Traitor!


Pretty much. I will probably remove most of the links from the replays section as well as they are freely available on other replays sites.
I feel like I've missed something as but this is more or less everything that has been posted in the fanclub.

Also, there seems to be some sort of a bug - a lot of the pics in the OP are displayed as [img: http://i.imgur.com/58dxd.png］ instead of the actual image, although the code is correct. Unless I'm going blind.

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...

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.

Lol that might not be good for their relationship if 100,000 idrA loving nerds suddenly discovered her identity.

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.

I found 2 Gisado Episodes that have IdrA in it. You may want to watch or add to the op as well. These aren't those TPZ special event or whatever it is games. Just regular Gisado episodes from early-mid february.

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.

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.

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 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.

It amazes me that someone who so obviously has a problem with IdrA would be reading his fanclub thread in the first place. Such a strange thing to do.

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.
