Although he's not charismatic, his interviews are probably the most entertaining out of all foreigners.
No I'm never serious.

Very good interview. It looks like Greg isn't that angry-nerdy at all. When he wants, he can answer for a question well.

I'd like to hear what can he say about upcoming stars in Korean scene (like who's going to be the next bonjwa or smth), which progamers are slumping hard, how was it when sAvior went to B-Team and maybe some thoughts about latest games (ZvZ finals, Protosses slumping, Fantasy's era coming...). And, of course, how do the Koreans feel about WCG. For foreigners it's the most important tournament overall, and how does it look like for them?

Why did you select the nickname IdrA?
Its just a made up word with no real meaning.

Questioning the legitimacy of this interview. I remember in another similar question IdrA explained that his name was a shortened version of another word. Anyone care to elaborate or remember?

I seem to recall it being a mispelled Indian God Indra, but I don't remember which interview, exactly, I heard that in

I liked the part where he told us what he thought of foreign players. Incontrol and F91, lol

IIRC Idra wasn't on CJ yet when Savior got demoted and then promoted.
And from interviews I've read some Koreans take WCG really seriously because if they win they'll be representing their country at a global level.

He said in his GOM game against By.Trap that his name was originally some Indian demon Indrage or something but he misspelled it to start with by leaving out the "n," then when he joined a team he shortened it with to IdrA because it looked better with the tag. He then says it doesn't mean anything, consistent with this interview above.

What is your daily routine as a pro-gamer?
It changes once in a while but currently we wake up at 9:00 am, have two hours to wake up, eat breakfast, and shower, then practice from 11:00 till 3:00, then we have an hour for lunch, then practice from 4:00 till 9:00, an hour and a half for dinner, then practice till 1:30 am when we go to sleep for the night.


Holy pig, 12 hours of training. I'd rather die than practise THIS much. Where's your freetime and social life? This is insane.


Thats average imo, image Jaedong before a final match-


Jaedong practices more than pretty much anyone else though, and I think the guys from samsung khan don't practice much more than 8 hours a day
