Fun fact of the day:

Idra claims he based his name from "idrajit" -- I'm a Sanskrit PhD student and find Idra's appropriation of the name interesting. Indra is the old Vedic Hinduism Zeus-type god (maybe 1500 years old) and the affix -jit is an adjective meaning "conquered/conqueror." So, the compound word would translate as "conqueror of Indra." Quite a strong name homage!

In the classic Ramayana Indrajit is a periphery character and somewhat of a badguy.

As for proper pronounciation, as per the Sanskrit, it should be "in-dra-jit" and not "een-dra-jeet" or something else with long "ee" sounds.

So, for proper pronounciation of the great sc2 player's name, it ought to be "i-dra" and not "ai-dra" (Tastosis??) or "ee-dra". However, because I don't know what pronounciation EgIdra is actually going for, the correct pronounciation is truly up to him. But from a linguistic point of view, his name is outlined above.

And there's your Idra fun fact of the day.

good sir, you appear to be somewhat lacking in intelligence. please refrain from posting until this is remedied, since it renders your opinions slightly less than correct and has a tendency to irritate more informed forum-goers.
