Haha, Idra's playstyle is fitting only for zerg, so a raceswitch would be nonsence. Idra is macro only. His Unit control is way too poor for playing terran or protoss.

aren't you supposed to hype up good news? i dont see the point in hyping up bad news like player retirement.

Interesting theory. One of many in this 200+ page hype fest


This feels like a good and realistic theory ^^

Just to backtrack a bit and try a different avenue, I was thinking earlier today and came up with the following relation between each of the things mentioned so far:

- Some of the text in the background seems to be related to practice. Practicing one more game, for the fans, etc.
- We know that HuK is renowned for being a practice fiend, and went to Korea to train.
- The name-dropping of QXC, as well as the reference to his all-kill after his training and practice in Korea
- The second MP3 being about advanced training.

While thinking and discussing about "new players" etc, we can't forget that EG, according to Alex Garfield, had big plans for stuff in Korea when they signed PuMa, and didn't sign him just to bring him over here... Seems more and more likely to me that they will be forming a Korean division, and sending some of their players over there to train on/off.

Again, I don't know if that actually is it, I just think this whole EGHuK thing might be a huge red herring distracting us from the actual reveal :p

Just putting this out there.

Idra's last tweet = Goodbye to zerg

All those involved in audiofiles are showmatches with his new race.



Idra to go protoss. That itg episode where Idra was calling toss players retards was all part of the plan.

People in the know have known for months that Idra has been practicing with toss for the last couple of months and is now ready to show what he's got.




That his micro sucks ass? His infestor micro is bad enough, I shudder to think of him trying to use sentries and templar. Macro has always been his strength - possibly his only strength - since friggin BW. Switching to either race which requires 100x more micro would be incredibly weird.

This is actually a common misconception... His unit control is actually fine. It just zerg has little micro they can do.

He played broodwar terran. his micro is fine.

I really hope that idrA is just messing with us t.t

there is no way idra would comment on it, if it had anything to do with a massive EG announcement.. not even a miniscule chance..

Yes, he would.

Don't you remember the TSL? 'What timing' was his tweet about a week before his match with Cruncher was aired... immediately after it was played. He does that sort of thing.

One of the better ones at the very least. It would be an very interesting thing to see. However, at the moment I'm sure only a handful of people know what's really going on and they're not telling anyone.

This thread is pretty funny. So many people spending their day speculating when all you have to do is wait a few hours to find out. Some pretty funny trolls though, like Mr Chae's unintentional one.

Would a countdown timer really needed for Idra just switching races? I mean, it would be pretty big news and all because he is a zerg hero. I just can't think of why there would be this much hype over it.
