I am too, the only foreigners that seem to be able to compete regularly with Code A Koreans are HuK, Naniwa, and Thorzain. Others can take a few games and maybe a series once in a blue moon, but outside of those three there's no one I'd say is "good" compared to Code A. | ||

It's really funny that you trash the community that your team (you know, team liquid) is supported by. Maybe this so called shitty comunity should work on getting your fans to see what an arrogant person you are. Then maybe when no one watches you play anymore and your sponsors stop caring about you, you'll start appreciating this community more. And even funnier is the fact that you have 6000+ posts in this worthless community. | ||

Kinda intersting comming from a member of TL, the most important sc community website. Oh well I know you dont care but you just earned yourself one more person that does not like you. | ||

We just witnessed HISTORY. The games vs puma gave me nerd chills, and all people want to do is hate on idra or hate on puma for playing bad. Puma did not play bad, idra just played ridiculously good and its sad that not everybody can appreciate what we just saw. | ||

But I'd hardly say he's overrated now when everyone but his fans (until yesterday) felt he wasn't a top performer. Sure he got quite lucky avoiding JYP/Dimaga, but he also beat Puma (One of the top players by International ELO) and Revival, a past Code A player. I think you'd be hard pressed to name 10 foreigners who are better than Idra right now, maybe even 5. I'd say being Top 10 outside Korea (I'm not a blind fan who thinks he's #1 or #2 or whatever) is pretty darn good. I can try  Thorzain, Select, Mana, Huk, Nerchio, Stephano, Dimaga, Sen, Ret. Possibly also Sheth, Demuslim, Morrow. Funny how most of them are zergs But otherwise I agree that Idra is good anyway, even if he was top 15, it still means he is extremely good.EDIT: oops forgot Naniwa | ||

I never said in any of my posts that I think IdrA is a god. In fact, I just said he's a good ZvT player. Note the difference. Posting while angry often makes people spout bullshit, and even more bullshit when they realize that their argument doesn't have much legs to stand on, and much moreso when they find people that don't agree 100% to what they're saying. As a matter of fact, I'm not even angry. I just got into the SC2 scene during the Super Tournament and only managed to know about IdrA after checking for more info about BoxeR's transition into SC2. I found out how IdrA just used to live in Korea as a pro-gamer and went back to the US and started flopping due to lack of practice (which he admits to). I also got to know how PuMa is a great TvPer judging from how he managed to defeat MC in two tournament finals, but wasn't sure about his TvZ (which I found out later was actually pretty good, due to his effective ghost usage in late-game). Then here you guys go trying to de-legitimise IdrA's win over PuMa by saying PuMa lost on purpose. When hating on a particular person, you narrow your vision and just focus on everything you can possibly hate about them and all responses that aren't exactly siding with you all look like they're on the opposite side of your view. It happens to a lot of people, and it's clearly happening to you, as now you are clearly convinced that I'm this huge IdrA fanboy that thinks that he is the God of Starcraft II. You are also clearly convinced that I like assholes simply because it adds to your convenience so you can hate on both IdrA and me more, without trying to even confirm if I do like assholes or not (and I don't like assholes, I just think IdrA's a blunt, slightly egotistic, yet funny dude, but no, think what you want to think because you obviously have no intent to actually find out what I think in the first place. You just want someone to target your hate on IdrA onto.) | ||

For u to say all those are better then idra tho, shows ur just tryin to troll. | ||

I don't care what he cares about or not. As far as I'm concerned, LiquidTyler is a bad player that I don't follow and I don't care about. And I also don't care about what he thinks about this community in private. However he is a representative of his team and this community by extension. And if this is the public image and message that Team Liquid wants to put out, that we're basically all just a pair of worthless eyeballs to them, then I'd rather take my 2 cents of advertising dollars and opinion to another site which at least puts the effort in not to insult me. | ||

Bad choice of a post to make a example buddy. The Idra fanboys that are irritating to people(or just me at least) are the ones that,when Idra crys wolf about "imbalance",religiously quote him and classify every one of his looses to the imbalance,they worship him as a man who does not make mistakes because he is a "macro god" and the cheese devils are out to get him. | ||

IdrA won IEM, he is a great player, he speaks his mind, he can come across disrespectful, he has many fans, he has many haters, he is a human being, he likes split reason shirts. Deal with it. | ||

You're actually going down a really slippery slope here. E-sports is not like traditional sports in the sense that the entire fan base for the game exists in the virtual world. Its not like traditional games where fans in the real world are not necessarily participants of community discussions on online forums, However in e-sports, the opposite is actually true. If you are a fan of a particular player, chances are you came first across him in an online forum/replay site/ vod, thus essentially making you a part of the "community". In most cases, the fan is actually an integral part of the "community" as you so blithely put it. How do you think MLG gets its millions of views? From only the "fans" and not the "community"? That's actually pretty delusional. Without the team liquid community, SC2 and MLG would be nowhere close to as big as they are today. | ||
