Antoine United States7481 Posts February 16 2011 06:31 GMT #102 GOMTV said (thanks xeph) that his groupmates will just be getting freewins. http://esports.gomtv.com/gsl/community/view.gom?msgid=7892&p=1 maybe somebody will do a full translation later.

Croganhore New Zealand1 Post February 16 2011 06:31 GMT #104 No no no, I am NOT happy about this. See, Idra is to some extent is really just a jackass with aspergers and a talent for SC2. In America, really, the only thing that sets him apart is his ability to roflstomp most of the other players that run into him. There are a LOT of angry nerds out there who take losing even harder than Idra. But in Korea, his attitude and his play style is polarised, in comparison to the polite mannerisms of the Koreans. Even in the GTSL finals, when IM and ST started duking it out and talking smack, it was laughably polite. Idra on the other hand will tell someone to go fuck themselves and he'll mean it. He stood out way more for that, and it's a dynamic of the GSL I'll miss. Yes, I love Jinro, he's awesome, but he's so damn nice and genuine, he's just a giant teddybear, and I find him less fun to watch (maybe I'm just waiting for nerd rage all the time). Idra's the guy we love to hate, and in an American League, his personality won't shine so much. Although I'm sure many will see this as a good thing.

Dox Australia1199 Posts February 16 2011 06:32 GMT #106 Damn, this is sad news to me! I really appreciated his consistent foreigner representation in the GSL. All the best back in the US.

HeIios Sweden2523 Posts February 16 2011 06:38 GMT #110 Dear god. I don't know how to feel about this just yet. I think this will be good for him personally (I think, I don't know the guy). BUT! He will be dislodged from the Starcraft mekka and the possibilities that come with: monthly tournaments, practice partners that compete in CODE S and the korean food!! Well I will still cheer for you Idra, so gg.

Froadac United States6733 Posts February 16 2011 06:38 GMT #111 Start playing the national anthem, baking apple pies, etcetera. Welcome back greggity!

kYem United Kingdom412 Posts February 16 2011 06:39 GMT #112 I actually though he will play in GSL and leave after this season ;/

Piledriver United States1697 Posts February 16 2011 06:39 GMT #113 I guess he felt that he had a better chance of winning more stuff in US than in Korea. Smart decision by him, but I guess thats the fate of most of the foreigners who go to Korea.

suspiciousbear Canada112 Posts February 16 2011 06:40 GMT #114 I hope this doesn't signal a shift after which Koreans and North Americans play in different leagues due to both of them being viable. That would be a huge bummer, if the only likely way of the best meeting each other being through online tournaments, then that would suck. Hopefully I'm not being overly dramatic, hopefully there isn't a huge dilution of skill caused by the presence of multiple viable leagues. If only players could teleport around the world, then we could have world-class Starcraft 2 everywhere.

DyEnasTy United States3714 Posts February 16 2011 06:43 GMT #116 Wow that is so awesome. Welcome back Idra!

AyameStarcraft United Kingdom192 Posts February 16 2011 06:44 GMT #117 NOOOOOOOOOOOO! I feel sort of dejected now... glhf Greg and I wish you all the best in NA.

Cyber_Cheese Australia3615 Posts February 16 2011 06:44 GMT #118 well thats somewhat disappointing,,,,

DeltruS Canada2214 Posts February 16 2011 06:45 GMT #119 Hmmm... If HuK doesn't do well in GSL code A, maybe he will return to roflstomp NA with his Korean super-training.

adRo. Australia243 Posts February 16 2011 06:46 GMT #120 This is pretty big news. Are EG still doing that house in korea? Or whats the dealio! Im going to assume this has something to do with that big announcement Geoff has been hyping up!
