LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA. – August 29, 2011. – Evil Geniuses (EG), North America’s premier professional gaming team and a world leader in e-sports, announced today that Greg "IdrA" Fields will be switching to Terran, effective immediately.
“We're confident that Greg will quickly return to being one of the top Starcraft players, both in and outside Korea,” said Scott Smith, CEO of Evil Geniuses. “EG stands firmly behind Greg's decision.”
With the move, Fields will be returning to his roots, demonstrating his mastery of both biological and mechanical macroeconomics, with a defensive, expansion-minded playstyle.
"With the Marine and Siege Tank backbone, along with the game's best mech harass unit and mobile anti-air, there's no doubt in my mind that Terran is the strongest race right now," said Fields. "I'm pretty much only worried about Zerg's burrowed AoE and late-game spellcaster, and Protoss's late-game Robo and Stargate units."
As part of his new training regime, Fields will depart the EG pro house to train in South Korea and seek to qualify for local tournaments. He will not be returning to the U.S. in the foreseeable future. Latency was also a consideration for Field's switch.
"I'm confident that I can switch my skills over, and I think my teammates will be very helpful in training - especially Puma," said Fields. "I think recent results have shown that only Koreans can do well as Zerg...or Terran."
"I look forward to no longer complaining about other races, as the game is already in a pretty balanced state," said Fields. "Oh, and I'll be playing Brood War exclusively."

The day IdrA stops complaining about the game is the same day hell freezes over.
|
I hope people realize IdrA played Terran (BW) in Korea. I thought it was rather subtly clever.
|
Obvious fake from the start :p
I don't know but I really want IdrA to switch races to terran. I would like to see him play another race at a high level!
|
No, but seriously, hope Idra gets his groove back. He's my favorite player, and I was really frustrated this weekend. Figured I'd try to find some humor in the situation. Zerg hwaiting!
