Surprised so many people want idra to retire lol.

He's popular, but he poisons the community. I'd be happy to see the back of him. Not like he's some great talent we'd be missing out on - ordinary b-teamer in BW, nowadays ordinary b-teamer in SC2.

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.

They micro infestors and he's absolutely terrible at it...he also tends to lose units randomly for little reason and such. Unit control is one of his weakest aspects without a doubt.

you know he played terran in BW right

BW Terran is really different compared to SC2 Terran

Yes, its even harder, takes even better unit control and much harder macro. if he could play at a top level in bw with terran, sc2 terran is a cake walk

He didn't play at a top level.


At least he's consistent, folks.

EG.Destiny seems like a strong possibility, but none of the clues seem to point to it. Are any of you conspiracy theorists skilled enough to fabricate a link to Destiny using any pieces of the information provided?

Destiny didn't want to be truly involved in the pro-scene though I thought? It seems too soon for him to just jump on board with a team, even though it's EG.

I think he just didn't like some of the terms of the coL contract, not sure exactly what those terms were though. Since EG is all about image and hype, and signing Destiny would essentially be like purchasing /r/starcraft, it seems like a good move. Plus, Destiny just beat Inc in a show match, so he's clearly got the chops to roll with them.
Elaborate euphemisms may conceal your intent to kill, but behind any use of power over another the ultimate assumption remains: "I feed on your energy."

Destiny is only second to Spanishiwa when it comes to best Zergs in the world. EG picking him up seems logical.


LOL! Since when are Destiny and Spanishiwa better than Nestea?

Who the hell is Nestea? I've never seen him play at MLG or IPL.


If he doesn't even play in the big tournaments, he can't be that good in that first place.


You are a galavanting idiot. Here: http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Nestea#Achievements


HOW can you be trolled THIS EASILY?!

it will be a team in GSTL consisting of:

HuK
White-Ra
Naniwa
SelecT
IdrA
possibly more


That would explain a lot.

guys.. what if..

Idra is race changing to Protoss. Getting trained by HuK, whitera and other top top level protosses and it's all going to be streamed on onemoregame.

BOOM. Every clue fits.

1st audio file = HuK
2nd = Whitera
3rd = another pro etc..


Wow this actually makes a ton of sense. Especially since Gomtv started project A.

Not like it would make a difference. Within a week there'd be bitching about 1/1/1's and roach/ling all-ins, and endless threads about how Protoss is broken because you can't scout effectively because observers have too little HP, aren't cloaked well enough and are too slow.


Lol, you do realize half the stuff he says are just emotional anger towards losing right? Like I said earlier, most people at some point in their SC/SC2 careers have been annoyed about something and called it bullshit or imbalance. It is just emotion, Greg just shows more than other people in tournament settings.

Well yeah everyone gets pissed at times and vents at something, publically or not. The difference is Idra really does believe these things. Latest example being blink stalkers. He genuinely seems to believe you can't beat them, and consequently he falls apart anytime decent uses them on him.

Because he needs to practice with White-Ra since he will be switching to toss.
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

If HuK joins EG i will cry. How could he leave Liquid after all the opportunities they have given him and all the success he has achieved with them. T_T

lol. Some people are so ridiculous...

In any event, this certainly is popcorn worthy fun thus far. Lots of trolling going on.

Let me guess, your objection is that I called him ordinary?


Nope. I can definetely see how somebody wouldn't be impressed by his play in BW and the last few months of SC2.

So the poisoning the community part? Idra obviously isn't shy about expressing his negative views about SC2 in general and Zerg in particular, and I think that's seeped into a lot of the conversation involving Zerg. Which is bad, because his views are extremely hyperbolic and, well, influenced by his ordinariness.


Believe what you wish. Personally, I'm not going to blame one person for the stupidity of a lot of other people... If you want to, go right ahead.

But, ridiculous. This thread isn't so fun when people like you are around. Peace yo~.
