I just don't like the way people act sometimes.
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. This post is an example of why people hate IdrA fanboys.
???
You are pathetic.

I'm not hating on him, but his route to winning wasn't really impressive. He beat 2 code b players(one that hasn't ever made it into GSL), Elfi, and some guy named Jim. When he starts placing high in MLG's again or Dreamhack then I'll be a bit more impressed.
Knew I'd find the biggest fool post.

No one cares. We know the community is worthless. After a while, we learn to ignore everything you say. Wow, that's a slightly harsh thing to say isn't it? Don't let a few morons making dumb arguments/posts skew your views on the whole community. Do you even want fans after making a comment like that? So what if some gold league players want to argue about whether IdrA is this or that, if you don't like it just don't continue to read it. Guess the 50,000 fans that watch state of the game/MLG's and support you/other pro-gamers are worthless that help to pay your bills? Without the community, esports would simply not be were it's at right now.

He's not a bad player, he's just extremely overrated. Mainly people hate him because he's so arrogant and thinks he's way better than he actually is. Just because he's not bad, doesn't mean he's good. If you said this after the pool play, I'd agree with you. 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. Yet you have no proof at all, thats your opnion which is fine, but idra can take a bo3/bo5/bo7 of any of them if he plays hes best, yet it could go either way too, take sen for example, im pretty sure they have near enough the same record in beating each other. For u to say all those are better then idra tho, shows ur just tryin to troll.
Of course it is an opinion, so were your statements earlier in the thread where you stated categorically that people thinking Ret or Sheth are better are deluded, also without "proof". Yes, Idra can take a series with any of those players, so what ? Recent results is what matters, consistency is what matters, who did they beat recently is what matters, potential is irrelevant when discussing results. And the only way to determine how good someone is, is to look at recent results and try to create some approximate measure of "being good".
And just looking at the score between two players is not enough to say which one of them is better in general, only which one of them is better in the match between the two. If you tried to create measure based on just results between two players, you would run into problems quickly if player A has winning record with player B, player B with player C and player C with player A, what then ?
So judging if Sen or Idra are better you need to look somewhat wider (and just so you know Sen has winning record vs Idra, but very close). You can use ELO, which is reasonably good measure of recent results and in that Idra would be even lower. ELO has its own set of problems though. My list is an attempt to create a list based on the results, but also how those results were achieved. If you really want I can tell you why I judged those players as currently better than Idra.

No one gives a shit about you, your opinion, or anything about you. So stop being so butthurt and insulted when someone says it.
Well, if Tyler used to be a nice guy before, I can see how people like you made him bitter twoards the rest of us.
So what you are telling me is that you would be a complete asshole in real life also, but you are too chickenshit to do it so you go on to vent on the internet.

I got to know him through the first GSL seasons, where i was rooting for all the foreigners, until he opened his mouth to constantly whine and beeing disrespectful towards all opponents with his words and attitude ("I am the best, it's just game ballance"). Since that time, i enjoy him loosing.
When i'm watching sports, i want it to be about skill, fun and respect. Also i respect people with a fighting attitude. He's kinda the Anti-Hero to all that and is massively overrated.

a random thread about idra on a forum with a gazillion posts is the very periphery of public image... the fans only matter to the industry in the sense that they're obviously related with the watchers of streams/broadcasts etc. but devotion doesn't really matter from that aspect, you're going to watch a broadcast of a tournament anyways even if you don't like the player that told you you're stupid in a TL post, fans are basicly only good for warming their hearts. their numbers won't change a bit because of a post like that, hence he is not even slightly obligated to act like a cutypie at random people here who talk shit about everything. also this is TL's playground here. that's why your points are a bit useless... and also this is why your post is basicly only good for a ban...

On fans, the community, and how progamers relate to them:
It's tough to receive criticism. Most of the time, when I got a bad grade on a paper, I wouldn't even read the comments. However, whenever I got a good grade, I'd gloat over the compliments. Obviously, this was bad. I didn't learn.
What really infuriated me, though, was when a teacher disagreed with me substantively on a topic which I knew more about than he did. Specifically, one time I wrote a great paper on the effectiveness of commercial search engines designed to catch students who bought their papers. I received a barely passing grade, and everything the teacher disagreed with me over was just wrong.
Progamers often feel that the community is in that ignorant teacher's spot. That said... now that I objectively look back on the paper... I do think I skipped one part of the assignment... So, maybe there is always something you can learn.

used to?
boo-hoo hes not nice to you therefore hes not a nice person at all,whether as to why hes bitter,I don't know,I'm not going to speculate,if he wants to explain why exactly,then he will.
oh wait-hes right our argument will keep going in circles.

Tyler needs to take some PR lessons. I guess that's one less stream I'll be watching, or one less player I'll be supporting.

I don't know, when I heard the story about his team threatened to kick him off the team if he didn't win WCG one year and he ripped through the entire tournament with only one 1 loss, I became a big fan.
Idra clearly has some of his own demons to deal with. Watching someone overcome their own weaknesses is amazing to watch.

Always? Certainly not with the amount of hate there is sometime.
That's why Tyler said they learned to ignore the community. Because it's so hard to learn anything from the criticisms most of the time.

I want to hear from those who think he is a bad player exactly why they think so. Because I personally think he is a fantastic player, who has a matchup lagging significantly behind the other two. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and if they think he is overrated that is fine of course, but denying the fact that he is a top foreigner is a bit silly imo.
If you look at his results the last 2 month before IEM it is perfectly understandable to say he`s not a top foreigner (now not anymore).
It is also understandable that he has a lot of anti-fans by the way he acts.
And there has always been drama around Idra, but you can't take the opinion of his fans or anti-fans too serious. Idra is neither bad nor did he became #1 foreigner by winning one tournament.

Not nice to me? When did he ever address me specifically? He was not nice to a whole community of a few thousand people. That makes him not a nice guy in my book.

Everyone cheeses. It's part of the game.
