Would be nice if they could get Dimaga to replace him. But I doubt it since it would be too short of notice to travel. However, looking at the zergs already in the tournament I don't think there are really any European zergs left who are on the same level as as Idra or Dimaga.

No hope for a zerg to win it.

Does this has anything to do perhaps with the mystery announcement? Is Idra going to retire?

Pretty bad news for IEM since IdrA always bring hype in tournaments.

Especially considering that MC was in his pool

Maybe he wants to practice for the upcoming MLG, travelling makes you lose time and practice, so he pulled out?

What would make EG pull him out of it? Yeah its a hard group, but hes been through plenty of it. This was EG's decision, not Idras. Wonder why he isn't gonna be playing.


It's not outside the realm of possibility that he's staying State side for something. Or came down with the flu and can't fly. Everyone is just guessing at the moment.


I wish he was staying with me. x]

I'm guessing that traveling to Europe and then back and then trying to play in Raleigh so soon after is not something he wants to do. I think we've all the seen the problems with travel time affecting practice and routine as well as jet lag issues.

He might just be hunkering down and trying to really focus on MLG. Too many tournaments and travel might have been affecting his play.

This. He was in the EG house for barely a week, and then he's off to blizzard invitational, IEM and MLG. He would have had no time to get the practice that he needs in the EG house before MLG.

That was my first assumption as well. The IEM prize pool isn't exactly staggering, so he shouldn't feel too bad about passing it up.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Its very likely that its because it would mean he would have almost no practice time for the next 3 weeks, as gamescom would mean him flying out there then immediately back to the states for MLG. 3 Events in as many weekends is rather exhausting and would put him in bad condition.

I guess oGs`TL`SK-MC is the more accurate name?
