Wow guys, Raelcun obviously put a good chunk of time and effort into the OP. Constructive criticism is fine; but if you don't like it then don't read it, otherwise show some respect.

I have a guide too. I call it TheToast's guide to beating Idra.
Step 1: Hallucinate Void Rays.
Step 2: Laugh maniacally as Idra GG's.
Step 3: Profit.


PS: Rael next blog please do one on how to draw ponies.

Yeah, I might consider putting a bunch of time and effort into it with the hope of helping people. And then someone could come and shit all over it followed by a legion of sheeple making annoying comments about how funny it was. That would be great.


The real lesson here: ban IdrA from your blogs.

Yeah, I might consider putting a bunch of time and effort into it with the hope of helping people. And then someone could come and point out that I've actually no first hand experience of being a comedian, making me look rather foolish.


Glad we cleared that up.

This is so perfect. The essence of wit, satire, and sarcasm, all compressed into a single sentence without capitalization and punctuation. It makes the reader stop for a moment, and think about what it means.

It is glorious.

Thank you, IdrA.

People who don't want to be a pro read this guide and get better.
People who want to be a pro don't read this guide and eventually give up.

The best teachers are not always the ones who have reached the same point. Mindset and discipline apply to all things, regardless of what it is. If you wanna be the best, you gotta work towards it. Raelcun doesn't presume anything or try to use his ability to forward his point, nor is he trying to give any very specific advice. He suggests that you work on specific areas, but he doesn't say exactly, "oh you should use this build" or "you should use this training regiment". What he's giving is the basics of the basics. The dirty truth, which is that if you want to be the best, you're gonna have to sacrifice a shit ton and give it more than your best.

Where Raelcun is arguing that attitude and mindset is everything, Idra is showing yet again why he will never top the Koreans.
