yeah i am a fan :D i think his bm adds drama and interest in the games themselves (e.g. his rivalry with Zenio). altho occasionally wen he whines too much it can be annoying. and those were awesome games last nite!

Awesome playing, I really liked the game against clide, since this push (marauder/hellion) is giving me a pain in the ass..
|
clide made marauder because he thought he ll force idra into roach by making 5 helions?

Most Zerg players would have responded with Roach, Idra's just played too many games to fall for that trap.

Say the word (out loud) Acknowledge
Now say (out loud) Gracknowledge the same way you would say Acknowledge.
The 'Grack' in 'Gracknowledge' sounds an awful lot like 'Greg'
BLEW MY MIND (and yours)
I think you're mispronouncing Acknowledge.

Yeah, why is a unit with bonus dmg against light going to force hydra? I think it was to encourage roach, which the marauders would have roflstomped. Lesser players would have overreacted with a roach warren.

What are the odds of Idra reading this but here goes.
Congratulations on your win against Nada & making it into the RO8 Idra. Great games to watch & well deserved wins. Love the gracket too! (it's literally impossible to make a post about Idra without theg rack meme appearing)

I'm an Idra fan. Go Idra Go.
I used to be a Terran player, but the moment I saw Idra play a few games - I switched to Zerg and haven't looked back.
Once you go Grack, you never go back.

I think it's safe to assume he reads most of what's on here, so grats it up
Great games last night. I'm just hoping he gets a good map selection in RO8 (and possible further rounds) - whether he's knocked out or not, I don't wanna see him eliminated by bullshit.

He can downvote two maps in ro8 as far as I remember, so prolly DQ and Jungle Basin are out. Steppes, LT (esp. ZvT) are still in a map pool tho, rest are pretty gooood, apart from Meta on close positions...
Can anyone remind me when he will play his ro8 games? Im some how unable to find it...

Just a thought. World of Warcraft. Arena, just like that one in STV, on the bottom of Eastern Kingdoms, Gurubashi I think. Plenty of spectators (NPCs) cheering from time to time: Release the Gracken!

Yup.
If I had a fan thread, I'd be checking it, and I know he does the same.
Who's spirits wouldn't lift a bit when they read a buncha posts from people rooting for them. Might make their worries a little less, get them a little more pumped up, etc.
Compliment his epicness to your hearts content. ^^

What keyboard was IdrA using vs Nada? I thought he used a Steelseries 6Gv2 but that definitely wasn't one.

Is it against the forum rules to quote old posts of people saying IdrA wasn't a good player, and wouldn't accomplish anything in SC2 (to make fun of them) ?

No from what I have seen its only against the rules to quote idra 'abusing' admins as the person who did that a while ago got warned or temp banned
