well first of all let me say that idra's progression so far is better than comparable to any other player who was at idra's skill level when they started, given the same timeline. what we've seen today was a vast improvement over the idra that went to estro so many months ago.

talking to idra on msn after these games, he knows exactly why he lost, and he is not making excuses. thankfully he isn't paying any attention to all the naysayers who don't realize it won't be all sunshine and rainbows your first year in korea, starting as a decent nonkorean terran.

the people who like to talk shit about idra because he's bad manner are fucking stupid. you aren't fans of the game, you're drama-mongering little shits, and you need to back the fuck off. idra's bad manner, we all know, he knows too. he describes himself as 'an angry little nerd'. he doesn't give a shit. when he wakes up in the morning he goes to his practice area with the sole intent of becoming a better player than he was the day before, and he is progressing on that line.

my msn conversation with idra was full of praise for trap - the kid played a hell of a game and countered idra's prepared builds very well. he's no pushover, this is a guy who had some savage one-sided wins during his osl prelims group. this is the level of competition idra has to win against, he realizes these aren't newbies that he would only lose against if they cheese or whatever bullshit people assume idra thinks about this game.

idra is wholly dedicated to progaming and he is making real, tangible improvements on a daily basis. the tvp he played tonight was leaps and bounds above what any other terran outside of korea is capable of - coaches from other teams were legitimately impressed and commenting on game 1 as 'the best foreigner play ever'. i think maybe they know more about this than you do.

in short: everyone needs to stop giving idra shit because he's bad manner. he is trying harder than any of you can possibly realize, is making real progress, and has just as big a chance as anyone currently in his position, korean or otherwise, of making it big in this game.

the reason i called you stupid is because you said something about players only improving mechanically when they become progamers which is the DUMBEST shit i've read around here in at least a week. i'm sorry you don't comprehend the life of a B team progamer. don't be misguided enough to think you are in any way qualified to assess idra and his potential as a progamer.

idra fucking fighting, fuck the haters

So...like I asked before, FakeSteve I was wondering how are you involved in progaming? Also are you Korean?

It's good for idra that he is improving and showing it to more people than just himself, but that's not how you build a solid fanbase and a future as a progamer. He might be happy with fakesteve as his ol buddy being legitimately proud of him but that doesnt change the fact that he has and is acting like an ass at times. I don't care if he "roflmao" wins an OSL, he is still BM and I will still not respect him as a player, and if doesnt change his personality drasticially I will never do. And I believe this is why alot of people "hate" him and won't appreciate the effort he is giving starcraft, with his attitude it just won't cut, even if he is putting up the results. (well this is pretty much very old news but w/e im still posting this *kekeke*)

Yeah, I'd have to agree here.

I think calling Idra out because he is bad manner is legitimate; It doesn't mean we aren't true fans of the game. In fact, I would argue that it is because we are true fans of starcraft and the community that we want someone well-mannered and likeable to represent the foreigner community. I mean, blatantly talking shit (at this point) about him is unnecessary. He does have many qualities that other foreigners don't have, such as dedication.

With that said, I'm actually very glad he's making progress, and I find myself rooting for him these days
