I agree with OP, no matter what happens, Idra should at the very least, show some respect.

Good post, but you retards saying "IdrA shouldn't be in Korea" need to stfu ... that's not what this post is about. If you think that it's 100% idra bashing and think this post is trying to totally demean him and say he's a newb that shouldn't be in Korea you're fucking retarded.

He pointed out IdrA's flaws and faults in a mean, but funny way, but even so, he needs to be respected because hes REALLY GOOD at Starcraft ... he just isn't as good as he could be yet


No, he doesn't NEED to be respected because he's good at SC. Maybe for you that's all it takes. I don't respect a dickhead asshole just because he's good at something.

i wonder why idra has commented here yet... i know for a fact he has read ALL of this lol


How does one respond to something like this anyway?


You say "Fair enough, bro. Thanks for the honesty."

Seriously though, it happens sometimes in strategy games where you are playing in a certain metagame, and someone from a metagame that is strategically far below yours happens to defeat you because they just weren't playing your metagame. Happens, for instance, in Stratego, where if you are smart and your oppenent is smart you have a good idea of where to look for your oppenent's flag. But if a complete scrub plays, his flag could be in a retarded spot that you'll never think of. I think this is the phenomenon that Idra is referring to by saying that he lost because F91's play was stupid.

I disagree with him, because I think SC give you adequate tools for scouting so that you shouldn't lose a BO7 in that manner.


If it's considered a "retarded build," then it must be that way because the "better" players have deemed it to be a bad build. Should the better players thus lose to it? No, that's stupid.

^this.
He lost, yet he's talking all this shit.
Even if he won every major tourney from now till the end of pro SCBW i would not respect his high horse attitude.

Can someone explain the significance of "g" instead of "gg"? Is it just a way of implying that the game wasn't a good one, or is there something else behind it?
May the BeSt man win.

No significance.
One g, two g, black g, blue g. It doesn't matter.

I dunno if its just me... but I kinda grasp what Rekrul is tryin to say too...

Im really sorry but F91's play is fuckin horrible... I mean his build orders and timings are so fuckin gross.. and IdrA loses to them ? A FUCKIN CJENTUS TERRAN!!!!!!

He s a fuckin PROGAMER for gods sake! its fuckin CJ Entus we talkin about here... and plays against some ugly ass Z builds and loses horribly.. and makes up excuses and all these crap..

I dunno if u guys watch "Boxing" but the same shit goes on before matches.. the trash talk is fine! the thinkin ur better ITS TOTALLY FINE! because u need to think like that in competitive sports to play aggressive and confident.. BUT IF YOU LOSE! YOU FUCKING SAY "GG!!!" and say GOOD JOB MAN OR WATEVER THE FUCK!

I Think even Mike Tyson after trash talking would say something manner after losing a fight!

IdrA is the biggest loser ever and needs to be beat down for his trash talking... I couldnt see him saying those words in a live LAN to the players face.. I bet hed get beat up for being a fagget...

This is real life imo..

Good post Rekrul!

This reminds me of my high school days playing chess. When I was learning the game, my local chess club head guy(rating of 1800ish) kept making it clear to me that it's not important to mindlessly memorize all the different openings, but KNOWING the concept behind it and why they're optimal.

It's pretty stupid to BLAME opponent plays less than optimally. That's the most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life. If you're truly a progamer, you should be able to PUNISH less-than-optimal openings and plays. Not sitting there without a clue because he does a stupid build and you don't know the counter.

I try to support this guy all the time, but this shit is getting ridiculous. Kid needs to grow-up and realize why he's getting spanked anytime he plays anyone that is competent instead of making excuses. It's getting pathetic.

This post is proof that even a human toilet like Rekrul occasionally has something worthwhile to contribute

I voted Idra would lose 1-6 so going 2-5 actually bumped my estimation of his skill a bit. And really, the excuse making is no surprise either. Idra can loosen up and act human when he's drunk but otherwise he seems pretty committed to the "hey I'm a phenomenal douchebag who gives no respect to anyone who isn't in my practice partner circle" routine.

I'm convinced his attitude is the only thing holding him back -_-


And with the exception of Strelok, it seems like "top" foreign Terrans tend to be major fucking titty baby excuse making pussies. Artosis, Idra and Aerials come to mind right away (no offense Paul, you know it's true). So what if you're playing the most technically difficult race? If you can't lose with Terran without being a cunt, play the "easy race" and shut the fuck up.

Yeah I've tried to get behind IdrA and support him, but man is he a dick.

So, why could someone explain why anyone should listen to rek about becoming a succesful sc player?

That's not a dig, but if I'm going to trust someone about top-level sc play (which my "omg, i once hit b- on pgt by matchup and match whoring) ass can't understand, I've been around long enough to know reks not the man.

Saying F91 is dumb for not acting the way he was 'supposed' to is pussy shit.

Perspective counts for something. Rekrul at least knows (and knew) his place. You don't have to be a top pro gamer to make the observations he made in this post, you just have to have a functioning head on your shoulders.

its not about how to become a successful sc player. It's about being a decent person.
I think rek did a good, given blatant, job of doing this.
