Unless I'm going blind.
If there are too many different pictures in a post, the pictures start bugging out near the end of the post. There's a thread in the website feedback forum about it, but I can't find it.
Try removing one of the pictures. You'll see that the highest previously non-rendering picture will suddenly render correctly.

someone should make a motivational poster out of that This is hilarious to you? I love his game skill, but he has to be the most unlikeable pro in Starcraft 2.

You obviously do not understand the context of this quote.
Earlier in the EG Master's Cup, Adel blamed lag in a game versus KawaiiRice that IdrA was casting, when he went blind three base against Kawaii's one base all-in. The next game he said that "us people r tard" because Kawaii said he wasn't lagging and Adel would not stop whining about the lag even though there was something fundamentally wrong with his strategy.
So, when Adel brought up lag again after a failed attack that had no hope of doing any significant damage (because IdrA was prepared for it and Adel had used 3 Guardian Shields for no reason earlier in his base), IdrA was going to have none of it.
The response definitely makes sense seeing as Adel is trying to blame his poor strategy and execution on a latency issue. There is obviously some delay when playing on US from EU, but these "5 second spikes" he complains about are likely due to his connection, not the difference in servers.

Adel has a notoriously bad connection, even playing on EU servers so i don't doubt he lagged. (no excusing what he said btw)

You are correct I did not know this and it makes more sense.
He still rubs me the wrong way, I have very little tolerance for people that carry themselves the way Idra does.
I've known quite a few like him in my business relationships and invariably they become their own worst enemy and I have to cut the cord.
Oh well, I've said my peace, please know that I think very highly of his play. It is exceptionally precise and well thought out, if not inventive.
Peace

I was raised to believe that being disrespectful to your peers and being a general arrogant asshat would not get you many friends. Times they are a-changin.
I hear ya man, it is disgusting to me that so many degenerates will worship someone who acts like an overgrown child just because they are good at a video game.

I used to think the same, until I began seeing him "in-person," casting, in interviews, interacting with other starcraft players irl and on SOTG. Before I could not stand his attitude and his disrespect towards other players.
I began to see another side of him and realized its more of an online persona. It's just an image he wants for himself. He's like Phil Hellmuth of poker. Both Idra and Phil are extremely talented but wild, outspoken terrible mannered person at the game/table, but off the game/table hes really chill, 100% family guy, loves his kids, etc etc. Although sometimes they both take it a bit too far, which I dislike.
Don't take them so seriously. And they do add flavor to the game. They're just different. Give them a shot and you'll see what you've been missing out.

No, stating your opinion about someone whenever they are mentioned on the internet is very important.

Cruncher beat idra with the colo + void deathball, on the old shakuras, ONE DAY before it was patched in 1.3.3.
Obviously the community and Blizzard believed he did indeed NOT use skill to win that or it would not have been nerfed and the map removed from tourneys.

Cruncher and Idra have both 3 wins and 3 losses vs each other, they are tied out of a total of 6 games.
You really think Cruncher doesn't have any skill? I know you are a huge Idra fan and maybe are inclined to be a little bias but don't you think that is a little silly to say?
Did you see crunchers blink stalker micro in their last match when it was him vs Idra? I have never seen such good blink stalker micro. I have never seen Idra do anything like that. I think mostly Idra just smashes his army headlong into his opponents and just expects to win because he thinks that is how zerg is supposed to work.
I like to watch Idra play too but I'm not going to be a blind sheep (not saying you are) and hate someone and say someone is bad and has no skill just because my favorite player says so . Clearly, cruncher has a lot of skill, this is visible in watching his games and from the top players he is able to take down.

someone should make a motivational poster out of that This is hilarious to you? I love his game skill, but he has to be the most unlikeable pro in Starcraft 2. I am at a loss as to what could possibly be the reason for his popularity. Is it his internet tough guy routine? The BM is funny to people? I am genuinely interested to know, because although I get that he has probably the best mechanics in the game, he gets away with being an absolute douche bag to anyone and everyone and gets lauded for it. I seriously don't understand... Everyone is a fan for a different reason. Some like his no-bullshit attitude and willingness to say whatever he thinks regardless of the consequences or weather its "pc" or not. Some think his BM is funny. Some are fans of his skill and don't care about or mind the BM. Some are fans for countless other reasons. Some are fans for all reasons combined. I like that IdrA isn't afraid to cause a little controversy. People tend to overreact a lot, nothing he says is really that terrible. I also love his personality outside of games (interviews, talk shows, commentating etc). I guess I'm just too old now. I was raised to believe that being disrespectful to your peers and being a general arrogant asshat would not get you many friends. Times they are a-changin. I hear ya man, it is disgusting to me that so many degenerates will worship someone who acts like an overgrown child just because they are good at a video game. xtfftc, here is another Idra quote for you to add to the list. http://i.imgur.com/OgNzW.jpgcontributing
It's fine if you dislike IdrA (and your posting history in other threads show that quite clearly) - a lot of people dislike the way he plays and the way he acts, but don't you think posting about it in his fanclub and calling his fans (or at least some of them) degenerates is inappropriate?

Yep, nothing but degenerates in here. You'd better leave this thread before someone mistakenly associates you with us.
