And of course he isn't the same in real life as ingame. I had the honor to meet with some pros this summer and it's surprising who nice they are in real life. Don't even talk about the real person if you never met him face to face and talked a word with him. I for example think that mTwNaruto is a whiny bitch judging from his stream QQ when losing and his "cocky GM behaviour" etc. but I'm always open-minded when it comes to the real person (who organized some sc2 events in germany and seems to care about the community a lot <3 ). He might be a nice guy who invites you to a drink when you meet him in a bar. Who knows? ^^ So what did we learn? Never judge someone just by watching his play and some on camera moments. | ||

Btw IdrA haters are annoying, but those especially who dismiss his skill and achievments. hate on his manners all they long, i couldnt care less, but when you bash on his sc-skills you're just making a joke out of yourself | ||

If people are really gonna make such a big deal about what he said 10 months ago which has 0 relevancy right now , I feel really sad for them. well reading around in TL threads for a time, a very frequent compliment on idra is that he is "honest" and when he acts like an ass, a lot of his fans think "wow sheth is fake! being nice sucks! idra is the real deal!". read idiocy like this in countless posts maybe a good example is to compare to the effect of the show house m. d. many people like that character because he is sarcastic/rude/ etc all the time. the difference is, he is a genius, he is funny, saves hundreds of lives, and basicly everyone finds him insufferable. the whole idra phenomenon is basicly just acting like an asshole for no reason. not shaking your opponents' hand because you don't like his playstyle, etc... no real justification, but it works on people for drawing attention. and what kind of people are these? for majority of humans being nice/kind is a good attribute. what does it tell about a person when he thinks that being a jackass is a nice attribute? and they don't just find idra funny or something. they praise and adore him for it. that's what really really odd and if he is in truth a nice person than he the whole thing is an act, it's fake and fans are just misguided. | ||

This is what you must do in order to be successfull in a highly competitive "sport" like starcraft 2 or any other sport. They are "public figures" since they have fans and haters, if you are a player and you open TL and read the comments everyday you will go insane with all the hate.. So yeah tyler you are right, you can love your fans and do videos, iviews, promotions, signings, etc.. but in the end of the day you can't care about what people you don't know think about you and your game. For criticism you have family, friends, teammates, coaches and managers.. | ||

He doesn't have a champion's mind AND gets mindless praise for that. 2.- He's a balance whiner, and one with terrible arguments and extremely close-minded. Sometimes it's so ridiculous it reminds me of schizophrenic delusions. 3.- He believes there's only one way to play the game, and if it doesn't work he's incapable of realizing his own mistakes or his opppnent's good play and instead blames it on the game. Seriously dude? 4.- He's a sore loser, with pathetic frustration tolerance problems. AND he's a terrible winner, uncapable of even respecting his opponents. 5.- He BMs way too much and in really disgusting forms and context. The classic example is comparing him to MC at MLG. You could tell MC was being a showman while Idra was just being a jackass. 6.- Finally, and worst of all, he has the most annoying fans ever, who will make a huge deal and completely overhype anything decent he does while at the same time praise him for behaving like a spoiled child. Disgusting. All that said, he's a good SC player, he understands the game at a truly high level, which makes his attitude problems even worse since he could be so much better without them. I also realize how full of hate this post is, but you asked, I'm giving my thoughts. dead on what I think about him. It sums it up very well. | ||

That's me, I wonder why it's so hard for people to see this guy, his strengths and weaknesses from a neutral perspective. The only solution is just to not care about anybody elses opinion of him, because that always makes me angry when i read that I fully agree with you here. IdrA showed us a few fantastic games in IEM and I think that as long as IdrA is active in SC2 he'll be one of our strongest foreigners. It is what it is. | ||

He could be an awesome guy outside this game; we could be best friends, hell if I know. But you guys must not get it, IdrA "haters" don't hate him because he is good, they "hate" him because he cannot take losses / wins and his attitude in game is not the best. IdrA is not a very charismatic player and his balance rants really are just there because he doesn't want to accept that the Brood War, 10 years playing this game, won so many tournaments, champion, foreign hero zerg is losing to people who are "new" to the game, such as HuK or Minigun. Either way he is a great player, he def shows results, but he doesn't have the best attitude. Just stating my opinion, thanks.  HF Gaming. | ||
