Everytime idra wins goswser just says that he has one like the last 5 times (not sure if true or not) then idra will say like you're still terrible, and then the go back to calling eachother bad. | ||

He states that he loves "the competition" because he says he loves competing and does not like SC2. I remember him also stating that he prefers Broodwar and dislikes SC2 because it has much lower skill cap. He switched to SC2 because as we know he has huge fanbase and lucrative contract with EG. His streaming, Salary, and some tournament winnings make him 10x more money he would make in CJ Entus. He explicitly stated he loves money  If he stayed with the game he loves+respects: No stream revenue (Kespa) - 5-15k viewers = you do the math (Kespa doesnt give a f. about foreign community)No Tournament winnings = He could never compete vs Jaedong and Flash so no real income from BW. (Greg was decent player but these two simply broke the game )No fan exposure / Release the Gracken shirt which gets him money Difficult competition to appear in ProLeague Strict, not-social life in Entus house - compare that to what he has in EG Lair :D Even recently Incontrol implicitly on iTG made a remark that he feels bad for people (read Greg) who don't enjoy the game because he loves the game and he talked about what the game means to him. | ||

You explicitly state here that he likes SC2 I stated that he plays sc2 only for the money and likes BW, not SC2 which he said numerous times. The second half of the post shows how much money he makes while playing SC2 therefore proving that he plays sc2 for the money which he would never make in BW. In one of the interviews in last year, he even said that he plays sc2 for money only . | ||

He elaborates more than when he plays - obviously since people want to see him play too. Since I don't use twitter, can someone ask him to commentate on the ProLeague vods of Jaedong or Flash ? He would choose ex. 1 vod and commentate on either bw or sc2 game of Kespa players. | ||
