I don't think he 'dislikes' drewbie that much. It was drewbie's play-style on that map that probably was frustrating Idra.
On a map like Scrap Station, that mech style is extremely infuriating to play against as Zerg. The Terran can dictate the pace of the match and all you can do is slowly throw armies after armies into the Terran until you starve him out. Very taxing on your apm, requires a lot of multitasking, and very strenuous in terms of stamina.
If Idra makes one mistakes during Drewbie's timing pushes, he loses (could lose at 5, 6, 10, 15 mins, etc. if it isn't scouted and defended properly). However, the zerg can only win slowly in a 30 min game against that. It's just annoying to play against and I think it got to Idra.
But with that said, that was a pretty sick game. I'm hoping he streams more, I need to copy some build orders from my favorite zerg

Hey just a random question since I didnt follow the BW scene, but did Idra and Day9 ever play each other in an important match?

More IdrA gold... Just saw an amazing 40 minute game idra vs drewbie where it was a siege of broodlord, corruptor, infestor vs mass turret, thor, hellion.
After the game drewibe says:
LOL
GG
Idra responds:
"kid has the nerve to win games while being that bad"
"then says lol"
Drewbie said "LOL" then "GG", as if zerg wasn't UP at all and IdrA was spouting BS all the time. This is why IdrA reacted so aggressively.

Yea...I really didn't get that at all.

Idra doesn't like drewbie because he feels he is not a good player, and only became well known for playing terran when they were very overpowered in the start of SC2. He also became famous solely for beating Idra(as many players do lol, that just shows his popularity, that he has anti fans who follow anyone who beats him in a major match.)

Maybe you're right, maybe I am. Who knows ? I felt that the reaction from IdrA was because of that.

Well, people become famous when beating Idra not due to his popularity, but his usual negative reaction. The same reason 90% of the people are here. Look at the 359238 pages in this thread and you will see that almost every single page will have some form of remark regarding a recent colored exit from a game.

Don't understand this. People hang off his negative reaction because hes popular. If he had no popularity nobody would take his comments so personal. Like Incontrol has said in a recent Sotg, Idra's actions echo through the internet.

One thing I don't understand about myself is that I like IdrA but I hate Phil Hellmuth.

In the interview of NaNiwa by MLG -
MLG: Some have said that you’re the closest match to Idra on the European scene, when it comes to your in-game and tournament behavior. Do you think the comparison is valid?
NaNiwa: The difference is that Idra just doesn’t give a ****, but I actually do. I do not let my anger go out intentionally to make a point or whine about imbalance for fun. Recently I have been a lot better at controlling it. I would like to be compared to no one. I want to create my own new reputation.
Am I blind or nobody mentioned it in the thread yet ?

I think one of the reasons why idra is so popular is his comments.

I'm pretty sure he actually meant his reputation. IdrA doesn't care about being called "BM" and things like that. He'll speak his mind if he feel like it. It seems like NaNiwa does care about it, and try to be less like IdrA.

Except he is being worse, by doing things like dodging his opponents at NASL. Ladder BM is not on the same level as that =/

Pretty sure he didn't want to dodge it. Granted he had no respect for his opponent but I really really doubt he thought he'd get off with a simple dodge (with no penalty).

I dunno, I just thought that it was a reeeally long back-and-forth match and it finally ended when pretty much all the minerals were gone and they only had a handful of tier 3 units left so drewbie just found that a good match.
