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 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. Did you see crunchers blink stalker micro in their last match? 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.
Actually if you watch idra play he micros his army quite heavily, reselecting certain groups of roaches to get a better arc as each army repositions, and selecting incoming zerglings to, for example, surround his enemy's reinforcements. His micro in engagements is at the very least as skillful as blink stalker micro. You can argue that cruncher is skilled, but that doesn't suddenly mean idra has crude play. Maybe you should take your own advice and actually watch what idra is doing before you comment on his play like, oh I dunno, some sort of blind sheep or something.

Idra was right in this tchat, he just straight up outplayed cruncher with multi prong drop and attacks, and cruncher could not abuse his race. He just say the entire truth, and if you don't like that yeah, just get out...

Just ignore frumpylumps. Back when I use to patrol the battlenet forums he was one of the people that gave it it's horrible reputation.

You'd better leave this thread before someone mistakenly associates you with us.
Of course I'm not talking about ALL fans. I'm a fan of Idra too in a certain aspect but I like to use a more level headed approach than saying cruncher is a skilless waste of life like a lot Idra's fans do, that just isn't true at all. CrunCher is actually going to college atm while playing on a pro level in SC2 and not a lot of people can do that.

Is anyone else sick of all the terrible backseat mod "i'm more level headed than you just you wait i'll prove it!!!" posts by people who pick out the one in a hundred terrible IdrA fan posts and pretend that it applies a significant population of people who enjoy watching idra play? I swear the ratio of shitty idra fan posts to people denouncing shitty idra fan posts is like 1:80.
Protip: Your posts denouncing the shitty post are just as bad the guy making the shitty post because they have equally pointless content!

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.
Their record doesn't fucking matter. IdrA posted that comment after cruncher did NOTHING on shakuras but sit in his 3 bases maxing to 200/200 while idra kept trying to attack, which he could not do because of ramp and force field.
He then a-moved across the map and won.
What happened after that is inconsequential.

Husky will be casting the finals of qualifier #1 of WCG USA tonight at 9:30PM EDT between IdrA and tQState. The score between the two players is already known, but i'm sure they are going to be exciting games regardless.

If that was the case then cruncher beat Idra in a macro game. You really think that took no skill when Zerg is supposed to be the macro and knowledge race? Cruncher outplayed Idra and theres no denying that. Defending and then A-moving across the map and winning via superior economy is what zerg is supposed to do best.
I'm an Idra fan first and a cruncher fan second but even I will admit that Idra got beat at his own game.

and the amount of times that will ever happen are few and far between. If you're asking for idra to never lose to inferior players, or any good player to do that then you'll be disappointed. It's largely irrelevant because idra wont be beaten at his own game most of the time.

its because people like you actually have no knowledge about the game at a higher level and dont actually know what to look at during the game other than what the caster is screaming at you. The Shakuras map was changed ffs to stop that bullshit of play from happening. The maps expansions are too close together to allow for mobility abuse via drops, the 3rd was in a small choke where you couldnt engage head on, the natural is on top of a small ramp which is unattackable, and if you cant harass the protoss and allow him to get 3 bases fast then 200/200 of collosi and voidrays then the zerg will lose.
No amount of skill with a "knowledge and macro race" (which i still dont understand what you mean) will change those basic rules. What do you mean cruncher beat him via superior economy? idrA had the superior economy just was impossible to stop the ball from accumulating.
Some players just seem to think that whoever won automatically is a better player. Please gain some knowledge.

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 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. He then a-moved across the map and won. If that was the case then cruncher beat Idra in a macro game. You really think that took no skill when Zerg is supposed to be the macro and knowledge race? Cruncher outplayed Idra and theres no denying that. A-moving across the map and winning via superior economy is what zerg is supposed to do best. I'm an Idra fan first and a cruncher fan second but even I will admit that Idra got beat at his own game. its because people like you actually have no knowledge about the game at a higher level and dont actually know what to look at during the game other than what the caster is screaming at you. The Shakuras map was changed ffs to stop that bullshit of play from happening. The maps expansions are too close together to allow for mobility abuse via drops, the 3rd was in a small choke where you couldnt engage head on, the natural is on top of a small ramp which is unattackable, and if you cant harass the protoss and allow him to get 3 bases fast then 200/200 of collosi and voidrays then the zerg will lose. No amount of skill with a "knowledge and macro race" (which i still dont understand what you mean) will change those basic rules. What do you mean cruncher beat him via superior economy? idrA had the superior economy just was impossible to stop the ball from accumulating. Some players just seem to think that whoever won automatically is a better player. Please gain some knowledge.
Cruncher gave up map control and let Idra do whatever he wanted.
The map doesn't matter in this regard, it got changed because of the push terran was able to do through there. Nice try.
Cruncher had only two base while Idra had the whole map if he wanted. I know that being a fan can make us a little biased but how can you not see that Idra got outplayed? Idra had every advantage and still lost. Do you really think someone with "no skill" would be able to do that? I'm an Idra fan too but we should give credit where credit is due else everyone will think Idra fans are delusional morons who only see one POV: Idra's.

The score between the two players is already known, but i'm sure they are going to be exciting games regardless. For more info: http://us.wcg.com/?page=news&id=6971
Thanks for the info, I wasn't aware of that.
Guys, can we please refrain from discussing the results for the next few hours until they cast the game? I'm still not over getting the xiaOt series spoilt. :/

Is anyone else sick of all the terrible backseat mod "i'm more level headed than you just you wait i'll prove it!!!" posts by people who pick out the one in a hundred terrible IdrA fan posts and pretend that it applies a significant population of people who enjoy watching idra play? I swear the ratio of shitty idra fan posts to people denouncing shitty idra fan posts is like 1:80.
Protip: Your posts denouncing the shitty post are just as bad the guy making the shitty post because they have equally pointless content!
I couldn't care less really. It's not one of those things that will change by pointing it out and giving substantial arguments. Everyone who sticks around for long enough will notice it with time, and those that are only interested in drama will never be objective anyway. I've been in a lot of great discussions both here in the fanclub and back in the irc chat before he switched to justin.tv, while the noisy ones tend to disappear quickly as they get bored... Seriously, I couldn't care less. Idra's BM is at worst distasteful and boring. As long as he acts professionally during official games he can be distasteful and boring when he feels like it without disappointing me.

It's actually 5:4 for Idra in official matches (Justin.tv Invitational #2, TSL3, ESEA). That is if we count the Shakuras game, which we don't because it was a farce.

I'm tempted to tweet @ that girl that everyone thinks is Idra's girlfriend to see what she has to say about it. :D
Or perhaps just JP to get them on SC Center.
P.S. I'm astounded as to why this wasn't in the OP already... It is now.
