EPTThe 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.

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) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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 | ||
