Steve Jobs made billions by putting an MP3 player on a portable hard drive, Idra makes thousands by insulting people while being inferior to basically every Korean in his career field.

Goes to show...?

I see a point there! It stands for me.

I think that Idra can do something else for a living, but he want to stay in SC2. Doing what you love for a living means that you can do it well. That's the case with Steve Jobs and surelly there are many other people you have done the same. Surelly Steve Jobs have done something remarkable, but this doesn't mean that a failure wont make you better. And this is the point that YouthSC is trying to make here.

Well, maybe Idra will get better than he was before, maybe not. The point here is that he has change in a better way after leaving EG, not that he will definately become one of the best again.

You can claim, that they didn't do anything worthwhile, but you can't claim, that they didn't do anything.
In other words: It goes to show, that people can play a role in their respective fields, even if there are other people who don't like it at all.
All is fair in love and war. Starcraft is both.

Steve Jobs ended up returning to Apple after leaving. For this to work, Idra must also return to EG.

To be fair, if he did suddenly start posting amazing results and "reformed" his behaviour would it really be that surprising if he did return to EG?

It wouldn't surprise imo but I think he's satisfied with who he is

Steve Jobs says how, when starting over with Pixar after being fired from Apple, he was once again "unsure about everything", and how "the heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again." He said it freed him to enter one of the most creative periods of his life.

Could this be what is happening to he who once was the capital ship of foreign e-sports?


I don't know what other conclusions to draw.

How about the release of pressure from all the expectations of them after being fired by their employer leading them to getting back to their roots and rediscovering why they enjoy doing what they do, and being better at it because of this.

For jobs this was creativity, for Idra it's whatever idra enjoys... probably playing less and not being "the great white hope".

Michael Jordan wasn't picked for his high school VARSITY team, but he played JV ball his freshman year. He made varsity the next 3 years though. As an avid fan of basketball since 1990, your comparison of idra to MJ is the most insulting thing anyone can/has/or would say about MJ.

What a sensationalist title and comparison just to draw eyeballs.
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.

I am not comparing Michael Jordan and IdrA, or IdrA and Steve Jobs. If you had read the article fully, understood it, and then read the thread maybe you would've reached this conclusion, like a few others have.

Truth be told, pretty much the same thing happened to the three of them, and in two cases, they did better after being shut down from what they were expecting. The article is how about IdrA might be similar to that.

I don't really get how you people don't understand this, or how you get offended, for that matter.
