No point in playing if you'll still be in the champ bracket and you are too tired to perform. Coming back to play at the IPL hours after coming from China is a pretty legit reason. He's not playing in this tournament to please people who stayed up to watch him or whatever. Totally legit reason IMO. gl Greg

So my question is: why is this thread about Idra and says absolutely nothing about the 4 players in Group C who did effectively the same thing?

Anyway, it's perfectly fine with me. If the tournament wants people to play the group stages, they should probably make them mean something.

Where are the
"Hero, Thorzain, Select, Sleep forfeit group play at IPL" threads?

Stop making a big deal out of nothing. They're like 8 hours behind schedule, and group play means -nothing at all-.
Nothing
at
all.

Why did he play the first game again White-Ra? FOR THE FANS, which he's not under any obligation to do.
Stupid excuse, he lost and got frustrated and quit. He lost, got frustrated at how bad he was playing, and decided to cut losses and prepare for tm, exactly what pro sports players do.
He acts like a diva, it's so annoying.
No, he's acting like a professional sportsman with winning the tournament in mind. The group stage has no meaning, and $500 is not worth it if your'e going to risk your shot at 1st place.

Because he wanted to at least give an effort for his fans? I mean at least he took an effort instead of completely blowing it off. You are making a bigger deal out of it then it really is, the guy wanted to go to sleep. You have to remember he probably would of played through the whole group if it wasn't delayed for so long.

I can't understand it myself Puma is in the same team competed in the same tournament and is playing ok. I feel he will gain an unfair advantage playing less game, also he is letting down ipl by not allowing them to show his group games.

Personally I am pissed with idra and scoots for backing idra up. I am tweeting ipl and all of eg's sponsors and i pray he gets disqualified.

Didn't he say yesterday on LO3 that he was feeling good about playing today...? I hope it's true if it's legit, seems that he could just be covering up for bad play though.

This makes sense from IdrA. At worst, he will have to face a tough opponent in the championship bracket. At best, he can actually play competently. Floating 1k minerals and getting mutas? He already was performing the basic equivalent of a forfeit.

Nope you just dont understand this situation. Idras chances to get the 1k or the 500$ are pretty slim after starting with 1-2 with these players in the groups.

So he has 2 choices:

1. play it out which means staying awake for like 2-3 hours to MAYBE get 500-1000$

2. Just quit and be well rested for tommorows 100k tournament


Pretty obvious choice for me at least.


edit: under normal circumstances i understand you might be more critical, but day2 has like serious delays and he should have been done for hours already. I think that totally legitimeses his choice here.

8+ hours delay
he expected to be done by 10
he still had 3 series to play at 10, that's easily like an extra 3-4 hours

it's unreasonable for anyone to be up that long

Puma had to play through the open bracket to qualify. He didn't have a choice if he wanted to actually get to it.

Should also include players like HerO, Select, Sleep and Thorzain to this. They did basically the same thing, with different reasons - decided not to play their games, despite the fans and such.

OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!!!!!111one

But none of them are IdrA, so even though group 3 did it, they don't get threads dedicated to them for it.

He had the option, he thought it'd be the best for him. it's ok. whatever. problem is with the rules/format maybe, a smart player should make smart decisions off game too.

He fell asleep in his booth, I think it's pretty amazing even if he lost against White-ra. He played rather well. If he is fully rested we're going to see the IdrA that beat Puma. If he stays up and loses to PuMa and STC then he is just more tired and has worse chances. This is probably the smartest decision to do

why playing vs white-ra then?
this is disrespectful - either not playing from the very beginning or playing the whole thing. would he have played the rest of the group if he won vs ra?

Strelok also came from china, was in the playoffs there and played his group YESTERDAY without moaning once, always smiling. Thats what i call professional.

Wasn't this forced on them though, from the tournament? Or did they actually get together and decided that they wouldn't play?

I was kinda under the assumption that it was a tournament-decision, I might be wrong though
