He however, is a bad sportsman, is abrasive and completely incapable of admitting his own flaws. Despite all that, he remains one of the most entertaining SC2 personalities and generates an amazing amount of buzz both in and out of the game. | ||

I know IdrA is very outspoken on balance and how he feels Protoss is hugely overpowered versus Zerg, but is that really a good enough excuse for all the negative comments he receives? IEM spoiler: + Show Spoiler + Only a few hours ago IdrA won IEM, and in that time there has been so much de-legitimising of his series against Puma. People don't seem to recognise just how phenomenaly he played and think that Puma cannot be outplayed and every mistake he made was part of his plan to throw the series. Noticeably on the 'best foreigner poll' thread and that hilarious conspiracy theory thread that the now banned Spasticated made. 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. There are very few people who think that IdrA is a bad player. The people either love or hate his personality and then the flaming comes through in an attack on his play as well as his personality. This post seems useless since everyone already knows why people flame him and why people defend him. | ||

I feel the same exact way as you do.. However some of his flames feel just too much for me.. Even though he doesnt fall down in my heart. I often ask my-self , was it worth it idra ? (example, Minigun being called out "You didn't deserve to win" followed-up by "you're a fucker") and in that particular game idra was doing bad things with his army (like really bad running throughout storm with all of his zerglings and stuff) Even though i am a protoss player, i prefer idra's stream over the others because he is just SO good. I would say it is just that people don't like to evaluate player who is bad mannered. Incontrol once said "Well, Idra wanna be bad mannered and when you wanna be bad mannered you gotta be better than the others, and he is" | ||

I haven't really noticed the last couple days.... http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=268904 Look at the poll for 'who doesnt deserve to be on this list' http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=271737 This is a little ridiculous but it does show what I'm talking about | ||

IdrA is a player with like 3 championship wins in SC2, and yet hes better then people with a lot more success? sorry, no. best foreigner goes to HuK, he's still in Code S. Arguably though, I think ThorZain is the best, hes absolutely amazing and miles ahead of IdrA | ||

Idra is a very talented player, mechanics ftw Yeah, but a lot of people have the class to not out and insult the player and rag on their skills for beating them. It's not about, "being honest and straight forward" or whatever else people like to use when referring to IdrA, it's about not being a complete asshole. In a recent vlog, Grubby lost to someone who he said he should have been able to beat and said he was quite upset about it, not once did it seem like he was delegitimizing the other player's effort or saying he was bad. I'm not saying everyone needs to be that ultra-mannered, but if he's going to delegitimize other player's wins and call them bad, are people really wondering why others do the same to him? Why don't I go and make another thread regarding IdrA's hatred of just about every other person that beats him and how he delegitimizes their wins. It's fucking stupid that anyone can be surprised that he gets a ton of shit, he dishes a massive amount out. | ||

A few extreme haters start ragging on him. Which triggers the extreme fanboys to shield him and rag on the haters. Which in turn triggers less extreme haters to join in. Then of course the standard fanboys join the fray. ......etc You see how this works. | ||

Like a user said before, he polarizes. But it's beyond me that someone is surprised that people hate or dislike IdrA. | ||
