous two allignments have. Still a good troll though.

|
|
Thoughts while reading the title and the first part : Did he finally realize that he needs to change his behaviour *hoping*
Next : Wait a minute ôO ??
Well written, although the disbelief started, when it was mentioned that IdrA wants to apologize for playing Zerg^^!
