Idra was angry because he should by rights have won that game. He majorly messed up twice in the late game and got frustrated and rage quitted.

Idra is normally decent manner against Ret. You people are making waaay to much of this. Like you're calling Idra a whining kid when you're all sitting in an internet forum making fun of some teenager who most of you haven't spoken too...


No, a lot of us just generally dislike Idra because despite the fact that he is a very good starcraft player he's terribly bad mannered and just plain arrogant half the time. Because he has fast hands he thinks his shit doesn't stink, so to speak.

problem is when you are making d ships you arent making vessels which are essential to defending/attacking vs hive. Expansions for terran are also incredibly hard to hold. Basically to defeat hive you have to never lose map control because the minute you do its game over ;\

I don't take Idra's bm so seriously, to me he plays it up a little. Takes his natural affinity to be bm and picks it up a little to rile people up. He's the Starcraft equivalent of a "heel" type of person in entertainment wrestling. The heel, the guy you love to hate.

as long as you defend your vessels you don't need to have constant production of additional ones.

its all about skill

Idra will never be something big

partly due to korean pro gaming being so highly evolved compared back to Giyom times
partly due to not being able to accept a lose and always searching stupid excuses..

explain

I think it's pretty irrelevant, besides, blaming your loss on something out of your control is an effective coping strategy, even if it makes you look stupid.

imo any games after then 10 minute mark favor the better player
+ Show Spoiler +
http://www.iccup.com/matchlist/290667/1x1.html

therefore, it wasnt completely out of his control
so wouldn't pretending it was just hurt him later on?

Any game favors the better player...

do you play starcraft? obv i meant any disadvantage he could have had , after the 10 min mark is probably nothing substantial, stop taking my post out of context

Yet he makes more money than most of the progamers. Say he wins this 10k dollars. Add this with that ~7k he already made this year.

I'd say it's quite a good salary for playing a game and talking shit to whoever you want, cuz you had the opportunity and time to benefit from a professional enviroment, while others did not.

he might be really good now but he has to realize sooner or later that he's not the best and he will lose many games.

Labor job in US makes much more than 10k. If you argue that he goes to Korea cause playing sc is fun and being a progamer is his dream, then absolutely fine. But if you argue he's making good money, that's really really really sad.

If anyone his age is making under $40,000-45,000 in the U.S., they did something wrong with their life. I don't put a large emphasis on monetary gain in life, but it is required in order to obtain the life I desire, so I deal with it. Is he doing better than the people playing 5-10 hours a day, making no money? Yeah. But is he a mega pasty with a chip on his shoulder? Yeah, he is. I don't mind his attitude; I find it hilarious. Regardless, he is still completely delusional.

Completely agree, lots of people here are getting way too worked up. Just because idra gets a bit angry when he loses and is slightly BM doesn't mean that he's a complete asshole and can't accept a loss and will never amount to anything. Did FBH and oov ever amount to anything? They sure fucking did.

correct me if im wrong but $17,000 in a year cannot be that bad for a young adult in south korea? whom is already provided for with food and housing? yah...he's certainly making more money than by working at publix lol

I'd say 17k for a year is good, even in the US, if you take into account that you're job is your hobby. And my point was that even though there are a ton of progamers better than him, he still earns more than them, or those foreginers who spend almost that much time, but in a less competitive enviroment (even though they might be more "talented" meaning they were better when they had the same conditions.)
