Signed, seconded, whatever! this is why I was looking around in this fan club thread. I NEED the playlist, I know some of the songs played on your stream, but this night there were som many modern electronic beats mixed with instrumentals like saxaphons and other kinda 20s/30s music style. That was so good! Does anybody happen to know some of these songs, or some that go into the same direction of music?
The music he was listening to just before the stream went down was Parov Stelar.
Thanks man! Made my day, much appreciated. But it wasn't Parov Stelar the songs before? There were like 5 songs in a row which had these elements of 20s and 30s saxaphone/trumpet/ jazzy style mixed with e-music. Awesome stuff!
That sounds like Parov Stelar's style... he was listening to their album for a few games before stream went down o_o

Staying at the top of the ladder is difficult when you're always favored
Actually this gives me a whole new appreciation for Idra turning off the stream after a loss. 10 wins = 1 loss must be really effing aggravating. I'm always pumped when he loses and keeps playing.
Idra, keep up the good streak, but don't get too frustrated at the road bumps! Also, keep pwning rushes/cheeses, it must be so satisfying.

Provided all the JTV producer contracts are the same (they probably aren't), .2 cents per commercial per viewer. So if everyone sees it, $24. You gotta factor in geography (some areas don't get commercials at all) and adblock, though, so the actual amount is lower, but still unknown.

He gets money from VOD views as well I believe. There's a commercial everytime someone views the VOD. Currently his most popular videos are around 115K views.
great thing about watching idra play is his mechanics are so crisp it's really noticeable the difference with the first person view compared to other zerg streams.
my 2 cents on commercials; I don't mind "watching" (see:tabbing) a commercial every 2-3 games considering it's probly less than I'd spend watching commercials on youtube videos anyway and the money actually goes to a player rather than a commentator or sponsor. I doubt he's rolling in cash from commercial views but even if he is - his stream is one of the most viewed and frankly has some of the best gameplay in a large community of pro streamers, he should be wiping his ass with $50 as far as I'm concerned.

it's mostly from nit grit, skrillex and crystal castles (dunno if this one is dubsteb) idra post your playlist! ;p
IdrA seriously has the most ballin' playlist ever. Parov Steller, Skrillex, Deadmau5, Crystal Castles... I keep his stream going minimized at work just for the music. :D
Man, it must be hard to swallow losing ~80 points in four games, while a win brings you +5 or sth like that. It's tough to be the top. Last night the game against Slush was the first ZvZ loss i've seen from him in a loooong time.

same here! thanks to those who pointed parov stelar out, really enriching!
^ Idra's twitter: "i'll be the guest on SoTG next tuesday. i've bet @itmeJP that i can get him >20k live viewers. spread the word. you will be rewarded."
>20k live viewers? That seems pretty difficult to do. Hope SotG hits that high viewership, though. I'll be tuning in next tuesday like i've always been!
