But yet people seem to think 'oh, I know what will be a good idea- I'll go to the Idra fan club and I'll write about all the things I don't like about Idra and then when anyone disagrees with me I'll accuse them all of being mindless sheep. Yeah that will be a really useful thing to do.' Bizarre. | ||

Big teams like the University of Texas and USC have people who love them to death. They also have people who will follow their fans around screaming at them how much the school sucks. Its the cost of being big. On top of that, big names get fair weather fans who will bitch and moan when he does badly and say he's "the best in the world". Sometimes within the same breathe. Then you add in the fact that he's a "bad boy". Which constantly stirs shit up. | ||

Also, it is a problem with a few other types of threads like female only tourny threads. just read my thread if u want a slightly detailed look into it. Anyway, about IdrA and ITG. Does anyone know if a caller asked about Ultralisks on the show? I'm just curious. I've been wondering about ultralisk's viability for a while now. | ||

Also Idra stands out being who he is. You cant deny that he has a attitude and almost an arrogance that makes him an easy target for haters. Add in the fact that he consider himself as one of the absolut best players but he never really won anything big, and that will of course bring even more haters. | ||

First of Idra is a very bm player and he is often involved in flames and stuff on his stream and out in tourneys (huk, cruncher etc). People come here to read about it since this is the best place to go. Also Idra stands out being who he is.

The more YOU are talking about it, the more THEY are as well. EDIT: Who is IdrA playing next in the NASL playoffs? | ||

Belive it or not but that is not a troll post. I was replying to a recurent question and nothing I said was wrong. I also did not say that Idra IS this or that, I just stated facts and the common view that many have of Idra. Bad or not its how it is and you should be able to discuss it as long as it is done in a mannerd way. A question? If a person LOVES idra for being BM and comes in here and say Man Idra is just the most awesomo guy ever, I love how freaking bm he is etc etc etc. Is that guy trolling this topic, should he be temp banned or is that ok? AFterall you cant say in what way people are allowed to like Idra.....or? I mean some people love hockeyplayers because they are good at fighting, others love players who are good at hitting people, others those who scores etc etc. People have different preferences for what they like. | ||

So you have to win a GSL to be legit or something? Compared to almost any foreigner you're a fool for not seeing him as one of the most accomplished there is. When you spew garbage like this it's just so hard to even care about how much you dislike idra. | ||

REad the tl.net. There are alot of people who think that Idra is to hyped compared to what he has won. you dont have to win GSL but only winning NA only tourney is not that impressive to people. | ||

No one seems to be impressed by any tournament win. Heck people discredit GSL wins because people like Rain and Inca make it to the finals. If you set 'impressive' achievements to high all your left with is a very negative view on the scene and leaves no reason to actually follow competitive starcraft. The posters who bag Idra's resume are just jumping on the band wagon of hate and don't actually look past that bias and realize if you discredit Idra's resume you have just taken a big shit on the entire foreign scene. | ||

Just like you see sixjax_Major "fan" club start up after he beats InControl, they are founded on the hate/dislike of another player more-so than the like of the actual player. IdrA has more fans than anyone in SC2. Like Wheat said "Either you love him or you love to hate him, either way you love him". | ||

Gotta have some controversy to have a discussion ^^ No wonder his fanclub is like 10 times as big as anyone elses.. apart from Day9's I guess, who's controversial in the opposite direction as he's like a Gandi who doesn't believe in counters or imbalance  | ||
