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.


yeah but I think this is just the theory on the surface. i guess its more because of the feelings inside of him. to much anger, huge starcraft ego, less respect for other foreigners. when you can accept a lose and dont have that much bad feelings about it, then you dont need to think and take umbrage of imba ultralisks or lame cheesy play. the more anger you have and the larger your ego is the more one-sided your view gets.

from what comes this stronger anger and the need of a bigger ego in starcraft? sometimes a bigger need in one place also points of a leak in other places and idra left the impression to me that he never gained that much confidence out of things like socialising for instance and that he got generally much negativity inside him in this matter.

regarding this, imo good things for him would be a girlfriend, some love and also offset activities where he also can share community with other people without beeing centred to the goal of just "owning" them all the time. but that are just my thoughts. in the end what he really wants remains decisive. or the other people around him adapt and learn to tolerate his anger moments.

Idra is not only the best foreign player by far but also the funniest. Everyone loves his reactions when he loses. He should lose some more.

Just my opinion about this enduring embarassement.


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.

I totally agree Idra would likely benefit a lot from more positivity in his life. His nerd rage is unsurpassable. Get a gf, get laid, have some good friends, have fun with life, etc. and he won't have as much nerd rage.

He also won't have a career in progaming. Every foreigner who's gone over has failed because they had "a life." Idra has no life and practices all the time so he is doing A-OK! That's what you've got to do to succeed!

I wouldn't say Nony failed... I mean first attempt at courage and got a 2nd! Only one win away from the first! I agree not successful in the sense of him not being a major part of any korean pro-gaming team. But I would hardly say he "failed".

Cuz clearly saying Idra would benefit from more positivity implies we "love playing amateur psychologist / life coach". Nice leap in logic there.

you realize by saying "get a life, gf, have friends, have fun, so no more nerd rage" is basically implying that whoever you're speaking to does not have any of those things and is unsatisfied right? its not simply saying "you should be more positive"

like if i told you, EscPlan9, to get off TL, get a life, more friends, go have fun, get laid, and then maybe you won't be making assumptions or judging others on the internet

are you going to take that as "be more positive"

come on

you're dispensing unsolicited advice (based on some fuzzy bnet chat you saw on a tiny screen) to a guy you've never met and know nothing about. do you really want to talk about leaps of logic?

What does that have to do with anything? This is a serious tournament, not a grudge match. The point and setup of the two are incomparable, to name just one of many levels on which they are different. There is a large difference in the respective meaning of the concept "falling on one's face" (and the inherent results and implications for players involved) between the two.
