It was kinda gay that he lost on a map (Tau Cross) that wasn't even in the map pool to begin with.


I guess. But it isn't like the map is unknown to him or anything. Additionally he was a total prick about everything else so I don't feel too bad at all.

Will you guys release replays? I hope so because I missed some of the games, plus Idra/Dinot didn't get streamed.

They were collecting all the replays after the games so I see no reason why they wouldn't be releasing them as they did for Round of 32/16/

Can you imagine the firestorm that would arise if a Korean pro acted in a similar manner to Idra just did? I can't imagine his boss would be happy if he found out. Bad publicity.

This is a salient point but then everyone is always just like "BM makes me happy, BM brings entertainment," etc, so I guess you just accept the foreigner community is different. I'm sure Idra wouldn't do any of that shit in a Korean game, cause he knows what he can and can't get away with while not being punished in any real way.

I'm fed up with this BM shit EVERY TIME he's playing some foreigner tounament. I mean, he want to be a real pro-gamer, train hard and everything. So imho he has to act fair and friendly anytime he's playing. His behavior is just that: unprofessional.

Maybe ban him for some high-priced tournaments so he has some time to cool down and become more relaxed?

Just my opinion about this enduring embarassement.

Idra pretty much participates in foreign tournaments on his own free time, no? So it's safe to say they don't (and neither should they) interact with his progamer career.

I think Idra has a distorted view of what a good player is. A good player is able to exploit his opponents' weaknesses. Idra can't expect people who practice less than him to simply out macro him, out multi-task him. He can't expect 3 hatch mutas into lurkers every game. It seems like every time someone plays a little different to what he sees everyday in his training, it's "CHEESE." I just don't understand it. Cheese is a meaningless word, since everyone has their own definition of what it is. Idra needs to stop blaming his opponents for his losses and find out what HE needs to change to win.

Well, once he learns to scout I think he'll be pretty much unstoppable. Idra if you're reading this, after hearing what lzgamer and incontrol were saying on the stream you'd better send out 3-4 SCVs per game at WCG USA :D

I wasn't questioning his career. Doing a bm celebration like FBH is one thing, but getting stomped and then being bm about it? Come on now. Many good points have been raised which I was hinting at indirectly. He will never get any better if he thinks every time he loses to cheese its because the other player is bad. Idra is a terran pro-gamer in Korea on a sponsored team, why the fuck would a foreigner try and outplay him in the late game? He should have expected a cheese.
These foreigners have been losing to him so much and he is finally defeated and all he does is whine about it.

ZeitgeisMovie sums it up with his last sentence "Idra needs to stop blaming his opponents for his losses and find out what HE needs to change to win."

I don't even think he should be allowed in a forigner/amateur tournament because he is a practicing pro-gamer on a sponsored team.

LOL yeah you were. But you make good points. Cheese isn't "bad" if it gives you a better chance to win. A win isn't inherently better if it comes from a long macro game than if it comes from a quick cheese.+ Show Spoiler +

A lot of the top players are known for being uncheeseable... if you BM every time you are cheesed you will be going nowhere.

Hell no? I'm sure many of us watch the foreigner tournaments just to see him lose. I know I don't speak for the majority probably but I think a good chunk of us are interested just to see the nerd fall on his face to amateurs despite practicing 12 hours a day and devoting his life to the game.

Talk about having a sad life, investing time just to see someone fail. You must be an unhappy person. :|

To add, you could be the best late game player ever, but if you can't get to the late game, you won't be that successful.
