I think idra was just like "shut the fuck up" or something or other in a game and that was pretty much the extent of it.

MSI GT660 http://msi.myeg.net/?page=msinotebook1 (just googled it, btw) There's more to the story, though. You might want to read this and watch the games (list on the right): http://blip.tv/file/4332742  Enjoy! I believe that they just gave idra the laptop...it wasn't part of the tournament. IdrA doesn't actually win anything by playing that last match... all he can do is prevent his opponent from winning it. IdrA posted a tweet a while ago saying how it felt dirty to play the match solely to prevent someone from getting a cool laptop
Sure, I think they just gave him the laptop. I just wanted to point out the interesting games. (And to add more content on a googling result.) I especially recommend game 4.

idra recieved the laptop from MSI as part of their sponsorship as part of EG.
the TT1 bm was basically tt1 saying that noone would care about idra if he wasnt known for his bm, which is debatable at best.

While idra does has that demographic of fan/antifan that are there for the bm, the majority are there because he is a solid consistent player.

The bm ads to his fame but even without that Idra would still be famous for being on a proteam in Korea during BW for a while which also boosted the fame of Nony and Ret. Pretty much I started cheering for Idra just because he was a foreigner in Korea even though he really didn't do anything in BW. Idra then was a consistently good player in the SC2 scene so Idra definitely would be a big name even if he was well mannered.
Idra being only famous for his BM is kind of like saying Bisu is only popular because of his looks.

Let's not spoil future tournaments and just enjoy seeing IdrA perform well!

Can't wait to see IdrA owning in IGN proleague. I hope we are going to see his new style of "i don't give shit anymore so i pull off crazy stuff and it works". In recent streams he's been doing: baneling bust PF through nydus, NP HT's and storm protoss army, double spire action, sauron zerg play with 4 bases at 12 min mark, winning game with mass blings only, smack-grack-talk and other delicious stuff!

the TT1 bm was basically tt1 saying that noone would care about idra if he wasnt known for his bm, which is debatable at best.
To be fair to TT1, he was (in his eyes) trying to be friendly and trying to convince idra that maybe Z has some possibilities that will let it compete with P in a macro game, bringing up stuff like, "bling drops work really against me when i play against them" or something like that. Idra responds with something like, "well that's because you're bad. not everyone is going to fail at defending against bling drops." TT1 takes offense at that and says, "who do you think I am?" Idra: "some random maphacker from the real game" and that's when TT1 gets really pissed and saying that no one would care about idra if he didn't BM.
The above is paraphrased.
Think people like TT1 antagonize Idra easily because they think, If I'm friendly to Idra, he should be friendly to me, and when Idra isn't friendly back, they take umbrage.

Ah, not being critical or anything. Just giving more info for the guy that asked.
It's nice to see that he's streaming more, but honestly, I really wonder how good you can possibly get if you only play NA server and your teammates. EG isn't bad, but... they're still not top tier players except Idra.

Axslav is definitly getting there and machine is better than what he shows, maybe nerve issues but watching his streams, his results dont justify his skill.

He also has the best mechanics and the best "vision" for Starcraft where cheese doesn't exist and all Zergs are allowed to get 9 bases.

I know you're trying to be cute, but the engine of Starcraft 2 doesn't distinguish between 3 bases and 9 bases. Go see Lalush's thread.
