IdrA you need to stop slouching, and show some go damn confidence! You are living the god damn dream of many of us foreigners. You listen to artosis and smile
And I think people should stop to tell him what he should do and what not. He is not responsible to live a dream for other people who like to see a charasmatic brad pitt who plays in the name of all of them. To this confidence thing: Sure people need to have confidence. But confidence is not about all time mentioning, having smart thoughts or playing the big boss in front of the camera. Either you got it in you to a certain extent or not. You get it by the routine and positive recognition. Not by the fact that people always try to mother you around or you need always to take a role to satisfy others.

So IMO the first step is that people should accept the fact that he is in first place more a shy person irl. Especially friends and those who are around him. Applied to that video I think its positive when people are around you and distract you a bit with fun talk like the DT stuff when you are nervous about a big upcoming event. But to often all this eye of the tiger and questioning my confidence stuff would annoy me when I would be in his place.

Thank you very much for recording these videos Artosis. I've been weighing the pros and cons of a trip to Seoul these last few days and you've really tipped the scales for me in favour of going.

Congrats to IdrA on living the dream. I think everyone who visits this site would love to be doing what he's doing, if only for a while. I'd love to see him increase his "star quality". It shouldn't be hard amongst the sea of inanimate micro machines. We've seen in the past that it only takes a wink to cause waves amongst the fans.

Wow he doesn't even speak Korean very much. Must be quite a life he's living.

Good luck on learning some more Korean and improving your starcraft play IdrA!

Do you really envy him? I read a lot of posts say how he's living a dream and all that. But seriously, how many people actually want to play starcraft 24/7? Not to mention using the same build over and over.

TBH, I'm pretty impressed Idra managed to stick in Korea for as long as he did. I personally would've gone off the deep end after 2 weeks.

its like most other sports, dont you practice something over and over? the point of that its for it to become second nature, once that happens and u can do things without thinking about them you can have fun and whatnot, and improvising in game of course which is key for any sport

We all play or have played starcraft. We played it because it was fun, and so we played it even more. Idra played it so often, that he got really good, and was offered to be given money to play the game. Play a fun game and make money doing it? Hell yes, that sounds awesome right?

Well for a while, it is awesome, it's like "I'm making $20 for playing this game". But then, it gets to the point where you stop playing it because its fun, but instead like a job. You begin to lose the idea that the game is fun, and you concentrate more about the money.

Confidence is not something you either have or not. It is something you can learn, and gradually gain. You have to be comfortable with who you are. In every video I have seen of Idra he seems to be really quiet, and speak really fast with short answers. Then when I played a few games against him, he seemed to talk a lot more. It gives me the impression that he has low self esteem. This is not something that "you either have or you don't". Sure in this video, he seemed to be really nervous, even when he claims he's not. So that can definitely factor into a bit of how he acted.

But now, that he has made it to be on TV, he can calm down a little bit. Hell, he already made it. He made it onto TV in Korea. There's nothing to be shy about, or nervous, or have low self esteem. He can relax, calm down, and realize that he is living his dream, of going to Korea and playing televised games against top tier professional gamers.
