well we all know that feeling, yet we're still in touch with the game aren't we?

I suppose he was much more hopeful of Blizzard back then. Yeah I do agree he hates losing more than he hates the game, but that's probably not enough when he has to play it 8 hours a day

he came out and said on an ITG that he hates starcraft 2 he jsut loves competition

He's always been vocal about hating sc2. I think it's sad because he clearly loved and had a ton of passion for BW.

the funny thing is lately it seems he has no thrill for the competition.

So... Idra is on a 14 lose streak. It's really strange that he did better when he was practicing 3 hours a day than he is playing 8 a day. Maybe he should take a holiday or something.

I feel like we can sit and analyze his mindset etc to death.
Winning or losing, IdrA will always be my favorite player. If you're the type of fan who goes inside when it rains, in all honesty, you aren't a fan at all.
IdrA WILL be back. I think its going to be funny to see what some of you have to say then.

i personally dont think any foreigner will have a place in my heart like idra but after itg i just cant root for him/cheer for him/ hope for a brighter day. until he shows he actually cares again. and not about sc2 but about being the best of the best like in the past

Don't get me wrong, that stung me as well. I don't think he has a genuine hate for the game though. I do, however, believe he has a strong dislike because of certain balance issues he believes should/shouldn't be in the game.
With that being said, I would love to see him skip a few tournies and just kind of 'disapear' from the scene for a while, maybe even just a month.
I think Alex Garfield sees this slump and I expect him to do what is in his power to throw a rope and help get Greg back to form, however that may be.

No he won't.
I'm pretty sure he is going to retire soon.

i doubt it if hating the game was enough to retire he would ahve by now, hes still going well enough and still popular enough for EG to renew his contract so its not like not making money would make him retire hell probably wait till HoTS see what happens, he loves competing and its not like hes going to get into a more physical sport or some other type of competition this late in the game so hed have to give up competing at something professionally

Well HotS will be a complete game changer, it'll reset the playing field, so that'll do wonders for IdrA's mindset, and I'm willing to bet he's just waiting to see how he does once it releases.
If he doesn't do well after HotS, I wouldn't be surprised if he retired for good.

He'll never retire. Even if he's not winning tournaments or even having decent results, he's a legend of eSports. He'll always have a lot of people watching him no matter what simply based on this fact.

I guess they are allowed to but MLG doesn't pay for their flights or something as a penalty

his problem is more about the balance of the game not the skill of the palyers
