EPTAlso CosmicSpiral, don't worry about his sponsorship unless you are hoping EG drops him. He's fine. Sure we would have loved to see him do anything other than a six-pool, but it is what it is. He played well the first game despite losing and making that crucial mistake and he beat TLO. So overall he did well.

Are you aware during beta Idra was perfectly fine criticizing zerg, for example he stated that roaches supply 1 was OP? I was actually just more trying to be comforting, I am a Huge IdrA fan, what I was trying to say if when/if they do become balanced and he is owning them and they complain he should retord exactly how everyone else is retorting now just saying that your just a whiner. I realise IdrA is actually willing to admit things are imbalanced either way, but I am just saying he should not be objective about it because people will not be objective about his concerns. | ||

In his games against HuK at Dallas he showed adaptation against the 6-gate push, hydra/spinecrawler rushes, and a willingness to engage early-on to delay colossi production. Against Cruncher he was doing drops left and right (Game 2). And he won those games decisively. I play zerg. Don't talk to me about ZvP as if I don't know how it works. I would like to imagine yourself at Dreamhack with $15,000 on the line and you've down 0-2 to a foreigner Protoss. Not only are you in danger of losing the money, but your PvP reputation and standing in comparison to the rest of the world are being debated. The majority of people watching are in favor of the opponent, and the MU is known for being particularly volatile. Oh wait... Idra is not pre-GSL4 San. It's not like he can fail and just shrug it off while pursuing other interests. Gaming for EG is his job. I don't care how he personally feels about the matchup: the fact is, EG and its sponsors have vested interest and expectation in his success and he has implicitly agreed to play to the best of his ability. When I hire someone to install my pipes, there is no silent agreement that he can put whatever amount of effort into his work if he feels like it. Greg doesn't have the right to pick bad BOs because he screwed up in a preceding game. Can you imagine the community's response if say, Losira, just threw games with retarded decision-making because he disliked ZvP? Do you think that would earn him respect? Maybe he should, you know, harass MC's expansions instead of letting them run without a challenge. And not sacrificed those queens for no good reason. And actually position his broodlords so they're not vulnerable to blink stalkers. And not suicide his army into storms. Maybe he should put heavy pressure on P in the mid-game to prevent higher tech from kicking in. Maybe he should dedicate lings to denying expansions. A lot of ppl watch idra and more importantly the logos, win or lose. thats why they pay him. would not surprise me if he were not the highest salaried foreigner inspite of poor success. I'm not even a fan and can recognize a marketing machine. In sum you're wrong IdrA is doing the job they pay him to. 7524 worshiping posts, 1525902 views, etc is a testament to that while far superior Zergs like Nestea and Losira have a pittance not to mention everyone else. | ||

Go IDRA zerg hero with personality I also bought my 6GV2 because of Idra. Idra probably understands the most important thing about sport, something that poker players understood long time ago: He is an entertainer more than anything else!!! Winning or losing is not the most important thing, people getting entertained is, that's when money comes to you! | ||

We need him to get his mental game straight! Edit: Grammar called out for what? doing what he fucking wants to? he 6pooled. If he wanted to lose, that's none of their buisness, but thinking he wanted to not get $15,000 is retarded. I don't see why Tyler especially should care, the worse off idra is about PvZ the most chance he has to win, right? Winning seems to be the only thing that matters to the top players, spouting that dumb "play to win" line every chance they possibly get. | ||
