I think it's pretty obvious by now that idra proposed to his girlfriend, who turned him down. idra then went mad with rage and concluded that the only way this could happen, was because the ring he proposed with was made in North Korea and was evil, so he has to destroy it. But it can only be undone in the fires of Mordor, the evil land overshadowing Minas Tirith, which is Seoul and thus Mordor will be North Korea. idra takes Huk to act as his Sam, and White-Ra is akin to Gandalf the White, coming from east, where the sun rises, and he is there to help.

But what role do Evil Geniuses play? Well, they keep showing us snippets of what is unraveling all along us, as if they had a Palantír, and by that, we know that they are alike Saruman, a wizard once so great, but now in his folly allied with Sauron (Kim Jong Il). So arrogant have they become, that they show us the hour of their evil plan because they believe not that they can lose, becuase Kim Jong Il sees all and knows all. He knows that idra, should he ever reach the fires of Pyongyang, will tremble and gg just before he casts the ring into the fire, just as he does when he is winning a StarCraft match and just as Frodo did.

And so we await the oncoming war and the new Age. We can only hope that there will be a Gollum somewhere along their journey, lest despair and the forces of darkness prevail.

Sheesh, 270 pages and you still didn't figure it out yourself. The signs are there in plain sight, you know.

Most plausible thing I've heard yet.

I think that people theorizing that this announcement has anything to do with Korea are wrong, with the small exception of the possibility of Korean pros leaving for NA or EU.
The Korean scene doesn't have even close the the prize pools/tournament variety of the current EU and NA scenes.

Agreed everything else doesn't make sense.
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. ♞

The coordinates of the last clue are in Korea, soooo I think anything but something to do with Korea is wrong.

If a big team like EG takes care of the players they could fly from and back to korea whenever they wanted to.

The coordinates fit my earlier theory that a team is forming to fill the empty slot in the GSTL.

This wins best thread of the month.

All we really have from EG are the 2 audio clips apparently referencing 2 separate SC2 players - Huk and White-Ra. We also know that there is a gap in the GSTL left by fOu merging with FXOpen.

I am a big fan of Occum's Razor, which states that until we can trade explanation for simplicity, we must tend towards the more simplistic explanation.

I think EG is sponsoring a team of very solid foreign players to fill the hole in the GSTL. The GSL is clearly open to this, based on the recent acceptance of FXOpen into the GSTL. Since the Korean scene is the epitome of eSports, it would make sense that both EG and the named players would want to compete there.


As for the color yellow, it would fit with the clues revolving around the egunknown@hushmail Email account.


Yelow could be Yellow... or just Dignitas team color.

in my opinion, this means that EG will be signing the brood war pro Yellow. In an earlier post, someone mentioned that EG could be seeking to expand to get BW players to play SC2. Yellow is the perfect player, as he doesn't have a team, only an agent. Also, slayers_boxer already said that Yellow should join his own team, not slayers. EG_Yellow... idk if i like it but whatevs

Isn't it possible that GOM.TV has arranged that a couple of foreigners (like Huk and Idra) will come to help YellOw with his training for Project A (speculation from the Dignitas tweet).

Makes sense to me, then, that Idra would tweet "It was fun", maybe he was referring to the fact that a lot of progamers seem to think that once the best BW players will move to sc2, they would dominate. And it doesn't seem all that wild an idea to me.

Btw hi! first time post, just quietly jumping the bandwagon here

This thread is ruining ESPORTS.

IdrA is not going anywhere, and if he switches to toss, i will be sad, but i'd accept it.

I think IdrA race change could make a lot of sense. It's a big deal and it would upset many people. It'd also explain why he's pulling out of IEM.


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.


who are you and why do we care what you have to say again? you have clearly expressed your opinion over the last 100 pages and the internet still disagrees/doesnt like you. you can stop posting now.

Who are you and why do we care what you have to say again?

It's a forum - if you're not interested in other peoples opinions you shouldn't be on it.


giving an opinion and being a douche just throwing hate at a paticular player are two different things. your being the latter. this isnt even the "lets rate IdrA's performance thread". but i see understanding a point is above you. so i wont bother.

the best part about this, the thing you dislike the most about Idra, his attitude, and the notoriety it recieves. but he doesnt even have to do it anymore. people like you feed it for him.
Capitalization is the difference between helping your Uncle Jack off a horse and helping your uncle jack off a horse.

o.o

Absolutely not. Firstly, sAviOr is going to prison soon, which greatly restricts his ability to travel, train and compete, and secondly, it's a good way to ensure that your team is never allowed to compete in any Korean tournament again.

Actually, this guy is right.


First background : http://i.imgur.com/WiWY0.jpg (link in the OP) Nothing
Then : http://img580.imageshack.us/img580/4739/81975147.jpg (my save) "THIS"
And now "THIS IS"



So is this really sparta ?


Since there are five audio clips that will get uploaded, you'd have to imagine that the final sentence will be five words.

So: "This is just like Sparta," "This is nothing like Sparta," "This is a big troll," "This is a web page" are all possibilities.

This is ruining e sports.

Why would Yellow train with foreigners he probably has never heard of and can't speak to them?
