Why is there such a big controversy over the BM??

Haven't we learned to love FBH's antics by now? Or is this just an SC2 thing o.O
I aint crying over some daggone danishes

I would like to see an ultimate fight between Idra and this guy, it would be 10x more fun than watching them, than in SC2.

이기고 나서 세리모니가 이슈가 되고 있다.
▲ 평소에 배틀넷에서 그렉 필즈 선수가 매너도 없고 해서 까불지 말라라는 뜻으로 한 번 해봤다. 클로즈베타때 나도 당해봐서 하게 됐다. 세리모니는 세리모니일 뿐이다. 잘 봐주셨으면 좋겠다.

▲ Because Greg Fields does not have any manners on battle.net, so I did the ceremony to tell him to don't mess with people. I've been victimized to his bm during the Closed Beta, which motivated me to do this. In the end, however, a ceremony is only a ceremony, and I hope you all watched it well.

I think I like your translation the best. Gonna root for Zenio more now that I know he has some personality. Although his celebration needs more work, maybe he should talk to FBH for some pointers.

Just finished reading the old Rekrul thread and it seems like all these issues about IdrA are old hat and everyone, even his friends in the thread, seemed to agree with the content if not the delivery.

Two theories for why an otherwise intelligent person would fail to correct his mistakes in the face of so much evidence.

1. Aspberger's Syndrome. I don't know IdrA on a personal level at all. I have seen interviews. He seems too high functioning to have Aspberger's in his recent interviews but it's possible and would explain many of the characteristics his frenemies seem to agree upon.

2. Insecurity without resolution. I've both lived a part of this and seen it amongst some of the kids at university and grad school. Not uncommon amongst kids at the top schools.

You start life different. More introverted than most kids. Maybe physically smaller. Maybe significantly better at certain subjects, like math, than kids your age group. You're seen as "weird" or "nerdy." You learn to wall yourself off from society, become exceedingly cautious when interacting with new people, begin assuming people will be mean or hurtful. I was that kid. Maybe he was too?

This would help explain why the only people we know to be IdrA's friends, rather than just his fans, are yes-men like Artosis who he would never feel unsafe around (watch the Artosis-IdrA interview before the first IEM if you question whether this is the relationship). It would also explain why Rekrul mentioned IdrA never had any romantic interactions prior to a 2008 or 2009 visit to Korea. (I'm not saying this last part to be hurtful, I'm saying it because, if true, such a fact would have a remarkable impact on a young man's view of himself. Not getting laid or having a girlfriend makes a lot of young men feel like they are failures ... which some compensate for by exuding arrogance and finding undue validation in things like ... well, Starcraft. So a loss isn't simply a loss. It's another indication regarding one's lack of value). And, yes, IdrA is skinny and a nerd but he's nowhere near unattractive enough to have that be the reason for his not having a girlfriend ever. He definitely falls into the 95% of men that "have a chance if..."

Problem is, only way to solve the problem, is to 1. recognize its a problem; and then 2. treat it like you would any other problem (i.e., rationally assess the issue, examine potential solutions, process the superior solutions. And you treat your failures just as dispassionately. If you get a calc problem wrong, you figure out what you did wrong. If you try to get it on with a cute brunette that rejects you, you figure out what you did wrong. Hit the reset button, play again. Crying "(girls) imba" or "s/he's dumb" is as valid a strategy in Starcraft as it is in your social life ... which means, not at all). Which, because it involves initially painful introspection, is harder than it sounds.

So, basically, in order for IdrA to become a well rounded individual capable of appropriate introspection and, subsequently, the ability to become one of the best pro-gamers, it sounds like we need to get him a girlfriend or we need to convince him to engage in the process of effective socializing. Who's up for flying to Korea and whipping this kid into shape?

Answering BM with BM is BM.
Zenio should just be a man and say "Like I care if he BM's me, I beat him".
I lost my respect for Zenio

IdrA's burned too many bridges to turn it around now. The players he mocked (and in the Beta of a NEW game no-less) weren't going to stay worse than him forever and are passing him by. He has an overinflated opinion of himself, propped up by fanboys who don't know any better. His weaknesses will become bigger and bigger because he doesn't recognize them as such. He makes excuses and blames the game instead of improving. He practices inside a pampered bubble without having his strategies challenged. He's got hundreds of enablers (called TL) that are pretty much "yes" men that don't question him. He'll be trapped in this rut of his own making.

He doesn't want any help. The first step to improving is admitting that you're not that great. And he's not going to get any because he alienated just about the entire pro scene in Korea.

Great post.

I agree entirely. When your excuse list for your loss is:
1. opponents strategy (making carriers is a great talent toi have, all in, fucking nooby cheesers etc.)
2. game imba (first terran, then protoss, now obviously has to be zerg)
3. ...
...

Does he have a reasoning like "hey may be I am not as good as I think?" or "I certainly suck at ZvP and ZvZ" or "I just played garbage, should improve?"

With such attitude, he will not improve much. He should wait for new patches to come out, in the meantime, whine about something.


In BW, where IdrA played T, he was always complaining about toss OP rofl...

I know. And you'd wonder why he never chooses the OP race.

Oh right, he has "self-respect"
Even TLO has it now

Zenio was on Werra during the beta, no wonder IdrA bmed him.

I think Zenio won the first Korean beta tournament ever, as well.

Wow you guys saying Idra being BM is terrible its no where near as bad as it was in BW. Also jesus people get mad when they lose there are a ton of people who do it that are at the top level way way worse then Idra does.

Also if you think Zenio's was the worst BM ever you should seriously watch Firebathehero is was 100 times worse then Zenio's lol.
When I think of something else, something will go here

Both Zenio and IdrA are bosses. I love IdrA for telling it how it is and not concealing his rage, and I love Zenio for doing shit like that/standing up to him. Just enjoy the spectacle, folks. This is SC2 not SamuraiCraft.

Wow. I am going to comment a little on the concept of BM here. Everyone needs to lighten up. Starcraft is so rigid with its focus on manners. During Dallas I want everyone to pop over and watch a Halo match while the SC is taking a break. Do they sit there and smile when they win and do they cheer, share high fives and make a little noise?

And that is nothing compared to real sport. Take any sport where they jump around when they score. My background is competitive fencing here in Canada. A sport where screaming to influence the referee is encouraged. Now I'm not advocating that a player shouts with joy every time they pick off a scouting SCV but let them act up somewhat. It's natural. Every single sport does it.

Is Zenio disrespectful? Hell no. He doesn't like Idra and he did a single gesture in celebration. Hockey players throw down and fight. This is nothing. Calm down. Starcraft needs to take the manner stick out of its ass and enjoy the conquering of your enemies.
