The scores at the end were really close, like kills and losses. Idra had a better score by a few thousand. The Rax block with the two tanks was epic. Idra was just a little too late with wraith defense. Cool rep. | ||

His lack of game-sense and overall lack of BW skill, is one thing, but we aren't picking on him for that, we are picking on him because of his bad manner. It just makes it more sweet that he gets so far ahead in a TvT, and STILL cant win vs "an inferior foreigner".. I repeat, if this was someone like Nony or Strelok, who might not be as good as the Bisu's and Flash's that we watch everyday, so we can clearly see their mistakes when watching Nony/Strelok, we wouldnt talk about them in a bad sense because they are MANNERED and dont make excuses for their loss, but rather they learn from their losses and respect all opponents, even if they aren't in korea. Idra just badmouths everyone and thinks hes so superior due to living in Korea, yet he has never been able to beat any foreigner in any showmatch since living in Korea to back up his big mouth. You see differences in play because you see completely different situations. Just because you see one thing happening doesn't mean you understand why or how the player is doing it, so you could be blatantly wrong in your belief because you are applying half-assed concepts to an unrelated game. Also your vicarious eye-for-an-eye morality is juvenile at best. | ||

Everyone agrees that Idra is a bm bitch who can't take a loss, and reacts very badly to one...but I mean...then there are two camps that are arguing against each other: The one side that can't stand him for it, and the other that thinks it's funny and amusing and adds drama to the scene. I think his bm has gotten to an absurd level where I can't help but laugh it off...after all, it's not like I'm ever going to play him, so it hardly affects me personally. While it's disappointing, I think ppl spouting off and flaming really just need to get over it. Expectations are high because he's the only active foreigner in Korea, and the only one with a progaming license, but still...after a certain point, it's just better not to care. | ||

It's basically common knowledge that the above is a very silly argument. It doesn't even need any further explanation. Yet still many people still use it. I've seen ALL OF YOU critisize (real)pro-gamers once in a while. And those are waaayyy better than IdrA. Which btw. is a fact.(Just to add to all the talking about what's fact and what is not) Yet you want to prohibit people from critisizing IdrA's play? Wtf? For the record: I haven't even watched the game, nor have I anaylized it. This post is solely about the argument itself, not if the individual analyses of IdrA's play/mistakes vs. Strelok were correct or not. The argument is that your inferior understanding of the game makes most critiques you have meaningless to a player of a greater caliber, in THIS game. Other games/sports, there are exceptions. | ||

You don't act like a douche while performing your job especially not in public for all to see. The nature of his job is that he's a representative for the brand CJ so it's even more important he not act like a jackass because it reflects badly on them. | ||

It is possible to see a mistake even if you would have made the mistake yourself, and criticize the person for it in a game like starcraft. Like just recently Bisu vs. Fantasy on RotK there was a wraith that was supposed to defend the Reaver harras but Fantasy didn't use it. Are you saying a n00b like me can't say "that was stupid Fantasy should have used that wraith." (Note: the wraith wasn't doing anything either so it was defiantly a mistake). I couldn't have defended as well as fantasy did, but that doesn't invalidate my criticism. I think you confuse criticize with insult, one is a comment the other is a put down. | ||

Let's ignore the fact that to read the comments you have to know English, and go on this English website, and that to buy CJ merchandise you most likely have to live in Korea: Husband: Honey, let's buy some of this rice. Wife: No way! Husband: Why not? Wife: That's CJ brand rice! Some guy on their Entus team in StarCraftz got mad for losing a game, so he cursed at the other guy! Husband: But we all do it from time to time, what's the big deal? Wife: Well, obviously, since he is a public figure, his performance/behavior reflect the company's reputation, so their products must also be bad! Even I'm smart enough to know that his urchin antics have no effect whatsoever on the actual product itself, however. ^ I would kill myself if things actually worked like this in the proscene. | ||

Okay, now read this again: "your inferior understanding of the game makes most critiques you have meaningless to a player of a greater caliber" What criticism have you just made that is of any benefit to anyone? You just said that the sky is blue and that shit smells like shit. Congratulations, you pointed out an evident flaw in a player far superior to you, thus making you look like a nitpicking ass. | ||

He is the model of the 'kid who spent his life in a basement' image that people who play games have been trying to shrug off for 2 decades now. Pure gaming poison. | ||

1.Let's suppose Idra is able to think and make logical decisions. 2.then logically he has to recognize his own hot temper, and big mouth. (1) 3. if can recognize his weakness, logically he can avoid scenarios in which he exposes these weaknesses. (example: train himself to stop opening mouth when enraged)(both 1,2) 4. he does not attempt to hide his weaknesses(bad manner) (fact) 5. which means that he is intentionally Bad mannering everyone he plays, since he is logically making the decision to be BM.(3 and 4) 6 Which means Idra's true intension is to alienate the foreign community and everybody that is not within his CJ team, and he does not care about what the foreign community thinks. (5) Is Idra immature or is he trying to alienate everybody? since he kept posting on teamliquid means he wants attention from teamliquid community, which also means he want acceptance from the foreigner community. Therefore in my opinion the theory of an immature idra is more logical than the theory of I don't give a shit about foreigner community | ||

Other games/sports, there are exceptions. But that's wrong too. Just because someone is worse at playing it doesn't necessarily mean his understanding of the game is inferior. Otherwise you could fire most korean starcraft commentators. There's more to playing Starcraft than just an understanding of the game. APM, Reflexes, Multi-Tasking, on the spot thinking, management, control, etc. You name it. I'd argue that e.g. a lot of the teamliquid staff have an understanding of the game equal to a korean progamer even if they don't play as well as one. | ||
