Agreed. I didn't think it was possible for me to have less respect for Idra than I did yesterday, and yet here we are.

At least I'm not embarrassed of the only American in the GSL. Maybe I can convince people Huk is American, instead :3

I am extremely shocked.

I felt that Idra was improving after each GSL and it was just stuff like maps that held him back.

Sucks for the foreign presence in Korea.

Clide got trolled hard lol.. Idra said he knew before the group drawings and purposely picked Clide and group B so Clide would have to play MVP. Then someone else put Zenio in B and MC in A, so they two people that kind of had a grudge with Idra, so Clide/Zenio will probably win B and have to face MVP/MC who will probably win A. An excellent long troll from Idra. gg wp

Sad to see you go IdrA, you're one of the best and you would have done well, but i'm sure you'll be owning up on NA noobs like nobodies business!

gl and all the best.

I had a feeling this was coming. I'm kind of excited. It will be sad not rooting for him in the GSL, but there is so much happening outside of Korea in this scene it makes sense.

I would have liked to see him finish out this next GSL season. It's sad that theres only 1 foreigner in code S now. :\

With that said, it seems like Geoff's thing might really be big. Ah well, good luck in NA IdrA!

If Idra is coming back to the usa, then that means that some big time league is going to be going on or something here, I really hope this big announcement is worth it. Half the people I know know whats going on but they aren't allowed to say anything ><

No more two guys sitting on a couch, doing an awesome show? I am sad >< However best of luck to IdrA in North America, and I hope he and Artosis can still do the show over skype or something.

Idra just said they'll still do it on SotG.

And so the stars are lining up... why is everyone at EG migrating to Cali? Gaming house? GSL equivalent? Something else indescribably awesome?

So the hype continues...

Edit: Better yet, why does it seem like a good amount of the sc2 pro gamers are migrating to Cali?

Hmm...

i really wish they would announce their league already. incontrol let the cat out of the bag by comparing his announcement to the gsl but instead we have to watch threads/posts get nuked... we all know whats going on... its the gigantic elephant in the middle of the room... we know whats goin on but we cant talk about it officially ;_;

THe prize money for MLG is better than GSL and less work, pretty smart move on his part

not suprised he is coming back tbh. we wan't liked in korea for his bm, and tbh he wasn't at the calibur where he could win a gsl. though its good that we'll see another great korean in the gsl and widen the variety of players in code s

idra is a good player no doubt. but korea is not a fit for him. he can make more per week doing tournaments in NA then in korea doing maybe 1 a month.
