Good casts, SDM was obviously upset (as we all know, I missed the first half though). Did IdrA do more BM? I am curious.

I think the majority of people on here have it right, SDM acted unprofessionally, but so did IdrA, and I'm more sympathetic to the guy who's casting/subsidizing the tournament, and expected a certain level of respect in it.

Allowed or not, there really isn't a good reason to say something like that in-game to begin with. Instead of saying what he said; a more diplomatic "I didn't know what you were going to do" would've probably worked just as well. But considering that IdrA's first two responses in this thread contained the same word that triggered this controversy, I guess that's too much to ask of him.

Shame.

A better question is: "did IdrA do any BM?"

I'd answer yes based on the fact that he swore, but keep in mind
a) IdrA claims he did not know this replay would be broadcast
b) minus the expletive, IdrA was saying something which Tasteless and Daniel said themselves later in the cast (that foreign players are hard to play against because they are unpredictable)
c) Tasteless and Daniel frequently swear in their casts, both GOM and now Valor

Also, think hard about defending Daniel here. Yes he is a supporter and caster of the tournament, but he also abused that position to foist his bad mood upon the viewers and also to slander IdrA. IdrA is obviously far from the worst licensed progamer and I don't think he "begged" for a progaming license as Daniel claims. If you think about it, it's pretty fucked up for Daniel to use his time as a Valor caster to spread misinformation about one of the tournament's players.

Just goes to show how important enthusiasm is to good casting. Daniel clearly doesn't give a shit about the foreigner scene - why is he bothering to cast this tournament. I wish he'd just quit and we could get Artosis to take over...imagine how sick that would be.

Let's put it this way: I'd actually watch live GOM matches if Artosis was casting instead of Daniel Lee.


What a retarded and worthless thing to say. SDM and tasteless put their own time, money and effort into making things like this happen. He was fine on the first couple of games. Only after watching the BM of a kid he brought into the SC pro community did he lose interest. Maybe he was hoping for something from idra....but he will always just be a worthless BM kid.

Daniel pretty much devoted his entire career to the foreigner and pro scene, I don't see how he doesn't give a shit. All this tells me is that Daniel is an emotional guy, which is what makes him such a good caster, since he can be so enthusiastic. Of course, things like this (BM, etc) are the downside.

Actually you're right - it does seem like Daniel is pretty active in trying to bridge the Korean and foreign scenes. His work for SCForAll and with events such as the Spirit Tournament has been really awesome. I was harsh on him in my comment above.

I think the point still stands, though, that Daniel doesn't really care about the foreign scene per se. He doesn't know the players and he doesn't appreciate the skill level. I just think it's unfortunate to see him casting these games when he clearly lacks the passion of someone like Artosis, for example.

Edit: oh yeah, and about Daniel not getting paid, you guys may be right (but I'm pretty sure the prize money came from Starfeeder, no?). In that case, I rescind my comment on that. Sorry.

He didnt know the game was going to best casted so he said "fukkin" i mean theres always that part where daniel and tasteless swear more in 1 show than idra did int hat replay I mean saying ass and shit like that is totally not good and the koreans dont take that bad. Seriously this is just some stupid fucking trolls thats trying to get more people to jump on the "hate idra because he is a little bm" train

seriously grow up

you are completely overlooking the way and attitude Idra said it. SDM took this no-name under his wing to make him what he is today, and then finds out he's just BM and disrespectful. Call it unprofessional, but this is extremely personal.

I think SDM was personally upset because, like a lot of others have said, he took Idra under his wing and made him a "pro gamer," and then he comes to his tournament and acts unprofessionally. I personally think that its a learning experience for Idra. Some people have to learn how to play the game, others have to learn how to interact within the game.

I really had a lot of hope for Idra changing into a foreigner that we are all proud of in his last scforall interview with Artosis, but this has me thinking maybe that it was just a fluke (or a bad day who knows).

Regardless this isn't the first time this has happened, I know it happened during ASL as well.

I agree with your post, and didn't mean to overlook the general tone and context of IdrA's statement. I can totally understand why Daniel would be upset at IdrA swearing, considering their history. I'm surprised at just how upset he was, but mostly just disappointed that he really let it affect his cast. Also, I find it hard to have sympathy for him considering the BS he began spouting about IdrA.
