"zomg idra is losing to really fucking good players, hes slumping so hard god hes not even going to keep playing the game anymore cuz his mentality is sooooo bad and he doesnt even like the gaem!!1!"

...anyone else getting tired of this? When I see the IdrA fanpage get updated, I don't want to read the same whining. I want to read about interesting shit related to IdrA (like new quotes so I can be amused).

Losing against Symbol and Cloud, I really was not expecting that

Hope Idra will somehow find a way out from this bad result ><

Retire to what? He's dedicated the majority of his life to playing esports. He's spent long stints in Korea and plans on returning. Any talk of retirement is just silly. He's playing tons of games on ladder and in practice its not like he's slowing down and just letting his career die out.

On a more pessimistic note this is the worst I've ever felt about IdrA's play. I hope he rebounds soon because it's too painful watching him lose in absolutely everything he enters from IEM to MLG, team matches to show matches. He still has IPL and MLG coming up (I'm unfortunately assuming that he won't make it through Iron Squid groups) and if he doesn't make a splash at either of those IdrA will be in a situation similar to Tyler where he's more well known for his past accomplishments than anything he's done recently.

You shouldn't, idra has by far the biggest fan base in SC2. The fact that he has the most popular fan club, and can maintain 10k viewers on his stream despite doing so poorly proves that.

He's only like 22, he can still go to school.

God people relax.

For so long people has sayd Idra needs to evolve as a zerg and he is finaly doing this. He is trying to get the ling/infestor build involved in his ZvT play ofcourse its gonna take some time before its solid.

So many people allways so dramatic.
