I do tend to agree with IdrA when he refers to HuK's play, throwing your chance to win just to please fans is idiotic to say the least. In regards to the rest of his comments, he shows all the aspects of a player who has played profesionally in Korea.

Uh, no. That game was surely not lost due to a misclick.


Maybe he accidentally mothership

So I actually liked that he decided to just be wacky in the end and give it a shot.


bigt brawl, i know hurts bringing up that name again, but huk vs select BO5. Huk comes back and dominates without using any funky strat. just straight up solid play. especially the last game on kulas

Lots of respect for Idra. He's living his dream. Moving to Korea to play a video game professionally had to be a crazy life decision... but I'm sure it's paying off. Gets to hang out with friends and win money playing Starcraft.

His attitude on this tournament stems from his competitive nature. He doesn't actually play Starcraft because he enjoys video games. He competes in Starcraft because he likes to win. He doesn't even like custom maps. I suppose this is why he responded to Huk's mothership the way he did. You wouldn't see a football team or a baseball team doing something silly because they know they are going to lose. They play hard until the very end... because that's the professional thing to do. If you WIN... that's when you do something silly. Like a dance in the endzone or spelling out your name with supply depots.

Good luck in GSL2 Idra. You are every bit as good as those koreans and you can definitely win.

i guess that competative mindset of those top tier players won't be all that healthy for the communities behind the scene, honestly, isnt esport built on the fact of pleasing the fans?

This interview just reaffirms how much I dislike idra, what a wankstain. I love how he BMs his opponents if he loses, AND if he wins. Apologize for playing that race! Huk's matches are 1000x times more interesting to watch. God bless your macro style, idra, but you are boring to watch.


Skill-based macro games are much more interesting than luck-of-the-draw surprise strats. I'll take drawn-out macro over gimpy BS anyday. Idra wins, simple as that. He ROFLSTOMPED Huk at DC easily, and Huk is the Raleigh Champion, so that goes to show you the difference.

Besides, BW was heavily macro based and has been for the past few years, I wouldn't call it boring at all, even though the strategies are MUCH less diverse. Every game was FE into muta/lurk,bioball,corsair/dt/reaver/dragoon (depending on map). The maps have gotten much larger to compliment this.

Fixed it for you

On a serious note, I really liked the interview. IdrA really knows the game well. I have a lot of respect for him, when he's not being overly badmannered

Nah, if HuK doesn't make mistakes and plays solid and standard, HuK is the hard one to beat. Unfortunatly he hasn't been at his best in tournaments lately, so everyone's assuming he's not a good player

fixed.

but I don't think "bonjwa" will be coined for another few years. The game is being patched so quickly and often that a dominating player might just be because he caught onto the change faster, or it suited his playstyle, while everyone struggles to catch up. I think bonjwas would be defined in a time when everyone is pretty equal... and then.. someone rises out of smoke and grabs a thunderbolt from the skies and proclaims himself God.

That's what bonjwa means to me, lol
The probability of Kim Carrier getting all those predictions wrong is similar to the probability Flash loses a TvT. Kim Carrier MUST BE a genius. His only big mistake... STORK.

I think its fair to say that play like HuKs appeal to the less hardcore, serious crowd. The more casual players. While IdrA's hardcore dedication, and devotion appeals to the more serious players. The type of players that practice, instead of play. Who have notes for each game they play, each map they practice on, each racial lineup and about their opponent. stuff like that. Hardcore SCII folks. That, of course, is just my opinion and not a verifiable fact.

As a much more casual player, I enjoy the showman that is HuK shenanigans. I think out of the box thinking is good for a young, ever changing and dynamic sport like SCII.
If I saw a MLB closer do something silly that cost my team the league championship and a shot at the world series? I would be upset. But then, I take baseball more seriously than I do SCII.

HuK used ambient noise in a convention hall as part of the metagame

That's some slick out-of-the-box thinking imo

Even though Idra still talks against cheese among other things like he used to, the answers to his interviews seem a lot more mature.
Feels like a year ago he would have said "ya qxc basically abused ravens, can't do much against an imba strat like that" but instead he commented on how impressive the build actually was, and that he needed to have gone roach to stop it.
Thumbs up.

Anyone who thinks Idra's play is "boring" is probably some silver BGH newb.
