I'm definitely the favorite to win the WCG USA". It was too cocky. Although he does get more practice time, he did lose in Spirit, which is totally embarrassing, as well there are several top foreigners that I bet could contest his claim. Even if he WAS, unarguably the best foreigner, you shouldn't be making arrogant statements like these. On top of the fact that he is arguably NOT the best foreigner, this is going to lead to some flames. It's not too cocky at all, it's a perfectly realistic assessment of WCG USA, and nearly every participant in the USA final agrees. | ||

I don't see any arrogance over Idra wether he was a BMer before or not he seems like a normal guy when talking to Artosis. And no he didn't call Poland and Germany dumb, he said the people who think Poland and Germany are the best SC countries, are dumb. Hey Greg, you look tired man, don't overwork yourself that shit can make everything alot tougher. Good luck in CJ, I'll be looking forward to seeing you take down some korean superstars. | ||

Draco said in an interview that he was in the upper half of OGN before he left. Which means anyone that can go toe to toe with Draco now probably has a shot at going 50/50 in the OGN house. JF, Mondragon, Idra, Draco, and Nony right now could all vie for being "better than Draco". In reality, it's all just theorycraft. We're just setting up imaginary matchups between foreigners on good days and Koreans on good days and we could argue for pages and pages over threads and threads. Which we have. | ||

there are lots of koreans who spend years in practice houses and never really go anywhere talent is just as important as practice I dont think you can say that any foreigner will get better than 50/50 after a year spent at the house | ||

Interesting. Well the spirit tourney is going on, whoever wins that gets a shot at being a progamer in korea | ||

Maybe, but lots of people agree with the viewpoint that I stated. I was just trying to explain why some people thought he was too cocky. I don't care if it was a realistic assessment or not, it was rude in my opinion. If you look in this thread, the WCG USA National Finals, you can see that many people put Yosh ahead of Idra, some people put Nony in front of Idra, etc. It's not right to be completely disregarding opinions of others, "I'm definitely the favorite". I wish Idra luck, and hope he does well, as I've said before, but all I want is him to not be TOO confident that he comes off as arrogant and cocky to some people. He should be confident, though. Maybe lots of people don't find him arrogant or cocky in his interview, but if he appears arrogant / cocky to more than 30% of people, there's something that needs to be fixed. | ||

being "the favourite" means the majority expects him to win and they do and no, there is nothing that needs to be fixed. It's a completely healthy mindset and hands down the best one to have when you're doing something like idra's doing - confidence is required. If he's disillusioned or feels unsure about what he's doing at all it's going to chip away at him til he finally quits, like Draco. Do you honestly think he gives two fucks about what a bunch of randoms on TL think of him anyway? There are always going to be haters and there are always going to be sheltered fools who expect his interview to be 100% respectful to everything rather than what he actually thinks | ||

Ok, IdrA IS definitely the favourite to win WCG USA. This is nothing against ANY of the players competing, but simply because some people think Nony or Yosh are more likely to win doesn't make that accurate. I don't see how "disregarding their opinion" comes into it. Those people are wrong. | ||

90% of the korean pro's are 100% boring in everyway. Their interviews for the most part suck, because outside of pro gamming they don't have time to do much. He was doing it on purpose with Dans encouragement. Look at the name of the link. They were TRYING to stirr things up. I feel bad for every moron who actually responded in anger to a MOCK interview. It was done to get a laugh off of you guys! P.S Nony CRUSH HIM PLEASE, if there is any type of meditation or prayer I can say for you just ask, I'm down. Cost him a flight and then join him in korea! | ||

It'd be cool if he had a blog of some sort so that we'd know more about what happens while he practices for these teams. Really interested about CJ Entus style and the people in it. That way we wouldn't have to wait months for interviews | ||
