Yes, Idra. Interview by Fomos.
Idra: "I am happy with my first win."
"My target is to get into the OSL itself."![[image loading]](http://www.fomos.kr/board/interview/1241424476_1.jpg)
CJ's  IdrA, representing America in the Starcraft division of the ESWC Asia Masters held on the 4th of May, defeated the protoss player Krupnyk Oleksii, and got his first tournament win.
The following is the interview with Idra.
- Your thoughts on your win.
▲ I am happy because this is my first win in a competition.
- You qualified through the losers' group.
▲ There were many matches so it was tough, but we played on the maps that I played often on so it wasn't much of a problem.
- You were widely recognized after your entry into CJ. Do you feel that your skills have improved after your arrival in Korea?
▲ Through joining a Progaming etam, I got to practice more and it was because of that that I managed to win today.
- You got your revenge against Krupnyk Oleksii (  White-Ra) whom you lost to in the semifinals.
▲ I think that Krupnyk Oleksii (White-Ra) is the second strongest player in this tournament. I am happy that I managed to get my revenge on the player I lost to before.
- What do you hope to achieve in Korea and when do you think that will happen?
▲ The competition is very fierce so I cannot determine that. However, I will do my best to show good results.
- Your future targets as a progamer.
▲ I want to play in the Proleague and win games, and I also want to qualify for the Starleagues and produce good results. My greatest goal now is to qualify for the Starleague.

Bonus! Netizen's comments!
+ Show Spoiler +- Why does he look so sick? - The next ElkY or Grrrr... ? Looking forward to him! - Bonjwa of Bad Manner. In the previous TL league (TSL), after getting raped by his opponent completely, instead of saying 'gg' he said 'U are Fucking noob. You win by doing stupidest shits. Fuck you." It was so funny. - This guy said in an interview done by one of the foreign English sites that "Jang Min Ru (Super) is a weak version of me. He has okay macro, but he sucks at everything else. As long as I don't lose in build order, I will win." Then after that, when asked about Tossgirl, he said "Even if it is Tossgirl, I would prefer TvP to playing TvT with her." He said White-Ra is the second strongest player, but he says he's much better than him. This guy has some serious BM. - No, he said this in English (I translated the previous one to English, so it's the same), ""U are Fucking noob. You win by doing stupidest shits. Fuck you." Idra has left the game." kekekekkekeke He said this in an actual interview - Isn't this guy famous for being BM? He talked down free in one of the previous interviews. - Who the fuck talks like that? Don't get cocky because you live in Canada. I'll tell you in English, "you mother fucker."
I think that's quite enough =/

Finally, success! Nice interview, now I gotta go check out the games :D

wished the interview was longer, kinda lame that greg gave some cookie cutter responses though  !
ah well.

Seems like Idra has a lot of plans for the future, hopefully he'll start showing better results from now on.

I already translated them, and the rest were pretty much similar to what I've posted
|
ha ha funny, bonjwa of bm :D
|
Jang Min Ru is the cineese player Super, as far as i can tell, and Idra said he's a mini version of him because he does the same builds all the time, he said nothing bm there
I just defended Idra? WTF?
|
oh shit! the netizens know about his bm! lol
|
lol Netizens rule! Grats Idra!
|
Jang Min Ru is Super (Chinese Terran that Idra defeated in the tournament) I believe. At least, that's who Idra was talking about in the interview the netizen was referencing. Sure did twist his words around a bit though!

I think part of being a progamer is giving absolute empty and thoughtless comments in an interview. IdrA is truly learning in korea
^_^
CONGRATS ON THE WIN GREG
In NY I'm going to teach you how to give an interview so you can be famous for more things!

Congrats IdrA!!!
LOL NETIZENS
"Why does he look so sick?"

I'm wondering if it's the interviewers' poor question choice or if it's just what they decide to put on their site rather than what the player actually says
|
im kind of surprised they know about what he said about free.
i dont think he said it in an interview but rather just in a live report thread a long time ago
|
- Your future targets as a progamer.
▲ I want to play in the Proleague and win games, and I also want to qualify for the Starleagues and produce good results. My greatest goal now is to qualify for the Starleague.
really? Who would have guessed! thanks for clearing this up

What did he say?
|
i don't remember exactly but i'll try and summarize it.
free was playing a proleague game and he went for an attack that worked out really well and people on TL went crazy like they normally do. Idra said that free isn't that good and attacks at really bad times, he just looks good when it works. Kind of like the "a broken clock is right twice a day" saying.

Probably that free would destroy IdrA with his "terrible" gameplay. o.o

Can't wait to see free vs Idra on PL someday
|
i think some koreans that rot with gg.net "community" and feed off the idra hate along with most gg.net retards actually spread those comments on sites liek fomos. It's definitely not your average korean fan that knows about TSL, its one of the freaks that goes through all the trouble to give Idra some bad rep

Some koreans speak english, the word spreads, that´s just the way it goes. No need to call people names over that. In the end Idra brought that upon himself.

Either those netizens are trolling, or the language barrier is hurting IdrA's image (not nearly as much as his bm).

haha the netizen comments are usually my favorite part of the articles. konadora your translating work is awesome, I stopped watching as much pro starcraft as ive been pretty busy but I almost always read your interviews. any netizen comments for anything you want to translate is always appreciated thanks bro

Someone translated those comments earlier in another thread in a ;less harsh fashion weird seeing two interpretations of the same comments.

Dunno why everyone thinks netizen comments are so funny.
It's just a bunch of 13 year old nerds who talk trash on the internet.
Talking like that on TL is insta ban, which is good, because it's just retarded.

well it's funny to see how people in Korea also think/say the same things as we do ;o and also that some of them are as misinformed, if not more, than some angry TLers.
but yeah too much idra hate even in korea D:

I'm just surprised they hoped on with the group of TL members that BM IdrA.
|
they're really harsh on korean progamers too, so when the worst ones are cherry picked , it's gonna be especially bad.
Beats me how bad it really is, would've been interested to know if there were any comments calling those other negative ones out, etc.
|
I was trying my best to root for Idra since he's the only foreigner left in korea... but his bm just put me off completely, it would be nice to see a player bm in a funny way once in while, ie:Firebathero style?
But idra is just trying his best to get everyone to not like him by acting like a total jerk. to be fair though, he's a pretty good player.

The video interview with Artosis is great. <3 Greg. GO FIGHT :D!

Actually if I recall correctly it was a terrible attack with really POOR goon micro on Free's part.
Then Idra said Free had terrible goon micro that game (which was true) and then he got flamed cause you cant criticize people better than you apparently.

Unless you're not a serious gamer, then you can do anything. You lose rights as you move up.
