Don't see why people are making a big deal about this.

The delays caused Group C to have to stop virtually all their matches. There was no reason for Idra to even play the game against WhiteRa and as soon as he lost the first game he realized the odds of him getting the $1000 or $500 was so much lower he decided it's better to get rested.

I don't see what the big deal is. What's the difference between Idra forfeiting and Idra half-heartedly playing out the rest of his group games into getting stomped? The group play games are close to meaningless anyways.

Considering the players he would have to face STC and MMA. Even at full performance he'll have a tough challage.
So better have a rest and recover for the remainder of the tournament.
Also he was pretty much falling asleep whenever the camera was on him (in booth, when supporting incontrol)

With the way he played against WhiteRa, I don't think he's gonna take matches from STC and MMA. Better for him to rest in my opinion.

I think the problem is if more and more players start to do this. Imagine if all the foreign players who advanced in their pools decided to skip the rest of their matches. That's going to be bad for people who are attending the event, not to mention the event organizers who expect games from the top players.


Guess it means they should come up with a good reason to play the group stage. That was the talk all week, it's not important. Even the additional money they added, not that big of an incentive for a player like IdrA who is already well payed and has a decent bit from earnings.

I don't necessirly like the decision, but I don't argue it either. It seems smart on his part. If he already feels dead tired theres no reason to continue pushing that for another 2 bo3's. Hopefully he is going to bed and will be at 100% for the championship bracket.

Fucking bullshit.
Why did he play the first game again White-Ra?
Stupid excuse, he lost and got frustrated and quit.
He acts like a diva, it's so annoying.

Group C flipped coins. Nuff said. The group would have dragged way passed midnight with the delays.


Exactly. It's for seeding. IdrA is tired, I doubt anybody can really deny this given that he just flew halfway around the world twice in a week's time.

Give the guy a break and let him sleep. Couple that with the fact that he was supposed to be done at this time, not just starting the group stages and it makes sense.

It's very smart and doesn't really take much to understand his reason to forfeit the games.

It might be bad for the fans and viewers, but hey, the games got delayed for HOURS and Idra's games would have been pretty much done already if there wasn't any delays.

Ridiculous over-reacting again by some people in this community. Elefanto is a really good example here.

I am a huge idra fan but seriously! This does not really look good. Last night he was drinking on Live on Three" around 11, and now he is to tried to play.. I understand the jet lag and stuff but I personally feel he should have been trying to sleep instead of cutting slashers hair. However, it is not my place to tell idra what to do. If he wants to forfeit games, go ahead and do so...

Because it was his first game and he wanted one win?

Serisouly, do you think he would've forfeited if the tournament would've actually been on time?

Yeah, cause the falling asleep on camera is not proof, huh? He probably just did it to see if he had the slightest chance to win

The tournament format was pretty terrible to begin with, he should have forfeited his games earlier.

its disappointing to see, but I can see where Idra's coming from. Hopefully the IPL can fix the format for their next live event though

Seems like a smart decision, if I was in his spot, and thought I had a chance at winning a top prize in the tournament, I would go for sleep after being majorly jetlagged. However, he might get knocked out early as a result of this.
