I want to see Idra play some money map games

We're working on putting up a tournament of our top 8 fastest players. Then we'll probably send the winner to play him if he is still up for it. :D

Why are people disrespecting Rekrul and IdrA?

IdrA is really good at starcraft, and Rekrul is really good at poker. Can you at least respect that?

It is true that neither of them are exactly paragons of good manner and kindness, and both of them can be blunt at times, but they're human, humans can be like that.


Don't compare Idra with Rekrul. Rekrul is funny.

Thanks for the interview, interesting read.

Yeah Rekrul has more charisma, and so people find his cockiness funny more often.

I still don't see why IdrA deserves disrespect.


Most of my lack of respect towards Idra is caused by his behavior ingame. I don't see why I shold respect him if he obviously doesn't respect his opponents. He's a really good player, props to him for getting in korea and givena progamer licence but I don't consider this a reason to respect him.


fixed, but basically if you read about the matches between him and f91, or his ingame behavior against strelok(i think it was him), i guess these are some of the reasons that people don't like idra too much.

also, rekrul spices up TL. its funny to read flame wars between him and other people.


He earned the friggin licence by winning the estro tournament and not becuase sdm just randomly gave it to him. Besides what sdm said in the gom cast was just a fit of nerdrage so i would take what he said with a massive truck of salt.

Also Rekrul's sanctioned flaming doesnt add shit to the community it just makes the mods look biased in favor of vets for letting it go on.

lol ya that's for sure, I'd be playing SC no matter where I lived
Yea takes time to get up there we all know yer A caliber lolz
etc...

I mean the interview is about Idra and I don't want to hear the interviewer's responses/opinions... guess I'm just so used to korean interviews now :p

This sums up my thoughts exactly. Nice post

In interviews he always seems like such a nice guy though... Makes me sad

I did the interview ^^ It's the first official interview I've ever done in my life give me a break? But yes you are right with what you say, I've learned from it now that I got to read it.

But the interview was more like a conversation, which is why I was kind of responding. I didn't pre-write questions or anything we just started talking basically and winged it.

Yes of course he played. The ESCW finals in korea were basicly the winner of europe and asia and the america's versus tossgirl ;p

If you look at all the people who tried to get where idra got you will realize, every single notable gamer worldwide (non-korean) played.

Very impressive indeed.
