I've never downloaded SC2 replays from there - Are they easy to find on sc2rep? I might join you in this journey.

I was watching Inside The Game and, with MLG only a few days away, Idra said he is practicing for 3-4 hours a day. It's interesting, considering when he was living in the CJ Entus house he said he practiced for 10, sometimes 12 hours a day (which is when he was considered far above any non-Korean, which is no longer the case) and has always said there's no such thing as talent, with hard work being the only thing that matters.

You'd have to think that when he faces Bomber at MLG he'll be coming up against someone who has been putting in a lot more than 3-4 hours a day of practice and against far better opposition than the assortment of random nobodies Idra usually faces on the NA ladder.

Do realize in CJ Entus you HAD to play that much. So I doubt bomber is playing 12 hours a day or I would be surprised if he was

He might not be playing 12 hours a day but I bet he's playing more than 3 or 4. TheStC said he's playing 10 hours a day in a recent interview and MarineKing said he played 200 practice games to prepare for his ro64 GSL match.

When Idra left the CJ house he said in an interview he was going to practice just as much, he just wanted his own space... then he said practice wasn't as important in SC2... then he left Korea... now he said he's practicing for 3-4 hours a day and it seems most of that comes from laddering on the NA server.

Unless SC2 is a terrible game with an absurdly low skill cap I don't see how it's viable in the long term to practice for 3-4 hours a day and compete with the very best players in the world, particularly the guys practicing full-time in Korean pro houses.

He's in a house with the EG guys as far as I know, and most of his real practice comes from there, not the North American ladder.
