These things of course don't go unnoticed in the EG team, they are obviously very pleased with this behaviour because it's bringing all this exposure. We're talking about a professional environment, where nothing happens without a reason and very little is left to chance. Because exposure is everything, so yes it's pretty safe to say he is at the minimum exaggerating. Question is: how much because he's not showing any physical traits of anger or getting annoyed (teeth grinding, fists clenching, itching, face palm, hanging arms or muscle tensions), which is pretty incredible.

i think you dont understand the levels of anger
you can get angry and not start smashing keyboards, it might be more accurate to say hes extremely annoyed
different people get angry in different ways and take it out in different ways

You'd be suprised how many subtle gestures someone makes when one is even slightly annoyed. It is only that we are so focussed on verbal communication that we don't pick these up anymore, but we still have them from our evolved past where we didn't use verbal communication as a main source of communication. Many people start scratching their heads when even slightly annoyed, this is very much hard wired and difficult to avoid unless you consiously choose to or are acting out an emotion.

Could it be because the Day[9] show hasn't started? Not sure, back to more important things then

It seems Crank didnt fall out with Slayers, they released him because he has an injury to his neck.

You can see his face of frustration quite often when he loses a fight to a protoss death ball, or he sees a zerg suddenly emerging in sight with a bunch of roaches when he didn't expect it. A lot of situations like this, you can see his face. And he gets frustrated.

fortunately, unlike many progamers, frustration does not equal stop playing for idra.
although we don't know for sure, but it is widespread that many foreign progamers simply do not practise that much. and one major factor is likely to be frustration and difficulties in gameplay, thus resulting in 'giving up' or setting lower goals, even simply accepting the skill gap between foreigner and korean.

Idra rage is like Samuel L Jackson in Pulp Fiction rage...great vengeance, furious anger, eat your tasty burger, etc

Stupid discussion is stupid. Also been done like a thousand times.
Let's go look at his ASUS ROG group instead. Should be pretty good.

Will be hard. Taeja is so strong and he won the MLG Arena, Pomi is a decent Protoss and Protosser is actually not bad. He showed good results at the last Dreamhack. I think he'll get out 2:1 of this group.
Isn't it the GSL System?

Yeah, it is.

wow lets hope idra meets taeja in winners match!

Hard to judge how IdrA will do. Protosser doesn't have a particularly good zvz record but a few of those losses are against the likes of Violet and Nerchio, who are amongst (if not the) best zvz players you can play vs in the foreign scene.
Pomi beat both Haypro and Happyzerg in the qualifier for this event, so he's obviously no pushover.
And Taeja is one of the best terrans in the world. Just have to watch, cheer and hope for the best.

idra will steamroll taeja
|
oh god, taeja the only terran who can still beat zerg. WHHYYYYYYYY
