Cheese is strongest when unexpected - and he gets cheesed all the time anyway, so why bother playing against a mediocre (for Idra's level) player who is likely to cheese again and again for more ladder points?

On stream today, after IdrA beats scfOu's marine/scv rush, and scfOu leaves without gg'ing, IdrA messages him

IdrA: fuck you
scfOu: you no gg
IdrA: cuz I don't play like a piece of shit, you do
IdrA: show some respect to your superiors

Since I saw you reading this thread on your stream, I will type something I've been thinking about for a long time. It's about why you, IdrA, are my favorite SC2 player.

1: Personality

Back in your BW days, I hated you. I saw a protoss lose a reaver to you and you said "thanks" which was really fucking douchey. Losing a reaver is really frustrating, and that was just pouring salt into his wound. However, it seems to me like you're much better now. Yes, people still consider you BM, but imo you mostly BM when it's justified these days. For example, saying that Terran and Terran players were " a joke " in 1.00 was true. Their race DID require less skill, and they WERE less skilled than their Zerg counterparts.

I love how you always tell the truth, and your opinion. I think everyone should be like that, and I despise people who despise you for being "bm" on the forums. I'm exactly the same in RL conversations. Not only did you say that T was OP when they were (they were dominating tourneys) but you also admitted that your OWN race (Protoss) was OP when they were OP.
Oh, and you don't show any mercy to religious people who ignore facts and are ignorant. =)

2: Playstyle

Fruitdealer's style is organic and fluid. IdrA's style is metallic and mechanic, and I don't mean this in a bad way. Fruitdealer is magic, IdrA is technology. Fruitdealer is Bisu, IdrA is Stork. If I had to draw IdrA's playstyle on a paper, I'd draw a perfectly symmretical sphere or cube. Sleek, symmretical, mathematical, elegant, logical. IdrA's playstyle actually reminds me of crystals, which of course are extremely beautiful in their symmetry and pattern

3: Forum posting

I know you've said that you rarely troll, but that people just aren't ready for the truth. Most of the time, this is true. However, you have to admit, sometimes you do troll. And when you do, it's epic.

In the thread regarding the pope admitting that Galileo was right, you said "They'll catch up to ancient Greece any day now". While that is true, it's also very troll-esque to say it the way you did.
Basically, you never troll by saying something that is not true on purpose, but you do state your opinions, and facts, in quite a troll-esque manner from time to time.

I also fucking love how you just MERCILESSLY bash people who are wrong. You don't give people the truth on a silver plate - you smash it in their face. If someone doesn't know what he's talking about, yet acts like he does, you will pwn him. And it's hilariously epic to read.
Sometimes I go to 100 page long threads and just CTRL + F search IdrA on every page, because your posts are so fucking hilarious. :D

4: Honour.

While I don't know you personally, you are the last person I would imagine cheating or accepting an unfair advantage. Yes, I read the "Foreigners suck" thread where you accepted a tourney game win after someone disconnected, but that was back when I hated you anyway. I honestly believe you would never do something like that anymore.

You are the type of person who would never cheat to avoid ladder or tournament losses. You would never maphack. You would never resume when someone has to pause the game for a few minutes.

I used to hate you (Got tempbanned for a post I did in this thread earlier, where I said I hope you get bashed with a shovel), but now I respect you a lot, and you are my favorite SC2 player. I don't even watch SC2 because I find it boring as a spectator-sport, but I watch games you play, and I watch your stream.

And last but not least, FUCKING WIN A GSL! I know you are capable of doing it, and it would shut up all the dumbass Husky fanboys who say you're not good like Jinro shuts up scrub Terrans who say T can't play a macro based game.

In other words, it wouldn't shut them up at all because people are fucking stupid, but it would still be awesome.

If you actually read all of that, thanks, and I hope you enjoyed it
