why doesnt idra release a story on how he became a pro
he's said it numerous times. he played bw casually on "fastest possible map" and eventually got good enough to be recognized by teams and tournaments and he did well in those and it just went up from there. I don't think idra started out thinking "i'm going to go pro." it just sorta happened because he's that good.
Dunno if he played much FMP in Broodwar. I know he used to play 2v2 NR20 ZC maps. Basically mass money maps where you build shit for 20 minutes then attack endlessly, was pretty ridiculous. But yeah, before Idra ever started playing regular maps, he played those. After that as far as I can tell he just played BW alot and got pretty good at it, up to the point where he won a tourney to join the eSTRO house. Thats basically his SC1 career for the most part before he technically became a progamer.

What's the link to the talk?

Passion is what leads to the development of skill. Jaedong wasn't born with godly muta micro. If you don't have passion, you're never going to be able to put in the work required to become a top player.

jaedong poured his passion into getting good though not spending time thinking about going pro and blogging and posting vids on TL

if passion led to skill, everyone on this site would be a whole lot better. Jaedong and every other halfway decent pro ever already had displayed plenty of skill before deciding to drop out and quit their job to go pro.

Idra's approach to macrogames and such all of a sudden makes so much more sense

If jaedong wrote about it at D+ level, that's nowhere close to being pro yet, even I had an account at C+ / B - and that's not even remotely close to being good compared to good ppl.
